The Hills and Valleys

Life is full of hills and valleys. Recognize your moments on the hills as the wonderful moments they are and take it all in. Do not waste time up there worrying about the next valley. Give those moments the time they deserve. Be happy and be grateful for them as the blessings they are. When the valleys come, take them in stride. Embrace them for what they are- time to show yourself what you are really made of. Show your strength, affirm your faith, and keep moving forward knowing that with every valley you are on the upswing to something better. Do not get stuck, stranded, or stagnant. Do not lie down or quit. Pay attention. The valleys are there to teach you something about yourself you may not have known before, reaffirm what you already knew, or re-establish what you knew and lost along the way. Both hills and valleys are blessings to your life- embrace them both equally. Remember that in every situation and circumstance, this is your life. No matter what opinion anyone else may have of you or how you live it. That said, if you do not like something in it; remove it. If you do not see the purpose someone is serving in it; remove them. If you do not like the way things are going; change direction. Life goes by too quickly to live with any regrets. You are the pilot of your jet. You are the author of your book. You are the conductor of your symphony- if you do not like how it sounds; change the music. Whatever you do, live with purpose, live with passion, and live your life well.

Feeling Stagnant? Get Unstuck...

Pray first. Then, count your blessings because gratitude and anxiety cannot share the same space. Now, prepare to shake things up. Take a trip. Take a drive. Take a walk or simply step outside. Close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth so you can smell and taste the air. Focus on the beating of your own heart. That sweet rhythm... let it be a calm and steady reminder that your presence is important and your Being is enough. Then, intentionally create more joy every chance you get.  ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me    @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

Let Go Like Elsa

Know when it is time to cut ties with the the ignorant, the indecent, classless, dramatic, disrespectful, and the delusional- let them go. Let them be and fester amongst themselves. Refuse to give them the audience they crave. Know when you are above the fray, and act accordingly. Remain elevated. Remember that you are pragmatic, motivated, sophisticated, and celebrated among those that truly know you. Be dutifully at work on your greatness and betterment- be better and move on. ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me    @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

I.Y.K.Y.K.

They will always think what they want, and there is nothing you can do about it. Now, you be the judge. Judge for yourself. Look yourself in the mirror and answer to you. Everyone else's take is just their opinion. The ideas they have formed about who they think you are have nothing to do with you, who you are, or who you are becoming. Even for the people that matter, whose opinions you hope are positive and at the very least, pragmatic- they only know some of your depth. Even they can not attest to your every challenge, consideration, conquest, desire or fear. Speak for yourself and speak up. Make sure you get your attention, and get to the business of being someone you would speak highly of.  ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me  @_TheAnswerKey  daily!
