Motivation for Perspective: Go Getter Monday

Sometimes, if we slow down to resist the urge of being angry, we can see the lesson or opportunity of protection with a situation.

Inconvenience can truly be the thing that happens that deters us from a long-term setback.

And while yes, momentarily it causes us a small discomfort, we live to move on from that moment and seek an alternative way to accomplish our task or goal.

So, don’t sweat the inconvenience. Don’t allow the moment to take you into a space of negativity and nastiness. Resist the urge to react to something that isn’t worth the energy it takes, to become someone you wouldn’t be proud to be 24/7.

This too shall pass…allow to happen with grace.

Each time you seek resolution and peace, you win. No matter how difficult it may be to not tell your side, choose the option that gets you to the “wrapping up” of the situation.

And while sometimes you think, naw, I gotta say this…umm, actually, you don’t.

If all you “have to say” is so someone knows they have you “messed up,” then you’ve lost, because you are voluntarily engaging with someone who has committed themselves to misunderstanding you and arguing with them only proves their perception.

I know it can be difficult to have others be inaccurate about you, but sometimes, that’s their role to play in our lives at that time.

If everyone treated us as if we were golden, imagine how complacent most of us would be. How relaxed we would become and comfortable being where we are.

Sometimes, that constant wrong point of view of us is forcing us to make changes to our surroundings so that we can get to our proper placement. Our tribe with like vibes.

So when you find yourself having to have hard conversations with people who you know are committed to misunderstanding you, view them for who they are: lit exit signs to show you this isn’t the last stop of your journey.

When we begin to view people, places, and things for what they truly are, we can begin to appreciate the lessons they show us.

Fix what you know you can. Allow what you can not fix to be handled through prayer and a positive attitude; help is on the way.

It’s always easy to do well when things are going well. The real test of your growth is when challenges arise. Are you quick to jump into a negative mindset, i.e., complain, be angry, avoid seeking resolutions, carry a bad mood throughout the day? If you are, then you have more work to do on recognizing your triggers AND being able to talk yourself off the ledge of repressive thinking.

Because in the moment, there is a voice of reasoning that comes in to hold us accountability for how we are placing energy and what we then do with that energy.

We can either allow circumstances to control how we react, or we take control of our emotions and thoughts, to respond in a way that allows us to maintain our composure.

So the next time you find yourself in a moment of tension, aggravation, stress, or conflict; take some time to feel it and then release it for a clearer mindset of what to do next. Reacting isn’t always necessary, but governing ourselves in a way to protect our growth is.

As always, make the best of what you have, yet be willing to create room for more.

Peace

The road to growth will be riddled with changes, some easy, some mild, and some major. However, the golden promise in them all is that, once you decide to maintain the course towards your better, you see each change for what they are: necessary moments to equip you in becoming exactly who you need to be. To obtain exactly what you are predestined to have.

Don’t fret the changes in people, places, and things, for it will distract you from what you are stepping into that is greater.

May you have a mentally healthy and vivacious day and week ahead.

The best time to do something is when you are attempting to talk yourself out of it. When you’re attempting to give yourself a later deadline and explain your reasoning.

It’s then when you begin to build an immunity of negative thoughts not only from yourself but from others as well.

Because when you get up and start, mid way through it, you’re gonna have another intruding thought in regards to stopping; its too hard, this hurts too much, I’m tired, this can wait. And yet again, you have to focus on the progress you’ve made thus far and push forward.

The thoughts we have within ourselves are pop quizzes when outside obstacles and situations out of our control come up against us to deter our quest for greatness. If we’re giving in now, surely we are meant for defeat when a much larger obstacle obscures our path!

Learn to know that what you’re working towards is worth the temporary discomfort. For this only lasts as long as this particular task does, then it is over. And that’s what you must remember this too shall pass. It’s not forever, so stop allowing your temporal uncomfortability to trick you into believing that narrative.

We are destined for great things. Great things take a commitment tho. So buckle down and slay those mental dragons by doing the work. Remember: obstacles only come when you’re doing things to improve your life, so take it as the compliment it’s truly meant to be.

Have an amazing week ahead, oh, and enjoy this great season of Pisces!

Motivation for Perspective: A series of daily inspiration

Ok HGH Gang, I am back as I stated for day 2 of sharing my pointers for daily motivational inspiration.

One thing that gets me just as focused as prayer, is MUSIC. I honestly don’t know what my life would be if it were void of music. Its what connects me to my inner thoughts and dreams, my emotions and sometimes even my fears.

I am careful about the music I choose to listen to due to the power of it all…

Now I won’t lie, you can catch me on some gansta type hip hop, but that’s usually when I’m really in party mode or its just been one of those days at work! You know the type of days I am referring to.

However for the most part, music inspires me creatively to focus on my part. To ask myself questions regarding my actions and expectations, and whether the two align. If I want certain results, are my actions helping to make those desired results possible?

And one of my favorite motivational artists would have to be Young Jeezy. May sound strange or odd to some, but a lot of his music has motivational undertones. He’s always encouraging you to do what’s best for you regardless of what others think and reminding us not everyone will be for you, but that’s why it is so vital we stand tall for ourselves.

Music is absolutely what you make it and hopefully each of you have artists or go to songs that help to encourage you to strive for excellence and be brave in pursuing your goals.

Who are some of the artists you like? I’d loved to check them out, so feel free to leave a comment below!

See you tomorrow, same time, same motivational energy.

Take comfort that despite not having everything, the Universe still saw fit to give you gems of good morals and values, a prayer life and a drive to never give up.

While we may yearn for our lives to be different or begun differently, the truth of it all is that we are chosen to be remarkable examples of how void can be filled through works of faith that a life of gratefulness can overcome so many things we have never experienced or yet to endure.

Be patient with yourself and allow yourself to feel your emotions, but don’t stay there too long; that is not where you belong.

You are a bright and shining star, uniquely made and oh so amazing! Don’t let the dimness of circumstances beyond your control, knock you off track.

Stay the course and remember loving yourself is a must, never a choice.

You are the love that you need.

With all that is occurring in our world; make sure you are taking care of your mental health.

Take breaks from social media and news outlets and focus on yourself, family and friends.

Read leisure peices about future travel plans or perhaps comic relief.

We all could utilize any advice that encourages us to seek balance and peace.

Get informed, but remember to not let that information over cloud your mind to the point of anxiety or fear.

It is my prayer that this week is filled with an abundance of opportunities for each of you and that you find yourself content with the path life is taking you in this present time.

Learn to accept the growth and not fight it with your own nearsighted expectations.

Let the miracle happen.

Until you show up for you, no one else will.

The more promises without action you give yourself, the more of the same you can expect from others.

This time around is about solidifying now for the future.

No more we’ll see, it has to be you making it what you deserve.

You want better?

Well my dear, do better!
