Letting Go!!!

Yesterday was confirmation that I need to be comfortable with letting go and letting God.  I realized that some things are out of my control.  The old Lolade would have freaked out and over reacted.  The new Lolade understood that some things are out of my control and I have to be okay with that.  I am quickly realizing that when I have good intentions, and focus on God's plans then I can't go wrong.

Many times I am what I would call a "blessing blocker".  A blessing blocker is someone who gets in their own way, when God is trying to move and shift somethings in your life.

 Letting go and Letting God allows you to have freedom around certain situation.  It does not mean you care less.  I just don't get hung up on the bullshit that's all.  I focus on the plan and develop my focus on what really matters.

I am intentional to what I give my power and time too. I have a choice: I can sit around and complain and lament OR I can be the mover and shaker that God intended me to be (I choose option 2).

If you are not feeling at peace around a situation or a certain someone.  LET IT GO!  Ask God to bring peace and freedom around your struggle.  Ask Him to make you stronger and give you wisdom. Now you have to surrender.  You can't ask God to take over if you are not willing to surrender unto Him.

Yes, you are going to have to wait and stay faithful that He will provide (I am constantly working on myself during the in between time).

Let me know what you are letting go to allow God in.  I will be your prayer partner!


Till next time remember to live, love share and Let GO and Let God!\

Not for rent

Who are you renting your space to? Is it people's opinions? doubt? fear? is it the opinions of those closest to you?  Your mind is your sacred real estate.

That's right...unless they are a good tenant, otherwise shut out the extra noise.  When I chose to leave my job last year I did not tell many people about this transition.  Why?  Because I did not need to solicit anyone's opinion on what I valued to be true for myself

Some people felt like I kept a secret from them.  The truth is that when I am alone with my thoughts and with God I can not turn to anyone  and ask "should I do this or not?" When I am with God and myself  I am not seeking consensus but seeking clarity.  Being alone with God in prayer teaches me to TRUST Him alone.

In the mist of life happening you have to be intentional about spending time alone and with God.

Til next week,

Remember to live, love & share.

You are your BEST investment

Someone that I recently talked to left her job.  She shared with me her dissatisfaction about her job

and with her co-workers.  Many of you can relate with her about being unhappy with your job.  She mentioned being unhappy about several things but one thing that came up in the conversation was that she did not feel valued and  no one invested in her. Read on to see what I shared with her:

Jim Rohn said, "you don't get paid for the hour, you get paid for the value you bring to the hour".  Many people outsource the responsibilities of their life's outcome to others.  If you want to change your outcome or the results you are producing in your life then you must add value to yourself.  

You are able to press your reset button.  Now make good use of this new opportunity.  Understand what you want out of this experience that you did not have with your previous experience.  Don't blame anyone but what is the experience you want?  How are you willing to create that experience for yourself?  Who can help you create this experience for yourself?  People don't grow and develop by accident.  You must be intentional about your growth and develop. Remember that you are your BEST investment.  You must always continue to sow into your destiny.  

 Now for all of those reading this: I want you to write down your schedule for the week and weekend.  If your schedule does not  create time for personal growth then, you need to start to become more INTENTIONAL about your time.  Now I am not saying you quit your job.  What I am encouraging is that you substitute your time with reading a book, listening to a pod cast, networking, or creating your growth plan.  Whatever it is make sure you are working at it everyday to get you closer to what you want (be intentional).   

See you on Thursday!

Lo--

Ps.  This does not only apply towards a job.  This is also for those out there trying to lose weight or eat healthy.  Let this speak to your unspoken truth (speaking to myself now).
