Are you grieving over the loss of a loved one?

Are you grieving over the loss of a loved one? I understand your pain. It is very normal for you to feel hurt, disappointment and grief over a loved ones' life being taken away so soon.  Many have had this experience and if they tell you the truth, it still hurts. I cannot tell you that it will go away today, tomorrow or a year from now. But what I will say to you is--FEEL WHAT YOU FEEL. Cry, let it out. Whatever you have to do. Think about your loved one. He or She would want you to move on, live your life,right? I know he or she would. So, do just that. Make him or her proud. You are not honoring the persons' memory by moping and withdrawing from others. Live your life again and honor him or her by being the very best person you can possibly be. Do those things that he or she may not have had an opportunity to do----tell people how you feel about them when you feel it, meet new people, accomplish your goals, be an inspiration to others and most of all---DON'T WASTE TIME. Do it today, don't wait.

You have so much to live for and by honoring the life of your loved one with you living yours to the fullest is the BEST thing that you can do. Do not allow fear, guilt or pain to keep you from honoring the life by living yours. If you were very close, I am sure that you both talked about your futures and what you want out of life. Although your loved ones' life may have been cut short----you still move forth and if it makes sense accomplish the goals for the both of you! Now, that is honoring your the life of your loved one and that will make him or her very proud.  Do not ever let anyone tell you not to cry or feel your pain because it does not help to internalize pain. Allow your grief to strengthen you and the memory of your loved one be the wind beneath your wings of life!

Because of One

Because of one person, many are willing to throw away the future of a beautiful life destined for greatness. Because of one person, many are willing to turn the back on a budding relationship that is full of great promises. Because of one person, many are terrified of starting anew, accepting the possiblity as actual that the new will become of the same detriment. Because of one person, many have not moved forward, stretched minds, reached out or stopped to think about what could be rather than what happened "last time". The "one person" has too much power! Stop giving that one person all of your power. May I encourage you today to learn from your experience with that "one person" but do not allow it to overtake you to the point of you not wanting to live, not wanting to give love or friendship another chance, not wanting to smell the roses and not wanting to move forward with your life. It is a moment in time in your life and if you will allow the experience to be the "moment in time" then I promise you that once you grasp hold of what is available to you in your future and how bright your future is, You will love again! It all starts with taking your power back from that "one person".

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE

Job of the bible said it best, " The very thing that I fear has come upon me." Isn't it interesting how we can create horrifying outcomes of the situation of our lives and literally drum up a tragedy upon ourselves? Our mind is the most powerful tool that we have. What we think about life will be evident in how we act or respond to others. What you think about yourself will be evident in how you treat yourself and others. Whatever the mind thinks, the body will follow so it is important that we think good thoughts.

My Sister, My Friend!

I have deep admiration for my sister, who is a Real Estate Professional in the Dallas, Texas area. After 20 years of working at an unfulfilling job; She followed her passion of helping others purchase their dream homes! Often times, we see the success but we do not see the toils, trials and sufferings that got the person to the success!

My sister is extremely smart, resourceful and very intelligent. She has always been set apart. Before she became a real estate professional, she would drag me to look at houses. She was enthralled by looking at the homes, the way they were made, the nooks and crannies. She educated herself on the home builders and designers. She became a professional at recognizing the works of builders and designers. She carried books with her, studied layouts of homes and the like. 

I did not know this was her gifting then but in hindsight, she was walking in it before the opportunity arrived in her life. Years before it became official on earth, she was already a Real Estate Professional in the Spirit. WOW!

In the last few years, I've noticed that when I speak to my sister, I have homework by the time I get off of the phone with her. Do you have anyone like that in your life? She continues to challenge me to be the best at whatever I set my hand to do. I always feel energized, empowered and alive; like, I CAN DO THIS!  YES! If you do not have anyone like this in your life; begin to seek out this person. You must have positive people in your life that encourage you on to greatness!  Your life will never be the same!

Work your gifts

Do you know what your gifts are? What are you good at doing? What can you do with little effort that another may take months to develop? If you know the answer to these questions, please tell me, why are you not working in your gifts? Are you doing something that you know you should not do? If you know that someone else should be doing what you've been charged to do; why hold that back from that person?

There are so many people in public and private sectors that are not in their lane, they should not be in certain positions and if honest, they will admit it. They don't have the skills(innate or learned) to do the job they are paid to do. This causes more work for other people, wastes time and eventually money. I am not encouraging quitting from a job but people spend more time doing what they hate than what they love or what they are really qualified to do and I want to encourage you, whomever you are to really evaluate you situation and if this speaks to you; it is your time to put a plan in place to make some changes that will position you in your proper place whereby you can make a more dynamic impact on the lives of others. Be encouraged but most of all, Be true to yourself!

