Just read an interesting article in the essence magazine, online at
www.essence.com.
It was one of those inspiring... "in case you forgot your worth" type of articles but I like those a lot whether I am down or up or even just kinda lateral.
They key pieces of advice were:
create your own expectations ( follow your own road map for the journey that is this life)
be real (everyone makes mistakes what matters is whether or not, when and how we choose to bounce back from them)
stop with the negativity (both self-talk and self-sabotage as well as character assassination of friends enemies and/or strangers)
don't let your backbone slip: so you know what you are about what you want and how you are going to get to the point when you have realized your dreams? well good for you now just don't forget to put in the work and effort that is necessary for this success... I liked this part a lot , smile.
have faith: I suppose in you, God, the realization of your dreams this helps you give to life what can only be your unique contribution to the development of a positive environment. But then comes my best part of the whole article, the author said that we should " ...mine our own uniqe gifts" I thought this was awesome because---> hey miners only mine precious commodities or in other words, our uniqe gifts are our very own gems , precious jewels that after we mine we should treat accordingly.... well, gonna think on this some more. I could definitely take this thought process somewhere higher/deeper that's for sure!!! gonna have a great rest of my day
WOOHoo!!!!!
