'UNLEASH YOUR BEST!'


"What you think, you become. What you feel you attract. What you imagine, you create." ~ Buddha ~
"What you think, you become. What you feel you attract. What you imagine, you create." ~ Buddha ~

Here we are embarking upon and Brand-New Year; a time in which most People seize as an opportunity for a fresh start, to begin something new or simply just to start over. Very often we make a declaration to what we call 'My New Year's Resolution'; so, usually we make personal commitments revolving around health, finances and family. We vow to eat better, exercise more, quit smoking or drinking, budget better, save more money, waste less money, spend more time with family and the list goes on and on; by the end of January most of the resolutions have been broken and you decide to try again the following month. Before you know it, half the year is gone and you have done the exact opposite of what you set out to achieve. So, what causes one to make such dedicated commitments but are not able to see them through? When you made the commitment to change, you meant it, so what happened? Most of the time when we observe changes that we need to make in our lives; we speak from our head space, but the desire to make it a realization has not taken root within our hearts. Therefore, just having a willingness to change is not enough to bring about your desired outcome; there must be a shift in your mindset to solidify the change. Consider why you want to make the change, like what benefit will it add to your life? How will it make you feel to achieve the changes you desire? Is the change you need to make vital for the wellbeing of your health or family? These considerations give you meanings that are tangible, to hold you accountable to keeping your commitments. The desired changes now become embedded within your heart, meaning it has taken root and now can manifest into your reality.


The aspiration to change has to take root within your heart in order to replace what's currently there, which is the result of repeated behaviors that formed into habits. Habits usually come about as a result of a void that we're trying to fill. In most cases these habits are far more damaging to our health than they may appear to be; or what we are willing to admit to ourselves. Sometimes, the changes that you've been unsuccessful at achieving could be putting your health at risk. Therefore, it shouldn't be taken lightly and realizing the urgency of the matter is of upmost importance. Unfortunately, sometimes it can be too late, and any changes made wouldn't make a difference; so, if the opportunity to change is still possible, then you should not neglect to take advantage of the chance to do so. For example: You've been a heavy drinker for years and now the Doctor tells you that your liver is failing; now you decide to quit but it is too late because the decline has already begun. Regardless, your mind is made up, and you are determined to stop drinking because now you see the reality of what will happen. This same determination must be applied when we want to bring about change and especially if it's a detriment to your health.


It's important to take control of what you think and how you feel about yourself; because what you think about yourself that is what you will become. So, if you think of yourself as a failure, a nobody or worthless, then that is what you will manifest. However, if you see yourself as being successful, valuable or significant, then you can be just that. After those thoughts become fixed within your mind; you'll begin to feel it within and then you'll attract experiences that will enhance those feelings. Before you know it, you'll be imagining all types of possibilities and opportunities that you can easily see coming into fruition. At which point, you're not just in your head thinking about what you'll like to portray, but you are so focused that you're actively pursuing them.


It's been said that a mind is a terrible thing to waste, so if you neglect to put forth the appropriate actions and take full control over your mind, then it will be a waste. Just like when you get behind the wheel of a car, first you have to be focused on what you're about to do, then you should have a destination in mind; if you choose to drive without a destination or with an unfocused or altered mindset then you may end up someplace where you don't need to be and wondering how you got there. You could end up in a ditch, crashing into another vehicle or driving off the cliff. This is what living life frivolously with no real direction or destination in mind could land you; in places that you have no intention of being or in places you shouldn't be. With that been said, we should make sure that our thinking and choices doesn't work to our demise.


And, what about those changes that needs to be made regarding your character, personality and the quality of life you live? What does it matter if you save more money or spend less, exercise or not to exercise when there is no love in your hearts? The things we place importance on will determines our true character and where the abundance of our hearts lie. So, are you willing to completely surrender your ways that you may live Whole Heartily unto the Ways of God?


(Matthew 6:21) "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."


