UNIQUENESS

I've never been a social butterfly and/or been the person that everyone just loved and gravitated toward but at one time in my life i wished I were..

Not anymore! I love my corniness and loner persona; I'm a introvert, which is considered "Boring" to most and that's OK :)

I now embrace my uniqueness, it's what makes me, "ME". We all have something about us that others love and admire; we've probably been told but dismissed it because we didn't believe it ourselves.

Accept & Love your uniqueness and everyone that's important to you will too.

Be Blessed!

Out with the Old & In with the New (Mindset)

Last year a good friend of mine, gave me "The Everyday Life"Bible-Joyce Meyer Amplified Version and I just love it. I needed some motivation so here's what I read and thought I'd share.

Joyce Meyer- Life Point

God always energizes us to do what he leads us to do. It is only when we go beyond his will to follow our own wills (or other people's desires) that we are likely to get exhausted.

II Corinthians 2:14- God always leads us in triumph, his will is not for us to live defeated, weak lives, he wants us to be more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). His will for us is strength, not weakness; victory, not defeat.

Enjoy.....

Be Blessed......

ENCOURAGEMENT

A Few weeks ago, I was at a nail salon and while receiving my service i had earphones on listening to guided meditation. The nail tech asked, "what are you listening to"? I replied, "guided meditation" she then looked at me strangely and smiled. I asked her if she meditates and she jokingly replied "only when I sleep".  Initially I felt embarrassed and wished I hadn't told her but after thinking about it i reminded myself that it's been occasions when someone has shared with me something they were involved with or participating in that I had no interest in or understood the purpose, so why would this be any different.

I'm certain that we all have considered not completing things in our life due to feeling discouraged by people in our life that do not understand the purpose of what you're trying to achieve.

SO, if you have aspirations to do something that you believe in, do not allow fear or  discouragement from others to keep you from what you are trying to accomplish..  At the end of the day, you only have "one" life and only you can  LIVE "your" life.

Stay Encouraged & Encourage Others!

ATTITUDES

I know you've heard the saying, "You" choose your attitude.... I don't know about you but I have difficulty with being pleasant to others that aren't being pleasant to me. 

I suppose that is what being in the FLESH and not of the SPIRIT  is, I so want to LIVE in the SPIRIT all the time, I have good intentions but the the moment when a not so good situation comes about, i go directly into "reaction mode" which causes me to lose the ability to focus clearly and later if not immediately have regrets.

This spiritual living thing is challenging but the rewards are FabuLous :)

Choose Boldness Instead of Fear (one of my favorites)

PURPOSE

 What's my purpose?

Purpose is a word meaning an object to be reached; a target; an aim; a goal; a result that is desired; an intention. Purpose's basic concept is an individual's voluntary behavior activity awareness. Defining purpose is often relatively vague and almost meaningless; however, the concept is valuable and therefore retained.^[1] Purpose can be operational defined as entity class property which may, but need not have consciousness.^[2]

Simple question not so easy "answer", at least not for me. I'm on a journey, honestly I've been on a journey for Years, :) It's obvious that I'm not doing something right but I'm hopeful that I'll find my Real purpose in life. 

Over the years I've tried yoga on and off, and let me tell you it's not easy getting your body to cooperate with performing yoga poses, especially when you're muscles and joints are tight due to limited mobility (lack of exercise) age and non-flexibility but its a challenge that I'm attempting to master Again, Lol..

Meditation is something else that I've done on and off and I actually really do enjoy it, I just have to commit to setting a time to do it, who doesn't have 5 or 10 minutes a day for themselves, right?



I'm one of those seekers of peace, and from what I've read it seems that yoga and meditation is a great way of staying centered and finding that inner-peace so here's to me sticking with it



I'm watching Oprah's " Super Soul Sunday" right now, its so inspiring to see that people are figuring out what their purpose is and have found enjoyment, happiness, peace etc....


I want that!!!!!!!!
