Overcoming Distractions, Discouragement, and Discord

By
Life is full of light and darkness.   What matters most is what we choose to focus on and knowing what to let go of.   We've all wrestled with the demons of distractions, discouragement, and discord from time to time.   The sooner we learn to destroy them effectively, the sooner we will start walking into our destiny.   In this post, we will look at strategies to defeat these demons to ensure that they don't continue to disrupt our lives and career.   DISTRACTION : According to Google, distraction is anything that prevents us from giving our full attention to something else.   That said, distraction is not all bad. Sometimes we need to divert our attention from one thing or the other lest we become obsessive-compulsive about it—which is no good in the end. Even the scripture tells us there is a time and a season for everything. Distraction can be mental, actual, emotional, or spiritual.   It can be pleasurable or painful. It's all a matter of...

What Does Financial Freedom Mean For You?

By
Financial freedom is different for everyone based on their desires, lifestyle and life experiences.  For some people, it means having a financial cushion: savings, investments, a nest egg and enough cash (on hand) to afford their lifestyle and pursue their dreams.

X Don't Call Me Strong, Don't Call Me Resilient! Stop The Madness

By
  Dear Black People, What I am about to say may sound controversial to some, but this is a subject that I am passionate about.  It behooves me to speak to the plentitude of posts and podcasts going against the strong Black woman and resilient narratives as stigmatizing to the Black woman in particular. I am a Black woman who considers herself strong and resilient. I teach my daughters to be strong and resilient. I teach my clients to be strong and resilient, and I am proud to say it. I will remain strong in the Lord.  I get that they are trying to decolonize certain stereotypical behaviour that continues to permeate society, but what does being strong have to do with decolonization? Our strength is like our blackness. It is what sets us apart. If Black women were not strong, there would be nothing left to decolonize—we would be extinct. My strength is in my weaknesses. So don’t apologize for calling me strong. Change degrading behaviour, and that will be enough for me. Yo...
