Thought 4 The Night

All people have to do is just really get the understanding of their purpose and they can move forward.

Dear Women

Random Pep – Talk

( Thanks Jada !! )

Today let go of something that is not good for you. Take a step towards taking the responsibility of only holding onto things that empower you. How we treat ourselves is how we TEACH others to treat us.

 

We often want to give away the responsibility to others to treat us in a way we believe we deserve versus us simply living and treating ourselves in a way we believe we deserve.

 

With this path …anyone who comes into our lives would not have the choice, but to treat us in the loving and responsible matter in which we treat ourselves.

 

The myth that one must throw themselves away to be loved is untrue. Touch your power and KEEP yourself and someone else will value you enough to KEEP you as well.

 

Definition of the word “keep” from Oxford American Dictionaries.
KEEP: Remain in good condition.
To retain ones place against opposition or difficulty.
Continue or cause to continue in a specified condition, position or course.
Provide for the sustenance of someone.
Pay due regard to.

 

Got Happiness!

The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness.  You have to catch it yourself.  ~  Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it…..   If you want to be happy, be.  ~because  Happiness is never stopping to think if you are.  ~ Did you know that most people would rather be certain they’re miserable, than risk being happy.  ~  If only we’d stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time.  ~  Happiness is excitement that has found a settling down place.  But there is always a little corner that keeps flapping around.  ~

OVERALL -  Nobody really cares if you’re miserable, so you might as well be happy.  ~  Happiness is always a by-product.  It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular.  But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.  ~

 

 What a wonderful life I’ve had!  I only wish I’d realized it sooner!

Evening Book Reading

 This poem that I just read REALLY was enlightening for me and it is soooo something that  I could have written myself! This lady literally just seems as if she is just so free from STUFF that I was so moved that I had to share my Nighly Poem read.

She Let Go

Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of fear. She let go of judgments. She let go of the
confluence of
opinions swarming around her head.
… She let go of the committee of indecision within her. She let go of all the
‘right’ reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice. She didn’t read a book on how to let go.
She just let go.
She let go of all the memories that held her back. She let go of all of the
anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it
just
right. She didn’t promise to let go. She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer. She made no public
announcement. She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily
horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go. She didn’t call her
friends to
discuss the matter. She didn’t utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened. There was no applause or
congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her. No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort. There was no struggle. It wasn’t good. It wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be. A small smile came over her
face. A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore.
Here’s to giving ourselves the gift of letting go…
There’s only one guru ~ you.

Just another thought…

Realize that enduring happiness doesn’t come from success. People adapt to changing circumstances whether the circumstance is wealth or a physical disability. So, wealth is similar to health; in that, the utter absence of either one breed misery, but having them doesn’t guarantee happiness.

Take control of your time. Happy people feel in control of their lives. One can master her/his use of time by setting goals and breaking them into daily objectives. Though we often overestimate how much we can accomplish in a day, we generally underestimate how much we can accomplish if we work on it bit by bit.

Act happy. Sometimes we can act ourselves into a frame of mind. Just by smiling, one can begin to feel better; just as scowling can result in feeling negative. So, put on a happy face and see if you can trigger the happiness emotion.

Seek work and leisure that engage your skills. Happy people are often in a zone called “flow”—an absorption in a task that challenges them without overwhelming them.

Join the “movement” movement. A large amount of research has revealed that aerobic exercise, as well as yoga and meditation, not only promotes health and energy, it also helps to alleviate mild depression and anxiety.

Give your body the sleep it wants. Happy people tend to live active, vigorous lives, yet, reserve time for rejuvenating sleep and solitude. Sleep deprivation can result in fatigue, diminished alertness, and gloomy moods.

Give priority to close relationships. Close, intimate friendships with those who care deeply about you can help you get through difficult times. Resolve to nurture your closest relationships by not taking them for granted, show kindness to them, affirm them, and share time together.

Focus beyond the self. It is important to reach out to those in need. While happiness can increase helpfulness, doing good also makes one feel good.

Keep a gratitude journal. Taking time each day to pause and to reflect on some positive aspect of one’s life; such as friends, family, health, freedom, education, natural surroundings, and so on, increases one’s experience of well-being.

Nurture your spiritual self. For many, focus on spirituality and religion provide a support community, a way to look beyond self, and a sense of purpose and hope. Research has shown over and over that people who nurture their religious or spiritual interests tend to be happier and cope better with crises.

true then BUT Funny now

“I’m Moving On“

I’ve dealt with my ghosts and I’ve faced all my demons Finally content with a past I regret I’ve found you find strength in your moments of weakness For once I’m at peace with myself I’ve been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long

I have MOVED on….

