Stay In Your Lane...

Many people look at others lives and they want what they have...now!
Don't Veer of your own Path...Stay In Your Lane!
However, they fail to consider the process of what someone had to go through to build, grow or have the success and the things that they have. We look from the outside and say, " we can do that!" However, truth be told, we fail to do due diligence, or understand that there is work involved. There is nothing that comes easy for someone. Sometimes our dreams lay dormant for a long while until we wake up or become awaken to them. We have to make a decision to put in the work.

I see people chase after other people's dreams, well if they can do that I can do it too. We are immersed in a copycat whirlpool, where everyday someone decides to copycat the other because they feel that they can do it better! Don't get me wrong, I am not talking about people who have legitimate goals, dreams and plans for their lives. I am talking about those who want to live other people dreams rather than their own, just because it looks easy to do and you can make lots of money doing it. Many people jump into something that is not where they should be and when they find out it is not as easy it looks, they get frustrated and consider themselves as a failure.

Listen, you are not the failure, you just happen to have veered in the wrong direction and took on something that was not for you. You walked off your own path and went towards a different path that you were unable to conquer...Stay In Your Lane!

There is territory available for you to seize, conquer and control. This territory is connected to the gift(s) that is placed inside of you. Your gift, talents and abilities will make room for you. The timing of getting where you need to be is all up to you. I often say, don't despise small beginnings, a seedling  placed in the ground, starts off small but with time and nourishment , it begins to grow and becomes a great tree...Don't Despise the Process!

The process is what is needed to make you into the person that You want to be...the person God needs you to be. This person you should become is valuable and has a distinct purpose. The gifts that are given to you is to support this purpose. Any success you have is wrapped in your purpose. Many times we often forget that and get defeated and discouraged within our process, but do not verge or merge left or right...Stay In Your Lane!

I know it is easier said than done but imagine not using your gifts to your full potential and living your life at half cycle and not full cycle. Imagine going after other people dreams and not your own. Imagine trying to live someone else's life, that you lose sight of your own. Live your own life. Walk your own path in the direction you need to go. Dare to go full cycle and full throttle ahead but keep yourself centered and never compare yourself with anyone. It's your lane and you decide the pace that you need to complete it. Simply remind yourself that you determine what you need for your life, because oftentimes than most...we forget that!

Mean It!

  Hello, is this thing on?🎤 Well, it has been a while since I have released a blog post. The reason is that I have not been inspired to write much of anything lately. When I tell you the season I was in, from a personal perspective was a dry season. it was a period of being off the grid and staying in the shadows. It was the season of my detox. It required me to be poured into rather than pouring out myself.  Lately, I found myself searching and in desperate need of something different. I needed more!   Now, I want to qualify my statement, by simply stating that I needed more than the norm. More for my life! My professional life, my spiritual life, and my personal life required me to seek beyond my normal. I was... no I am intentional about my next season being way different than before. I cannot get away with a mediocre outlook on life because I want more of what life has to offer.  I want to be more. I want to experience more. I am not speaking from the mater...

Unspoken Words...I Broke Down Today!!!

So how's this for a reel...real talk, real truth and real emotions... I Broke Down Today!!! Some would say, I had a meltdown while others would say I lost total control of my emotions. I would have been deemed emotional and yet I was unashamed... I baled, I balled, I cried out in desperation because of hurt, pain, mishandling and misinformation. You see days before I was walking tall, proud that I was keeping it all together. For what though, for a world that is growing colder and callous every day. Now has me wondering, do people truly care about people. The world today is not the world that I dreamt about...a world of peace, love, unity, equality, equity and family togetherness...just the sound of it seems farfetched now. But yet I still have a dream... that one day tings gonna get better...like the good Bishop says. I broke down today because family is not the same anymore, so much  division, so much strife, no unity and I am asking where is the love that once was had. I broke d...

Taking Flight

Latest Release Broken Wings: From Hurt to Hope It' s already December 2016 and I made it to the last month of the year and it feels darn good!  Upon being grateful that I made it to this point in the year, I also have some wonderful news to share with you. I recently published my first book which so happens to be connected to my blog. You see, I started writing during a period of my life, where I was overcome with darkness, as I was going through a period of heartbreak and depression. This blog was therapeutic for me, it helped me write through my pain and thus one day, I sat still long enough to pen words that eventually became my first book, "Broken Wings: From Hurt to Hope.  My book chronicles my experience where I battled depression and tells my very own personal story of how I navigated through one of the most painful times in my life. It is as about as real as you can get. I hope that my book, just as I hope my blog is an encouragement to someone that needs to ...
