The Answer Key

 It is human nature to strive for more, and in doing so one can possibly become desensitized to the achievement, accomplishment, or success of what has already been obtained. Even when that very thing: purpose, goal, acquisition, or relationship has been a significantly triumphant procurement, it can lose its shine. Over time, the objective changes, alters, or grows beyond that, and the shift of focus challenges its glory. While striving for more is a natural transition, always remember to stay grateful for what has already come to pass. Remind yourself of the energy, effort, determination and focus it required, and bask in gratitude for it while you seek to enlarge your territory.  ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me    @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

 There can be times that you have given your very last bit of energy, and find yourself feeling depleted. Whether it is to a job, a relationship, an event, and juggling multiple things at once, you can find yourself in need of restoration. In these moments, it is important to address it as soon as possible. It can only get worse if you do not address it, and will require even more time to come back from it. Do not ignore the symptoms, and hope for the best. Actively work on restoring and renewing your energetic cupboards. Invest in yourself. Begin with self care. Take as break from everyone and everything that drains you, and take care of yourself. Whatever your self care looks like, do that, take no calls, and intentionally bring positive energy to you with all of your senses. Your rejuvenated Self will thank you.  ~ For more positive posts stop by   fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me    @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

Every part of your journey is necessary to obtain and maintain  success once you have it.  At times, success can seem impossible, intangible, incongruous, or incredulous, but you are made stronger than your struggle. The road to success can seem long and tiring, but you never know what is awaiting you around the next bend. Keep going even if you have to pull over for a little while, know that the work you put in will pay off in the end. Get back on track, and enjoy the view on the way to the top. ~For more positive posts stop by fb.me/TheAnswerKey & tweet me @_TheAnswerKey daily!

Life is the cumulation of your experiences on your unique journey. Make the most of each and every one of them. Evolve, enjoy, and embrace it all. Even the sour parts offer just as much as the sweet if you are open to it- receive and recover. Express gratitude for every experience thus far and the beautifully blessed future that awaits you.  ~ For more positive posts stop by   fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me  @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

While you may feel like you live in the time of the great hustle, when everywhere you look someone is trying to sell you on something, have access to a secret get rich quick plan, or needing a few moments of your time to poorly explain crypto and NFTs to you- you can push back. You can choose to live smarter, not work harder, protect your peace, and maximize your means instead of keeping up with the Kardashians, for example. Now, it is perfectly okay to hustle. There is nothing wrong with going after everything you want, just be sure you are not hustling backwards. Make sure you are not sacrificing your marriage, integrity, or peace of mind. They should be priceless. Having balance is key to your success and a crucial component to happiness so you can actually enjoy the life you live. Entrepreneurial, financial, or investment successes are great, but not in exchange for love, fulfillment, and happiness.  ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet m...

The most important part of your journey is you; how you choose to love yourself and others, how you grow and learn, and how you evolve overall is the most important part of your peregrination. While you strive for self improvement, love yourself where you are,  remember to appreciate who you are right now and how far you have come. Goals are great, but always remember to have patience and show yourself grace especially during these challenging times. Always make time to do the things that bring you the most joy, and be in love with your life because life itself is a gift- treasure it.  ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me  @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

Recognize that the biggest obstacle you have to conquer is your own self-doubt. Believe that you are deserving of everything you have hoped for. Choosing what you want is easy, but deciding to go after it despite the difficulty that comes with it is the hardest part. Your goals need your attention and effort to become your reality. With that said, consider it already yours. Go after what you want, and do so with austerity. Go after your goal like it already belongs to you, you temporarily misplaced it, and you are back to reclaim it. ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me  @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

There is still air in your lungs, a beat to your heart, a beautiful mind full of wisdom, and the essence of your glorious soul is still glowing brightly. Finish this month with an intention set for the next one. Walk into a new month with gratitude for all that is, was, and will be. Embrace the accomplishments and challenges you will face, conquer, and learn from. Take care your Self, and love the life you live through it all.  ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me  @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

Time to yourself is optimal self-care. Being under the weather should not be the only time you justify taking time for yourself, by yourself, to yourself. Make time to take a step back, drop your shoulders, take a breath, and pause in gratitude. Relax and reflect on how far you have come. Make the best of your time of rest with no plans passed simply being. Self-care is a necessity not a luxury. Enjoy it, unapologetically. Always make time to take the time you need when you need it because life is still a marathon- pace yourself. ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me  @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

