The True Prize


 The True Prize



    There are so many promises we make to ourselves, families, friends, even GOD. Do we accomplish all of it? No. I think we put expectations on ourselves that weren't even supposed to be on us from the jump. That's the same thing as pleasing people. We people please to, keep the peace but go to war with ourselves. I call this blog the true prize because what are you really trying to aim for in life? Who are you satisfying? Who and what are you saying yes to?


    What you say yes to, now enslaves you. You have to serve what you said yes to. For example, my Nana called. She needed assistance with moving her air conditioner. I was late. She called asking if what she asked of me was going to get done. I went over and completed the task and went home. See that's not people pleasing but simply saying yes to a task that was asked and it was done. Simple … right? We can say yes to jobs, money, relationships, trips, things that entice us right? Not everything that glitters is gold. 


    For my people who love smoking. We can sometimes put ourselves in bad situations chasing something or a sensual pleasure that can possibly be dangerous or lead us into danger. Ah see what I did there? Even in psalms the lord said he will deliver us from evil look at psalms 23. Psalms is such a good book to learn from.


    Lust shows in many different ways. Don't look at others and what they have.Focus on God he is the true prize. He said seek him and his kingdom first and everything else will add unto you. For most people who know me I quote this scripture a lot. It means something deeper than the visual eye. I used to search for love when love was already inside of me. I was looking for a job but god gave me gifts not talents but gifts that i can use to help me make a living. It may seem small and ridiculous to you. As for a believer we know that the system of this world operates in darkness and God called his children to be a light. That's why people look at you funny. I laugh as I go along with my life. Why? I don't have to be a Hebrew slave working for the systems of this world when I know God will supply every need. The lord said take his yoke for his burden is light and easy to carry.


    Life isn't always butterflies and rainbows. With God though I walk in humility, faith, love, hope, rest, peace, wholesomeness, stability, strength, courage, full. What game are you playing & is it worth the prize you were seeking for?

When The Time is Right

When we go through life we often wonder when things will happen & that can be for any event. Can I share a story… honestly I’m being so transparent with you all. There was a time I was so on fire with my business Not For Sale. We was on the role back to back events. Getting sponsored & funded.  It was like I was in an economic high.      Making so many accomplishments at such a young age. Then I hit a place in my life where everything took a pause. Everything had stopped. My life has changed from having everything together to putting everything back together… but little did I know in the next 5 years it was my teaching season. My prepping session.     In those 5 years continuing the process of success is patience and gratitude. It was told to me that it’s about the journey and not the destination. I believe that you will land in the place of milk and honey. Of course that’s the land of abundance, joy, peace, love, happiness, stability an...

Let It Flow

  Let It Flow  For all of my music lovers, let's call out Toni Braxton! That's my girl. When I think about Toni her resilience, strength, courage and love all comes to mind. That makes Toni plus more. When you think about yourself, your current situation or just everyday life how do you let it flow? I know sometimes I can come off religious lol… just a firm believer. This time I want you to really dive deep into every detail small to large in your life.  For example, this morning I woke up. Layed in my bed for an extra 30 mins. I took a warm shower. Now this is when you get personal. I felt the water sink into my pores. I almost forgot I was in the shower ;). Dried off. I pampered myself with powder and shea butter, put on my clothes and started my day. Clean and fresh is always the go to! The point I'm making is… how you start your day is how you carry your day. Making time for yourself and your day is important. A wise man once said if we get caught up in the business o...

UnKnown

  Unknown Ania D. You were born. You are now among the living. We grow up. Simple story of life. Then you start to wonder how you got here. Have you ever had questions that the answer was unknown at the moment? I have those moments plenty of times. Can I be honest? When me and my ex broke up I was scared she was going to get pregnant and married. My thoughts are wild. We haven't spoken in a while, so I called. Me calling and asking her the question “are you pregnant?” The answer was a no. Do you know how many nights and days I was constantly worrying about another human being's actions or decisions? I'm not going to get into detail of all of the emotions I  went through but lets say it wasn't always pretty.       Sometimes we won't get our answers. Sometimes we won't know. Sometimes we don't need to know. Maybe she is and doesn't want to tell me. Is that for me to know? No. We are not in control. My other ex said that to me too. God is in control. I wa...
