Saturday Soul

Cheers to the freaking weekend, although I have only one more day and it's back to my 9-5. *sighs* I'm trying to really work on my thoughts, my habits, and my inner self. You realize that your thoughts really creates your day, it really determines everything about you. 

I'm hard on myself, always trying to figure out where I went wrong, what I need to do to be better, and what's my next step in life. You see life isn't about me only, it's about the people that surrounds me meaning my family, my friends, and just people I interact with. Staying positive and helping others helps you as a person. 

Isn't it crazy how we can have so many talents, so many ideas and dreams that at times our visions become blurred and our direction becomes detered. Trying to find your purpose takes lots of clarity, prayer, and time to self. 

We have to work hard even when we don't want to. You don't work, you don't eat. Push yourself everyday even when you don't want too, but don't burn yourself out. Little steps began to produce bigger results. Stay consistent :) 

On another note, check out this protective bun style I've been rocking! I am loving it! It's super quick and easy to achieve and I don't have to wake up everyday and do much. 

Find your happiness, let no one become superior of you!

Soulful Sunday: Your Isolation may be your Preparation

Happy Sunday Loves! Today I woke up and said I needed to go to church via web. I logged on to The Potters House website and watched Sarah Jakes Wednesday night message. It was her first time speaking at her father's church and I must say I was blown away. 

So, let's just get into my Soulful Sunday. At times we all feel like we are a mess, in a mess and don't know how to get out of the mess. We try to take control of our situations and think we are super hero enough to fix it on our own. At times we become isolated and feel as if it is our punishment because of the mess we caused. Guess what? Our isolation may just be preparation for us. It is preparing us to become better, preparing us for something bigger than ourselves, bigger than anything we have ever imagined. Stop viewing your isolation as a bad thing. As Sarah stated we soil our minds in this time when we think it is punishment, saying to ourselves " I caused this", and blaming yourself. Know that sometimes we are grounded to focus on our homework. It is a time to focus on you! Believe that whatever you may be going through is only preparing you! Let God Be in Control! It all will work out! Today we are going to Smile, Be Happy, and focus on our Preparation.
