New Year, New Goals, New Rules

So it’s a new year and everyone has resolutions that may be broken by the first of the second month into the year. What new years resolutions have you written that you may have already broken? It’s ok if you have broken one or two. Get back on them and keep pressing forward! We still have 350 days to cover. So let’s get going! Motivate, Inspire, Change Lives and Jump into Action.

Get your calendar, notebook, journal, dream book, or whatever it is that you enjoy writing your dreams and read what you have written and write some more!  I have realized there are times when you have to look back and review what you have written and achieved (or not) in order to see how far you have gotten.

One of my goals this year is to read more books that will help me reach my goals. I have already read a book by Terri Savelle Foy “Dream Big” and it has impacted my life greatly! If you do not like to read there is also the option of listening to podcasts  or audiobooks. Learn, learn, learn and move, move, move unto a better place, unto a better position, unto a better state of mind. The point is to move and not be mediocre.

I challenge you to get your hands on books, articles, attend conferences and seminars that will challenge you to jump into your destiny. Surround yourself by positive people. Take away the negative and recognize when the negative energy reaches your space.

This year, I am going to jump into action and no longer be a wimp or give excuses. I love the acronym that Florida Hospital has on their welcome card (laying on the hospital bed) when you are admitted as an inpatient or outpatient – CREATION.

C- Choice

R- Rest

E- Environment

A- Activity

T- Trust

I- Interpersonal Relationships

O- Outlook

N- Nutrition

After reading their philosophy, I was reminded that in life there should be a balance. At times, we lose that balance when we focus too much on one thing and then all others areas of our lives suffer the neglect.

So, time to get back in the game to focus and keep the balance going. What do you do when you fall off your list of things to do? What is it that helps you stay on track? Is it a phone app? List of things to do on paper? A planner? All are great and the best part is that you use  what works for you.

Live, learn and move on!

2016 will be the best year ever~

Feeling Inspired

What inspires you?

What motivates you?

What challenges you?

When you are happy or sad do you feel pushed to the edge?

Here is something I wrote this morning that expresses my thoughts and feelings about feeling inspired during the most darkest and difficult times or simply when life throws stuff at you when you are not looking.

I hope you enjoy it!

I refuse to get down because someone else is down!

I refuse to allow someone else’s depression overcome me and my future!

I refuse to get my mind entangled with the craziness of other people.

I refuse to let go of God at this point in my life.

I refuse to allow confusion to interfere with God’s plan in my life.

I refuse to go back to Egypt when I know that the promise land is right before me.

I will look ahead with my head held high and with my eyes focused on the prize who is Jesus-the Author, Perfecter and Finisher of my FAITH!

I will trust in HIM and only HIM during these most difficult times-actually this is not so difficult when you think back of all the losses I’ve had. Struggles come and go but HIS word will never return void. It sharpens me and pierces my heart for it is a exactly like a double edged sword!

My God will ALWAYS be right beside me and will never leave me.

I will trust in HIM!!! 

But, I, too must act. Act like I’ve never acted before. With strength, wisdom and perseverance!

To move like a gazelle for time is short!

To move like there is no time to play!

To move like my life depends on it!

To move like a Silver Bullet train to get to the next station on time for there is no time.

To move because God’s timing is not my own.

And, to move to the next level for it is from glory, glory, glory that God takes me in order to move to the next level of my life!

Here is also a chapter from the book of Psalm (34) that inspires me and helps me move forward in life! Enjoy and be blessed~

Psalm 34

Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left.

¹ I will extol the Lord at all times;
    his praise will always be on my lips.
² I will glory in the Lord;
    let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
³ Glorify the Lord with me;
    let us exalt his name together.

⁴ I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
    he delivered me from all my fears.
⁵ Those who look to him are radiant;
    their faces are never covered with shame.
⁶ This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
    he saved him out of all his troubles.
⁷ The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
    and he delivers them.

⁸ Taste and see that the Lord is good;
    blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
⁹ Fear the Lord, you his holy people,
    for those who fear him lack nothing.
¹⁰ The lions may grow weak and hungry,
    but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
¹¹ Come, my children, listen to me;
    I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
¹² Whoever of you loves life
    and desires to see many good days,
¹³ keep your tongue from evil
    and your lips from telling lies.
¹⁴ Turn from evil and do good;
    seek peace and pursue it.

¹⁵ The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
    and his ears are attentive to their cry;
¹⁶ but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
    to blot out their name from the earth.

¹⁷ The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
    he delivers them from all their troubles.
¹⁸ The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
    and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

¹⁹ The righteous person may have many troubles,
    but the Lord delivers him from them all;
²⁰ he protects all his bones,
    not one of them will be broken.

²¹ Evil will slay the wicked;
    the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
²² The Lord will rescue his servants;
    no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

2014 Vision Board

I hope this inspires you to start your very own vision board. I started my board last year but it is now in 2014 that I am beginning to fill it up with new goals, inspiration and dreams! Begin NOW! 🙂

Joshua 1:7

“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.”

My New 2014 Vision Board

what are you doing today?

what are you doing today?

I slept in today…the first is so long! It was well deserved. I worked hard and played little in 2013!

Today is the first day of the rest of 365 days in 2014! Everyone is pumped up and motivated to get their year started.. If we were like this 365 days of the year imagine all that we are able to accomplish! Some of us are driven that way and others well…let’s just leave at that. I think of the scripture that we read last night – Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” just before we brought in the new year and I’m reminded that God will always stretch out his right hand to protect me and to give me strength. I pray the same for you as you begin 2014 inspired, motivated and encouraged to do what your little heart desires to do! Be encouraged and keep seeking for His kingdom because as we all well know that God will grow our little world with many blessings.

Begin 2014 right where you are!