Our thinking patterns and appetites are intertwined; that which we consider as our heart's desires, wants and pleasures. The story that I'm about to speak of is a true one, short but true: A man who is married goes to the store and on the way back to his car, he sees an attractive woman and approaches her; after talking awhile the woman invites him to her house that night and he accepts. All of a sudden, the door opens and it's the woman's boyfriend; an argument leads to a fight and the boyfriend shoots and kill him. This becomes unfortunate information that the wife learns about over the News. What holds your attention will become implanted within your heart and is eventually displayed outwardly; if not careful some of your thinking could lead to a deadly outcome, and literally. Having a balanced mindset is essential or you may find yourself being consumed by strong desires, urges or cravings and blindly moving about with no directions in mind.





"Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things will be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33)
"Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things will be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33)

The goal is to 'Unleash' the best version of yourself and after realizing that you've been heading the wrong way; you've concluded that it is past time to do so, and you begin by mentally hitting that 'Reset Button'. That button that offers you a clean slate to think smarter, make wiser choices and to live from the space of your heart. This means that the new beginning you seek can be found within; in you dwells the 'Spark of God', which is the key for you to take hold of and allow your heart to burn with Passion. A passion to Love and to walk in the Righteousness of God. God dwells within you, making it possible for you to walk in your Divine Nature; in so much that your walk becomes worship and you become your own Sacred Space. So sacred that even your shadow side is sacred because you learn to merge the light and dark within; this brings your mind and heart to a place of balance that you develop compassion towards those parts of yourself that you frown upon. You must learn how to integrate the darkness with the light instead of judging yourself; otherwise, this will lead to negative thinking towards your own self, causing you to place upon yourself limited potentials and possibilities. This gives way for you to live your most authentic self, with no need to pretend; shedding away everything that causes you to feel small or inadequate. That performance kept you in a mode of survival with the inability to heal, grow and liberate your Soul. When you learn to understand your own energy; nothing outside of you has the power to disconnect you from yourself again.


Living your Truth is your own personal signature because no one else carries your energetic makeup the way your truth does. So, when you live in your truths, you cause your frequency to be elevated; everything in life stems from the vibration you put out into the Universe. Therefore, it's necessary to set your feet on the right Path and is the first step to achieving your Heart's desire; 'Reset, Refocus, Readjust, Restart' as many times as you need to; just don't ever give up. For you are inherently sacred and your desires will lead you home; you'll find home when you find comfort, contentment and peace within, between you and your Soul. You must put forth the effort to let go, release and heal from all of your wounds; which begins with a willing mind to push that reset button. Especially, when you can clearly see that you are in desperate need of a major do over; and when you're willing to put in the necessary work, then that's a movement towards a demonstration of Self-love. Having self-love is essential for becoming the best version of yourself: Love is the Master Key that opens the Gate of Happiness; being happy is knowing you have the power to choose what to accept and what to let go of. Just never put the key to your happiness in someone else's hands. Love outside of yourself is not about just being in love with one person, but it's about developing love towards all of humanity. Being sound in your thinking, true and honest towards Self as well as others will open doors for good things to come your way.


(Philippians 4:8) "Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever, things are lovely, whatsoever things are of a good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."





"Everything happens for a reason. That reason causes change. Sometimes the change hurts. Sometimes the change is hard. But in the end its all for the best."                                                                    ~ Buddha ~
"Everything happens for a reason. That reason causes change. Sometimes the change hurts. Sometimes the change is hard. But in the end its all for the best." ~ Buddha ~

I found myself in situations and circumstances where I felt Stuck, Hopeless and Powerless. No Peace, Joy nor Happiness….Giving but not receiving….Fight or Flight, Sink or Swim...something had to give. Until one day I decided...Enough is Enough! Then I realized that if I wanted change...I would have to be that change! And Guess What? I Did!!! I changed my world from the inside out! Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes...FREE AS A BIRD! As I reflect back on my Life's Journey, I realize that there are others that have been down that same road. So, I'm here to tell you that there is hope, change is possible and "YOU POSSESS THE POWER!" You don't know who you are anymore and your world is turned upside down; you find yourself in the middle of nowhere! You may ask yourself, How did I get here? And how do I get out? Good questions and you've asked the right person…"Yourself"! So, travel with me on this Journey to Self, to Soar to Greatness and Discover the Treasures within your Soul! The Life, Death and Rebirth of You! 


