"Our heavenly Father understands our disappointment, suffering, pain, fear, and doubt. He is always there to encourage our hearts and help us understand that He's sufficient for all of our needs. When I accepted this as an absolute truth in my life, I found that my worrying stopped." Charles Stanley Doubt can rob you of your dreams, of becoming more educated, and of future growth and development. It paralyzes you and prevents action, courage and bravery... all key elements to becoming a champion in life and business. It can cause you to create opinions and beliefs without even pursuing the doubt, or worse, without educating yourself on the thing you doubt. Call to Action: When you doubt something or yourself, ask questions about the subject, learn about it, educate yourself, ask for help from someone you trust or admire, etc... there are many ways you can PURSUE YOUR DOUBTS. Don't sit on the sidelines like everyone else when a doubt arises. You owe it to yourself and ...

"Someone once said holding resentment toward another person is like drinking arsenic and hoping the person you are resenting dies. Buddha put it another way: “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else—you are the one who gets burned.” This helps put it into perspective, doesn't it?  It is the mental and emotional act of resending toxic and negative energy through our own minds and bodies, repeatedly. This is not to diminish the fact that many of us may have legitimate reasons to be angry towards another person. Sometimes people do thoughtless and even cruel things to each other. However, stop and think about it: Does holding onto resentment serve YOU in a positive, life affirming way? Most likely, the answer is no. In many cases, the person or people we hold in resentment don’t even know or care...or worse yet, some of them are already in the grave but we are still allowing them to hold us hostage to the past. What ...

I can't tell you how much joy and satisfaction I get from loving others, but it's only because I love myself. I have questioned that love many times only because I felt as though there were times that I would self sacrifice and give my all to others, but only to feel left depleted after when things didn't always work out the way they were suppose to. I think we all have felt this way whether with a friend, relative or most commonly, a significant other.  Here are some things I practice in loving myself that I find that work especially after going through disappointments. Give it a shot and do it daily and watch it change your whole outlook and perspective in life. #LOLOKNOWS 1.  Begin your day  with love (not technology).  Remind yourself of your worthiness before getting out of bed. Breathe in love and breathe out love. Enfold yourself in light. Saturate your being in love. 2. Take time to meditate and journal.  Spend time focusing inward daily. Begi...

The spirit of forgiveness is harnessed within the spirit of love and compassion–the love characteristic in how we are taught that God loves us; the love for which most of us love our children, our family, and even our friends. I’m not speaking of ego-based love, which is usually associated with being “in love,” or “passionate love.” I’m speaking of the unconditional love we usually reserve for those who we put beyond our egos. If we can find it in our heart to delve for this compassionate loving spirit for all those we love, especially those we are “in love with,” we will find it impossible  not  to forgive our beloved when we perceive they have hurt us. Now just because we forgive someone does not mean that we should allow anyone to continually hurt us. It means that we release them from the anger, resentment, and bitterness usually associated with an unforgiving spirit. It means that we love them, in spite of….. We love them whether they are in our lives or out of our lives…...
