I need to write

I need to write, and have to think it through

Every small step is critical with you

The life of a queen can be so demanding

The fame, the jewels, and yet still so humble...

My passion is ignited and causing an internal rumble

I need to write to think it through

HIS plan for us means me and you

The King with his Queen on the royal thrown

Fruits of the world, time of the essence, the whole galore

Our FAITH together growing stronger and stronger......

No limit to our life as we speak for more

With HIS grace there's no telling what's in store

So this might sound like a fairy tale

but when I write it turns to life

because the power in words means I'll .....PREVAIL!!

GO. GROW. EMPOWER.

Motivation

Greetings Readers!

I know it has been awhile, but I just recently got married and my time has been very compacted. Please forgive me! I hope this blog greets you in the greatest of health. Today I would just like to talk about an event that I attended called, "Get Motivated". It was an event held in the city of Pittsburgh at the Mellon Arena and it was phenomenal. Now, we all have an understanding that we need to be motivated to do something of great value, but this event was more than just motivation. It gave you the ability to take a step back and just think about yourself!!!

That's right, I said it, YOURSELF! How often do you take the time to just sit back and think about you? Do you put enough time and energy into yourself and take the break from others? No one in this world will put more time and energy into you unless you do first! Well, this event had tons of speakers such as: Tamara Lowe, Zig Ziglar, Terry Bradshaw, Rudy Giuliani, Troy Polamalu, Gen. Colin Powell, and much more.

These speakers did a phenomenal job, and I got so much out of it. My question that I pose to you is, "What prevents you from being motivated?" Every person is different and made up of different values and opinions. The ability to motivate such "different people" is a skill that is crafted. Is there anything that just keeps you from being motivated? Do you ever get in a slump of things and it takes awhile to get out of it? Do you have a high or low self image? These are things that you can determine to help figure out what your strengths or weaknesses are.

Motivation can come in waves, but what are you doing to keep your motivation continue?

Just Walk Away...

"Wait, here it comes. The argument is coming from what was just said. I can feel it. My pulse is rising. It's officially making me angry, I'm about to lose control." Do you feel yourself from time to time getting in situations where its just not necessary to be in? For some strange reasons you always tell yourself, "I need to remove myself from this situation and be gone with it."The crazy part about it is just arguments suck you in. They are like things that cling onto you and you just can't get away from them. We definitely are going the right route by stating that we can't continue to put ourselves into these situations, but the "lint" just keeps on coming back! Confrontational situations are stressful, not only to your mind and body, but also to your spirit. It takes a toll on you as a whole. Someone can literally take you to a place in an argument that can change your whole personality. Have you ever been taken there? You start doing things that you just don't do on a regular basis. Some people get joy out of creating these confrontations, but some try so hard everyday to avoid them every way possible.

We need to remove ourselves from negativity and negative people. That's the reason why we are surrounded by these kind of situations often. It's not the fact that we create them, but it's the people we are around that can create them for us. Have you ever gotten into an argument with someone you didn't even know? I mean, really, it could be the first time your meeting a mutal friend and they get on your nerves so much that an argument occurs. Now, I'm not saying that your friend is the one to blame, but I am saying that your friend may hang with negative people. Thus, your surrounded by negativity again. We can't shield ourselves from the negative because it's out there and it always will be. The thing we can do differently is feed our soul and minds with positive things. If you watch the news more than an hour a day, your not helping yourself. The news drives on negative because that's what gives them ratings. The average person doesn't want to know positive happenings, they demand to know what is bad out there and are they effected? Remain in a happy state and negativity will not effect you; it will simply amuse you. What are some things that you can do to help you remain positive? In the end, when negative comes.....Just Walk Away and you've won.

GO. GROW. EMPOWER.

Where do we go from here?

Good Afternoon Bloggers! Thank you for coming passed and seeing whats new and exciting. I hope that wherever you are, you are in great health, happy, and on your way to your next step. There is so much going on all over this world and many are confused about where to go next? Are we happy about where we are now? I'm sure you can remember when you were little your parents always said, "one day you will be the one making the decisions for yourself or your family". Are you at that standpoint now? Are you comfortable making those decisions? What we each are experiencing now is something based off the decision we made months ago. I'm not sure if you agree, but our reactions are based off of our pre-planned actions. You are where you are because of the thoughts you had and the things you've done based off those thoughts. No one is perfect, so if you're not where you want to be now there is always room for the future. The best part about life is that we can change from the previous mistakes we've had. Now, there is one thing to just learn from your mistakes than to learn and change. Thats what separates us. We all are given opportunity to advance but what can we do to "change" the situation?

First, are we accepting to change? You can't change unless you're willing to. Second, are we expecting it? In order for us have change we must expect it, confirm it, solidify it. You must speak what you want to change or else it won't get done. The moment of failure will hit you so hard that you will quit what your trying to accomplish if it isn't embedded in your brain and lifestyle. Third, once the change has happened can we keep it up? Yes, surely you can keep it up. That's the point of change. If it's embedded into your lifestyle then it will come easy to keep it up. Change doesn't happen overnight. It comes with time and consistency in your actions. We all have distractions that limit change, but that is something we must overcome! You can do it, you can do it, you can do it!!!! We can go to near and far as long as we apply ourselves. Empower yourself to KNOW you can do it! Let's take that step together!

GO. GROW. EMPOWER.
