Times Like These...

Hey world...

There are times in our lives when the unexpected occurs & can rattle us to the core... It's definitely something that can sometimes bring about fear, worrying, discouragement, etc... Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason for what does or doesn't happen (at least in our minds). I've realized that understanding will not always be there when something happens initially. You have to go through whatever it is to gain insight. Just chalk it up as another lesson learned & know GOD is looking out for you.

I've gone through some unbelievable situations over the last 3 months & at times questioned myself and others... But I understand that I'm responsible for all that happens in my life, not others. Same with you. Think about all the things that are or aren't occurring in your life at the moment... The root of everything will always be YOU. Any struggles or failures we may have in life are the direct result of what we did or did not do. We're not puppets, battery operated or controlled by a joystick. The power of choice is a huge responsibility & it separates the people who "make it' and the people who don't.

Stop blaming others for what you lack. Be accountable for your actions. Most importantly, CHANGE YOU so things around you can begin to change.

Another thing is, who do you hang around?? Do these people challenge you?? You become the company that you keep. Are you around positive people?? Do they inspire you?? Do they motivate you?? Do they keep it real with you at all times?? Do you share the same beliefs?? Are you attached to people who are successful?? Ask yourself these things... Think about who you call "friend"... Or who you associate with... Take the answers you have into consideration & see where you're being influenced or how you're being influenced.

That's my spill for today... Hope it was helpful.


Live a life of Peace, Unity, Love & Liberty...
Let's P.U.L.L. on each other! :-)

Thoughts

Hey world...

Ever wonder why bad things happen even though you're doing things right?? Or have you ever wondered why you can't get help when you need it especially when others needed help from you & you were available??? It just doesn't make sense sometimes...

Things tend to not make sense quite a bit... It's the unknown factor that rattles or scares people. We hate not knowing why things happen. And the unknown keeps up from taking the leaps/risks we may need to take to get where we are going. I've always been told that when things aren't going your way it's because you're being taught something... GOD is trying to show you something & wants/needs your attention.

Just because something isn't right doesn't mean you're losing out... It just means something else better is available. Storms will continue to come but it's what you do in the midst of these storms that determine the outcome. They also help build & shape your character. Although you may not think there is a bright side or things look dim, keep pushing & face the tests. There's always a reward waiting for you...

I know there are others besides myself that are encountering some storms... Don't be afraid to ask for help. Explore all options. Don't give up. You will make it!


Just thought I'd share my latest thoughts.... Hope this helps someone get through. It certainly is helping me.

Peace & Love,

Hmmm....

What's up world...

This is really just a random blog moment... I've pondering over quite a few things & felt like sharing some of these thoughts.

First, I'm just so appalled at the lengths some women will go to keep up drama... The past is the past. Why is it so important to bring up something old that has no bearing on your present state nor your future??? Seems pointless to me. If something wasn't that important to bring up or address when it was going on, why do you want to create drama??? Does this make you feel better?? Are you just trying to transfer your pain, agony & hurt onto me??? If I've moved on, you should be able to do the same. Unless the situation has a direct effect on what's going to happen, YOU SHOULD LET IT GO.

Misery loves company... Bitter is not cute.

Second, I'm finding out that almost everyone I come in contact with has trust issues. And it's the biggest reason why so much drama exists. The killer part is that most will acknowledge they have it but don't take any steps to heal or get to the root of the problem. Then they still pursuit relationships, putting themselves in a position to possibly fail from the jump!

Misery loves.... I think you get it.

Lastly, I'm actually opening back up to the thought of loving someone again... The last year has been a huge transition to going from loving someone so much you want to spend eternity with them & they are a huge part of your life... To not even communicating to them & having to let go because it was the right thing to do. It hurt like hell but I'm finally at peace with it. It's a daily process to shed all the baggage that came with it & I know I hurt some women along the way... Sometimes we think we're ready for something only to find out we weren't. The sad thing is it effects not only you but others. My intent was not to waste anyone's time or lead them on. I hope I've been forgiven.

Well that's all from me today... It's been awhile since my last blog. I'm hoping to be more consistent moving forward. Thanks for listening.
