Some people call it inner self, voices, chatterbox, or simply thoughts. The fact is However you label it at the end of the day it’s all noise. When we become so overwhelmed with so much stimuli from the world it simply because noise. In order to get realigned and move forward with clarity you must first “quiet the noise” then find a loving place of stillness within yourself. Just pause…..breath, regroup, release, and resume. So it’s ok to KILL THE NOISE!

In this life, on this journey you will encounter many individuals.

Yet their intentions may not always be clear at first you just have to study and test the spirit.

One thing for sure is when you see people who have authority but lack

integrity you are to stay far away from them for they are very dangerous to themselves and others.

Time is one of those things we can’t get enough of. Yes we get the same 24 hours in a day, but what we we do with those hours can change the trajectory of our very existence.

When you are afraid to speak truth to power, speak up for yourself, speak life into your future, take risks and step out of your comfort zone, you will only create a terrible enemy within.

“Those that MATTER don’t mind all others are irrelevant.

In my opinion if we start our days with a plan, purpose and intentionality we can become more productive. Many people say they want something more, different, or better out of this life however very few are willing to put in the work.

So, I challenge you to take inventory of your daily routine. After you have met all of your work and family obligations what are your doing with that time? Are you investing in those things that will help you to become more productive?

Many say they want more out of this life rather than just status quo. Many say they are above mediocrity and sub par conditions, but how many are really ready and committed to put in the work to achieve such.

Yes change is hard and uncomfortable but that is also where you will start to grow.

In all your busyness, if you are not investing any of that energy into yourself, directed towards yourself care, and personal development, then you are really busy doing nothing.

Prayer is essential to some and humility is noble to others. However both are ineffective without AWARENESS. If you hope to have an impact or make a difference in your environment, in your community or even across the globe. You must start by first becoming aware, woke, and conscious.

One of my favorite quotes is “you can’t pour from an empty cup”

We can sometimes carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. Often going through our daily rituals and routines which may or may not be helping us. If your daily routine includes everyone and everything except taking care of you, then you need to re-evaluate and re-prioritize.

You can only be as good to others as you are to yourself. We only have one body and one recovery system. In order for us to become stronger we need to be mindful to allow ourselves to re-charge, and re-fuel.

No matter what your love language is, it will undoubtedly include three key components, in my opinion;

~COURAGE: Putting your vulnerability on the line.

~PERSPECTIVE: Your attitude towards something

~PERCEPTION: The understanding of something

The breaking down of one old self may sound harsh, drastic or even ridiculous to some. However, when we are seeking a spiritual awakening, guidance from a higher source the transformation of self is necessary. It will not be easy. It will be painful, lonely, and doubtful at times. However in order to break the bondage of a fixed mindset you must trust the process. For each day we are amongst the living, we are all an imperfect piece of clay that has an opportunity to be remolded, and reshaped.
