You Don't Get That Person Back

There are, have been, and will continue to be people, relationships, and situations that a person will be 'done' with. 

As a society, we put up with the antics, laziness, and the ridiculous logic of others causing ourselves emotional, mental, and, physical stress. 

Once a person realizes what has happened, or, is happening.......they make the ultimate decision to be 'done', removing themselves from the person, relationship, and/or situation permanently with no option of return. 

This is a great loss for those on the receiving end, as they have been used to taking, never giving of themselves as a person or people have been to them. 

They have lost a person, or, group of people who were giving of themselves, to help fulfill the need of others who took advantage of compassion and kindness, now to receive it no more. 

You don't get a person back once they are 'done' with you. The resolve for them is never to associate, or, deal with you again in efforts to preserve their emotional, mental and physical health. They are 'done' pouring into you, so they can begin to fill themselves.  #thatsurthurty

Get A Living Will

We all have an expiration date whether we want to talk about it or not. There's no getting around it, so we should all be responsible to have a Will and Living Will in place. Please research the difference between the two.

Even with a Living Will, and/or Will in place, there may be someone or even some people who will contest it. And as we all know, there will be that one relative, or, family member.....maybe even someone out of the blue who will try and stake claim to something they know does not belong to them. 

Regardless if this is done or not, there is a possibility of infighting, attempting to steal, etc., so it's best to have it in place for legal reasons and protection of the one to take care of matters when you are no longer here. #thatsurthurty

Don't Let Them Talk You Out Of It!

How many times have you shared something with someone and they tried to talk you out of it? Many I'm sure. They're looking at things from their perspective of how they live, as well as the perspective they have of you from the outside. They don't know your deepest heart desires. 

There are also those who will question why you're doing or pursuing something, as if you own them an explanation as to why. You don't. I encourage you to never explain to anyone of why you're pursing a dream, passion, or even to accomplish a personal goal. I understand you sharing these things with your significant other, partner, spouse, close confidant, and even your children, but, for those whom you discern as a person who's envious of you, or present themselves as asking out of fal se concern, or curiousity.....no. 

Those type of people will begin to speak of; why you shouldn't do it, barriers they believe you have, why you won't be able to achieve your goal, and may even have the gaul to compare you to someone else. When these type people rear their heads, remove them from your space. You don't have to deal with them at all. Pursue what you desire. Keeping the matters of your heart private from those who are irrelevant. #thatsurthurty

Money Doesn't Make You. It Will Break You.

There are many who believe that money is the root of all evil. Very incorrect. The love of money is the root of all evil. Not respecting its power and value is the evil that brings one to their demise. 

There's nothing wrong with having money, a little, a lot, in abundance.....nothing wrong with it at all. There is something wrong if obtaining it illegally at the suffering of others. There is also something wrong with having money if you're not generous. Yes, you should give, donate, sponsor, etc. Understand the difference between giving and donating before you stop reading this blog entry.

Generosity displays and increases your humility. With humility comes increase in many areas of your life, not just financial.  This is the making of money.

Your lack of giving, or, not.....simply decreases your character and displays who you are to those you may not be aware of. This is the breaking of money.

Are you made or broke? #thatsurthurty

Do Something About That Mouth Of Yours

How many times has someone spoken to you in a disrespectful way that you didn't deserve? Now, how many times have you done that to someone?  I've done it quite a few times, and, I've had a most recent encounter that caused me to be disappointed in myself. I care about others feeling now.

There was a point in time when I would say whatever to people in efforts to keep them from hurting me. I would be very quick wit in such a way they either couldn't, or didn't know how to  respond. Ever heard the phrase 'hurt people, hurt people'? That's exactly what I was doing.

I did that again in this recent encounter I speak and had to correct myself. My comments were uncalled for, and once again I need to get this mouth of mine under wraps. Current situation.......doing something about this mouth of mine. #thatsurthurty

Nosey

Some people are just plain ole' nosey, down right intrusive, and, disrespectful. Forever in someone else's business when they should be minding their own. That's too much like right so I digress.

In my digression I encourage all to go further than to know your boundaries with others, create them for yourself. Before you poke your nose into someone else's business, take a moment to ask yourself if you would take kind to someone asking the question or questions you're about to ask. 

If you have to ask yourself this question, this would be a strong 'no'.  #thatsurthurty

Relax

This a word of action that I constantly encourage others with, and have found that I don't do this for myself.

I'm just learning to take breaks, and sometimes, well, most often times, they are some of the shortest breaks ever. 

I've come to be a person that believes no time to any should be wasted, giving myself the misconception and misunderstanding what taking a break is, so there's no way that I have the concept of how to relax. 

I was in conversation with an ole' friend yesterday and we briefly touched on the subject of me taking time for myself, as I am consumed with one of the greatest task in my life. A task that no parent should have to take on, but yet, here I am.

She gave me some suggestions and tips for anxiety that I believe will lead to me learning to relax. Today will be my first time utilizing this resource. I'm not going to wait for anxiety to hit, I'm going to utilize the resource as a part of my daily routine. Due diligence.

Created by The Creator

October 1st. Wow. I anticipated the month of September as I knew there was much for me to do and accomplish. It came and went so fast to the point of it being here and gone.

September was a month of Vision writing, believing and speaking. There were some actions that came along with that which opened many doors and awakened some things inside of me physically and spiritually. 

There were times I became; frustrated, not angry, questioning, not doubting, and, left to ponder, not wonder. Divine.

I encourage you all to keep GOD first in all you do. If you forget to keep HIM first, remind yourself when you begin to believe the things you are accomplishing and receiving are of yourself.

Yes, you may have the skill, knowledge and determination to; achieve, create, etc., just remember.....you didn't create your mind, and going further, you are a creation. HIS Creation.
