Cant Quiet My Mind

Fearlessly let people know where you stand and what you will and will not except up front.... That doesn't mean be disrespectful in how you go about it but set the tone early and I promise your relationships (business, intimate, family and friendship) will be more fruitful. The more you leave up to assumption the more disappointment you will have when things don't go the way you want them to. I don't care what anyone says people by nature will typically take advantage of situations that work in their benefit. Just like a child will eat candy if you leave it out for him/her. People are not mind readers so assuming they will know what you want is illogical. Respect is earned not given. Respect yourself enough to set precedence for yourself but also be strong enough to handle that not everyone will be willing to abide by your precedence. If they are not willing to then ask yourself should you even be involved with them in the first place (again business, intimate, family and

Intention and thoughtfulness is powerful. But life has gotten so fast paced that we've forgot how to stop and think. We've lost our ability to contemplate and reflect. Time to slow things down a bit and get that back. Life is meant to be taken in and its difficult to that when you're rushing through it, chasing this "vision", this "goal". And if you are blessed enough to get there and look back, you'll sadly realize how much you didn't pause to smell the roses. The enemy plays off of our impatience and tendencies to rush. He seduces us with the "now" so that we forget the later. Instead of thinking through challenges and situations, we get frustrated and annoyed usually choosing the wrong route. The route that leads to even more frustrations. It would serve us well to quiet our minds often, to think about alternatives, and to have peace in doing nothing. Let's not be victim to the world's changing pace. Let's set our own. 

Failure is not the result of what happens to you ,    failure is determined about how    you respond , if you don’t allow life circumstances or being denied define your pursuit . You have never failed you just discovered what doesn’t work but it isn’t failure    , it’s redirection ... challenge yourself to pick back up anything you have abandoned or quit u only fail when you give up    . Sometimes failure happens when something isn’t for us so god redirects our footsteps to better trust God’s process sometimes he saves us from what might be better for us . 

This year I honestly think that I rediscovered who I was . Don’t get me wrong , life is a constant process of self discovery , but this year I realized what it meant to play an active role and to be intentional in the woman I was and am becoming . I realized that you can either live your life or your life can live you .....you can choose to become a victim to “circumstances” or you can choose to embrace your active participation in your destiny. I learned the importance of trust without evidence of what I am looking to bring into fruition . I learned the difference between keeping your word and living as your word . I learned what it meant to be in love, I learned what it meant to experience loss - in many forms . This year I learned . I learned that I am a culmination of various experiences that expanded my perspective and that often times , it was the exact thing that I resented the most that transformed me into versions of myself that I had no clue I could become . I learned how

Never make another person feel obligated to make you happy, support, etc it’s no one obligation but self FIRST, that’s just like coming to someone with your pain , sorrow, troubles, responsibility    & drama if that’s all you are coming to someone about constantly that truly shows that’s all you have to offer . Check yourself sometimes and check to see how you are taking care of you & how you love you . Sometime we ignore those signs that are constantly shown to us .  

When we understand that our trials are just a steppn stone to assist us with getting to our destiny,then we will realize that what most ppl think should destroy us can actually empower us if we choose it.
