Valuable Lesson

Definition: Value - Ability to produce good; to see the importance of; to have respect for.

"Values are essential to effective leadership. They are the uncompromisable, undebatable truths that drive and direct behavior. They are motivational, giving us the reason why we do things; and they are restrictive, placing boundaries around behavior. Values are those things that we deem important and that provide direction and guidance in spite of our emotions."


Its been a little while since I've posted something. Mainly because I've been completely unmotivated, personally and professionally.  After an amazing month of bookings in December, during the holiday break, I slowly settled into being lazy and doing absolutely nothing.  Not a good look.  Especially being self-employed, I am pretty much responsible for every aspect of my career.  Hiring, Marketing, Promotion, Admin, Office Manager ... well you get the picture.  And well I've been more employed on the couch and in front of the tube being completely unproductive.

My career and personal life are in Phase 2.  I am definitely on another level as far as what I want out of both.  But Im not necessarily making the moves to make some of those things happen.  In realizing where I want to go next, during this time I realize that by me sitting around doing nothing, I am de-valuing myself.  Aside from my professional talent,  I have to realize also, what I can offer others outside of the business Im in.

I have helped numerous people in different ways, many in how to get in the business, be patient, stick with it and keep it going.  But GOD has blessed me with other talents that can help people beyond what they see on tv and in magazines.  I think somewhere along the way, my value got sucked into everything I was putting into my career and now, Im just feeling unfulfilled.

Don't get me wrong, I love what I do, but I want to be doing more for others.  So in my quest to get motivated, hyped, amped, pumped and getting back in the groove of my career, I will be looking into other ways I can utilize all of my valuable assets.  I've made efforts but haven't quite completed the task.  Slowly but surely, Im gaining momentum and getting back into the swing of things.  But honestly, there is no time to waste.  There is a trash can full of time wasted with my name on it.  Tomorrow is not promised, and I sure don't want to face GOD with any should've would've could'ves.

I don't want to regret NOT sharing ALL the gifts GOD has blessed me with.

Until Next Time: Remember ... What GOD gives us is not for us to hoard for ourselves.  It is meant to be shared so that our blessings can infect other's so that they too, may blessed.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

2012 has arrived and if you are reading this GOD has continue to breath life in you.  AMEN!  I just want to wish you all deliverance from any thing, situation or person that is allowing you to not fully see the glory of GOD and all HE wants for your life.

Don't be afraid to let go of people or situations that are toxic. Life is too short and we don't have much time on this earth to be tied to or tied down to things that keep us hostage to NONSENSE.

Don't let anyone dictate how you should live based on how they are living.  Who are they? But a human being with if not the same, different or more issues than you so you have to focus on getting you right so that ultimately, you can see the fullness of GOD's purposes for your life.

Live in Prayer, Love, Peace and Harmony.  It's OK if you have to let someone go. Doesn't mean you don't love them anymore. Doesn't mean you have any ill will toward them or wish them any harm.  It just means their purpose in your life has been fulfilled. GOD BLESS.

GOD truly exposed some situations and people to me that I simply cannot allow to keep around.  And I feel good knowing that it is GOD's doing, not mine.  After all, we can be selfish. But if GOD is leading you than you have no reason to feel guilty about your movement.  Pray and trust that GOD is taking care of that situation or person.

I am moving forward. What happened last year is yesterdays news. I pray that you have done or will do the same.  I wish you all prosperity, peace, love and abundance.  Strengthen your relationship with GOD and dwell in the Spirit.  I'm telling you the peace you gain is EXTRAORDINARY.  Some people won't understand it and they may even criticize you for it because they haven't reach that level of spiritual maturity yet.  But brothers and sisters, I pray that you do.  But don't get me wrong... I'm still a work in process.  It'll be a life-long process.

GOD IS SO AWESOME. HE has really blessed me more than words or actions can prove.  I really saw HIS hand in so many situations I dealt with this past year.  I see them more clearly now because of where I am spiritually.  You won't judge, you won't criticize, you won't even act a fool, because the spirit won't allow you to.  You just pray and trust.

So Until Next Time ... Move forward y'all ... don't bring that mess from last year into the New Year.
