We Are On A Mission

“Get Out Of Your Feelings; There Is No Time To Dwell Apply Pressure We Are On A Mission.”

What do you want your life to reflect, what kind of impact do you desire to leave behind? life is short, and time is precious. Every day we are blessed with life it is a new page being written and added to our life story. The question I have for everyone reading is “If you died today now will your story impact lives in your absence, have you begun to create the pillars of your legacy?  The reason I ask this question is to remind you of just how important you are in the world. I want to remind you all that everyone of us has an assignment we all must carry out, but we can only get to it and be effective today is to value our time. A lot of the times we forget about one of the major facts in life. I have been guilty of procrastinating and robbing myself of time and opportunities. The problem with procrastination is I felt entitled to make excuses for how I was showing up or becoming a victim to the choices I made. I often made statements such as “I wish I would have completed this yesterday” there was no specific reason why I did not beside the fact that I was taking time for granted. Change does not happen overnight, but we can only get closer to achieving our goals through commitment and consistency making every day count. Making this declaration also opens the doors for adversity but we must always remember that life is not happening to us it is happening for us. I am reminding myself daily because It is normal to experience a shift in our energy when we are being tested. The shift we experience is necessary for elevation to be present in our life, always keep in mind that  for every new level in our life we requires a new level of growth, I am aware and in complete gratitude for what is about take place in my life in advance .

In addition, it is very important that we connect with our inner self, we must be able to recognize when we are in alignment and when we are not. This is not a bad thing I like to call it our divine energy giving us warnings and guidance. In order to live our best life and produce the best results we must remain in alignment and we must be able to recognize when we need to make changes to flow. We can choose to be the reason we win, and we can also be the reason we don’t no one else has that power over our vision but God. In most cases we are what stands in our own way, blaming others is just another valid excuse we use to feel better about our lack of commitment to what we say we want. I have learned to perform a self-check by asking myself what I am doing right now that is throwing off my flow and alignment. We can get distracted by our emotions or being busy focusing on what I expect from others. “Get Out Your Feelings” our emotions can take control of our ability to remain focused and can alter our perspectives.

n conclusion I want to invite everyone on their own individual journeys to join me as I make a promise and a declaration to myself. I am worthy and deserving of all the things I desire for my life; I will be excited and grateful about all experiences I face daily. I will smile when things are going well and when things are out of my control, I will trust that this is a part of God’s plan and my journey. I am open to all new adventures and committed to my growth, each day I must work a little harder on myself physically, mentally, and emotionally. I will separate from all the things that compromise my peace, I will stay clear of people and things that are a distraction. I will use my time wisely day in and day out, every day I get one step closer to completing my goals. I will remain focus on what matters most I am aware and accepting that this will not be easy, but the tests are important. I am a leader I know what I want, and I am not afraid to go after it, Nothing or no one can stop me. I have no time to waste I have a legacy to create, I appreciate all who support me, and I love those who does not this will not break me. I am on a journey that requires me to be focused, free, happy and maintaining the attitude of a winner.

Happiness Is A Choice Not A Service

“Sit with yourself, discover yourself, get to know who you are what you want and how you plan to begin to lead yourself.” I wanted to share that quote as a brief reminder to everyone that it is very important to build a relationship and a loving bond with our selves before trying to create that with anyone else. Reason being is we will spend too much time trying to make someone else wrong for not loving or showing us enough love when we do not give that to ourselves. We cannot expect someone else to oversee our happiness and fulfill the needs of our mind when we do not make our happiness a priority. No one is responsible for our happiness we determine how happy we will ever be. No matter how great a person treats us or the grand gifts they shower us with, if we are not happy internally nothing or no one can fill that void. Ladies and gentlemen by not being complete with yourself and aware of your insecurities you will continue to push people away. No one wants to be alone and neither is it intended for anyone to be alone. The truth is becoming whole with yourself sets the tone for all your relationships in your life. We all have a past and trials that have created certain insecurities about ourselves the way we look, the way we think, the way we communicate   and the way we interpret other people’s actions. What is important is losing all those things that may have created the spirit of low self-esteem, not knowing how to communicate, how to give or receive love. Everyone is not out to hurt us or get us as some say be careful with our thoughts the mind is a powerful thing to waste let us fill it with positive thoughts.

“Happiness is an internal feeling expressed out loud.

