Bitch Get Your Mind Right!

Make you say unnnnnnhhhh! I never understood why Master P named his company No Limit Records... I looked up this song because the mantra "Bitch, get your mind right!" The words telling you they are "no limit soldiers, I thought I told you." Two things: They are claiming no limits to the level of success they could attain...and second, they telling you they spoke that shit into existence.

What are your limits? Why? Don't create any limitations, just start taking steps towards what it is you really really desire. Be a no limit soldier and speak into existence what it is what you desire. And be sure to speak in present tense. For example,

I am wealthy. I am a successful business owner.
I am the most after motivational speaker.
I am impacting a billion peoples minds, lives, and bank accounts.
I am healing.
I am perseverance.
I am the person I desire to come.

 ... And so it is! Affirmations and mirror work are major when it comes to transformations, reprogramming your subconscious mind and laying the mental and emotional groundwork for success. If you are new to the practices, they may feel funny-akward at first. With the right client (meaning the open, receptive type), I tell them to take mirror work a step further by standing in their best superhero pose while stating affirmations. They don't call it transformations for the hell of it. You will literally feel like you went from being a little yellow car to a super powerful autobot.

So, I hope you listen to the song and get hype, ignore all the thug talk, unless you feelin gangsta, lol. The moral of the story is get yor mind right friends. The next level of success awaits!

Be Happy. Be Healthy. Be You!

I'm Baaaaack!

I know it's been a while, but sometimes we have to step back from the drawing board to make sure we are creating that which we desire.... OR we just fell off track, did a little back-sliding, or declared a break. In my time away I have grown tremendously as person and business owner. The opportunities that were presenting themselves to me were the very kind I said I was looking for. But guess what I did? I ran and hid under a pile of excuses, good reasons and fuckery. What can I say? I am a spirit having a human experience. And lately I have been feeling like I am having a caterpillar-cocoon experience awaiting to bust out my wings and take flight.


Have you been feeling that way too? Like your current reality (or should I say illusion of reality) doesn't really represent what's going on with you. Do any you feel like you know something major is about to pop off? Almost like you don't know what, but you do because you know what you have been hoping and praying for. You know what you have been believing and trusting the law of the Universe for. It can feel confusing and comforting at the same time. Friends let me share this: Your breakdown and breakthrough points are very close in proximity. It can be likened to the difference between sleep and meditation. Are you going to slip into slumber, or are you going to remain conscious gaining higher awareness? Are you going to buckle under pressure or are you going align with the fact that pressure forms diamonds and pearls. Or are you going to remember that fire burns the dross off, purifying the silver? Are you glitter that can be shaken off? Or have you recognized that you gold.

One of my nicknames is Golden Lady. As I type this blog, it has more meaning and value than ever. I AM golden. I AM gold. I AM solid. I have withstood the fire. I AM on fire! Everything I touch turns to gold. I AM the person I desire to become. I AM taking flight! I AM capable. I AM worthy. I AM a champion! I AM enough! I AM confident. I AM certain. I AM deserving of what I desire. I AM transformed. I AM brand new! I AM possible! I AM that I AM. I AM fulfilling my destiny!

Now let's go create the day and life we desire and deserve. I love you! I believe in you. No matter what someone thinks or says, no matter where we have been and done... I believe that we will win!

Be Happy. Be Healthy. Be You!

Are You Committed???

Are You Committed???

             

First thing I learned in network marketing is that you must be committed and coachable. Network marketing taught me lots about business in general, but that was the most important element. Business is not always about who can do what the best, but it is about who can last. 

There lots of smart and talented people out there who are not successful...at least not according to the people around them. Please believe I know. My family and even guys Ive dated felt like "You're smart. Why don't you just go get a job like a normal person?" First of all, I will NEVER be normal. Second I believe I am unemployable. Not that it is beneath me to work for someone, but there is a God above me who has planted visions in me. I am not here to live my life to appease those around me. To my ex who said, "Just go get a job making 60k a year," I can't get rich making 60k a year, not enough commas dear. More importantly like him, I would not have the time to invest in my dreams because I will be busy busting my ass to make someone else's dreams a reality. No deal!