Let's begin with what has brought us to this place of Reset; God who has gifted Himself unto the World, that through him you might obtain Redemption. This is God's Promise to all who desires to be restored back unto Him and to receive the inheritance of your 'Birthright Blessing'; which is to live according to your Divine Nature and to be liberated in your mind, heart, body and Soul. This is also and assurance that God is always with you; therefore, what God has birthed outwardly is being presented unto you as an opportunity for you to birth inwardly. Don't neglect such great of a 'Gift' by looking at the source of which God has chosen to bring about His Gift.


(Mark 6:3) "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, Joses, Juda and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him."


Jesus' siblings did not receive him as the Messiah, just like a lot of people did not. They expected him to come in a manner that resembled 'Royalty' and because he did not, they rejected him. If he had been one that reflected Riches, then they would have followed him for the wrong reason. For God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise and the weak things to confound the things which are mighty. However, what they didn't realize until it was too late, is that the Royalty and Treasures were within him; for the Lord sees not as man sees. For man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the Heart. Because their eyes were blinded, they missed out on their Salvation. When you chow down on your T-Bone Steak, are you concerned about if it came from the left side or the right side of the Cow; or when you're sucking on your Barbeque Ribs, are you worried about how much slop the Pig ate? I think notttt! So, why are you concerned about who God has Chosen? So, don't miss out on your blessing because you got your eyes on me; for it will indeed be a great loss for you. Therefore, I suggest that you use Wisdom and receive God's Grace, that he has freely made available unto you. Although, change may not be easy to accept or to undergo, it usually deems necessary and, in this case, it is essential. Anytime we're presented with change, Fear has the potential to surface but we shouldn't fear change but be willing to let go of what may appear to be good, that we may embrace that which is better for us. This means being willing to die to your old way of thinking, feeling or behaving, that you may be able to give life to a new way of thinking, feeling and behaving. Although Many may be undergoing and dealing with hardship, this time of Reset is vital and necessary; for the Earth is making her Final Shift and the inhabitants of the Earth will Energetically feel this Force to Change. Nevertheless, you must push through these difficult times and embrace the Changes that are approaching. During this time, frustration and vexation will rise but you have to make peace with the situation; meaning that you have to accept and embrace where you are. Otherwise, these annoyances will become greatly overwhelming and consume you with other disappointing behaviors. So, if you don't willing accept the current circumstances you will only bring defeat unto yourself and prolong the changes needed. These feelings will resurface over and over, and you have to make that mental adjustment as many times as necessary until you fully and completely come to a place of acceptance. Then and only then will you have Peace in the midst of your Storm.


"Anything our mind is completely convinced of will manifest instantaneously."

~ Rhonda Byrne ~


So don't fill your mind with doubt, fear or Superstitious means; with that being said, know that superstition is deeply rooted in fear. If I do this, then that will happen or if I don't do that, then this will happen; this is Bondage of the mind and does not demonstrate Faith and Trust in God or Yourself. So, when you become fully persuaded in your mind that you can accomplish a thing then you make it possible to achieve it; for your mind is the soil of the body and whatever you plant into it will take root and grow. Regardless of if the seed is of good or evil, it will manifest; so, we should be sure to sow only what we desire to reap and not to become overwhelmed and bound by superstition.


