Stuck In A Rut: How I Got Unstuck, True Confession

For years I worked for a company where it seemed people were indifferent towards me, stood up for me or had my back.  I started on the night shift (10:30 pm to 7:00 am).  A single mother with two little girls, a brand new house, and a car.  Needless to say, I had some huge responsibilities—so of course, I needed my job. If you can relate, read on... To begin with It did not pay so well, but it came with a much-needed benefits package—thank goodness! Lord! Much as working an overnight shift was challenging, I didn't mind it so much. I got to be home for my children when they got home from school and spend quality time with them. I also get to sleep all day—when I was not running frantically paying bills, and worrying about making ends meet. Regardless, I was living my dreams—and was proud of myself—I did it and did it all on my own. How I did I do it? Only God knows. This is why I say with certainty that God is my refuge and strength and if you put your mind to a...

The Pursuit of a Balanced Life

Everyone wants it...Only a few will get it! The password to a balanced life is GOALS.  Goals help us give meaning and directions to our lives. They help us ensure that we live by purpose and not by chance or accident.   When all the different aspects of our lives are in harmony, we are

The 3 Tests of a True Leader

One must first learn to Follow before they can Lead. We as a society have to start accepting the fact that not everybody was meant to be a leader and let the followers be content in their roles as followers. In this 21 th  century that we live in, everybody wants to be leaders and are even criticized if we don’t show leadership characteristics.  But my question is, if we all want to lead, who is going to follow?

What is Everything?

Some people say perception is everything —but let 's just toy with that idea for just a minute. Trying to pretend or believe that perception does not matter may help you feel better about yourself, but it sure won’t change the way others perceive you, nor their actions towards you as a result. So sure, perception is a big deal, but it is certainly not everything.  Not even the truth is everything. So then, if perception is not everything and the truth is not everything? What is everything?? Nothing.  Nothing is everything; to tell the truth. Ironic, eh?! Let’s test this theory….Pff!! Nothing?! What a load of crap? What’s that…? Nothing. Alright, you got me, explain... Here we go: Nothing is everything because everything is nothing.  What the what? Let’s break it down a bit here:   The air, the universe, the clouds, --God! Human? Are all nothing. I bet most of you are ready to throw stones at me now…what are you talking a...

ATTRIBUTES OF A MATURE ATTITUDE

Personally, I take offence to the term "Negative Attitude and/or People." A lot of people love to throw terms and labels around that they themselves don't even understand or get.  We can not go around arbitrarily labelling others with negative terms.  Words are powerful.  We must be mindful of the effects they have on others and the consequences.  Pff! "Negative attitude" and "negative people"... who are we to judge?  Don't they realize that by calling someone negative, they are guilty of negativity ? Labelling someone else with such "negative" terms makes you that which you have labelled or accused the person of?