See the thing is I ... I AM COMMITTED TO ME! I am committed to what I desire and believe about myself. I am committed to seeing my dreams through. I am committed to my goals. Thank God I chose the perfect parents for my journey. I spoke to my father recently and was reminded that I was doing well. He said that everything I have been working towards, believing in is in the making. All the experiences and the experience I have is coming together. He was proud that I have stayed the course. Hearing that gave me some reprieve, just like when I read Business of the 21st Century.

Robert Kiyosaki and his wife lived out of their car and some more. Their "people" didn't understand either. They couldn't comprehend to two talented, educated individuals not living the American dream. If you ask me the American dream is for suckers. They tell us to go to school, get good grades and go to college. When we get to college you are forced one to pick one area, that probably won't have anything to do with what actually have a career in. Then you graduate owing some mystery lady named Sallie Mae thousands of dollars, that most of us never pay off. That's a real commitment huh?

Listen folks, entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. It's not one of those things you feel like doing. We have to be committed no matter how we feel. We have to be committed when the sun don't shine and be grateful for rainy days. We have to be willing to look, feel and sound silly to others. You have to be ready to face rejection, over and over and over....and over again. We have to be willing to hear no and say no. We have to challenge, support and encourage ourselves. We have to keep pushing when our team doesn't, when our team gives up, gives in or quits. Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do, long after the mood you said it in has left.

If you are reading this chances are, you know the struggle. If you have't witnessed your world seemingly turn upside down, you will. Stay the course my friends! Winners never quit, quitters never win. So there is only one thing left to say. Are you committed??? 

Be committed. Be happy. Be healthy. Be You!

Excuse Me, What's My Motivation?

Excuse Me, What's My Motivation?

I sometimes have days where I think Who's going to motivate me? Who's supposed to motivate the motivator? I found the answer in an interview with Robert Danzig, where he asked the same question. The answer he received, "You do, or you'll never be a leader."

I remember a gospel song that said to encourage yourself. Those words brought me through many hard, lonely times in life. I grew up in an environment where I learned to be independent, fast. I'm grateful for the trying experiences that yielded a survivor. Reminding myself that I've gotten through 100% of my days, it may feel more like 98%. But I'm here now, evidence I made it through.

You will survive whatever situation you are facing. The Bible says to count it all joy because Universe is methodically providing the lessons and exercises needed to manifest your deepest desires and dreams. You got this. You are capable. You are enough. You were built for this.

Now get yourself together! Put on your big boy pants and big girl shoes. Go spend a minute in the mirror telling you how awesome you are. Tell yourself what you expect and that you deserve it. You deserve whatever your heart desires. What you desire, desires you.

Now, watch this video, because its funny and will make you smile. It's the motivation behind the title of this blog... And I have quoted this commercial since it came out in the 2000's. 

I love and believe in you. I believe that we will win!

Be Happy. Be Healthy. Be You!

DIY: How To Use The Law Of Attraction

Dear Mimi,First, I want to tell you that your work is really motivating and changing mindsets. Thank you. Now I don’t want to sound stupid, but what exactly is the law of attraction? 

Curious Georgette -Los Angeles, CA 

Great question! I am glad the question asked; someone else is probably wondering the same thing . I know I mention law of attraction, LOA for short, quite often. Today we’ll talk about briefly what the law is and share 5 easy steps to use the law of attraction. 

The law of attraction is simply states that like attracts like. Thats's probably why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer right? Right. Whatever we concentrate our focus, or energy is what becomes manifest. The person that focuses on their abundance, tends to experience more abundant opportunities and experiences. The person who looks at life from the perception of lack, generally attract more lack, bills and negative experience. The Universe gives us what we expect. Us, westerners are more familiar with the term karma, what goes around, comes around, you get what you give, reap what you sew, etcetera. Basically the same premise. So forget about trying to clearly define it, let's talk about how to use this real, and very effective tool to create the life experience we desire. I found this handy-dandy little chart that spells it out pretty good. 

First you must decide what it is you truly desire. Form a clear picture as detailed as possible. I am sure you have had enough experiences to figure out what you do and don't want. My post Confusion Brings Clarity talks about that more. 

Now you know what you want, go ahead...ask for it. Don't be timid about what your heart desires. Don't care what anyone else cares, thinks or says. This is your life dammit. You can dream as big and wide as you want. Kanye West's lyrics come to mind often," If I always pray to have gleam on $300 jeans on, do that mean I dream wrong? " NO! Absolutely not. I did a talk once entitled "Honda Dreams" explaining that some people just have dreams of drving a Honda, while there those of us who desire Benz or better. To each his own. 