The Power to Overcome Fear 

Fear opposes change and can be our worst enemy because it keeps us in a mental state of imprisonment. When we are bogged down by fear we are unable to facilitate the necessary changes needed in our lives. Changes that help us to evolve, grow and manifest even our biggest dreams. Fear doesn't occupy the same space with Courage for its afraid you will become strong enough to leave it. Fear will keep you pinned to a job that you dread having to go to...being afraid to take that leap towards something better. It will keep you Stuck in a relationship that's…...Killing You Softly! Blinded by loving another and refusing to love yourself. Fear cripples us by keeping us clinging to the past, denying the present and terrified of the future. It keeps our mind trapped and stuck in a maze of confusion, just like a hamster on a wheel.....running in circles but going nowhere. Picture this! "You're going to a job Monday through Friday and sometimes on weekends but you dread being there. And at the surface level you really don't know why...You like your boss and the money is good...so what is it? And on the other hand, you've been wanting to start your own business….And the thought of that makes you feel really good on the inside. It feels so liberating, You feel free...And You know deep down it's the right move for you, but why aren't you moving? You find yourself thinking about all the reasons why it won't work and all the things that could go wrong…..finally going to that job is weighing you down more and more...it fills like your life is being drained from you. Now you're being haunted over and over again about starting your own business….You don't know it yet but your Inner Truth which is your 'Heart's True Desire', is calling unto you to make this change...After tormenting yourself whether to stay or leave and knowing already what you should do, you finally muster up enough courage to tell your boss that you'll be leaving….finally you did it and it feels like a ton of bricks have been lifted off you! Five years down the road, you look back and you're glad that you made that bold move….There were some challenging times, but you would do it all over again!


When you allow fear to control you, taking action has taken a back seat and nothing can drive you forward. In the meanwhile, your Happiness, Joy and Peace will be parked. You're stuck and unable to move...For how long? Until you are ready…..Ready to get off that hamster wheel, ready to release all the things that keeps your mind captive…..All the excuses you gave yourself for not embracing change. Overcoming fear requires a leap of faith. That Huge... Big Step that causes you to come face to face with your fears. Looking into the mirror of your Soul and seeing what you've been avoiding….the Truth. That living in fear is a matter of choice and is bondage of the mind….your own self-imposed prison. We may not be able to control a lot of things in our lives...but taking control over fear is one thing we must do. For if you don't govern it, it will govern you. Don't be a slave to fear...free yourself and liberate your mind, heart, body and Soul. Your Soul craves freedom: release fear and allow your Soul to soar!


Facing and Overcoming Challenges

I was watching 'Little House On The Prairie', the Episode of when Mary goes blind; when she first became blind, she was filled with fear, resentment, anger, bitterness and self-pity. She was mean towards her family whenever they tried to help her maneuver throughout their home. In her mind, her life as she knew it was over and her dream of becoming a teacher was now dead. Her parents concluded that it was best to send her away to a School for the Blind. The day came for her to leave, and the family gathered with her to bid her farewell; she had a very bad attitude and refused to acknowledge them. Mary had given up, her world had gone dark, and she could see no hope in sight; because she had convinced herself that her life was now useless. Her first day at school, she gave the Teacher (Adam)hell, but he read her real good and she eventually straitened up her act. Within a month's time, she learned how to read, rely upon her other senses and perform the day-to-day basic things for herself. Mary had completely embraced her unexpected dilemma and turned her challenges into Victory. By the end of her three months training, Her and Adam fell in love and as they were acknowledging their feelings towards each other; she learns that Adam is also blind, and then they decide to start up their own school to teach blind children. When Mary reconnects with her family, she states that she is happier than she has ever been. She found new meanings to life and learned the importance of facing and overcoming challenges; unfortunate mishaps doesn't mean that your life is over, you can still make your dreams come true. Everything that happens in our lives is for a Reason and a Purpose, even when it seems too hard to bear; nothing happens to us, but everything happens for us.


(Psalm 30:5) "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." The nighttime are those difficult moments that we encounter in our lives, however long that may be; but your morning comes when you choose to let go of the pain, hurt or sorrow that comes along with these challenges. When you surrender and trust that God is bigger than your problem, only then will you be able to experience the Joy even in the midst of Hardship.


