When Life Gives You Lemons

Sometimes life will hand you lemons. The tang of its bitterness can sting. Own your feelings. If you are sad- be sad. If you are mad- be mad. If you are devastated- be that too, but only for a short while. Take a moment to allow yourself to be upset or disappointed because that is part of what makes you human. People are emotional creatures that love and hurt, feel pain and sadness, and suffer disappointments and failures from time to time, but you can refuse to dwell in the storm. Staying in that place takes time away from your plan of action to make things right, get back on track, and recover. With every moment that passes, you could be missing an opportunity to turn things around for the better. Life is not going to be full of wonderful, awesome, jubilant moments all the time, but it is always full of blessings. Acknowledge them and give them the attention they deserve even (especially) while you recover from defeat. It is in those moments that your blessings will multiply and you will find that your disappointments, failures, and regrets have little relevance in comparison. Your greatest strength is found in your ability to see your life's blessings and potential to turn around even in the midst of your trials and in billows of the storm. ~For more positive posts stop by www.twitter.com/_TheAnswerKey & fb.me/TheAnswerKey daily!

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!
