The jokes on you...

Morning all!! It's Friday!! Some of you have had a wonderful week while some may have had to drag yourself through it all, but regardless of how you finished the week you made it!!! I have been dealing with emotions and feelings lately and whatever I go through I try to make it a learning tool for myself or someone that it may be beneficial to. Let's just say a lot of the things we deal with on a day to day are more emotional than we think. If someone says something that doesn't sit well with you, we immediately act out of emotions. Even if we don't say a word our feelings are activated in that instance. I'm learning to be more mindful of how I allow others to affect me with their words, actions, and impulses. The more you give in to someone else's plot to break your spirit the more power you give that person to manipulate your actions and your words. The easiest way to deal with a problem is to get to the root of it and nip it (in my Barney Fife voice), in the bud! You can kill a  number of things that are meant to make you doubt yourself or feel bad by the responses you give. Instead of getting upset about certain things I in turn redirect that into a positive and you will be surprised at the response you get from those whose aim was to upset your world! In all things you must work smart and not hard. If I would use anything to encourage you on today I would say to you; never underestimate who you are or whose you are. But, to those who don't know about the power of words you should be aware that they can either shape or break your future so use them wisely. Even the people who have talked about you and speculated deserve to be treated kind and yes I am well aware of what I am saying. It's called "forgiveness and love" and it takes some time to get to this point. I am still a student so my learning is constant. Proverbs 18:21 says; "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." So with that being said; What is your daily bread? Are you speaking life or killing spirits? Here is a little inspiration to get your day off to a great one! And as always make tracks in life that no one can cover up.

The point of it all..

Good morning all! This morning I woke up feeling kinda groggy, but never the less I am thankful. Listening to some Rihanna to get my day going and begin to think about relationships. What would be the perfect relationship? I know many of us have different views on what is and what isn't the crem de la crem'. In my quest for growth I have learned so much about myself that I never knew and that changed a lot of the way that I thought about relationships as a whole. Honestly, have you gotten to know the best of you before you decided to get involved with someone? Don't bust your brain trying to answer that question because if your honest the answer is no. I thought I knew myself until I had to be put into a situation where I had no choice but learn to be content and happy alone. Trust me the process wasn't easy because I had never been alone and as far as I can remember I always had a man in my life. I actually felt bad when I found out that I had to cope without what I considered to be security. Trust me in the beginning it was not easy, but as time progressed things got better. Once you begin to accept things about you that others have had to deal with you get a better respect for people in general. A lot of the things I found out about myself were not good, but me being alone has given me time to work on those things. How can we be good for or with someone when we are not happy with ourselves? I wonder if we ever stop to say "let me make sure I'm ready" instead of just making decisions based on our emotions as we often times do. I was so clouded at one point in life that I really didn't know what love was and when it came to me genuinly in the form of a relationship I didn't know how to process it. So, that lead me to another question. If you have no idea of what love is; how can you receive it without thinking there are motives behind it or be able to give that same love back? These things are not as complicated as they seem, but they are important. My grandmother used to tell us that love is what it does, I have found that to be so true. Love is more than a mere word its an action and to live it and walk in it you have to know that it won't always be the best. We live life and experience a range of things but at the end of the day love is what will remain. So, when you're confused about what you want out of life and where it is you think you should be do a self check and see if you are satisfied with the results you come up with. Have a great day and smile...

Funny Thing...

Funny thing is I hear people talking about helping others and promoting awareness but truthfully speaking it's all smoke and mirrors. Show me someone who is busting a move on their words and I will show you how greatness can happen. Smh Sad how we (ALBANIANS) can never come together for the greater good because we are only concerned with self. I try not to believe the "crabs in a bucket" theory I've heard about my city, but it's hard when the people who have the power and influence to make an impact choose not to because it wasn't their "idea" or they didn't have the epiphany themselves. Sad day, but what I will say one thing about it; their "no" doesn't mean it won't happen. That's y I continue to keep it going because i have faith in my city no matter how many BIG I's we have around here. Maybe they will get it, maybe they won't. One thing is certain they can't say I didn't warn them! I'd rather be conscious of my connections and how me being connected can change my outcomes versus what others opinions and personal feelings are. I'm just saying fam! But trust it gets no better than this because I don't give up so stay tuned... Love is what it does, So love the hell out of someone; even those who don't believe... Be blessed and know that you already are! Just like my partner for Team Action Lakeshia Broussard says " Action speaks louder than words" ... Until then, be motivated to leave a trail in someones life that can't be erased.
