Let this truth rest in you today, the Almighty has anointed you to move your life onward, forward, & upward thru faith and with grace. You are anointed and have been crowned to reign & to rule. The anointing is empowerment. Empowerment to make things change, to heal, to set free. Just like what Jesus did, He was anointed to set the captives free, to heal, & bring deliverance.  This same anointing is in us. Receive it, breathe it in, acknowledge it, become it and let it give you new life that feeds others, whereby giving them live. I’m claiming my anointing and I’m reigning today.

In a moment when I was searching for wellbeing, I began to think on finding the moments of feelings of happiness, joy, love, pleasure.  When did I feel these feelings? Where was I,  and who was I with? Who do I share happy times with? Why does this person, thing make me feel happy. I then went on to ponder on the other feelings and ask the same questions.
This process helped me to define the experiences I want to have and how to recreate them. Then to define who I’d like to draw closer to. I began to make plans to add more of the moments and the feelings that I desire to have.
It was an awesome discovery and an ah ha moment that has rearranged my daily activities and my long term goals.
I would encourage everyone to do this.
The trick is to look at your whys attached to the people and things. See your whats real and whats superficial and whether your feelings are more defined in whats real or whats superficial.
Find your defining moments!

Life can be a battle at times and it will seem like it’s beating us up too.
When you’re in a battle with circumstances of life, you must know how to fight or “you gone learn today”. You better fight back, was what your mother, father, or older sibling would tell you if someone was bulling you.
Good fighters know strategic moves and good fighters are considered to have skill and are ready to defend themselves when attacked. In a physical fight you can win if you know how to fight, it’s the same with life. What is it to be a good fighter?  Well, you’d know the way to throw a good punch and generally a good fighter throws a punch to put the attacker on his ass. Unlike a not so good fighter,  who wants to keep the attacker off them. Good fighters land with impact, they bob & weaver, use their physical strength to wrestle. There is some strategy to being a good fighter. Good fighters can take a punch too, they will take a lick and keep on ticking (dating myself). Good fighters use instinct.
What kind of fighter are you,  is the question because good or not you will be in a fight and will have to apply whatever kind of skill you have. Some of us think we’re good fighters but are really scared, selling wolf tickets with lots of bark but no bite. We will even run before even trying at times if you’re not a good fighter.
Can you,  do you, defend yourself when your self worth is attacked,  when your confidence needs defending, or when you value is slapped to the side by someone? Do you show your attacker your winning skills and awesome ability to lay them out and cause them to recognize who they are messing with? Do you scream, cry and then run? Are you screaming you’ll be sorry you messed with me although your plan of recourse is to just talk badly behind the back of your attacker?
Fighters are prepared on attack and instinctively respond defensively and offensively.
Good fighters keep their skills up, make sure they are sharp and quick.
When life comes with a battle or is beating you up, be prepared to fight for yourself,  your dreams, your family and fight to win, landing the assailant on his ass.
Fight a good fight with tenacity, with skill & strategy for your self worth, and self respect and always fight for what you deserve.
Have confidence in your ability to win. Let the attacker know you don’t what none of this!

Kick butt,

It’s amazing how much we hide, from our self and from others especially. I had to come to terms with this in my life.  We are hard wired to be what others need us to be so much so that we deny ourselves pleasure and mentally say no to what we what. We say in our heads, I can’t do that and we know why because so and so would die, because he would have a fit, because that would be a big fight, and on and on. So the so and so, he, or she becomes the strings that dictate our movement.
The puppet strings are latched.
It’s hard when you know your actions will bring hurt, conflict, or dractic reactions, but to steal the phrase, “come out the closet”, and live an authentic life. The life that feels good to you and allow others to find someone else, another way, or change to accommodate you,whatever works for them.
Not all women live in hiding and those that don’t advance. It is my gestimate, that they may have 1 child if they’re a mother at all, have never been married is divorced,  or is married to her one and only love, and finally is earning an income over 60K.
How is this, because these women, nicely have not had to accommodate a list of others before getting to herself .
In the lack of advancing, we hide from ourselves not wanting to admit our weakness, defending our poor decisions, making excuses and my favorite, beating ourselves up for every mishap.
It’s time to advance with a long jump and high determination, even if it’s a few feet or to the next level.

How do we do this? Let me propose that we take these steps:
Get in a quite place, listen to our breathing for a few seconds taking long breaths at first then slow steady breaths
Write down what you’d really like to be doing right now in your life and the things that would be nice if, once you’re finish the list.
Write down why you are not having the experience you’d like.
Your whys should be all about you ; what you did not do, or say, or make clear, or say no to and those reasons.
Trust me you will move! There are things that will make the list that will come to an end today, new determinations will come out, much needed actions, and new understandings will be formed. Oh you will advance, for some baby steps, for others major changes.
My suggestion is to connect with your good intentions for your self and be motivated to see the good outcome you desire. Stay focused on the outcome of your desire, it being some good. Please celebrate your steps made. Find some small reward that says to you, you’ve done good.
Why take the time to do this exercise because there is something more for you and you have not seen the other you without the weights, without the load of crap we tell ourselves. There is another you, other adventures, more to experience and you deserve to see it, be l and do it.

It’s time to advance! .

Yes or no, that is the question. What are you saying yes to and what are you saying no to these days? It is inevitable that you are deciding on certain things and declining on certain things as well.
Humor me, are yesssssss due to obligation and people pleasing and is your  no due to playing small and indecisiveness?
Would a yes to joining or committing mean that you will eventually have say no to people and things and guilt you would feel keeps you from giving yourself that resounding yes, I’m gonna do it. I know for me guilt stopped me many times. My brilliant mind would say what about them, him, her, my duties,  and it would have to be no thus time, again.
I am not suggesting we negate responsibility, but sometimes the responsibilities need to be examined and reconsidered. What am I saying? 
That the rewards of saying yes to you and saying no to things we’ve been saying yes to, may bring higher possibilities to how we serve, saying yes and then no, may thrust us into the bigger picture rather keeping us constricted to the small circle of menial task. The yes and then a no, may allow others to grow in ways that enlarge them.
What are you saying yes to that only serve the needs of a select few, needs that establish comfort and complacency, needs in others due to fears and stagnation, are you keeping someone else’s life convenient by giving them the yes while saying no to allowing your light to shine and illuminate to a broader sphere?
Can you think of things you can say yes to today that will certainly upgrade you?
Many times we have by going to school or starting a business or taking that need trip, and we out everyone on alert, I can’t be available. Let these events encourage a momentum that allows us to keep moving in our services and contribution to becoming even more within, having a greater influence and shine, in living out some dreams and desires.
What am I saying? Say no to playing small, so others can feel comfortable,  say no to the mini me (that person inside  you that feels small) that limits you from believing for bigger & better possibilities, say no to the guilt trips, (refuse to pack and take the trip your mind or others will take you on).
These are success sabatages that keep use running the same routes and making the same plays.
We gotta keep changing the game!
Peace and love