I’ve lived in this place and I know all the faces Each one is different but they’re always the same They mean me no harm but it’s time that I face it They’ll never allow me to change But I never dreamed home would end up where I don’t belong

 I have MOVED on…..

I’m movin’ on At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me And I know there’s no guarantees, but I’m not alone There comes a time in everyone’s life When all you can see are the years passing by And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I have MOVED on……..

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn’t Stopped to fill up on my way out of town I’ve loved like I should but lived like I shouldn’t I had to lose everything to find out Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road

I HAVE MOVED ON…..

Whew…I’m so grateful that God has helped me to move on!!

Oh Happy Day!!!

Okay good morning world!!!

I am literally in such the best of moods and I hope that this course continues! Lol for real….

I talked to my old best friend who just so happens to be my older brother and we had a chance to collaborate on our individual situations that have been going on over the years and that have seriously taken us off course…..  in the Natural and the Spiritual.

We were sooooo close before that people who did not know us thought that we were a couple…….

We are really, really, really two peas in a pod

 

that has just beautifully BLOOMED!      

Welp, we started a fresh and a new and chatted, shared, sighed and laugh til a little after midnight last night.

Im loving this NEW thing God is doing for me and in me….

Looks like I may have my old best friend back…..  with God all things are indeed possible…

Love you Lamonte!! Muuah!!!!

mirror.com

I havent liked what I have seen in the mirror that I can recall …only happenend when I was in middle school and up to my 10th grade year in high school. However back then I understood ONLY the fleshly side of MYSELF…..

Now that I am mature in the natural as well as the spiritual I can honestly say that I still indeed enjoy what I see when I look into the mirror but I JUST RECOGNIZE that there are some blemishes that need to be fixed, touched up and addressed! There is a difference when we CHOOSE to look into the mirror for the right reasons….

I was already prepared to see some “additional smudges” because I already knew that presently some were already there. Acknowledging that you have issues is more than 1/2 the battle because when you start the process to walk forward to ACCURATELY CORRECT them…. it has an awesome tendency to make the process less painful….

it can STILL be ugly and even SUPER UGLY sometimes seeing the person that you use to be… who you are presently and praying to GOD AlMIGHTY that you can have the strength to change EVERYTHING that he shows you ( in private )….

Educate yourself and learn to realize when you are wrong.. and when you need to shift from certain places, people and things…

Take the mirror when God offers it to you!!… My goodness it is indeed for a reason and it is only to HELP YOU! However, if you refuse to not take the mirror than of course… harm is the only recourse for what you have set your ownself up for!

Live FREE ..it is worth it.. you dont have to convince NOBODY how great you are….. but the one who is with you 24 hours a day….365 days a year… in the good times.. in the bad times.. when you are moody…and miserable.. when you are happy….and joyful…..

Have you figured it out yet?!!@@!!! Do this for YOURSELF…. and make God proud of the product that He invested in!

moving on

This is something that I have been processing over the last few years……… We can love people that have entered our lives… but that does not mean that they will or are intended to stay…. Relationships of ALL kinds come throught of Heart / Life canal but we must learn to re – evaluate just adjust to ” WHAT IS BEST FOR US”……….

Even family has to come under subjection to what is best for our lives…… it is indeed very imperative that we pray for them when their actions are contrary to how they should be… Nonetheless, if we are instructed to pray for even our enemies… and people that we dont know… we surely should and must pray for the family that God has ” BIRTHED US INTO”…….

Sad thing is that we do have to let go.. and LET GOD.. things like that NOW A DAYS have become such cliche’s and it can have the tendency to almost water down what people think of Christ and His ultimate power…. When people show you how they feel about you and the situation (s) at hand… believe them at least by the SECOND TIME….

I say the 2nd time because we all have bad days…weeks…. moments etc.. and we could just be going through something… HOWEVER, repeatedly negative behavior towards you in something that you should not take and certainly dont deserve if the other party at hand is not mature enough to express to you how they feel about you and or the situation…. If you have already attempted to do so and the behavior continues… you need to either look in a mirror and give your own self a pep talk with the question in mind >>>>> Why am I still putting up with this from a person who is NOT adding happiness to my life?

Train people how to treat you by SPEAKING up….. do it because you know your worth and you desire not to place your time, heart and emotions on sale!