Ok, we know what we want and we asked for it, next we have to feel it. How will you feel when your desired outcome shows up? Focus on that feeling, nothing else, no doubt, no potential pitfalls, no haters, no nothing that does not feel good. Got that? Good. 

The next step is to offer gratitude to your God or higher power. Offer thanks in advanced. Just how you order your food at McD's, pay the cashier and say thank you, trusting that your food will be delivered. It's that simple! 

Lastly, trust the process. Trust your God. Trust the laws of the Universe to methodically serve you your highest, greatest good. However, do NOT be attached to the outcome. Also, don't try to control the situation or manipulate energy to bend your way. Source Energy got this boo! I often ask people if you wanna do everything, what is there left for God to do? 

Alright lovebugs, we have a plan. Let's follow it and see what materializes. I love to hear from you all. Feel free to email me your questions or results. In the meantime and between time, you know I love you. I believe in you. I believe that we will win!

Be Happy. Be Healthy. Be You!

BEST COUPLE EVER: Love & Money

The simplest form of the law of attraction is get happy, get laid and paid. Napoleon Hill wrote "The emotion of love, in the human heart and brain, creates a favorable field of magnetic attraction, which causes an influx of the higher and finer vibrations..." Two things that most people desire in life are love and money. 

The Bible taught me that a man who finds a wife, finds favor with God. (Prov 18:22) Im sure Abraham Lincoln would agree with that. His career didn't take thought until he met the love of his life, Ann Rutledge. Come to think of it, have we ever had a president that wasn't married? I don't know any successful CEO who is not married, even if it is just on paper. No empire is complete without a empress. I believe no empire can be built without a mastermind team, usually husband and wife. There is no President Obama without Michelle. Without mentioning Bonnie, who is Clyde? I don't discriminate. Success is success.  Attend any banquet where a man is being honored and I bet 95% will give credit to their wives.

Money and Love go together like peanut butter and jelly. Either a man has to get money with me, give it to me or put me in position to get it. I've always said is romance without finance is nonsense.We all know that money troubles are the biggest burden on any relationship, especially a marriage. Suntrust did a survey which revealed that 35 percent of the people surveyed admitted that money was the cause of their relationship stress. I do not care to be apart of that group.

I am more of a Happily Ever After kinda a gal. I believe in fairytales. I believe in the law of attraction. However, I will confess when I used to think I had to make a choice. Either have the career of my dreams and make a whole lot of money or have a man. I figured my being an A-type woman, I am already intimidating enough as it is. If I'm caked up, men would shy from me even more. I imagined that my personality would be amplified and I'd become one those women who feel like they don't need a man. I can have, will have, and must have the money and man.

One last thing, in my research I learned that way we treat money is usually how we treat our boo. With both money and people our relationships are emotional. Which brings us back to the law of attraction that teaches us to that being positive vibration, feeling good about that which we desire, allows it come. We'll talk more about the law of attraction later.

In the meantime and in between time, be happy, be healthy, be you! I LOVE YOU!

Wish You Had More Confidence?

You ever seen one those people who obviously incapable, but has the position? No wait, the big ugly guy with the super model wife? Or what about the thot that has that kangaroo pouch hanging from under the crop top? For real, real... What about that business that doesn't know WTH they are doing, but getting paid top dollar? What's up with that? You know what all these people have in common? Simply said. CONFIDENCE.

 

I'll never forget the young lady who inspired the entrepreneur in me to come out hibernation. I'm at this empowerment workshop in Tampa, FL. Standing at the front of the room is the enterprising woman wearing the most ridiculous outfit, forgive me for judging, who didn't know much. I had the answer to every question she asked us, but she couldn't answer the one question I had for her. Really? I sat there and asked myself "what's the difference between she and I? Why was she leading the workshop instead of me? I knew more!" It didn't take long for me to figure out that she had that secret weapon most successful people possess, CONFIDENCE. However, by the end of the session, the other attendees were asking for my card instead of hers. Oops... I took like it was a booster shot of confidence and started my holdings company and opened an online resale shop. Yay me... but after a while that shot wore off. 

