Real Goals

Have you ever thought about where you will be in three to five years? How many years have passed? Does your answer match where you are now? Ask yourself another question... Are you content with where you are?

Now, yes we have many who are laid off and are struggling to make it hour by hour trying to figure out how they will get their next meal. But that is not the type of goals I am talking about. I am talking about the goals of strength and wisdom. I am talking about the goal to be the best person you can be. I am talking about the goal to strive for more no matter how bad things get. I am talking about the goal to relieve yourself of stress and sadness. Yes you can get better and yes you can feel better. One thing I have learned that I do not take for granted, is that no matter how bad things get, there is always a beautiful day coming.

So when you next set goals be sure to focus on healing yourself as well; mentally and physically. 

Color Has No Meaning

When you or someone you know need a blood transfusion, do you know what race the person is who provides that? When you need a transplant do you know who provided it to you? It could be anyone and believe me race has no factor at all. From stem cells to organs, there is one key factor that does not play a role: ethnicity. Let's wake up and focus. 

This Is Real

I often wonder what is what when what is not really what... LOL. Do you? Yes. We all do. We always find ourselves asking another question. On and on again....

You Will Always Be My Best Friend

When you meet someone who you can speak to about anything and everything it means the world to you. It is amazing to have someone you can share your good and bad with and they always understand. Understanding is the key. You never have to agree nor do you need to like what the other person is saying. However you completely respect it and not once do you find yourself in a negative state too long. The negative state does not last long because as stated earlier,  you understand.  You respect what the other person says. It all sound unreal and it all sound impossible.  It sounds like a movie; a surreal love story. But how many people have truly experienced going through a moment or longer time like this? Many of us have. That's how many met the ones they have grown old with now.

I find it completely interesting how we seem to respect one another in the beginning but find ourselves tired with what we fell in love with as time goes. Who do that? Humans. Why? Ask yourselves that question. I can honestly say I know about short term love stories and long term ones. I still am experiencing a long term and I am blessed to feel it. I call it my best friend. 

Why

Why is a one word that can cause much communication outlets to open. The reason is due to people not wanting to accept the first answer. When you do not accept the first answer and you rebuttal you are responding automatically with why on your mind no matter how many words you use.  Or you may just say why. WHY?

A Whole Pot of Love!

When you can really face situations in life that have broken you down to feeling like nothing, and you only respond with nothing but love still, it is then when you know you have murdered hate.

Take Action!

We embrace motivation with mental guidance and we create fundamental cloudy responses not realizing we are.  Let's work on breaking that barrier. Work on moving through the clouds.

Forever Gone

We find ourselves trapped at times in secluded stressful situations because we choose to be there. We don't realize the dangers of placing ourselves in this state. Many times it is too late to reverse the damage we have caused.Talking about the situation helps to release some of the stress but it does not take it away. So the big question is how do we get rid of stress? You don't. You control stress for the sake of your health. Don't allow it to control you.

MCP = SUCCESS

The best three skills to solidify a great team is motivational, collaborative, and productive skills. It is evident we need to be able to read and write. Matter of fact look at the term productive. Arise from it is productivity. Productivity is what? A need in business. If you can read and write you are capable of retaining knowledge. If you can retain knowledge you are capable of thinking. If you can think than you can create ideas. If you can create ideas and they are good, you have productivity. 

Collaborative skills is highly abused. However, not being able to communicate and understand your team can minimize the capabilities of any task placed before them. Everyone needs to be on the same page. It's a well known fact most companies who stay in business have a team who is loyal and willing to learn. They are willing to work together and put forth their strengths and weaknesses to build a more solid foundation. I believe if we put ourselves in positions for the right reasons we flourish. Negative impact will have no statue. Just being able to say "hi" is highly important. Influence is not based on how silent you are. Someone has to speak.

The third skill is the most important. I truly believe motivational skills is number one. I believe without this skill,  businesses will not flourish. It is time to start motivating.  

Impossible Possibilities

What is impossible if all is possible?  Is it ourselves who place impossible on the possibility? Many will beg to differ. I don't agree or disagree.  What I have learned is that constraints are self made. 

Do You Know Who You Are?

When you look in the mirror, what do you truly see? How do you feel about what is staring back at you? When I was a little girl, I never looked in the mirror and admired myself. There was a time I passed most mirrors and when I would do my hair, I always would put it in one ponytail because I just did not feel like standing there and taking the time to do it. I would say two minutes tops. LOL.

And I would go to school everyday with that same hairstyle. To get to the point, I forgot to face me.
 

It was not any easy task and it was not something easy to handle. It was a battle and a journey well fought by me. I went through many roller coasters and train rides and I traveled through many jungles, but I learned a lot along the way. I learned me. I lived me. I dealt with me. I looked in the mirror. I know who I am.

For those of you who have experienced this moment and never told a soul, I salute you. For those who have shared their story, I salute you. For those of you who know what I am saying but do not have the guts to deal with it, every night I will pray for you. For those of you who do not have a clue about what I am saying, every night I will pray for you.

Managing me, being the complicated person I am, has been complex. However, I do what any well trained manager would do, I continue to find the root cause of each and every single issue. I always hear so many people say how blessed and happy they are. I listen to people speak of feeling complete. However, I believe we guard those words too much. Being complete does not mean a person has it all together, it just means they understand how to get it together. The next time you are about to lie down and go to bed, stop and look in the mirror. Ask yourself, "What do I truly see?"

I SEE YOU

I look around and I see such innocent and delicate moments. I see moments that are raw and I love it. Seeing leaves fall from a tree caused by the wind is raw. I have found myself busy working and forget to take a moment to look out the window. At the end of the night when I would get ready to leave, I would realize not once did I look up. I missed the day. I know now to look around and I make sure to see such innocent and delicate moments. It's worth it.
