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!

Inspiration 101: Yourself

Dear Self,

You've been great, you've made mistakes. Stumbled across obstacles and hardships, and jumped over hurdles and made accomplishments. Throughout everything you have endured, let your passion still burn inside of you. Add fuel to the fire each day to be a better you. I know that you have doubts, and fears but remember those things get you nowhere and only hold you stagnant to the negative thoughts that you penetrate. Everything you need is inside of you, you were equipped and packaged with the full line of favor so when you ever feel like you can't do it, just take a step back, take a deep breath and speak I CAN DO ALL THINGS through CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME... Only time that you began to look back at your past is to see how far you have come. Aren't your proud? Maybe you aren't where you want to be in life, but just wait you can be catapulted far beyond anything you have ever expected. Are you still working on your lifestyle, those dreams and talents you possess. Push yourself, there is no limits. Even if you feel alone know that someone out there is rooting for you. You are beautiful, driven, and I can't wait to see what the world has in store for you. Your friends think you are crazy but amazing, your family knows you too well, and your lover challenges you to be the best because they are your other half to make the whole. So as you go through today, SMILE BEAUTIFUL SOUL... The world awaits you! 

Sincerely,

Yourself.

Let's Talk: Empowerment

It's been awhile, the holidays had me very busy and now we are winding down 2013 to began our New Year. 

I was thinking about our career, dreams, the roles we play in our life and others and thought what if no one have us credit or acknowledged our achievements and positives? Would you stop doing those things that you loved, that helped someone or whatever it may be because you were overlooked? 

Often times people only remember the bad, they pick out our weaknesses and cover up on our strengths because of fear of the unknown, intimidation, and their own lack of vision. You put in your all to be the best person, to grow in all areas of your life, and to change who you were to who you want to become. Maybe you feel as if no one notices how much you are working on oneself, your career or the things that you want out of life but know that it's someone rooting for you, they see your full potential and the ones that can't, don't let that get you down. Embrace who is there for you! Even if it feels like no one gives you credit for pushing towards your goals give yourself credit, it all starts with YOU!
