What are you going to achieve in life?

You can’t do it until you think 🤔 it.

Start today by beginning the cleansing process.

Take a moment and start fresh and new.

Ask God for cleansing, confess to Him all the things you’ve allowed into your mind and heart that shouldn’t be there.

Give Him control of the rest of your life, one day at a time.

The thought is the parent of the deed. All good psychologists will tell you that.

I’ve heard👂it put this way, “Sow a thought, reap a deed. Sow a deed, reap a habit. Sow a habit, reap a character. Sow a character, reap a destiny.”

Or as Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the CHANGE that you wish to see in the (your) world.”

I oftentimes find myself confused 🤷🏻‍♂️ about a message because of the broad generalizations it may communicate

But not these

These messages, whether from Gandhi or a message board, shoot straight from the hip

I did adjust Gandhi’s message by not looking at the world 🌎 as this immense platform, however, I viewed the world as the one I step into physically daily

My family world

My job world

My church world

My social world

My influence world

This is the world I can change

This is the world I can be the change in

This is the world I’m either happy with or not

As I sat this morning in my quiet time, my mind wandered to the past 10 years and the CHANGES that have occurred IN me and how “the world” around me also changed

During this morning’s reflection, I was reminded about a conversation and I had with PJ explaining to him that in 2009 I wasn’t happy with my life of uncertainty and the aimless chasing of unattainable euphoria from life’s deceit and deception

so I had to make a CHANGE

That this one CHANGE was the catapult of who I am and the guiding light of who I shall become

The CHANGE: to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior

This one decision CHANGED how I move

how I think🤔

how I talk🗣

what I believe🙏🏼

how I love❤️

Whether you’re changing the world on a monumental level or on a personal level, what matters the most is that this CHANGE begins IN you

Be the difference!

“So encourage each other and build each other up...”💫 1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Another successful year in the books
🎈
To say I felt love every second on my birthday would be an UNDERSTATEMENT
🎈
To you all who blessed me with birthday wishes and displays of unconditional love, I’m grateful to have you all in my life
🎈
And to thank you for showing me how to love with no strings attached

FLIP THE SCRIPT

Instead of criticizing people, your circumstances, your spouse

Take this tip I just learned at this month’s leadership mastermind meeting

Criticize by CHANGING your mind or better yet your ATTITUDE

Since all the above is predictable based on your current attitude state

This is best summed up by an eye opening quote: Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
Charles R. Swindoll

Sometimes easier said than done

But that’s ok

It’s all part of our story

The Fear

I used to fear heights, but at a young age I would climb the fire escapes of my abuela’s old building back in the South Bronx with my cousins and realized: respect the dangers of heights but ultimately the fear of falling can be control

Nowadays my fear isn’t falling more so then failing...to become better

At times I’m locked 🔒 in my own thoughts on what to do next that I don’t do anything and that is my biggest fear

Unfortunately, I’ve hit those moments more than I care to explain

Yet, what I’ve learned is if I can do something small and insignificant to most people but huge in my forward progress I walk towards the fear and eventually stare it down and realize it’s smaller than what I made it to be

The moral of this post: it’s ok to fear your DREAMS and it’s ok to begin something meaningful and think “Oh shoot I’m not ready” because that’s when you know 💯% you’re stepping into your PURPOSE

It’s important to know...

who you are...

how you behave...

what you radiate...

..when you’re around other people

Show up when you’re needed‼️
