Learn from Failure

Failure

Failure is not an option!

A perceived failure can only be described as such if the lesson is not learned. 

When we choose to learn humility, forgiveness, depth of reflection and better decision making skills, then, we have not failed.
Once a lesson is learned, it cannot possibly be a failure.

Everything happens for a reason and everything happens for our Highest Good! GOD is in the Business of Our Highest good. Therefore, if it happens and we learn the lesson, then, we can name the situation good and very good. 

The people that we admire and those we call GREAT have experienced situations that can be described as failures. What is the difference between them and a regular person?
They have made a conscious decision to dig deep within themselves and find the strength to get back up. 

If a situation is in front of Us, is because we have everything within us to be successful, therefore it cannot be a failure.

Life is a “Thinking Thing” and failure is not a thought that should be an option!

Honor YourSelf!

Honor YourSelf!

Once God places you on a HIGHER LEVEL:

You cannot go back to what you knew before!
You cannot settle for old stuff that is now beneath you!
You cannot regress into an old, low level comfort zone!
The old manner of getting ahead has changed!
The dynamic of your future has been set in high gear!
Your paradigm has shifted upward and onward!
What you use to “rely” on, you can’t rely on that anymore!
The lower rungs on your ladder to success no longer exist!
Don’t cry when old methods don’t work anymore. DRY THOSE TEARS!

Stop looking back!
Stop running backwards!
And, don’t look down!
Come out from under that low place!
Change your behavior, attitude and confidence to match your NEW HIGHER LEVEL!

You are not only on a different level
YOU ARE ON A HIGHER LEVEL!

These were my encouraging WORDS for today, especially after receiving an email with “not so cool” news. When I realized that what I was shooting for was beneath me, I dried my tears.

I’m ABOVE only and not BENEATH! I’m the HEAD AND NOT THE TAIL! – Deuteronomy 28:13

And, the ALTITUDE up here is just fine and dandy!

Worrying is literally betting against Yourself!

Worrying is literally betting against Yourself!

Worrying is a total waste of emotion!
Regardless if you worry or not, the outcome will be whatever the outcome is going to be.
Your thoughts and your feelings have the power to re-direct your life.

If you are going to think, might as well think of thoughts in your favor. See yourself as GOD sees you, Whole, Healthy and Complete. When you begin a new endeavor, see yourself being successful with it and at it. LOVE Yourself enough to ONLY wish you well! When you have trials and tribulations, think grateful thoughts for the lessons that the situation will bestow upon you!!

Bet on yourself!
LOVE Yourself!
Consider thoughts a seed; plant seeds that will give you the fruit that you are longing for.

Happy Thoughts,

“I Bestow Blessings Upon You!

As I study the teachings of Joel Osteen I am now convinced that I have the Power to Bless others as well as myself.

Reading the 11th day of Joel Osteen’s daily word, it inspired me to bestow a Blessing upon ALL of my readers:

I Declare Abundant Blessings Upon You and Yours. GOD Blessed you with Faith, Peace and Understanding! As you walk through the day
I Bless you with the Faith you need in order to encounter your day Victoriously.
I Bless you with Peace so that you can walk through your day knowing that ALL IS Well!
I Bless you with understanding to convince yourself that no matter what you see you will be the last one standing.

I Bless You with the realization that as long as you put GOD First, you have Faith and Understanding you can have the Desires of your Heart!

Blessings!

Our Children came from us but they are not us!

Our Children came from us but they are not us!

Don’t cut your child’s wings because of your dreams and aspirations. Your dreams are yours. Their dreams are theirs! As parents we are here to Guide, Cultivate & Support their dreams!

The Late Rev. Dr. Mary A. Tumpkin taught me many things during the 20 years that she was my Spiritual Teacher. One of the lessons that I received, and understood without much studying was: My two girls, Nie and Cat came from me but they are not mine. GOD sent them here for a reason; GOD put within them EVERYTHING they needed in order to fulfill their Destiny. GOD has a plan for them and I have no right to tell them who they should become.

I guided them into activities and they selected the activities which made their Hearts soar. Nie is an actress by birth. Is in her blood, and though a lot of people would disagree with their child following an acting career, my thought was, that is what makes her happy.

Cat is a speaker, a writer, a spinner. She might be a lawyer, she might be a writer, she might be a journalist, she might be an activist, she might even be a Politian. These are things I see in her, but never will I influence her (only guide) on who she will be in life.

Parents, it is not our job to divert our children’s dreams. Our job is to guide them, to show them their options, and ultimately, only our children can make that the decision.

LOVE YourSelf

When you read the words in the sand, you consider it elementary. Of course You LOVE Yourself! Really? Do you really LOVE Yourself?

Look at your life, look at the choices you have made, if you were someone else, would you say you LOVE Yourself? Below are a series of questions, answer them HONESTLY, and you will get a general idea on how you feel about yourself:

When is the last time you went to the doctor for a check up?
When is the last time you did something nice for yourself?
When is the last time you put your feelings, needs, desires before someone else’s?
When was the last time you said YES to you?
When is the last time you exercised?
Do you smoke?
Do you drink excessively?
Are you doing something to your body that you know deep inside is not healthy?
Are you following your doctor’s orders?
Listen to your self-talk, what do you think about what you are saying to yourself.
How do you feel when someone give you a complement?
How do you react when someone want to do something nice to you?
Do you ever call yourself a name?
When is the last time you took a nap?

As we enter 2014, let us all choose to LOVE Ourselves!
Believe it or not, LOVING OurSelves will allow Us to LOVE others more!

On the way to Truly LOVING Myself,

I Am Betting on Me!

I Am Betting on Me!

Worrying is literally betting against yourself!

As I forge forward with my Life Coaching practice, my main objective is to have my clients believe in themselves, LOVE themselves and choose themselves. I understand, and live that at times this is a challenge, and I am always trying to find new ways of getting the point across that WE MUST Choose Ourselves First!

When the student is ready, the teacher will come! As I looked for ways to drive my point across, the Universe placed this GREAT sign in my way, Imagine that!

“WORRYING IS LITERALLY BETTING AGAINST YOURSELF!”

Just typing it makes me smile! 🙂

I want to bet on Me! I want to be a Winner, I want to be able to live my life knowing that at the end of the day, no matter what, I am going to win regardless. GOD made me in His Image and His likeness, what else is there for me to do than to win? I have no other choice! I get it! As I feel like this about myself, I can’t help but to transfer this feeling to my clients!
What A Blessing!!!!!!!

As we begin to prepare for Our BEST year yet, 2014, I think this is the PERFECT sign to think about, meditate upon and commit to memory as we begin to think of a new opportunity to begin again.

Bet on yourself!

Betting on me,

Take your meds!

Take your meds!

Consider thinking and dwelling on your past the same as you not taking care of your health, not taking care of yourself. If you had a migraine, would you not take your meds to feel BETTER and make your migraine go away? Living in the past, is like you not taking your meds when you have a migraine and wishing and hoping to feel BETTER. Consider you dwelling in your past not taking your meds.

Have you ever met someone who was not taking care of their health? Someone who had a major illness and they were not doing what the doctor recommended them to do? How did you feel about this person’s actions? If they passed away due to not taking care of themselves and their health, how did that make you feel?

Thinking of the past is just like not taking your meds when you are sick. “It makes no sense!” The past is just a story at this point, it has no power!

Live in the present, concentrate and enjoy the moment. Take your meds and forge forward!

Taking my meds,
