It is Okay to fail, But I am never a failure

By His Grace, My Journey Was Revealed: Affirmation of a Soul in Recovery
By.Valecia A. Baldwin-Johnson (thanks for allowing me to paraphasing your affirmation)

As an infant we tried to stand up but only to fall back down, however we kept trying until we stood for those first few moments. Never once, thinking we couldn't do it , never thinking we have failed.
As an adult we become afraid of the risk, afraid of the unknown. What happen to our curiosity, our eagerness to explore. Have we become too comfortable in our past that we become frozen and cannot move into the future. Or we think that failing that new endeavor, new project is the ultimate disgrace. No, we must break down those barriers and move forward. It is from our failures that we become winners.
Winners don't accept failures. we thrive from them.

Road Map

Hello Friends

If we look at the roads we have taken in our live.
We will see that some were good, some were bad.
Some were easy and some were uneventful
Some were hard and rocky.
Others were hilly and hard to climb.
Some roads lead to hills, which the road crumble beneath our feet and we fell down.
And others, we walked along slowy and quietly admiring each twist and turn.
While most we could not understand why we took that road....
Whether the road is good or bad, each has a prupose in our lives.

Happy New Year -2010

Hello Everyone

This year let's give up the struggle to losing weight, lowering our debts,and shopping as there is no tomorrow. When we struggle or resist more, the more we lose the battle because we become more focus on winning and not the steps to achieve the goals.

To win the battle of the bugle, the battle of staying out of debt, and the battle of staying out of stores :start one day at a time.

Set realistic goals that are acheivable.
Enlist a friend who will hold you accountable for your actions.
Write down your goals and visit them each week compared to each day.
Focus on what you can change and call on the experts:lifstyle coaches, financial counselors,personal trainerss or nutritionist to help you change the things you cannot do alone.


Give Up The Struggle: not the battle.You can win.

Happy New Year. 2010

Dancing Through The Storm

Hello Everyone:
This past weekend,the Eastern Coast received about 12 to 15 inches of snow. Some areas had 4 inches per hour to fall. My sister made me walk in the snow, so she can take pictures. As we were walking in ankle deep snow and where the visibility was fair. I started to wonder about Harriet Tubman.
Did she traveled through snow? and if so, can you imagine the temperature. What kind of clothes were the slaves worn and what type of materials make up their shoes.

I cannot image walking in that weather for 300 miles or more to Canada.

Then I realize how spoil we are. We had layers of clothes on and had gloves. Then I thought about how some of us fail to go forward in life because we cannot weather our own personal storms. What made these slaves or any other group of people who had been persecuted for their skin color, religion or their belief.

Yet, they continue to fight, not by fist or guns, by knowledge,wit and faith.
Have we lost the process of problem solving, have we lost the knowledge and wit. Perhaps we have lost all hope and faith.And when these two qualities leave us, we have nothing at all.

We can dance through any storm, when you have faith. No problem is too big for God to handle. Let Go and Let God.

Are We Always Walking with Blinders ON?

It is not what we see, but How you See It

This is the time of year, when people become more tired, lazy, depress. Perhaps, it is the weather. Or it could be the season. Everyone should be happy yet, not everyone enjoys this time of year. The are so many reasons, I will name a few, lost of a love through death, separation,divorce, lack of funds And even distance can seem so depressing. How we see things determines our peaks and valleys. Sometimes we feel the bridges in our lives are overwhelming . When in fact, it can be our thoughts. Change your thoughts.

"Transformations: Give Up The Struggle": By Renee Wiggins

Resisting change can make the obstacles, the hindrances and the storms become even more unbearable. However, if we choose to view them in a different light, change can move us into a bigger, victorious and humble person. See obtacles as ripples in a pond as you move closer to your victory.
