The Thing About Advice...

If I wasn't an unhappy or single individual and decided to give advice people would say "what do you know about unhappiness or being single" you are always happy.

If I was a single or unhappy individual and decided to give people advice people would say "what do you know about happiness or relationships, you're single and always moody."

Image result for AdviceGuess what: This is just human nature for dealing with our current life and situations. And a good reflection of why we should be mindful of whom we share and consult life's ups and downs with.  I have learned that attempting to rely on someone else to tell me how to make life work, leaves me desiring a new life to escape the dreaded realities of situations I am unable to resolve. I have had some bad advice and then I have had some really bad advice. I was constantly looking for someone else to validate me or make me better. Didn't stop to realize no one has that ability except for me. 

So, listen the choice to receive advice is always up to you. However, at the end of the day the best person to give advice about what's going on in your life and what you should do about it is YOU. You know every detail of the causes for your situation, and you have the ability to repair, renew, change and decide what works and won't work. Stop looking for validation and look in a mirror and speak life, happiness, prosperity and all that good stuff in and over your life.

Remember: Stop talking about it to the wrong people; spend more time praying about it to the one who is consistent, makes all things possible and changes every circumstance without a price tag (James 2:14-26).

Friendships

That's why there is such power in true friendships! "It’s natural to lose friends over time. People change. People move. All too often, few take their place." "We become known more by our titles, our accomplishments, or our kids. Increasingly we become known by what we do more than who we are." That's because today people don't know who we are...they only know / see what we do.   True friends know who you are (when the curtains are closed), they know who you can and will be and support your journey. They ask you the tough questions to push you. They correct you without fear of offending. They challenge you to take risks for your betterment and uplifting. They give you permission to be who you are, not less. They don't allow you to be stagnant. They encourage you to move forward and grow. They value you for who you are more than what you do. They help you reach new heights and your potential.  We don't get offended by their correcti

Get Started - Now!

Most of us go through life always giving up or never getting started on something, because we are waiting for the “time to be right” to start doing something worthwhile.  STOP WAITING! The time will never be “just right.” Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.

Truth about Patience…

Patience a virtue...?  This quote has helped change my understanding of patience: “Patience is not passive; on the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength.” ~Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton I was taught growing up that patience was a virtue (Galatians 5:22-23), but I was never taught why. Why was patience a virtue? Most people get it wrong; they believe that patience and waiting are the same thing. Well, that's not true. What does patience really mean? Patience has nothing to do with waiting. Patience is all about "working hard while waiting for the results." Patience is understanding that the only way to get to where you want to go is to do something without anticipation. In my experience, patience meant, I would miss out on something I desired. So, I became the hare in the race of my life and would fast track myself through career choices and opportunities and even relationships for fear that I would be forgotten and miss out on something (avoidance)
