Hello Monday.

Good Morning Dudes and Dolls!

Happy Monday. I hope that your weekend was swell. Mine was eventful. I renewed friendships. Rethought some things and as always refocused my energy into a positive space. What is going on in your life? What do you need to renew this week. Where do you need to start over? Begin this week renewing your vows to yourself. Mondays don't have to be a headache. They can surely become a beautiful journey. Just take it as a new beginning. Peace Love and Happiness.

Chart your own Course

I just want to pause for a moment on the word 'invent' because the phrase isn't 'succeed in the future,' it's not 'plan for the future' or 'do the best you can in the future.' It's 'invent the future.' And with those three words comes a simple message: a call to chart your own course and live life on your own terms... In the end, it's up to each of us to define ourselves. It's up to each of us to invent our own future with the choices we make and the actions we take.

Work Hard people. Things are not handed to us. A lesson that I am learning. Work for it, sweat for it, cry for it. Just GET IT DONE.

ReThink[ing] MYSELF

Good Morning Dudes and Dolls,

So I have been a huge hiatus. Kind of an Eat, Pray, Love type of stent. And guess what. I ate WAY too much. I have found the love of my life and I am digging deeper in my relationship with Christ to be able to live the greater life that God wants me to live. So as I was gearing up to "spring into action" and begin to write again I said hmmm. How can I charge people and ask people to rethink their lifestyles, when I just completed my own ReThinking Process. So this post just serves to show you my recommitment to you all to help you not only Rethink yourself but also Rethink different issues to weigh in on different topics and possibly help us all to Rethink everyday issues, topics and concerns. So I am beginning to REshape Rethink[ing] and I hope that you all will be along for the journey as we add to our little family. Thank you for your commitment thus far.

Our theme for this year will be "Decide that you want it more, than you are afraid of it" -Bill Cosby

Lets Go!!!

Timing Is Everything

This Emotional Life, here we go again with the revamping of me, with the revamping of this blog. You know I planned to blog at least twice weekly. Said to myself that I would be committed that I would be disciplined that I would focus in. I just knew that I was on the right track. That my PLANS were perfect. That I had finally found my niche.  Well....

If I may be transparent. Let's say that God laughed at my plans. And so I got stuck. I battled the Lord and said hey I got this. You gave me the goods now let me handle the rest. Well needless to say. I know that I need to HIT rockbottom in order to hear God. So he shook my world up a little bit. Startled mr. Removed people and things from my Life that I began to worship and put before him.

So I had go RETHINK my plan. I had to RETHINK my purpose and I had to RETHINK would I placed as sovereign.

So now here we go again. I believe that I have bumped my head enough to realize what I need to do <--- that was more me telling God. But here I go once again. But I am sure that you will enjoy this journey with me. I challenge you to answer the questions that I ask my self. Respond send your praises and your regrets.

Join me on this Journey to Right. Be blessed.

Proverbs 16:1-4

Don't you dare let the magnitude of your fears send you back to dry land. Keep moving out deeper, Keep reaching up. 

What are you RUNNING from?

Recently I woke up with what felt like the weight of the world on my shoulders and my heart. It's was like the faith that I had along the way had suddenly become non existent. It was as if for a matter of 45 minutes, I had forgot all about this God that I have been professing to love unconditionally and trusting with all of my heart. Then I read some notes from a recent service at my church. I prayed and realized that all of my circumstances were because I had chosen to go against Gods will. And ultimately I needed to stop running from those things. I don't always like to confront things head on so I avoid them at all cost. But now it's time to get it together. 

I have made up my mind to stop running to confront my fears and fear of failures and move forward head on. 

So I ask you to ask yourself what are you running from? Finances, broken relationships, purity? Whatever your silent battle is decide to turn it around today. The recovery will not be as easy as the adventure was. But the end reward will be worthwhile. Who doesn't want peace of mind? Who doesn't want to start a new. So you go forward and you move forward in the spirit.  Pray about everything. Worry about nothing. 

Stop running.
