Your Growth: Your Progression

Seeds are intended to perpetuate various plants. Their growth and development predicate continued production and success. They are meant to survive, to thrive, and to provide sustenance.

What is the purpose of your design? Will you grow, develop, survive, thrive, and provide? The very core of your being is designed to be. Yet, your actions are aligned with your thoughts. You innately have a will that predicates survival but it takes a healthy mindset to support it. Wicked thoughts will snuff out the fire and desire that press you towards your success. So, remain on the positive side of your existence. 

While issues arise, challenges come, and temptations could lure you away from being focused, your beliefs can bolster your intentions. Your potential and your positivity are a catalyst for the progression of your efforts and become the foundation for your endurance. Do not be dismayed. Believe in your success!

Release the Old: Embrace the New

      

All of the reasons why you were created are the same reasons why you should remain until you have drawn your last breath. Questioning your being and denying reasons for your existence nullify your will to live, thrive, and enjoy life. 

Shut out the negativity that comes with your doubts, fears, and any naysayers' commentary. Remove from your presence those who are doubtful of your success. I am not saying that people who warn you against making poor decisions. Instead, I mean people who prevent you from thinking rationally or bring you down by being in the way of your success, whether it is advertent or inadvertent. 

Bring out the best in yourself by recalling your capabilities and utilizing your skills. Learn something new, allow others who enjoy who you are to tell you what is great about you, and absorb all of the positivity while you are celebrated. Allow yourself to feel well and think positively. 

Leading, Following, or Both: Discovering Your Greatness

We each need examples to show us the right way to handle things. Yet, is important to carefully decide what or who is the right example to follow. While each of us has strengths, we also have weaknesses. It is part of being human. Finding someone with outstanding strengths to emulate means being careful to not. also mimic things that should not be mirrored.

Develop the characteristics that you have determined to be significant and pertinent in someone you admire. Those traits that you find so admirable can be yours to exemplify. Remember that it takes time to change. Identify what needs to be altered, decide how to reasonably make positive changes, and celebrate who you are right now until you have become the person that you aspire to be.  

What is great about you? Discover your own greatness. You never know who looks to you for their examples of leadership and tenacity. Continue to work on yourself without having demeaning thoughts. Allow yourself room to make mistakes that are reasonable and work on correcting the habits and hiccups that should not occur. I cannot fairly say that it is ok to make mistakes without pointing to the need to change the weaknesses that you have already discovered. Decrease them until they are no longer an issue. Embrace who you already are along the way.

Dawn of a New Day: Embracing Life's Precious Moments

Every day that you open your eyes is a new opportunity. Not everyone gets that chance. Although not one person will see every sunrise or every sunset, the sunrises and sunsets of your lifetime are a gift. So, what will you do with the ones that you will see during your existence?  

About three years ago, one of my children succumbed to catatonia and has not been the same since. Having once overheard a staff member at a facility where he was being treated say that he did not have to take medicine if he did not want to, he, from then forward, refused to be medicated. His mind slipped further away and into an alleged schizophrenic cloud. Being of age to make one of the biggest decisions of his life without having clarity of mind to properly do so, he has become a danger to himself and, by default, a threat to society: this is a double threat that a man of color cannot afford to embody. 

 

Every now and then, he is able to carry a sensible conversation. Yet, as a being who is ensnared within his unstable mental capacity, he does not have quality of life. For whomever this must be written, because this counts for someone, do not squander away your time on earth. Your days, indeed, are numbered.

 

Disregard the Doubters: Focus on You!

Have you ever been thrown off by someone's disdain for you? There will always be naysayers. It is best to learn how to move around them, disregarding the negative vibes that they exude. 

Every now and then, signals are mixed or they get crossed. You may have even misunderstood something or they misunderstood something about you. If this is not someone who is approachable, then continue to focus on yourself. If you can have a cordial conversation with this person to make sure there is not a misunderstanding, that may be best if it would give you peace through resolution. 

When you focus on your success, you think less of them and more about your endeavors. Avoid wasting time considering what they think of you. It does not matter as long as you continue to move forward to accomplish your goals. Life comes one day at a time. Do not fill it with things that ruffle your feathers. Replace the negative thoughts with positive thoughts and dedicate your time to something constructive that makes you happy.

What: Did You Really Think It Was Going to Be That Easy?

 So, you set out to accomplish something and, surprising to you, you missed the mark and did not accomplish your goal. Instead of wallowing in defeat, configure a game plan. Strategize your next attempt. Surely, you were not going to give up!

Plan anything that is significant. The way to know what is significant to you is to imagine something going wrong with the plan. If it will bother you, that particular plan is meaningful. Do what you can to prevent things from going awry. You do not have control over everything but you can control the things that can be planned and considered. When making plans, leave room for error or, at least, leave room for a possible change in plans. There are things over which you have no control. For example, anytime someone else is involved, anything can happen. You can only control yourself. This is where patience and persistence are key. Working with others can be unpredictable. When it is necessary to form alliances, do so thoughtfully. This way, all parties involved can accomplish intended goals and are more likely to have a positive experience during the process.

The best thing you could do for yourself is strategize. Take the time to consider potential pitfalls that could hinder you from accomplishing your goal or retard the process. Allow unexpected occurrences to make you press harder to accomplish your goal. If things do not go your way in any situation, continue to focus on the goal and remember that mishaps are part of the journey. The key to overcoming is having a good attitude no matter what happens.