 ”

The truth is we hold the key to change the direction of or life by deciding when enough is enough, by deciding to let go of the past hurts and no longer will we decide to be held captive in them. Take time to date yourself get to know your strengths and your weaknesses and tap into how powerful you are when you are whole and healthy mentally, physically and spiritually. If we do not take time to do this, we will spend our whole lives taking things personal, living in a circle, and not ever being truly free or happy. It is important that we learn to not project our own insecurities off on to someone else. The stories we create behind what the truth is and what soothes our emotions do not make it true. In becoming selfless we learn that everything is not about us the world and everyone you know is not out to get you. The goal is to not become that person that never takes ownership and blaming others for who we are being or our short comings. What we believe people think about us is just what we think about ourselves and our own struggle with self-love, self-appreciation and acceptance of who we are. Today I am encouraging everyone single. Married, or dating to really take time to get to know you, love you and everything about you flaws and all we are Perfect in God’s eyes. Until we begin to love, understand, and accept who we are we will rob ourselves of the opportunity to tap into our true selves and purpose. Do not miss out on the chance to live a happy, blessed, and free life full of love and laughter. Happiness is an internal feeling expressed out loud.

Letting Go Unapologetically

today I am letting go of all the limited thoughts, actions, and beliefs that I once relied on. I am learning daily that everything works according to a God's plans for each one of our lives. The hardest part about growth is changing our mindset once we can shift our perspective, we are now one step closer to walking in purpose. Our happy requires courage and commitment in a world filled with doubters and naysayers we must be brave. Each day that we are blessed with life our greatest act of gratitude is to be thankful and open to letting go of the struggles of yesterday. Today is a new day you are not the same person you were last week, last year, or last month. In each day there is new lessons to be learned and when we learn we apply and in applying these lessons we can grow. This is our season of preparation for the changes that are about to occur in our lives.

Friendships will come to an end, family will become estranged, not because we desire that but because, growth is personal, and it becomes a lonely period in our lives physical. The beauty is we are not alone in spirit it is our responsibility to trust that God is setting up the foundation for new and amazing things to be birthed into our lives. In order to receive new, we must make room the things we once enjoyed, the conversations we once entertained is no longer welcomed. The reason why Courage is needed is because you will find that people will begin to project their own insecurities unto you. We must be able to stand firm for our purpose and let go of what we were taught is right. Ask yourself this question is doing what is right according to others worth the compromise of your freedom, your peace, and joy. It is okay to be Unapologetically happy and free in purpose because you deserve to be happy and you were created to do amazing things.

“I Am Letting Go And To make An Investment ,
In Living An
Unapologetic Lifestyle In Purpose. ”

In closing I want to remind and encourage everyone that what is success to you may not be the same to another. We were not created to force our beliefs and desires unto others. We were created to learn, share, and grow, if the person you are striving becoming does connect in the familiar spaces you once were accepted it is okay to exit with love. Live a life that inspires others to believe in who they are, do not be ashamed of your past. The past molds and prepare us for the road ahead, it is not meant to hold us back. When the world is unwilling to divorce your past, you have the choice to let go and walk in confidence. You live and you learn you win some and you lose some in the end every experience was a valuable lesson worth learning.

Faith Walk

For we walk by faith and not by sight 2 Corinthians 5:7, how often do you choose to walk in faith, is it easy to walk in faith? I do not believe that is easy at first and sometimes depending on the situation we faced with it may seem impossible .To walk in faith is to fear God more than man, to trust the word of God even when it conflicts with mans demands, to trust God in every circumstance; believing that God rewards those who seek him. When we are faced with adversities if we are not mentally or spiritually grounded depending on the severity of the challenge. Choosing to walk by faith is a test that we experience daily and on many different levels. The question is how we handle the tests we experience are seeking people to complain to, blaming others, or are we busy making excuses. It is a natural reaction when we do not have strong faith in God’s love for us. Does this make us a bad person? No what this means is there is room for improvement for growing spiritually and strengthen our faith.  Faith is not being able to believe only in visible evidence or only when things are flowing. It is important that we can smile and remain in gratitude even when we are uncertain about the outcome of your current circumstances.

I remember when I first decided to create unapologetic happiness, I felt very afraid for two reasons, one reason being I did not believe that anyone would read my blogs and secondly, I was not sure if I would be making the right choice. The reason why Unapologetic happiness exists today for the last two years is because, when my only options was to have faith and grow or be fearful and settle, I chose faith. I did not choose faith because it was the best option, I chose faith because I trusted that God would have never given me this vision without a plan for my life. The reason why most people never begin to bring their vision to reality is because their faith is tied to only what they can see to feel assured. The truth is having strong faith in God is the greatest assurance anyone of us could have in our life. I often reflect on the things that I have experienced in my life, situations that I was in where I could not see the light, but I knew that only God would be able to make a way. In the darkest moments I trusted that God would make a way and He has never let me down, people will fail you, jobs will fire you. The beauty about God is that his love is unconditional and even when we are in doubt we are still protected. Our responsibility is to stop being fearful and becoming a victim to every challenge we face, there is power in giving it all to God in prayer while you continue to keep an attitude of gratitude.