I want that ugly dude from high school who had no problem approaching the most popular girls and who continues to be just as certain 20 years later sending Facebook messages. lol But for real guys, it is confidence that may be standing between where you are and where you want to be. If you don't have high self-esteem and confidence, fake it til you make it. Hell yeah! Pretend you are wearing an S on your chest under that shirt or blouse! I dare you to go stand in the mirror with your hand on your hips, chest puffed up and out, with that super hero stance. Y'all know what Im talkin about. Un-huh. 

Mock the behaviors or verbiage of the most confident person you know, not the cocky asshole, who gets his way, but nobody's happy about it. Listen to some confidence affirmations and meditations. As matter of fact say your own affirmations in the mirror while you are doing your super-You pose. 

I am CONFIDENT. I am certain I am a champion. I am a winner. I am confidence. I am ambition. I am a rockstar. I am a badass. I am successful. I am powerful. I am the best. I am perseverance. I am fearless. I am courage. I am bravery. I am wonderfully and fearfully made. I am all that and a bag of chips! I AM CONFIDENT!

I love you. I believe in you! Be Happy. Be Healthy. Be You!

TBT: A Nut A Day Will Keep The Dr Away

In honor of Throw Back Thursday, I'm bringing back one favorite post. This one of my original blogging days post. It has been revised slightly. Ironically I was practicing the celibacy at that time, but I was curious of the effects of not having sex. Anyways, enough about me, hope you enjoy the post! Give me feedback and share it using the buttons below if you likey.

You know the old saying "an apple a day, keeps the doctor?" Well I say bustin' a nut* a day will keep the doctor away. Have you ever realized how chipper a person is after having sex, especially when its been a while. Think about that movie Deliver Us From Eva, Eva was a new woman! Wonder why?

WebMD.com list "10 Surprising Health Benefits of Sex:"

1. Sex Relieves Stress
2. Sex Boosts Immunity
3. Sex Burns Calories
4. Sex Improves Cardiovascular Health
5. Sex Boosts Self-Esteem
6. Sex Improves Intimacy
7. Sex Reduces Pain
8. Sex Reduces Prostate Cancer Risk
9. Sex Strengthens Pelvic Floor Muscles
10. Sex Helps You Sleep Better

Me personally, when I had great sexin', I was happier and my body looked grrrrreat! With less than, I have a less than friendly demeanor and less curves. Im a slim sister who appreciates her coco-cola slim shape.

I wrote a poem once that said that "I've come to a point where sex is of nature, no longer of sin." Sex is as natural as the bird and bees. And come to find out we are not the only mammals who have sex for recreation and re-creation. Yeah, dolphins make whoopy for the phuck of it too, no pun intended.
Now this does not mean, by any means, go out there and start screwing random people because Mimi said "a nut a day will keep the doctor away." You may end up getting very acquainted with the doctor in the case that you are not making safe decisions. If you are married or in a monogamous relationship, then get your workout on!

There is nothing left to say. Ladies practice your Kegel exercises and keep it fresh. Fellas wash the family jewels just ONE MO TIME! Your lady or man friend (gotta be p.c.) will thank you! Any questions get at me... In the meantime and in between time, be happy, be healthy, be you!

I LOVE YOU today and always!

*bustin a nut means to have an orgasm.

Whatcha Doin In The Morning?

Are you the type of person that get's up before the chickens or are you like the other half of the worls that hits the snooze button 5 times at least? I'll have to be honest ordinarily I am in the first half, but lately I have been sleeping in past the masses.


My morning routine seems like it makes or breaks my day at times. One thing I do know for sure is a a healthy morning routine is the pathway to success. Very often my mobile device stays on "Do Not Disturb" until noon. Which means I ain't taking calls or texts, Im not available. And in the slight chance you encounter me before the culmination of my morning devotion, you will soon regret it. I get big and green, if you know what I mean.

Number one question I am asked it "What are you doing all that time?" While I am thinking "all what time? I need more!" Thats just my cut off time where I force myself to deal with the outside world.

So what does this morning routine consists of?

- qi gong

- a glass of water (or ACV tonic) 

- meditation 

- yoga 

- walk/run

- journaling

- reading

- visualization

None of the above ingredients have to be completed in a certain order. And in future post I will go into each. And if you have questions about any of the above mentioned concepts, send me a message. In the meantime and in between time stay focused on what feels good to you. I love you! I believe in you! I believe that we will win!

