Don’t let “what if” hold you back.  Confront you fears.  Fear can be difficult for many of us for many reasons.  Many times we do not understand the source of our fears and therefore we have a hard time letting go.  Sometimes we experience secondary gain from holding onto fear, pain and anxiety, which brings them attention and fulfills an unmet need.  Many of us who feel their fear is hindering part of their life may require additional help resources to learn to let go.  Don’t be afraid to contact a professional, this person can be the key to releasing overwhelming fear and its hold on one’s personal life. 

I realize fear is nothing more than “false evidence appearing real”.  At the end of the day what we often fear is never painful as our imaginations would have us believe.  Fear can also be described as a shadow that lurks behind every bright light in life.  Shadows can’t hurt us; they just cast a dark outlook on life.  When you realize that fear will always show up, you can choose to take away its power.  Action and faith is the key to combating fear because “sometimes in life you just have to just go for it.”

Only you can decide how long you will allow fear to keep you ensconced in the confined of your comfort zones.  Take a deep breath and close your eyes and “let go”.  Once you do this you cannot be stopped!  Cheers!

Our relationships are vital to our mental well-being. However, toxic relationships can really do a number on our happiness and outlook on life. As a result, it is important to look for individuals who possess qualities that allow for healthy relationships. Although, once again, not an exhaustive list, the qualities listed below are those that should be at the very heart of a healthy relationship. And, just as you would expect your friend, family member or loved one to display these qualities, it is just as important to reciprocate.

1. Loyalty: Whether it’s in friendships or in family, loyalty is truly important to maintain a healthy relationship. All of us are guilty, at one time or another, of making mistakes, having ups and downs, and even displaying some behavior that we may not always be proud of. When we find friends or loved ones who can forgive us and stand by us…even during our worst moments…we should be especially grateful. That said, loyalty should never be taken for granted and we should always be deeply appreciative when it comes our way.

2. Respect: Treating others with kindness and the respect they deserve is important in gaining the respect that WE desire. It never feels good to be taken for granted, judged or used and it doesn’t feel good to be talked down to or treated rudely or inappropriately. There will be times that we may not always have full agreement with our friends or loved ones, but respecting them along the way is a must.

3. Unconditionally There: There is nothing worse than having someone always resurface in your life when they are in need, are looking for something or need a favor. In a culture of “you scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours,” it is somewhat rare to find those “who just scratch your back,” period. Finding individuals who want you in their lives just because…and not because they want something in return is refreshing and worth holding on to. Those who are generous of heart are to be treasured!

Cheers!

We are all deliberate creators of our lives. Some of us are just existing but not living. News flash: Continue living your life as a victim and focusing on what’s wrong with everything and placing blame on everyone will only bring more of what you DON’T want into your life.

How ’bout looking in the mirror and starting there. Where we are right this very second is because of what we have done in our past. The fairy tale that you are finally living is very possible. You can do a 360 with your career, your business and your relationships when you are not sleep-walking through life. Sadly, some of us have been brainwashed to think that most of our desires are not only self-serving egotistical no-no’s but absurdly impossible. Well, they are all possible, if we just believe in our destiny and ourselves.  Cheers!

Success comes naturally for you.  You have a vision about you & your life that nobody else can see.  In order to continue on your path to success you must “GET AND KEEP YOUR MIND RIGHT”.  Gaining a healthy mind is the best present one could ever give themselves.  Emotional freedom often involves giving up something minor in order to gain something major.  When the mind is free, everything else begins to just flow.  God is then able to do all the things he was waiting to do through you.  We must align ourselves with our higher power, so that you can hear and see clearly what your purpose and the journey facing you, to your success.  Remember emotional health is your path to wealth.

 Tips that should prepare you for success:

• Make a list of things that inspire you.
• Recognize your inner beauty and all the qualities you have.
• Make a list of the “blessing blockers” these are the people, things, and places that tend you make you lose focus on your purpose and block your blessings.  Stay away from them!
• Make a list of things that help you get through difficult days, keep that list close to you so that in those moments you know what to do to escape.
• Remember we all must have an end goal in life to work towards.  Even if you get off track, at least, you know where you ultimately want to land.  Stay true to yourself!
