Invest in YOU!

I have been preparing for my Workshop for the past 3+ weeks and as daunting as it is I have this urgency in my spirit and I also have a sense of sadness, we live in this beautiful country South Africa and we have so much potential inside of us all, and you know what saddens me this next thought: You do not feel it in yourself that you are worth YOU investing in yourself, how sad is that? You and I live years of our lives "dreaming", "daydreaming" and yet you and I never put our goals on paper, we put off everything that we can achieve today for tomorrow!

Today is a NEW day what will it take for you to take a bold step towards your goals? What is in your control to do? Find that answer and DO IT with ALL your might!!

I leave you with this thought /question: If you don't invest in yourself, how can you expect others to invest in you?

Now you may be asking "what is investing in myself entail?" "what is it all about?" "What do I have to do?" "how do I invest in myself?"

Let me break it down for you:
To invest in yourself simply means to build yourself as a person by:

1. Reading, what interests you? Find books and start there
2. If you don't like number 1 then read online, if the internet is accessible to you
3. Find out about Workshops that will help you understand yourself better and attend those Workshops, if you do your research properly you will find there are even FREE ones to attend or ones that are low cost
4. STOP!! STOP!! Selling yourself short
5. When you aspire to something and you pour your heart and soul into it, it will happen however you must DECIDE TODAY, if you are worth ALL your dreams coming true
6. Get OUT of your own way and be gracious to yourself
7. Model someone who has done it before you and study that person and do what they have done with your own flair!!
8. Believe if yourself, know that you CAN!!
9. Read the Bible more or Spiritual guidance stuff
10. Accept yourself for who you are, where you are at and GO after your dreams!

Have a PRODUCTIVE day and make someone SMILE, start with yourself!!! Attitudes are contagious make yours worth CATCHING!

We are so used to...

We are so used to allowing our current circumstances consume us, we lament we groan and moan and we are often so confused as to what the next step must be that we should take.  The groaning and moaning of How unfair this is, Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?  Etc and we find people to complain to but we do nothing about our situations. We then use our situations to fall in abuse of substances and we even turn to other things we never thought we were capable of…because we are so vulnerable and the enemy will use that vulnerability to his advantage. We worry about what this one is going to say. How is it going to look to others? I won’t be able to do this and that? My question to you is, can you afford not to walk away? These are the thoughts that keep us captive. In Hosea 4:6 God reminds us that my people perish through lack of knowledge. So surely when you know better you should do better, right? Look we are all at different spaces in our lives but ...

It's OKAY not be OKAY...

TODAY is one of those days I don't allow myself to have many of... A day where I am extremely emotional and teary and life seems to have gotten the better of me just for today. I don't tend to dwell on my negatives I am known to be the optimistic one and always positive however today I am far from that.

I am very much aware of my surroundings and giving myself this space to just process every disappointment and whatever else I am dealing with. A close friend and mentor of mine told me a few months ago that I should learn to unpack things as they happen and not bottle it all up and then I explode when things just get too much. As a mother, wife and whatever else I am to whoever it all just got too much. Have you ever gotten to a point where you question "Why?"   "Why do I even bother talking non stop with my k...

No one is always busy...

Such truth in this picture. I saw this picture message on a page I follow on Facebook and it made me think and reflect and I shared it on my page but I didn't elaborate at the time because I was still filled with negative emotions. Then this morning a friend of mine shared it on her page and these are my thoughts about this and I am referring to friendships/relationships with family and just relationships in general. So please allow me to express myself.. What is most difficult to comprehend is that we allow people to have so much space in our lives and they give so little of their time to us...It hurts immensely when you know how committed you are to certain friendships/relationships and you get absolutely the bare minimum and that fact is what is making me walk away from many. Zainonesha had this to say about it " So true...then one has to settle with lame excuses as if our lives are depending on it. Be Honest I would say" Yes I understand that we are all in dif...