Be Happy. Be Healthy. Be you.

Feel Like You Need A Breakthrough Before You Breakdown?

Feeling like your about to have a meltdown? Hell, sometimes me too! Imagine the scenario…I just received news that rent is being raised and/or I gotta move by the end of the month. And I have less than $25 in my bank account. I say to myself Shift Happens and I gotta find the toothpaste, my ride is en route. My business partner pulls up with a nail in the tire. It’s not even noon, in which we have an important meeting scheduled. As a matter of fact it was 11:06! 

Great, like we can get to a tire shop, and out, with time to spare to arrive on time to the meeting. I believe that early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable. Ok, I called to postpone the meeting no problem, off to the tire shop. 

The tire wasn’t pluggable, but we were blessed for the tire man giving us a deal. We agree that this is just the Universe trying us and are ready to get this show on the road, we run out of gas before we can pull off. Really? Luckily, it was because it was because we were parked sideways on an incline. So the sweet young tire man pushes us onto level ground; the car starts. There is a God. And what I had to remind the both us of, is that the Universe is only conditioning us, testing our resolve. And anytime shit gets real crazy, something amazing happens. That’s exactly what I was expecting to happen next.

Oh something amazing happen alright. We pull up in the parking lot of the building where the meeting is and coffee spills in my seat, on the ass, down the thigh, of my white seersuckers. Come on Universe! I am expecting a day to wow me, but not like this. I was thinking something more positive, sheesh.  

I had been reading the Scroll Marked III, from the Greatest Salesman In The World by Og Mandino. Life transforming book! Mandino tells about how in the Orient young bulls are tested by putting them in the ring with a picador, who is ready to poke them with a lance. He instructs readers to be lions, not sheep waiting to be prodded by the shepherd. Well, I was feeling poked, prodded and put to the test!  I had to channel the inner bull spirit and prepare to be charge again despite the sting of life's blade. I am a lion. I will not walk, talk or sleep with sheep. I will persist. I will win! 

Just at the moment when you are ready to call it quits, can be the moment that brings your breakthrough so don’t give up. Do not get weary in well doing. Always remember that every obstacle comes with the opportunity to become greater, wiser, stronger and more than what you were prior to the lesson. Smile in the face of adversity knowing it is Source Energy’s way of molding you into what you have expressed desire to be and to have. We are not alone in our battle against adversity. Everyone is fighting some battle. Take courage my friends. This is all for your greatest good. And if you're wondering what did I do about my iced coffee butt, I tied a sweater around my waist, put on my bright red lipstick and said 

I AM a champion. I AM a winner. I AM successful at whatever I attempt. I AM abundant. I AM FEARLESS. I AM landing this deal with ease. I am trusting the Laws of the Universe to serve me my greatest good. I AM deserving of what I desire. I AM love. I AM all powerful. I am all that and a bag of chips! I am intelligent. I am charismatic. I am a game-changer. I am the best entertainment marketing specialist.  I AM perfectly created. I AM capable. I am prosperous. I AM a money magnet. I AM THAT I AM!

And so it is. I love you. I believe in you. Be Happy. Be Healthy. Be You!

DIY: How To Be A Great Leader

Do you consider yourself a leader? Well if you are not sure there are two precepts that preclude a leader. One a leader must have followers, but more importantly a leader must be able to lead themselves. If you can't lead yourself, how could you lead others. Today, we will use Dr. Ray Russell's Personal Leadership Model.

Dr. Russell interviewed 200 people to piece together this 5 point model. The first step is to create a personal mission statement. What is your vision? Read my blog "Your Vision Needs Clarity" for more that subject. A business or people without vision will perish. This is what you deem as your purpose in life.

Now that we have a mission statement , we will continue on treating our selves as a business and write out a personal business plan. Don't panic, this can be easy. Lets write out a list of 5 to 10 things we desire, intellectually,  physically, spiritually, and of course, financially. Under each goal determine 3 or 4 steps that can propel you in that direction.

Ok, so we know why here, what we came to do, now we need the energy to make it happen. We have to develop personal energy. My morning begins with qi qong, meditation, journaling, reading, yoga and a walk/run, drinking plenty of water. I do all this to build my mental, physical and spiritual energy up for the day. I recommend eating balanced meals including plenty of raw foods and vegetables. Having all your dreams come true won't do you any good if you have no energy.

