Nosebleed Section Please

One of my fave proverbs talks about how if you go to an event you should not act proud and take the best seat in the house. Instead, take the worst seat so that you can be promoted rather than thinking you're all that, take the best seat, and have to get up later to give your seat to someone of higher prestige.

It's hard in this day and life not to get sucked into selfishness and materialism. But try to keep things true to yourself and don't give in to what you know is wrong. It's cool to want and buy the finer things in life but don't become arrogant. Just as fast as you got it, you can lose it.

Don't have such a proud heart that you forget there are others hurting and there was a time when you needed someone.

Stay humble! Xoxo

It's Been a Long Time!

I have fallen so behind with my blog, my apologies. I've been busy busy and I don't like writing on my new phone!


When you make decisions, sometimes you will be faced with situations you may not know how to handle right off the bat. SO what do you do?

Weigh the pros and cons, play out the situation in every way possible (cause and effect of everything you do), and what seems right and best in your heart GO WITH IT!

Don't be afraid to fail and don't beat yourself up if you make the wrong choice, learn from your mistakes and KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

Your life is yours, have no regrets and understand life is a learning process.

Keep your head held high!

Great Expectations

When you set your heart out on pursuing your goals, do you expect greatness? Or are you just doing something in hope that it will turn out great?

Keep your mind positive and full of expectation that things will work out. Negativity is NOT allowed in order to turn your vision into reality!

Put action behind the vision, work smart (and hard), remain focused and expect the best!

It will come!

To be used or not to be used......

There are times in life where you will encounter a certain type of friend.

She calls you only when she needs someone to do something for her, when she needs a place to stay, and when you call her she's never there. You only see her 2 or 3 times a year, but to the outside looking in you're best friends.

So what do you do? How do you cope when someone you were so close to just walks on you like a doormat?

Accept it!

Life is like a long haul international flight on a plane. Whoever starts with you in NY may not travel with you all the way to St. Tropez (lol). There will be layovers, friends will get off the plane and new people will get on.

So don't feel bad when someone who used to be oh so close is oh so far.

Enjoy the flight, embrace the new!

For and not to.....

I've probably posted something similar to this earlier BUT I don't think I really applied it.....

There are some things you're not going to understand in life, and at times you're going to feel like everything is happening to you.

In relationships (sometimes) people will lie to you, steal from you, never talk to you and then ask for a "favor", betray you, manipulate you and flat out have your mind going in circles!

BUT if you can understand that all of this is happening for you and not TO you, you can have hope for tomorrow.

What do I mean by for you? I mean if all the above mentioned things do happen to you. Your coat of skin for life, which should be THICK, will become gator skin. And after a while you will finally see everything coming full circle AND the way you want it.

You'll appreciate the new things, new relationships, and the doors opening. But the only way that will happen is if you endure those hard times realizing the things you thought were happening TO you were really working FOR you.

THE POWER OF WORDS

Don't underestimate the things that can happen based on the words you speak.

Word becomes life and what you speak can alter your life forever.

The mouth is a powerful thing. Keep a positive mindset, positive thoughts and speak those things that be not as though they were!

Emotions'll Have You Broke!

My poison of the "one eyed devil" (what old people refer to the tv as) is Making the Band 4. Say what you want, but sometimes Diddy really does speak the truth about certain success related principles.

This past episode, when danity kane was bickering about what they didn't like about being in the group, he interrupted and said "emotions'll have you broke!"

"You'll be watching the MTV awards 10 years from now" sayin what could have been.....

Think about it (and I write this for my ladies but some men may relate), emotions move you to do certain things. I.e the word "motion" in emotion.

When you get angry, you react a certain way. When you're sad, happy, excited etc. but these "emotions" can be dangerous.

All too often us women let our emotions get in the way of handling business and actively , keyword ACTIVELY pursuing our goals.

Example, a woman is so in love and has all this business and opportunity coming her way BUT when her "man" calls on her or hurts her or wants to spend time with her....she drops everything. Just for a few days (she says), oh it's just a few weeks...and then before you know it a whole year has gone by and the opportunity is gone.

Meanwhile, that "man" got a call two days ago to help him further pursue his dream BUT he has to leave you in order to do it. He's packed and gone in less than a week! You gave him your time and sacrificed your dreams. So now what do you do?

I'm not knockin being in love BUT I am knockin letting love and the emotions that may come with it "knock you off your high horse"(distract and detur you).

Don't look back 10 years from now, 20 years sayin "man, I was so fine, I had such a good life and I let (fill in the blank) ruin me by taking over my thoughts!"

You decide what you think about and what you do. Not your emotions!