The Power of Thought 

In the beginning of time, the Earth was without form, void and darkness was upon the face of the deep; then the Spirit of God moved upon the waters. God said, "Let there be light" and there was light. God saw and observed the conditions of his surroundings, how the Earth lie in waste and was displeased, so he spoke light into the midst of Her. God pondered the conditions of the Earth and concluded that a change was needed, and with the power of his tongue, he called forth light. However, this would not have occurred without there first being a thought and the vision to facilitate this great change. Just like God, we possess the Power to Change….We can change our situations, our circumstances, our life and our world. All this can happen when we change the way we look at things and change the way we think...again, our thoughts are like seeds and will produce a harvest according to what we plant… so if your thoughts are positive, you will have positive results and likewise if your thoughts are negative, you will produce a negative crop.  The seeds that you plant will be the foundation for which you will rebuild your life upon; so, your mind will be the vehicle of change for the rest of your body. So, decide what seeds that you will plant and consider the typed of changes you want to manifest and create in your life, to make it better.


Mind Control 

You may be wondering...what is this mind control about? Well, I'm about to tell you…. In order to have control over your life you must first control what thoughts that you allow to occupy your mind. Everything we hear or see has the potential to be a seed sown into our mind space. You must become the Guard over your mind...every thought must obtain your permission before entering. And you should carefully consider every thought before allowing admission. Stand with your shot gun loaded and shoot down every thought that's up to no good…..Once inside it goes to work immediately wasting no time blooming! Make your thoughts count for something worthwhile. Strive to grow a garden that will bring abundance to your Soul; block out and reject those thoughts that will only lead you to a failed crop......sometimes you may entertain thoughts that are not edifying, and you may clearly foresee that these thoughts can lead you to act out of character. Yet you allow them to roam throughout your mind freely without casting them down. Instead, you should be guarding and protecting your mind; for this is the warfare between the Spirit and Flesh and the one you feed the most will Rule.


This is the time to exercise mind control, or you may find yourself with a Harvest of Regret with no clue how to pluck it up! Let's look at it from another perspective...what about those thoughts that's been with you ever since you can remember life. Most likely the lies that you embraced as your truths. You were told that you were dumb, ugly, too fat, too skinny or too black...or perhaps loved ones hurt you badly and you're still trying to wrap your mind around it...whatever it was, you never felt like you measured up! As you got older the list got longer…. You find yourself tormented because of bad choices made in the past….and you just can't seem to get it out your mind. You subconsciously seek validation to feel worthy. I tell you today you are worthy, you just gotta know it for yourself.….we can't change the past, but we can make the change to move forward. Make up your mind to let it go. It's time to take control and set your mind free...let go of all of that which have held control over your mind. Don't allow the negative stuff to hold you captive any longer. The seeds that take root in your mind is totally up to you and you possess the power to choose. If you want to plant the right seeds you must release the old and make room to plant them. You can't plant good seeds if you're allowing negative thoughts to occupy space within your mind.


(James 1:8)"A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."





"A wandering mind dissipates all your energy. Hold one thought, and you have concentrated energy and instant manifesting power."                                       ~ Rhonda Byrne ~

Transforming Your Mind

When you attempt to plant new seeds on top of old ones that needs to be plucked up, it will only cause you to be unstable; this will prevent you from properly building for yourself a firm foundation within. The goal is to build within yourself a strong mindset and then align your heart to match. This means that you have to make a conscious and intentional effort to bring them into alignment. Otherwise, your mind will be vulnerable to wander, causing you to become unbalanced and unable to achieve or manifest your desired outcome.