The fourth point in the Personal Leadership Model is exercising personal empowerment. It is über important that you love what you do. In addition we need to have performance empowerment, being able to the get the job done, and interactive empowerment, being able get along with others. We have all seen it. Its that guy who knows his stuff, but can't carry a decent conversation when the meeting is over. Or how about the charismatic guy who everybody loves, but we all know he's not going produce real results. Being an effective leader definitely requires strong interpersonal skills.

To bring it all full circle is the final principle of leading by example. Just like with children that "do as I say, not as I do" is a bunch of bologna. We leaders have to thoroughly model our high level of standard to exemplify what we expect from those around us.  Furthermore, a true leader produces other leaders.

Leadership skills is what I believe is required to take person from S-quadrant, self-employed/small business owner, to the the business owner in the B-quadrant. You must be able to do duplicate yourself and delegate, otherwise business will not operate when you are not present. If you are anything like me you are working your way to being an Investor, handling business from from your yacht. I believe that we will win!

Be Happy. Be Healthy.  Be You!

BREAKING NEWS: It's Okay To Be Choosey

I work at pleasin' me cause I can't please you

and that's why I do what I do

My soul flies free like a willow tree

doo wee doo wee 

-Erykah Badu

There is some place in our life where we were taught not to discriminate against other people. However we were told to judge a man "by the content of his character. " As an entrepreneur it is pertinent to be selective of the people and projects you align with. 

 Every person you surround yourself with is both a reflection and contributor to who you are. That why it is believed that birds of a feather flock together. The simplest form of the Law of Attraction is like attracts like. Now if you think for a second you are not like the people you associate with, wait a few minutes and you will begin to see the resemblance. Since I was teenager I have said "you hang around garbage you will stink like trash." Inevitably the people and situations we involve ourselves will affect the results we yield, or produce.

Take inventory of who is in your circle. Don't be afraid to recognize who and what situations no longer serve you. Furthermore, take the courage to eliminate or dissociate. In the journey of entrepreneurship you will have to separate yourself from friends, long standing business partners, and sometimes family. The great teacher, Jesus, warns us that "A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home." So PLEASE STOP expecting your  people to support you. The Universe will methodically connect you with the proper resources to manifest your desire.

I like to surround myself with people who doing what I desire to do, not what Im doing and definitely what I used to do. And it healthy to be around genuine people, forget the ass kissers and brown-nosers. I don't need a pat on the back when I'm not living up to my potential; I would prefer a kick in the ass. Me and tribe keep it one hundred because we know we desire to be greater. Real friends and business partners will challenge you to exercise your power of potential to have wishes fulfilled, goals accomplished, mission complete.

I encourage you to find some new people to add to your tribe. Attend networking events, become a member of an industry related organization. Hell, go pop a squat at a local bar and see who and what you come across.

Here's the real challenge: make it your business to meet at least one new person per week. If you are the type of person who frequents social settings, add one a day. If you wanna be an A+ student, get your new contact's information and reach out to them within the following 24 hours. Think you can handle that? Never-mind, don't think about it, JUST DO IT!

DIY: How to Meditate for Beginners

I'm like Russell Simmons, I don't do shit until I have meditated, plus I journal read and exercise. Please believe nobody wants to encounter me prior. (Hell, I don't want to encounter myself before any of that. So today I'd like to make meditation as easy to understand and to practice. We'll focus more than practice. Meditation can sound complicated, but it's not. It does NOT require you to sit in a full lotus position or to stand or your head.

 I'll keep as simple as possible.Find a place where you can be undisturbed for the next 20 minutes. Sit with your back straight or lie down with palms facing up. I generally connect my pointer finger and thumb together, gyan mudra, but we will go in depth on another day. Close your eyes or lower them to a soft gaze. Start focusing on your breath, how it flows in and out. Then begin to control your breath, inhaling four (4) counts and exhaling four counts, pulling the air through the nostrils down to your diaphragm, your lower belly not your chest. When you wonder back into your thoughts, go back to your breath. (Please believe you will drift off back into your thoughts, return to your breath.)

