A still, small voice

I haven’t posted much for a while now sooooo…. here it goes.
I’m pretty happy with how things are starting to unfold. Many struggles and obstacles have been encountered but overcome.
My family & I are finally opening our own Nutrition Club office in DHS which is really exciting.
My goal is to start a Fit Club & help people better their health without investing hundreds of dollars.
I finally accepted the fact that people change & that making new friends & experiencing new adventures is healthy. Sure I miss the old times but those are just great memories now. Plus, I always keep old friends in my prayers because they’re safe in Gods hands.
Personal Development has become my best friend. I’ve stopped living to please people & just do what makes me happy.
I’m thankful that things have gotten so much better regarding my relationship.
Now, I’m not where I want to be, but I’m not where I used to be.
Gods not done with me yet.. It’s only the beginning & I can’t wait to see what he has in store for my family, boyfriend and I.
Looking back at everything that’s happened these past months, I have to say that if someone would’ve told me that I’d be where I am today, I’d laugh in their face and call them crazy.
I’m just a work in progress, but my time will come & ill finally be able to say I made it. For now, I will enjoy the ride and hold onto God’s promises❤

GIVE UP YOUR NEED FOR CONTROL
Be willing to give up your need to always control everything that happens to you and around you – situations, events, people, etc. Whether they are loved ones, coworkers, or just strangers you meet on the street – just allow them to be. Allow everything and everyone to be just as they are and you will see how much better will that make you feel.
“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond winning.” Lao Tzu

GIVE UP YOUR NEED TO IMPRESS OTHERS
Stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not just to make others like you. It doesn’t work this way. The moment you stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not, the moment you take off all your masks, the moment you accept and embrace the real you, you will find people will be drawn to you, effortlessly.

GIVE UP ON YOUR FEARS
Fear is just an illusion, it doesn’t exist – you created it. It’s all in your mind. Correct the inside and the outside will fall into place.
“The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.” Franklin D. Roosevelt

GIVE UP YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS
about what you can or cannot do, about what is possible or impossible. From now on, you are no longer going to allow your limiting beliefs to keep you stuck in the wrong place. Spread your wings and fly!
“A belief is not an idea held by the mind, it is an idea that holds the mind” Elly Roselle

GIVE UP LIVING YOUR LIFE TO OTHER PEOPLE’S EXPECTATIONS!

Way too many people are living a life that is not theirs to live. They live their lives according to what others think is best for them, they live their lives according to what their parents think is best for them, to what their friends, their enemies and their teachers, their government and the media think is best for them. They ignore their inner voice, that inner calling. They are so busy with pleasing everybody, with living up to other people’s expectations, that they lose control over their lives. They forget what makes them happy, what they want, what they need….and eventually they forget about themselves. You have one life – this one right now – you must live it, own it, and especially don’t let other people’s opinions distract you from your path.

GIVE UP ATTACHMENT
This is a concept that, for most of us is so hard to grasp and I have to tell you that it was for me too, (it still is) but it’s not something impossible. You get better and better at with time and practice. The moment you detach yourself from all things, (and that doesn’t mean you give up your love for them – because love and attachment have nothing to do with one another, attachment comes from a place of fear, while love… well, real love is pure, kind, and self less, where there is love there can’t be fear, and because of that, attachment and love cannot coexist) you become so peaceful, so tolerant, so kind, and so serene. You will get to a place where you will be able to understand all things without even trying. A state beyond words.

GIVE UP ON BLAME!
Give up on your need to blame others for what you have or don’t have, for what you feel or don’t feel. Stop giving your powers away and start taking responsibility for your life.

GIVE UP YOUR NEED TO ALWAYS BE RIGHT!
There are so many of us who can’t stand the idea of being wrong – wanting to always be right – even at the risk of ending great relationships or causing a great deal of stress and pain, for us and for others. It’s just not worth it. Whenever you feel the ‘urgent’ need to jump into a fight over who is right and who is wrong, ask yourself this question: “Would I rather be right, or would I rather be kind?” Wayne Dyer. What difference will that make? Is your ego really that big?

GIVE UP THE LUXURY OF CRITICISM!
Give up your need to criticize things, events or people that are different than you. We are all different, yet we are all the same. We all want to be happy, we all want to love and be loved and we all want to be understood. We all want something, and something is wished by us all.

GIVE UP YOUR SELF-DEFEATING SELF-TALK.
Oh my. How many people are hurting themselves because of their negative, polluted and repetitive self-defeating mindset? Don’t believe everything that your mind is telling you – especially if it’s negative and self-defeating. You are better than that.

“The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive.”
-Eckhart Tolle

Something my brother and I are working on.

Give up your constant need to complain about those many, many, many things – people, situations, events that make you unhappy, sad & depressed. Nobody can make you unhappy, no situation can make you sad or miserable unless you allow it to. It’s not the situation that triggers those feelings in you, but how you choose to look at it. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking.

“I see the moon, the moon sees me
The moon sees somebody I want to see
God bless the moon and God bless me
And God bless the somebody I want to see.

It seems to me that God above
Created you for me to love
He picked you out from all the rest
To be the one that I loved best.”

Things have changed, oh yes they have. Ive lost touch with many people & have gotten close to a few. I do miss the old times, but they are just good memories now. The future seems bright because i trust in the Lord. My days are counted, he knows my beginning & my end, all i know is that whatever it is that he has in store for me, im excited to see. Things may get tough but no matter what God brings me to, he puts me through.
This past year has been quite the year.. its almost a year since Graduation. I look back & see how much things have changed. My family & i found the solution to better health & even a Business Opportunity, im working on my relationship with God & am focused on my personal growth as well. Ive accepted the fact that not everyone is going to want to be helped, but if they ever do, ill always be there.
Im thankful for the one person who has helped me get through so much this past year, hes not only helped me, but hes also been patient, respectful & understanding with the things ive said & done. Im so thankful for everything God has allowed me to have in my life. I will continue to work on my spiritual & personal growth & continue to spread His love to those in need of it as well.

God bless you all :)

I go through rough moments, but no matter what those moments are, they will never be big enough to tear me apart from the Glory of God & his love. Ive started my walk with the Lord & i want to tell the world how amazing he is! How many times have you heard someone regret giving their life to the Lord? No one. Its the best decision you’ll ever make. God loves you!

My random thoughts of the night. Goodnight & God bless!