First you want to set the intention to receive and embrace the Gift that God has made available unto you; by holding one thought at a time, you bring about the changes needed in your life. You inquire Wisdom through your experiences and when you take knowledge and apply it to your life, you begin to transform your mind; allowing your thoughts to be empowered through God's Wisdom, Guidance, Knowledge, Insight and Understanding; qualities that will add Joy, Peace, Strength and Vitality, that you may be encouraged, to stimulate growth and Self-Love. These will cause you to be fruitful and to multiply, for your Temple is the 'Tree of Life'. This will assist you to Grow, Develop, Increase, Enlarge, Do Much and become Greatly Empowered. As you nourish your temple you consecrate yourself unto God; in doing so you purify your thoughts and feelings, which ultimately alters your course of actions. In transforming your mind, you raise your consciousness giving you the ability to think with clarity; you begin to see from a different perspective because your awareness has been heightened. This leads to a shift in your thinking: those things that you once rationalized in your thinking process, doesn't make sense and now they seem foolish or unimportant. Your inner eye is opening, and your seeing is accompanied with a knowing or realization; this is Wisdom at work in your life, Remolding, Remaking and Reshaping your conscience. All of which are designed to set you upon a Path to your 'Spiritual Rebirth', which is also your Inheritance and is rightfully yours to receive.


When your mind is transformed, your body must follow: therefore, your heart then begins to desire those things that are in alignment with the 'Will of God' for your life. You're motivated to take a firm stance on Righteousness and take possession of Sound Judgment towards Integrity and Morality. You become compelled to Live and Speak your Truths and you acquire strong convictions that persuade your actions for the Good. It is essential that you consciously become One with the Earth and with All things: this means that you become One with things such as Love, Gratefulness, Thankfulness and Prayerfulness. You don't just Love, you become Love, you don't just show Gratitude, you become Gratitude and likewise you become Thankful and Prayerful. Your Life is not separate from these Qualities, but you exist as these. When you live your life with a Grateful Heart, you attract positive experiences and abundance; you then become a magnet for wonder and amazement.





"Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." (Colossians 3:2)
"Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." (Colossians 3:2)

Now let's talk about Prayer: Usually, when People pray, they get down on their knees, say what they have to say and then they're done; you wouldn't get on the telephone, say what you have to say and then hang up. Prayer is a two-way communication: it is a conversation that goes back and forth between the Parties involved. Also, prayer is usually done out of requirement and obligation, due to Religious teachings but it shouldn't be; it should be done willingly, from the heart, with gratitude and thankfulness. Most do not take the time to hear from God and therefore, the practiced form of Prayer is ineffective. In addition, when your life is pleasing unto God, it is not necessary to ask God for material things. He already knows what we need and will provide for us, when we find ourselves in times of need. It's very common for People to pray for a mate or a spouse but even then, it's not necessary. God knows what you desire, he knows your heart, so your responsibility would be to live a life of Righteousness, whole heartily unto God. While you Trust and wait for him to fulfil your Heart's Desire, use that time to build yourself; so that you may be prepared and ready to enter into a Relationship. Regardless of what the desire or need is God will answer at the Appointed Time; sometimes God will delay change in your life, then show up just in time, just that he may build your Faith and Trust in him. On the other hand, sometimes it's just not your 'Season For Change' and this is when we exercise Patience and have unwavering Faith that it will all work out for your good. So, Trust that God has your best interest at Heart and knows what you have need of, even before you ask; we must walk in the knowing that God Will Provide. What we should be doing is rendering unto God Love, Gratitude and Thankfulness, instead of asking him for stuff. If you need Guidance and Instructions, then pray; otherwise use your time in prayer as an opportunity to Pray for others and sincerely, not just because you think it's the right thing to do.


One morning I got ready to Pray but truthfully, I just didn't feel like it. I realized that I was praying out of obligation and God said unto me, "This is not what I want" Then he went on to say, "Talk to me when you desire to talk to me" and that's when I came to understand that my life is to become One with God and with All things. Therefore, the essence of my existence becomes One with Prayer, Thankfulness, Gratitude and Life itself; however, when I do Pray, I commune with God in my Heart upon my bed. A time in which I interact with him whole heartily, to worship, adore and give him praise, that I may be immersed in heartfelt intimacy. During this time, I enter deep within my heart space, reflect on God's Goodness, how much I Love, and Appreciate him; a time of unified consciousness, so I can share my pain, hurt, disappointments and sorrow, which is usually a very emotional time, when I can heal, release and rejuvenate my Heart and Soul. Prayer out of obligation does not come close to in comparison and I'm grateful that God showed me the right way to fellowship with him. This form of prayer does not consist of a multitude of words, but it is stillness before God where you can hear him speak to your heart.