Your thoughts will automatically subside, after a few conscious breaths. In the beginning you may get an influx or rush of thoughts and emotions pour in. Be gentle with your self, don't get flustered. Go back to your breath. Spend about 10 minutes in this position. You will notice all of a sudden you mind gets quieter. AND you will notice that you can hear the thoughts as if you are separate from your thoughts, BECAUSE YOU ARE! Now, I won't go any further in this post. Go sit your butt down and get to breathing!

I LOVE YOU! Be Happy. Be Healthy. Be You!

Shift Happens...

Shit happens so shift happens is what Ive heard... I can agree. The Universe has this methodical way of letting shit happen to shift our ass into gear. So instead of whining and complaining about your situation, find the "value in the valley. Napoleon Hill says with "every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit." And if you have been to a Christian Church enough times or actually have read the Bible you have heard the scripture "count it all joy." When I tell people to count their trials and tribulations as joy, they tend to look confused... Then that's when I whip out that Wayne Dyer "if you're irritated by every rub, how will you ever become polished?" That usually puts things in perspective and they smile.

I have to remind myself of this same ideology, on the regular. The best is when someone doesn't like the not-so-positive response from me. And that's when get a lesson on yin and yang, the balance between darkness and light, or more popular taking the good with the bad. Rain makes us appreciate sunny days more (unless you're a farmer). Likewise success without struggle has little value.

If your desire is to become mad successful, you may need to know that nobody wants to hear a story of someone going from good to great, from mountain top to mountain top. Noooooooo, we like those rags to riches story. We adhere to those "I was sleeping in my car homeless for years" kind of success stories. Because I know I will have success beyond my imagination, I just say "it's all apart of the movie." Then I correct myself, movie series. My story will be one those Netflix-binge-watching series. If you don't believe....just watch! Today I am including a link to a sermon I heard a few years ago from one of the greatest speakers/teachers I have come across. Hope it speaks to your situation and to your Spirit.

I Know You Hear Me, But Are You Listening???

I am notorious for walking around with headphones in with no sound coming through them. Why? Because I am not trying hear anything that does not feed my mind positive nutrition. I am not subscribing to the kool-aid! It works too. People think I can't hear them; they are partially right. I can hear, but I will allow them to think I can't so I don't have to listen. So today let's discover the difference between hearing and listening. 

Hearing is your ears recognizing noises. It takes no effort, it's involuntary, meaning it happens whether we want to or not. We accidentally hear stuff we're not "supposed" to hear... And then we start listening. Do you know the difference???

Listening my friends, is taking those noises that your ears recognized and decoding the message. Decoding is the conscious processing of the sounds and making sense of what was heard. However, that is only the beginning of listening.

I'd like to go more in depth on this listening subject. Introducing to some and presenting to others: Active Listening. As an educator, I tell my students to listen with their whole body, not just their ears. Your eyes should be on the speaker, my last group of kids taught me it's called "tracking". The art of conversation comes into play at this point. You want to be sure to respond to what someone is saying before interjecting your thoughts on the subject. Seems like most folks open up there mouths and respond to what is in their pretty little heads; definitely a sign someone is not listening.

When we are involved in conversation, we should seek understanding not to be understood. How often do we actually encounter that??? Test your understanding by paraphrasing what you just heard and listened to, not attaching any emotion to the what is being stated. At the moment you have done the above mentioned, you ladies and gentlemen are ready to speak. 

Now that we have distinguished the difference between hearing and listening, go out and practice your new skills. Wait! One last thing, try counting two seconds before responding, and keeping intermitten comments to yourself until the messenger is done withtheir do. you may even have someone ask "Are you listening to me?" And you will be proud to say, I am. 

In the meantime and in between time, be happy, be healthy and be you!

STOP Waiting For Perfection, Just Get Started!

I won't ask you to tell on yourself, but how many people do you know who are waiting to start something new? A new diet? A new career? Start a new business? Make a Youtube video? Sing a song? Write a book? Ooh-ooh what about a new exercise routine?


Ok, so now that we have someone in mind who's been talking about doing this, that and another... Let's talk about what to do next... GET STARTED! Don't wait another day, don't make another excuse. I remember hanging out at Kymatic Studios in St Petersburg, FL last Fall vibing with budding artists Topaz Hooper and aspiring artist. The second young lady was talking about doing videos to accompany her songs, but felt she needed to have this and have that. In response, I introduced them both to my my YouTube Channel, explaining that I too, used to wait. 

