Attitude Check

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING…
SO CHOOSE A GOOD ONE!
Okay Folks…

First off, springtime is here and March has been one of those glorious months for me.
Trust me, coming off the tail end of a difficult period. God has been blessing me and favoring me and I am just grateful.

Today, I want to talk about attitude and how we have to be careful of the attitudes we display.
I know everyone has moods, some good and bad and sometimes our bad moods hit us at inopportune times but we can do something about those moods right?

Well, I learned today that I have to be deliberate to keep my moods in check and have the right attitude despite how I am feeling. A friend from out of town asked me to do a huge favor and commit to picking them up early from the airport taking him in town to drop off something and then returning him to the airport. Now all of this I agreed to do on a Monday morning…

Well, nothing went right this morning, I got up a little late and rushed out; was caught in a deadlock of traffic, my phone did not work, I  arrived late after the scheduled flight and had to circle the airport at least four times, until I finally realize my friend did not arrive on schedule.

I decided to go to the service station close to the airport, to see if I could have access to a phone in order to call to my friend, however it did not work…so I  did not have a clue whether the flight came in or not.

So, I returned to the airport for the fifth time and there was my friend, who politely walked over and said Bahamasair's flight was one hour late. Well, I shrugged that is pretty much a usual thing.

Now, while all of this happening, I know I was feeling a little bit bothered and frustrated but I grinned and bore it. Trust me, I felt a mood coming on but I pushed through it, smiling and nodding in our conversations. As now I have to head in town to do a drop off and turn around again to drop my friend off to catch his International Flight well over the agreed time.

I dropped off my friend in town to deliver something and as he got back in the car he gave me an envelope and I asked what it was…he said Oh, nothing.

Well, after a while I got curious and opened the envelope, it was two roundtrip vouchers for  Bahamas air Flight and two US 100 dollar bills. I was totally in shock and in awe and inside feeling little guilty because I so wanted to be upset because nothing began right for my Monday. So here I am contemplating whether or not if my attitude would have been different, if I would have been a recipient of this gift?

Perhaps, not!
Perhaps, if I had the wrong attitude, my friend and I would have probably been at each other's throat and I would have lost out on my blessing. And a blessing it was…

All I am trying to say is this, every now and then we have to will ourselves to being positive when we can go way into the negative. Every now and then we have to check our attitudes and make sure that we always place our best foot forward. Maybe we can be intentional in keeping a smile on our faces, cause we may never know what blessings await us…

ATTITUDE CHECK…SMILE!!!

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 materialistic or influential

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

Live Free: Getting Rid of Toxic Connections

I hate to admit the obvious, but I am still learning how life, love and all things in between work. I must confess that I will forever be a life-long learner until the day I die. One thing I've recently discovered for certain is that we are responsible for what we bring into our lives. We are responsible for the types of relationships we have and the people we are associated with. I am aware of how toxic people can be and how we must truly guard our peace at all costs. The older you get, the more baggage you carry. Unfortunately, if the weight is not offloaded, it becomes heavier and heavier. You can then unload on an unwitting victim. On this blog, I've often mentioned introspection and doing the work on yourself before you can help anyone else. However, for clarity and emphasis, you must prioritize your personal development and healing. This comes with the understanding and knowledge that some people are not your assignment and you are not required to help them improve. Geesh