(Psalm 4:4) "Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed and be still."


There was a time when I was frustrated because I didn't have a home to call my own, a place to share with my grandchildren, to have their pictures placed throughout the home; but then I realized that I still had so much to be thankful for; I got my hands, I got my feet, I got my eyes, I can see, I got my mouth, I can speak, I got a roof over my head and I got my LIFE. Furthermore, I was greatly enlightened, when I came to understand that my home is within me; when you obtain Harmony and Oneness with your Soul, you are then made complete and that is home. That was the most liberating moment of my whole Journey because this realization filled my heart with Peace. From that day and forward, I never had any thoughts or concern about things that I currently don't have in my life. So, there is no need to ask God to alter things in my life because when I do, I put myself in a place of expectancy and with a timetable for when it should manifest. This only leads to disappointments, so instead I chose to come to a place of acceptance. I do not allow wants and desires to enter my mind space and if a thought crosses my mind, I immediately reject it. I decided to remove these aspirations because the things I was praying for were not coming to fruition; year after year and yet my circumstances were still the same. This caused me to be overwhelmed with frustration and disappointment and sometimes becoming angry; I was angry with the situation, angry because of tiredness of suffering and angry with God. This took, away my joy, peace and happiness and I didn't like the way this ordeal made me feel; so, I chose to be content in my present set of circumstances. That's when I decided to eliminate the need to want altogether and especially with the understanding of how energy works; so, if I remained in that low vibrational frequency, I would attract unto myself other unfavorable experiences. Eventually, I came to understand that the 'Season' had not come for the changes I desired to manifest. With that being said, everything has a Fixed Time, a Set Time, an Appointed Time or a Divine Time and you will remain in whatever Place of Position you're currently in until your Season of Change arrives. In addition, I learned that there were still lessons I needed to learn; so, the bottom line is, I had to develop Patience and maintain my Faith and Trust in God, throughout this Journey. I do not acknowledge what is not as lack anymore; I accept that it's just not time for them to manifest. I do all that I can do to change my situation and that which I am not able to change, I trust it into the Hands of God. I'm sure many of you can agree that prolonged wants and desires only lead to frustration.  However, I am fully persuaded that if I walk upright before God then there is no good thing that he would withhold from me; and if I continue to put my trust in Him and stand strong, I will reap my blessings in due season.


Changes in our lives often does not occur because we give too much thought to the things we cannot change, and we neglect the opportunity to change what we can. When you are in a situation where you are unable to physically manifest change, then this is when you have to embrace acceptance…..this may not aways be easy to do but it's essential to your journey to move you forward on your path. Otherwise, you may find yourself stuck and void of peace. Next you should focus on what you can change and then pursue it with all diligence. Eventually, you will find yourself at a state of Peace….in mind and heart, liberating your Soul…. 



The Serenity Prayer is a great model for us to use to bring about the desired changes in our lives…. 

God, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, 

Courage to change the things I can, 

and Wisdom to know the difference. 


The Serenity Prayer is what I used to help me when I first started on my Spiritual Journey.



(Philippians 4:11) "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be

content."


(Galatians 6:9) "Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season you will reap if you don't give up."


(Psalms 84:11) "For the Lord God is a sun and shield, the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly."



Your life may seem hopeless, and you may feel as though you are all alone; perhaps you don't have much and even have lack concerning the basic things in life. Now you feel as though God has abandoned you; In spite of it all find it in your Heart to be Grateful and Thankful that you still have your LIFE. If you can do that, you will attract Good Things into your life; these favorable opportunities will bring about the Changes that you need. Eventually, things will turn around, and the struggles will be a Testimony of God's Grace and Love. In addition, God said that he would never leave you nor forsake you. It is US that walk away from him and if you need to renew your relationship with God, then do it today; RESET and UNLEASH YOUR BEST, that you may have REST for your Soul!
