Accountability

The choices you make now determine your future. The choices to let go or hold on to people/things in your life also determine the situations you are placed in. If you haven’t noticed, everything you do in your life has a domino effect, many people call this good or bad “karma”, call it what you want but no matter what it's YOU that makes the choices and there will always be some sort of outcome from the choices that you’ve made. Many times we try to blame others or certain situations for why our lives aren’t right or why things aren’t going our way, but at the end of the day it’s you who made the choice to keep or get rid of certain people or things in your life, it’s you that made the choice to continue negative behavior no one else. Once we realize that it’s us that can make our lives better and become more accountable for our actions our lives will become more understandable, not easy but understandable. We will be able to see things with a clear view and be able to make better choices. The older we get the more wiser we should become, but if we continue to make the same mistakes we have no growth, so as you get older become more selective with the situations you place yourself in, be picky with who you choose to associate with because if things go wrong there is no one else to blame but yourself. This week lets try to be more accountable for the things we say and the things we do, accountability is one of the first steps in improving behavior.

For your eyes only

Every persons reality is different. Your eyes have only seen what you’ve seen, your hands have only touched what you’ve touched, and your mind only thinks what you think. Remember these facts when you feel like you have to compare yourself to someone else, your walk is different, your talk is different, therefore you can’t even compare yourself to anyone else or anyone else’s experiences. Trust that the experiences you have been through will lead you to wherever you need to go, never compare or contrast your life with someone else’s because you’ll never fully understand how they got to where they are nor will they understand how you got to where you are. When you compare you put a damper on your experiences through life to see someone else’s life through your own eyes and at that point you are living someone else’s reality, not yours. 

Frame of Mind

Live your life without bounds. There are no limits to what you can do. Whatever you put your mind to and have passion for is attainable to you, no matter what you’ve been through and no matter where you've come from.  In order to live like this it starts with your mindset, how you view yourself, and how you view others as well. A negative mind set will only bring you down, telling yourself you can’t do something is just you not supporting your own self. If you don’t support yourself there’s no way others will fully support you. You have to believe in yourself before anyone else can believe in you, you are your best spokesperson. If you notice you’re being negative about certain things in your life or you just want change in your life, change your mindset, figure out who you are, take time to figure out what you like and what you want in life, not just the surface... what you really want, where you see yourself years from now and then do something about it. You can't just sit around and wait for something to change in your life, you have to get up make things happen for yourself.  It will be challenging but it starts with finding yourself, knowing yourself, and then staying true to yourself, don’t get distracted with what's happening around you and what you see everyday, having a strong mindset will battle off any adverse thought that comes to your mind.

Self Respect

The energy you give out is the energy you receive. When others don’t show you the same respect that you’ve given them don’t fall short of yourself, stay true to who you are, allowing someone’s attitude or demeanor towards you effect who you are as a person only brings you down. If you put out  positive energy and respect others as you want to be respected, blessings come back to you ten fold. Harboring negative energy will only bring negative things into your life. With that being said be happy, be thankful, and most importantly be respectful you never know what someone is battling and each encounter with someone counts. So this week try to be respectful to others no matter your feelings or their feelings towards you, you can only control your emotions not theirs.
