We always take time for granted. And when time runs out, we get angry that nothing ever happened. That nothing went on our favor. But let me ask you something. Did you deserve anything? Did you work hard enough to really earn it? See when I am feeling angry at the world for my goals not being accomplished or dreams not coming true, I take a moment and I asked myself “Have you really tried” Have you put in the effort” The answer is always no. Why? Because I’m so caught up in unnecessary things that I forget about the bigger picture and when time runs out we grow more and more angry, like if we didn’t build the outcome of it. We need to be honest with ourselves and accept our mistakes and work through it. But don’t expect for time to always be there. We must change our mindset and believe that we must grasp every minute we can. Look I work 40 hours a week at a job I’m not in love with for it is not what I would want to be doing for the rest of my life. But me being there is still is on me. Because on my downtime I rather waste it on tv then dedicating it on my goals and dreams. And I’m not trying to be hard on myself or tell you to be hard on yourself. All I want is to really take a hard look on your life and ask yourself are there things you could change and maybe do better. A little each day helps. But not working at all on your dreams and then asking why your dreams don’t come true or why can’t you find time is ultimately on you. Time is very limited, but we still have it. Have a deep conversation with yourself and ask yourself Are you wasting time.
ARE YOU EVEN STARTING?
Its funny how the brain works. We are in complete desperation to building towards success. And you know the steps but you never get started. And that is because there always seems to be something missing. At least we think something is missing . So we wait a little longer. But this goes on for years and years. Our biggest struggle is starting. I can’t even understand why for the human brain its so hard to start and not even that but continuing on without giving up. Without seeing results. It all takes believing in yourself but then life hits with reality. it hit us with bills, it hit us with needing to work. So we put our dreams on pause until all of our struggles is resolved but it never really is. We need to understand that we just have to get started no matter the outcome, no matter the results. Its not that we are in a bad place or even ungrateful .but because we think we can’t escape from it we end up accepting it and every year it gets harder and harder to make a name out of yourself. So you think since its so hard to make a name for yourself you go the easy route and you end up working for someone else. But our spirit is burning on the inside. We feel this sudden itch to be someone. And that itch is indication, Confirmation from God to Start! You have to stay true to yourself and if you want to stop being so miserable every day and experience temporary happiness you have to give yourself a chance with your dreams. I’m at a place right now where I’m turning 22 which is a young age but I’m so desperate to build something for myself but I know I’m not working hard for it. So yes I don’t deserve the life I want. Why ? because I’m thinking its just going to fall from the sky. You have to put in the work guys! We have to do this! And if your reading this right now let’s be each others support group. You can leave a comment below about anything you need help with .we have to stick together and work hard in building our own life full of happiness peace and pure freedom. I believe in being our own boss in our own life. Don’t you?
Find what makes your Soul dance
Look here’s the deal. No matter how many goals I have and ambition, I never seem to accomplish them. Why is that!!!!!! Like does someone have to threaten me so I can get shit done? I do not know what goes on my head when I know for a fact the steps I need to take and how hard I need to work to to there. So where am I going wrong? Where are we going wrong? Because I know that I cannot be the only one. And if I am ,well that sucks. People! Please show me your tricks lol. But I think I found the problem to my problem. See I love my dreams and want them to come true but for a while I was so focus of what the goal will bring me and most of the time all of thought of was MONEY! And this is where the universe wants to give you a lesson and teach you that if you put your main focus on money then your not going to amount to much. Why? Because money ultimately does not bring you happiness but instead brings stress into our life. Which isn’t healthy. We no longer do things that we are passionate about because we say it won’t bring enough money or if we don’t see results in as little as 2 weeks then we end up wanting to quit. Like I am with this blog pretty much. I love blogging and wanting to connect with other’s but I don’t see that working out much and in a moment I wanted to quit because no one was reading my blog post. And it sucks but something inside of me Which I know is my Awesome GOD told me to continue and forget about results! Just do it for you! Look eventually money well come just like eventually many will enjoy what I write on this blog. But we can’t put our main focus on just that .We got to do things because we are truly passionate about them no matter the outcome. Step by step I’m learning how important it is just to get started even if no one is watching or even caring I know that once I do it I will make not only myself proud but God as well. Because we are not here to just work and pay bills. We are here to experience the beauty of God’s creation. We are here to meet beautiful souls and make our own souls happy with what makes us happy. Whether that’s blogging like me or just simply watching a beautiful sunset. Sit down with yourself and ask yourself if your truly happy and if your not then find ways to change that. Life is too short to be stressed over things that at the end will never really matter.
Just Start
Challenge 3 ! Are you excited! But before we start I want to be honest with you guys and let you guys know my progress.
Challenge 1 was all about removing the bad puzzles! This challenge is still taking me some time but I am learning to be consistent with a few practices I want to do daily to grow each and everyday! Challenge 2 was all about time and this one I think I’m doing okay! I have finally realized that excuses will equal nothing and if I want something from life I have to prove myself,work hard, and of course give myself that time. Because if it’s really important you will find the time! But I will be completely honest with you guys I still have many things to change! My goals still have not been achieved. But I know I just have to stay positive and work hard which I have to be honest to myself that I haven’t worked that hard. But even writing this is opening my eyes even more of what I got to do and the steps I have to take! And this is where Challenge 3 comes in! Just Start! No matter where you are, No matter who you are Just Start! Look we waste so
much time planning and planning that we end up loosing confidence in even starting. I always think I have to wait a little longer but I don’t realize that I’m just letting time pass me by without even taking the first step. Do let yourself do this. For we need to stop taking our days and even minutes for granted! We must take advantage of every moment every chance that we have.
So for this week I Challenge you to take 1 of your goals and just Start take the first step and continue working hard in achieving it! I will be doing this as well and I will let you guys know my truest results with this Challenge! I hope your up for it!
