There are moments when we are so overwhelmed with negativity that we tend to see the world as bleak and the universe unforgiving. There are also times when we take some of our blessings for granted because we’re focused on the things we’re yet to have. It’s okay to feel these emotions. They are valid, but it’s best not to have them as a recurring theme in your mind. Rather, what we should aim for is having a generally positive outlook towards life. And one of the best ways to do that is to appreciate the good things that life has to offer.

Why count your blessings

It’s easy to say but the implementation may be tricky. Having a grateful mindset...

The past month, I noticed a few people from my past showed up. So I thought, "how weird is that". What message is the universe trying to send out to me? I could not make sense of the events that were happening from one person, to the next and the one after that. I was surprised, so I reacted with partial anger and partial bliss.

Does this happen to you too, out of the blue someone from your past shows up? How does it make you feel? I know when you take years, and days and hours to work on your personal development, the last thing you want is to see your past showing up waving at you as if everything was the same.

Sigh...

So! do you think that it is best to leave the past stories archived?...

I remember when we were asked to stay home on a lockdown. And we were told not to go out, be around large crowds and even around some friends and families. Everyone started to panic. Well! I was one of those people too. There was a rush of uncertainty because no one knew at that time if they were going to lose their jobs, have a sane lifestyle at home and many more. And oh boy! for those parents it was the end of the world. 

Wait! What? Who is going to teach my child? I don't know anything about curriculum. Is the Mayor crazy? Where are the teachers?

And Boom...Chakalaka: ) Many of the states that never had remote learning, home schooling in their curriculum had...

Who is in your circle?

A couple of weekends ago, this light bulb started to flicker on top of my head. I call it the "right-thinking bulb". I asked myself this question: "who is in my circle?"

It all started with this thought! for a couple of years now, I could not understand how someone would say I care, I love and/or I am there for you but once you have a tantrum, you say I need time off, it becomes "holy saint it is about time!" as if they could not wait for you to say these words. Sometimes the behaviors we display can harm us tremendously.

I realized one thing,  the people you call family is never your true family. They are not blood-related, they are the people who accept you...

How do you feel when there is that inner voice redirecting every decision you made?
The misconceptions are exactly that. They are the negative thoughts that are processing in our heads telling us what not to do.
DON'T you find it a "buzz kill" when you have that big idea, then out of the blue come the negative thoughts and that little devil voice telling you "but you can't do it"?
Now you realized that you are standing between your goals and your roadblocks (#Misconceptions).

We all have gone through that; when you say to yourself that you want to find your happy place. To find something that brings you joy. to invest in your education, or buy yourself something valuable and memorable. And...

Patience...

I know exactly what you are saying to yourself, where has she been? I have been there the whole time. I have been there creating content to help you find yourself.  Do you know that sometimes it is best to stand still in order to see clarity?

For some days, I had to stand still. I had to change a few things in my thinking, and shift things around me for the better. I engaged in the process of being patient. It was in that process that I begin to understand that patience is the skill we must develop if we want to be present, be a great listener to someone else and be an empowering soul to help others in their breakdown and breakthroughs.