The Most Wonderful Love of All

You can’t love another human being unless you love and accept yourself. You cannot give what you don’t have. Your self-worth is very important. I am not referring to glorious vanity or your thinking more highly of yourself that you ought. I am referring to the mentality of accepting yourself wholly and without prejudice. It is a treasure and a delight when I meet someone who knows their own worth. When you are aware of who you are, you refuse to accept anything less than what you are worth.

When you value yourself, others will follow suit. Many people remain in relationships that are unhealthy because they believe that their own worth is tied to another person. Believe me when I say that your worth is not engulfed within another person. If you are in this type of relationship, Get Out Now! And determine that you are worth it. You deserve to be in a healthy, loving relationship. Other people can help, teach, encourage and empower us but no one can place a measure of value upon you except you-alone. So, may I encourage you not to wait to get praise from man. Love and enjoy yourself and delight in the Lord. You must know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are worthy! Say it with me: “I am Worthy of Love”

The greatest love of all is the love of the Lord God for God is Love. When we were created, His love was shed abroad on our heart. Though the world can be an unloving place, we all, in spite of what we show forth to others, we all have the capacity to love. Love is universal. Any person can recognize love with their heart. 

CHANGE - PART TWO

Change is good even when it seems bad. There is always a silver lining when change takes place in our lives. Oftentimes, we do not prepare ourselves for change. We allow our outer circumstances to determine our inner work. When things change around us that is beyond our control, we must look within ourselves and deal with the matter. Sometimes, I believe that change happens to show us ourselves.  It reveals our true nature, whether we can take it or not. It reveals our weaknesses and our inconsistencies. But when you embrace change, you realize that it really needed to happen and you are glad that it happened! Whatever may be changing in your life, view it from the perspective that it is a part if living and look for what can be learned from the experience.

CHANGE - PART ONE

The moment that you decide to change is when a great transformation can take place in your life!  By making a conscious decision to be your best self, your life will begin to be transformed in the direction of that decision. You will begin to line up with your decision. Internal determinations to change will only be effective if you are persistent and consistent in keeping your life on the transformation path to wholeness. As you grow and mature, your life should change. Your thoughts and actions should change. When you are a child, your thoughts, words and actions are child-like. When you are an adult, your thoughts, words and actions are adult-like. You look at life from the adult perspective. You understand so much more than you did when you were a child because you changed. Through the normal seasons of life, you are changing and hopefully learning new ways of living and discovering more of your purpose day by day. For example, When a seed is planted, a harvest is expected and after a while, a plant sprouts from where the seed was planted. The seed was transformed over a period of time. If the seed had not been planted, a plant could not grow. So it is with us, if our father’s seed did not meet with our mother’s egg, we could not even exist today, nor would we have had the opportunity to grow and experience the seasons of life. Change is all around us. On a daily basis, we see change and respond to it without even thinking about it. We change lanes while driving, go to different stores, changing parking spaces, trying something new at a restaurant, changing our nail polish, our clothes, our socks and shoes. It is only when change affects our emotions that we begin to fight it every step of the way. But change is not something to hate, It is a sign of normal living. God created us to be beings of ongoing change.

New Relationship

When developing a new relationship,  you should not assume anything. The only way you will learn about the person is to ask questions, observe behavior and seek clarity on the cloudy situations. Often times, because it is a new relationship, we want to just let things go and see what happens, when, if it was addressed at the beginning, things would have not gotten worse. Because you are responsible for what happens in your life, you should never complain about what you allow. You cannot blame someone else for the misery you endure because you didn’t have boundaries. Your relationship should not be filled with rules that no one can live up to but you should have boundaries that should not be crossed. Both persons in the relationship should set realistic boundaries that will maintain the integrity and promote healthy relationship development.

Circle of Influence

Everyone has a circle of influence. Its made up of persons that are close to us and truly want the best for us, they do not force their own selfish will upon us, they value their friendship with us, they are honest with us and love us, in spite of our faults or shortcomings. Additionally, they are committed to us, helping us to be the best that we can be. We also value their thoughts and opinions and this is why they are in our circle. But there is another curve to this circle. We may have some people in our circle of influence that shouldn’t be that close to us. This is why everyone we meet or have a friendship with will not be a positive influence in our lives. Many times, we can attach ourselves to people that mean us no good.  They don’t have our best interest at heart and can care less about our goals or aspirations. They can literally hinder our progress. As my mother says, “There are some people you have to handle them with a long handle spoon!” Their influence is not an asset, its a liability and we bear the consequences, if us choose to heed them.

Who is in your circle of influence?
