Do It Now!

Do what you fear and watch it disappear! What is it you desire to do? Have you put your dreams on hold even the more because you think: "I'm too old"- "it's too late"- "I don't have time now" or you have the "Who", "What", "How", "Why" syndrome. Throw all those out of the window, Now. Just start now by doing a simple thing like writing. Write down that dream you still have hidden in your heart to do. Then begin making a plan and schedule on how you will fit the "do" into your daily life just maybe an hour each day or every other day until it comes to view for all to see. As long as you are alive, you can do it.

Be Grateful For What You Have!

You can never have what you want until you want what you have. Many may not understand this statement. It clearly means that we can be so in pursuit of something, neglecting to cherish what we already have. For example: You may have a used car that's paid for, but seeking to get a brand new car with monthly payments, when in actuality, you fail to keep the one you have tuned up and oil changed at the proper time. Does that make sense to you? What we have in our lives now is what we deserve! If you disagree with this statement because you don't like your situation, take note that you played a part in where you are in your life, whether you allowed somethings to take place or you actually took action that put you in the position you are currently in today. The truth hurts, but it healing. We can begin to make quality decisions and make changes for the best.

Work it! You're Worth it!

^{Phil. 4:13} I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. We are created in the image and likeness of the Creator of all things in heaven, earth and in the seas. Therefore, each individual has a divine spark of genius within. Once we really understand this, then life becomes easy. Desires don't seem so far off. But mind you with this comes a great responsibility of self-discipline. Walking uprightly and living our lives according to divine will. Then through diligence in working on our dreams and goals continuously, they begin to emerge and come into manifestation. Now faith means right now action. So reach and work to make your dreams come true. Work it! You are worth it.

Understand Balance and Overcome!

Everything is enter/exit, up/down, light/dark, etc. Although opposites, they encompass the balance of life. In our down or dark times in life we must not see it for negative, but a time where we must BE STILL, reflect on the circumstances we're being confronted with in order that we correct errors. We are better equipped mentally to handle situations when we are in a mindset of peace. Why? We will not allow things to disturb our oneness with the Most High and then wisdom comes quickly with instructions on how to overcome and have a victory report in the end.

How Well Do You Handle Criticism?

Open rebuke is better than secret love. What does this mean? Many people may disagree with this statement, but it comes right from the book of wisdom, Proverbs. To rebuke someone is to bring correction. For example, if a child is wondering in the street, will you whisper to them or yell to get their attention so they can get out of harms way. So, it is with open rebuke. Correction should be given immediately, not worrying about hurting someone's feelings...and let's not be quick to correct someone just for our own glory. We must check ourselves as well. Are we open to corrective criticism? Can we "man-up" and take responsibility for our mistakes without defending our wrongness or making excuses? The sacred scriptures also mention, faithful are the wounds of a friend. Those who love us will tell the truth no matter what and be there in our time of healing.

Patience is a Virtue!

Do you know you can miss out on what you desire if you're not patient. Many times we are ego tripping, thinking like a child, "I want it and I want it now!" That which we want may not be what we need at the time. There is then a preparation period we must go through as well as a test to prove to ourselves if we can be faithful and grateful for that which we have at the present moment. A key to always getting what you desire is stop looking for personality fulfillment and seek fulfillment of the soul. What I mean is, "I want this, or that"- particular house, car, etc. You may not qualify for "this or that", but you will qualify for something that suits you at the time. Don't be disappointed, just accept the blessing, that which you can honestly handle. Be open to everything and attached to nothing.

Everything is enter and exit, up and down, light and dark, etc. that encompasses the balance of life. There is a time and season for everything under the sun. The down/dark/exit times in our lives are moments we must "BE STILL", go within when we are without, reflect or confront so we can correct. Being uncomfortable only means we are overqualified for that place where we are in our lives at that moment. We must always move forward and progress each day just as time goes by-constantly moving forward no matter how we feel. Stillness is a part of progressing in the rejuvenation, restoration and replenishment of spirit, mind, body and soul.
