Celebrate Yourself!

I got inspired from hearing a sister of mine saying that she had nothing to celebrate. They were talking about comparing themselves to others. But we have to look at everything that we have accomplished in our lives. It may not be big but it is something better than before. In this life, we will have many disappointments and no one is going to be there for us. They want to see us crumble and fall. There will be some people that are there for you of course, but since we all have our situations we may go to our lives and be "away" for a while. You have to be encouraged. Here's a little exercise: write down all the GOOD things about you. Don't focus on the bad or anything negative. You just focus on the positive. I plan to do a spa day for myself soon because I think it's necessary. At times, we are so overwhelmed with those things in life that we don't sit down, take a breath and rest. If you have Christ then this should be even better for you because He wants us to cast our cares on Him and to go on with our life because He has it all in the palm of His hands. We can celebrate ourselves by dancing and having a party with us. Lol! I know that sounds so hilarious and ridiculous but try it. I have to try this all myself and I'm telling you it works. Everyday I tend to talk to myself and yes I'm sane thank you very much. I may seem crazy to folks but it doesn't matter because I am very comfortable with doing so. I do it at home every morning or even just at random points. We have to know who we are and our identity is really in God. Why do you think you have a void inside because there's something missing and it's not celebrating by going to the club, drinking and smoking every weekend that will fill you. Christ is the only one that can satisfy our soul Whether we like it or not, we have to seek Him and ask for HIm to come in our lives so that He may take control. He knows what's best. He will be able to give us that reason to celebrate ourselves. We need to have that self- confidence.  Do things on your own and stay away from social media if that's what allows you to get into the mode of comparing yourself. It's really not good because everything that glitter ain't gold. We must pay attention to what we are doing and not what others are doing.  I picked this color because it shines bright like the sun. You are sunshine don't allow no one to tell you any different. If you need help, then have those around who will be an encouragement and builds you up, not tears you down. Get rid of those who seem to tear you down. Love your flaws each and every single one of them don't worry because we all have flaws because no one is perfect but Jesus Christ. Stay well my brother, my sister. Remember to esteem yourself in a way that's healthy and not in a way that will be unhealthy leading to destruction.

New Year, New Vision, New Mindset

Happy New Year one and all! I hope that you had a wonderful time celebrating. We always say every year how it's going to be different and I'm going to do this differently and that differently. What you call them....NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS! Honestly, I just don't believe in those, but I do believe in GOALS though. Make sure that when you actually say these things that you do them because we actually don't do them people. From saying I'm going to workout and eat healthy to I am going to treat people differently. If you ask me, you need to just do it instead of say it. I say things and I end up not doing them but I am learning to write it down once it comes to mind, go back to what I wrote and then do it. Sometimes I do end up failing but with every failure I am closer to my success. You have to make sure that when you do fall off, to get right back up on the train. That's what I just realized while actually writing this. I have a lot to do today and I haven't got to the meat of things yet. It is a terrible thing when we preoccupy our time with things that can be done later due to the fact that THEY WILL BE THERE WHEN WE ARE DONE DOING THE IMPORTANT THINGS. You are probably wondering why I am writing in caps because I want to make it known and it has some importance to me. The vision that you may have may not be new but if you still have it and what you tried in 2013 didn't work for you, then you need to change strategies in 2014. That's basically what I'm saying. I  am speaking about myself too and some things have changed and some things haven't. This is because along the way, my allergies decided to stop by and tell my body how it should operate. I'm telling you though NO EXCUSES. Keep on going and you don't want to end up with the shouldas, couldas, wouldas. I spell it like this because we pronounce it like this for the most part. Let's get ourselves in line people. For real, we have to be thinking differently because we don't want to watch our dreams pass us by. Dream again, make a vision board and go forth with your vision. HOpe your year of 2014 will be grand and greater. I know mine will!