Using your Time Correctly
Challenge two will be About Time! Reason I decided to do A challenge of using time correctly is because I am so tired of listening to people and even myself say “ I don’t have the time” . And once I hear this ,
the first word that comes into mind is BULLSHIT. And yes probably God doesn’t use this type of language but I do feel like its Him telling me I’m wrong. It’s not that I don’t have the time, it is that I do not use the time correctly to begin with. And this is what I hear God telling me every time I use the “excuse” that I don’t have the time.
Listen to me! You do have time! You just need to use the time you have correctly! And in this challenge I will help and guide you to using your time correctly for ultimate Success! This practice has helped me and I hope it helps you!
YOU READY??
Okay lets get started!
Go sit down and grab a piece of paper and pen and write down everything you do in the whole day and write beside it the time it took you..
For example for me:
I work a full time job so I wrote down That in 24 hours in my day I work for 8 hrs
Also I added in That I sleep for another 8 hours.
And I continue this until I have used up the full 24 hours in the day.
With this practice I realized how much time I was wasting on just watching tv! When I would always say I don’t have time to set aside to blog or even study! Like Whatttttt? I just caught myself on my own BULLSHIT! I knew how crazy it was that I would waste 4 to 5 hours on just watching tv and another 2 hours using my phone!
Was this time used properly? Nope.
See doing this practice made me realize how much time I was throwing away on unnecessary things that will never help me build my future. What I also realized is that nothing Ever comes easy! You have to work hard if you want to have a successful future. You cant expect for things to come easy for you if your not putting in the time and work!
See I would complain and complain how I wasn’t earning enough money and how I wanted to be self employed and do what I love as my job. But while I was complaining, instead of actually putting in the work I will sit in bed doing absolutely nothing!
See we have this equation in our heads that we expect to bring us something more in life and it is
NOTHING + Complaining = A Successful future!
What we need to realize is that
Nothing + Complaining = NOTHING!!!
And what does this equation mean to you and me? It means that we expect the Universe to open doors for us and give us daily opportunities. And we are just sitting on our ass doing absolutely NOTHING!
You need to catch yourself on your own BULLSHIT! Because if you don’t you will never Succeed in Life!
But If you decide to use this equation instead
Working hard + using your time Correctly= For a Successful Future!
Then watch your life change! For the Better!
So go ahead and do this practice once you write down everything you do in just 1 day, be honest with yourself and ask yourself what can you remove so you can you use that time better.
Comment below if this Post helped you in anyway. I know it did for me! I would love to hear how these challenges are helping you in changing your life for the better!
Don’t forget to give a follow and Like! And stay tuned for the third Challenge Next Friday!
In the meantime Continue practicing this method I gave you and see How it can change not only how you use your time but how you can transform for you life with just this simple practice!
New mindset
Okay guys! Continuing with challenge 1 , I want to share with you the 5 practices I use to a new mindset!
These practices really help me and I hope it helps you to reprogram you mind to ultimate Success instead of automatic failure.
Step one : Morning Ritual
A morning ritual is Super important! Why? Because the morning is what sets you day in motion. For example waking up grumpy will set you day up for disaster! Instead Smile! Appreciate that you have a new day! That you still have life! Waking up to a new day is confirmation that you have a new opportunity! That means that your chances of succeeding are still there!
How is my Morning Ritual?
.
.
.
First thing I do is look up to the ceiling for a couple minutes and process the day. I give out the biggest smile even if I’m to sleepy to give it. Lol. And I start with a morning Conversation with God! I thank him for another great day. I declare that the day will be awesome and full of new opportunities! Then I give a full stretch , still smiling of course! Then I go look out my window, look up to the sky and again smile. Because I got to see a new day!
Step two: Journaling
In my journaling session I first write down 5 things I’m grateful for and 5 things I declare in the day/future.
I continue with writing down my goals and what I will and can do to achieve them. I then go ahead and write a letter to God. Having my day be full of God’s goodness is very important to me! I want to grow my connection with God every day and this is what helps me have such an amazing day to be honest. Because I’m putting God first above all this. For he is who is guiding my footsteps.
Just Journaling for 5 maybe even 10 minutes a day made a big difference in my life. Why? Because I got to just clear my mind for a couple a minutes and say everything I want to say. Also it makes you realize how much you should appreciate life when you write down what you are grateful for. And writing down your goals everyday and what you will do to achieve them will motivate you into believing that you can. Because you Can! Remember its all about Law of attractions!
Step three : Self Everything!
Self love! Self care! Look you need to take that time away to truly love yourself and care for yourself. It’s great that you want to hustle day in and day out but you need to understand that the body and spirit need their time of rest and affection! Even in between working give yourself a motivational pep talk. You need to believe every single day that you are enough!
Step 4: Reprogramming your thoughts
This was a tricky one for me to do and it still is a struggle. I don’t know about you but sometimes negative thoughts want to crawl my mind and make me believe that I will never accomplish my goals. And because I didn’t put a stop to this I started believing it. So I started practicing every time a negative thought will form in my head I will quickly change it to a positive one. For example:
You will never open up your own business. To My future business will be a success!
You don’t look pretty compared to the IG Models. To You are just as beautiful. There is no need to compare myself!
Step Five: Action!
SIMPLY START! Look we do sooo much talking and planning not enough doing! If we let our planning and thoughts overpower us we will end up getting tired and not even working towards it. And all that planning you did meant nothing! Look our minds will always make us believe its not the right time, we don’t have the supplies, or money , or even experience to even start. So we think we need to doo years of research and planning to even start. No matter the outcome just Start! Look I’m not going to promise you that you wont fail because we all do! But let that teach you what not to do next time. Life is all about learning! We need to just let fear aside and simply do it anyways.