“I Know That God’s Love Is Perfect,
And His Plans For My Life Is
Greater Than My Own.”

In conclusion what most of us have failed at is accepting things and people for what they are and who they are. Accepting them does not make them right or the challenges we face less difficult, but it helps us to shift our energy to continue to patiently work. Pray and act, to patiently working is to keep going while we trust God to do a new thing in our lives. The more we set our intentions on walking in faith the more present we are to what each adversity we face is meant to teach us. In every situation there is a lesson to be learned and applied to who we are being and where we are headed. God did not create us to worry, nor did He create us to fear, he created us to worship daily and trust his will. Let go of the past hurts, forgive the people that once caused you pain, stop putting your dreams on whole waiting for people to show up for you. Show up for yourself and allow God to guide your steps, aligning you in the right places with the right people. Today I want you guys to say, “I am willing to walk alone in the flesh and walk with God in faith, God’s love is perfect, and I trust him.” Rise with enthusiasm for today walk by faith with confidence in all that you do because your security is in God.

Life Check

How often do you check your surroundings; how often do you take inventory of your life? Taking inventory of my life and checking my surroundings has been a habit that I developed as a teenager. Today as an adult it is no longer a habit but second nature for me to always make sure that the things I am committed and the people I am surrounded by adds value to my life and that I can add value to their lives as well. Time is precious and life is unpredictable, which means we have no time to waste. Every day that we are blessed with life it should be our goal to make all twenty-fours in that day count. Life is what we make it, but our life is shaped by our perspectives and our attitudes when faced with adversity. During our seasons of challenge is the best time to take inventory of our life, because this is the period in our life when all that we were once blind to is revealed to us. The truth is we can only see what is being revealed if we are not resistant but receptive to what we were placed in this situation to learn. A lot of the times we are blinded by our attitudes and our desires to be a victim and not victorious during our battles. The challenges that we face we are already equipped for and by eliminating the spirit of complaints we increase our ability to grow through our tests.

in addition, I want to share why taking a different approach to how we handle our current circumstances is important. In the lowest moments of your life have you ever experienced the feeling of being alone? When you look around and it is impossible to find the people you expected to be there with you, everyone that you expect to show up for you, and support you is no where to be found is a blessing in disguise.  This does not happen by accident this is always done with God’s greatest intentions for our lives. From my own experience and through studies of successful people, it is true that most of us will experience our lowest points just before we take flight. The reason being is God loves us enough to reveal to us who is for us and who is only with us for what their own personal gains. Our responsibility is to settle down, get control of our emotions, doubt, and the fear of what is happening. One of the best ways to shift our energy during adversity is to put on our magnifying glasses and tap into our gift of sight. If you are uncertain about the people in your life or not knowing who to trust, go through your storms and pay attention you will see clearly.  The key to learning is to apply the lessons being learned is most people are sometimes afraid to take necessary action. Depending on the role or the title a person holds in our life it becomes a conflict of the heart.  God is always prepared to love and bless us, but he cannot bless who you pretend to be or where you are, and who is present.

“Even The People Who Betray You Were Apart Of The Plan.”

In closing I want to remind you all how important it is to protect your space, your mind, and your energy always. In life we block our own blessings by being comfortable. Growth can only take place when labor is active, we cannot give birth to our purpose without experiencing discomfort. There will come a time when the friends you once knew and thought you needed will only be a memory of the past, when family are put at a distance simply because of you being obedient to God’s plan for your life. Today I want to encourage everyone reading to embrace your current circumstances, take this time to take inventory on your life. Checking of the expiration dates to make room for new and exciting possibilities that awaits you. There will be people that will only support you when it is beneficial for them or pretend support you just enough to know all your ideas and plans. Learn to recognize when, where, and who is deserving of your time, your energy, and most importantly your life. Living an unapologetic lifestyle is not easy but it is worth it, there is nothing more rewarding than living, loving, and creating your best life on purpose. Choose to have the full experience of who you were created to be in life no matter what, always remember that you are the author of your life. Live bold, be free, love fearless, and choose to live an unapologetic happy life.