I wanted perfect lighting, I needed to be wearing makeup, be dressed properly and have a decent backdrop. I wanted to have my speeches written or at least some notes. an outline, Cliff's Notes, something. I wanted to feel prepared! And all those irrelevant concepts had anything to do with my message. Ironically, Miss Hooper asked me "Are you a motivational speaker?" Check please... I wanted to hide my red face and ears because the teacher just learned the lesson. I need to get started on my mission to be the top motivational speaker. The real revelation just happened now, as I type this blog. Where yes I have been posting videos, microblogs and blogs, but no I have not completed my profile on Gigmasters. I had not reached out to anyone about me speaking to their group or company. 

Obviously, I have some work to do... How about you? What step can you take to get started? I dare you to find the most minimal step. If it's a passport is what you desire. Go online and fill out the app, that cost zero dollars and maybe $0.30 to print it out at the library. Success is a series of baby steps. Don't wait for permission, don't wait for perfect circumstances, don't wait for the courage. And I promise your fear will be there when you get done, if you still need it. 

Today, I am sharing a video that I recorded in the process of moving out of my apartment, so the background is horrible. I wasn't wearing makeup, hell I was still wearing my robe! However, I did not allow any of this to stop me. The message was the delivered despite my imagined setbacks. 

Now I challenge you to make a move today. Come back and tell me about. Email me, I look forward to hearing from you. Get to work, the time is NOW!

I LOVE YOU! I BELIEVE IN YOU!

Do Your Relationships Have Balance?

Are you one of those people who who checks your bank account's balance everyday? Or are you like me, I spend hoping there is a enough in the account to cover the swipe. lol no lol. Relationships , no matter the type or title, are a lot like bank accounts, there is a balance of deposits and withdrawals.

The balance is what is most importation being it is a reflection of the activity, recent and past, in the account ("relationship"). The deposits are positives accepted and applied to the balance, while withdrawals are taking away from that balance often viewed as negatives. If I make more and larger deposits than withdrawals, my account is healthy and growing, indicators of a positive relationship.
Adversely, if a person taking out more than they are putting in, it will yield negative statements.


Let's delve a little deeper and address other terms such as direct deposits and automatic withdrawals.   What would you consider as direct deposits in a relationship???

Let's propose that you are Christian and you attend service weekly; think that would be a direct deposit? What about waking up daily to your spouse and greeting him or her with a kiss and a smile? Or regularly scheduled outing or event with someone you hold an account with? Got you brain going? I think my daily routine of meditation, yoga, journaling and reading is mine... when there is some "technical difficulty" keeping that deposit to made into my being definitely makes a difference
in my balance.



Now let us consider automatic withdrawals. When I think of this idiom, what immediately comes to mind is the time and energy spend or love we give unconsciously. For example, if you are a housewife, you think nothing of getting up to feed the family and ensuring everyone has what they need and want. If you are a father, you may not contemplate how your going to work to provide for your family is both debiting from your personal "account" and contributing to the positive balance in your families lives.

So next time you encounter a "negative" person, keep in mind that person may be operating with "insufficient funds" and don't need to incur any additional charges and penalties from you. If you don't mind doing me  a favor, next time you recognize a person battling an overdrawn account, make a deposit of love.

Breaking News: It's OK To Make Mistakes

BREAKING NEWS!

Give your self a break! If you could have done different you would have. We generally make the best decision we can at the time with the information we were working with. We ALL make mistakes; to err is human (to forgive divine). So while we're at it let's give those around us a break as well. 

It seems like people hold others accountable to a higher standard than they hold themselves. We hold our parents to a higher standard. We hold our children to the highest standard, when we usually haven't set such an example for them to follow. If I am not mistaken, mistakes aren't age or any demographic specific. I believe that there is really is no such thing as making mistakes. There are opportunities to learn, grow and develop. 

We are all works in progress. Moreover, be forgiving of yourself first and then begin to forgive those around you. One the most powerful books I have read, "A Course In Miracles", teaches that forgiveness is the key to happiness. By show of hands, who wants happiness??? Go ahead no one's looking... And if they are phuck 'em! They need some of this good juju too. Matter of fact, go ahead email this blog to them. (That's the cute little envelope at the bottom of this post.) 

Now go ahead and make some mistakes and smile thinking that you are being blessed with the opportunity to be a better you. I love you. I believe in you. I believe that WE will WIN!
