Confident Attractive Young Woman Sitting at a Desk

Remind yourself daily that you are not perfect. Nobody is. We all make mistakes. We all have flaws. We all have strengths and weaknesses. We all have good days and bad days. Don’t let anybody break you down. Be Strong! Follow these steps.

Learn to budget:

· Pay your bills on time or before the due date, if possible

· Buy only what you can afford.

· Pay a little extra on debts when you can to reduce them faster and increase your credit rating.

· Do not frequent the malls

· Shop with a list and stick to it as much as possible

· Use coupons when possible - it is not about being poor or cheap, it is about smart saving.

· Avoid taking small ticket items on credit

· Treat yourself every once in a while not all the time

· Learn the art of denying instant gratification

· Put some funds aside for emergencies and watch your money grow

Do not avoid or ignore bills or creditors

· the situation is not going to go away

· It will only get worse if you do.

· Make small arrangements and try to stick to them - let creditors know if you are unable to keep your arrangement and make new ones with them

Accept your current situation and deal with it:

· Do not lie to yourself by pretending that things are better than they are. Yes, we all wish we were rich or have more – but the fact is we aren’t.

· Don’t follow the Joneses or the whomever?

· Live within your means

· Things will get better if you deal with them.

Finally, exercise and laugh a lot.

· Try to find humour in every situation (even the bad ones if it is even after the dust is settled).

·   Don’t take yourself so seriously or everybody else will.
·      Learn to say yes to yourself and no to others—it may sound selfish, but you won’t be stressed.
·      Be kind and thoughtful.
·      Don’t forget to breathe!

People who understand and manage their life are more confident, and independent and have less stress in their lives.

A New Year's Eve Devotion - The Hands of God

A New Year's Eve Devotion - The Hands of God My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens. ~Isaiah 48:13 NIV What I woke up to this morning. I quickly sprang from my bed, okay, sofa where I have been sleeping for a while now, and grabbed my phone quickly to capture the vision in front of me. Half hour later, I am still snapping pix and vids. If only my camera could see what I could see. One of the best things about living in this space is the marvellous sunrise and moons I get to experience. REFLECT & PRAY The vision inspired me write a poem reflecting what the image of God's hand was saying to me: THE HANDS OF GOD: Crimson Curtain, Sunrise Framed Through crimson curtains God kissed my eyes, A glowing dawn begins to spread. The city rests still and serene, While crimson skies ignite the scene. A balcony, aged but full of grace, Embraces the glow in its weathered space. Below, a waking town appears, Its shops and streets, calm pion...

How To Feel Better Instantly and Vibrate at a Higher Frequency In 2018

Title image Improving your life requires you to change something about yourself—be it your mind, perspectives, attitude, bad habits, or circle. That said, a person unwilling to change won't grow or move forward in life or career. So let me begin by urging you, starting right now to stay open and flexible to change. A meaningful life is not just about your money, status, education, popularity, and beauty. Although all these have their place in life and society, they are not the full package. A life worth living is more about integrity, gratitude, compassion, and kindness. At the end of the day, these are the qualities that really matter—how we relate and connect with The Creator and His creations. So, let's look at how we can all vibrate at a higher frequency starting right now and every day hereafter. SPIRITUALLY "Every day, live in a way that honours who you are." —A.D. Posey Meditate/pray daily: Take a few minutes every day to sit still i...

A Personal Sunday Reflection on the Three Stages of Life: Rest in Peace, My Brother.

A personal Sunday reflection of my brother’s life and legacy, in what I call the three stages of life—birth and development, the pursuit and the chase, and sickness and dying— illuminating the gift of mortality. Rest in peace, my brother. Life often demands reflection in its quietest moments. It's no wonder some people are always busy. The recent passing of my brother, Donovan, brought me to one of these moments—confronted by the stillness of an early morning ten days after his departure, I had an epiphany . In that silence, I considered the arc of life, its inevitable stages, and the truths that define us. From the beginning of birth to the vigour of youth and its pursuits of adulthood, to the finale—the fragility of aging and dying. I contemplated that life unfolds in three distinct but interconnected phases: birth and development, the pursuit, and sickness and dying. Birth and Development: The Foundation of Self Life begins with hope and infinite potential. Each birth represe...