Set your best intentions for this day, week, month, and year. Move in such a way, your environment and the people in it will rise to meet you at your level. Mindfully bring forth the best energy you can to every experience. Be the solution for every problem, or at a minimum, do not the source of them. Have a magnificent new year!  ~For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me  @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

The holiday season is what you make it. It can be full of stress or it can be the most wonderful time of the year. Be mindful about how you show up for yourself this week. Make your life easier, and keep things simple. Spend more time enjoying yourself as much as you can. Do not overbook, over spend, or overextend yourself. Gifts are great, but it is most important to remember that this season is about loving and appreciating all of the people and things you already have. Count your blessings. ~For more positive posts stop by fb.me/TheAnswerKey & @_TheAnswerKey daily!

This day is another opportunity to be grateful for the life you have and the life you live right where you are right now.

Today is a new day that you can be and do better than before. Do not hold shame, but own everything, be grateful for all you have and how far you have come. ~For more positive posts stop by fb.me/TheAnswerKey & @_TheAnswerKey daily!

Once you take fear out of the equation things become a lot clearer. Sometimes, people never take hold of their dreams, and it is not due to a lack of talent, but because they were too afraid of judgement, failure, ridicule, etc. You can have and do whatever we want. Decide that you want it bad enough yet. Ask yourself, how bad do you want it, and what it will take to have it then get to work. Time will pass no matter how fast or slow you go; it does not change the goal.  ~For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey   and  @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

Take the good with the bad knowing that each day holds an opportunity to be better than the day before. Every chance you get to face a challenge, take on a task, or choose an adventure in your life you are opening the door of possibilities. Anything can happen. Focus on anything being any good thing, any thing you want, anything you need, any thing that will make a difference in your life for the better can happen. Stay focused. Stay positive. Stay open.  ~For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey   and  @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

All of the cards are in your hands. The consequences of your choices are the result of your life- present day. If your intentions are being met, congrats, but if you are waking up with feelings of loss or longing, you know it is time to make new choices. Things may not change overnight, but change happens the moment you change your mind, choose a different path, and work toward the direction you want your life to go.  ~For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey   and  @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

You could live a completely different life if given enough commitment to making the changes needed to have the life you want. Find the second gear. Dig a little deeper. Focus a little harder. Fine tune your skills and vision for yourself, and what direction you want your life to go in. Know your destination and calculate what it will take to get there. You can make it happen. That is for sure. The unpredictable is the obstacles and length of your process, but if you want what you want bad enough, neither of those things will matter. ~For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey   and  @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

The people you surround yourself with can fine tune your ambitions or diminish them. Be mindful of the kind of people you allow in your circle because they are speaking over your experience, and contributing to it in a positive or negative way. Steer clear of people who are lacking focus, vision, or drive; they tend to have nothing to lose. Stay in touch with like-minded people who are rooting for you, and genuinely invested in your success and your happiness. Those bonds are priceless. ~For more positive posts stop by fb.me/TheAnswerKey and @_TheAnswerKey daily!

Sometimes life just happens. As positive as you may be, life can show up with negative Nancy, nosey Susan, or a nasty... Karen, it's Karen. Being positive is hard, especially in those challenging moments or interactions when other people show up in your life  negatively without your input, permission, or invitation. When you are sunshine and rainbows but get met with clouds or tsunami of someone else's emotions- stay steadfast. The key is to collect yourself, change direction, find a solution, or remove yourself as soon as possible. Protecting your peace is part of maintaining your happiness. Keep moving forward with the positive energy you bring, spread it as far and wide as you can, and it will come back to you.  ~For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me  @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

The unexpected will undoubtedly happen unexpectedly. Know that when problems arise they are temporary and merely loading lessons you need to learn to live your best life; that is all. Remember how resilient you are. Be brave, stay confident, have faith, and push through. You have made it through your darkest moments before, and are thoroughly equipped to power through anything else standing in your way. ~For more positive posts stop by fb.me/TheAnswerKey & tweet me @_TheAnswerKey daily!

While it would be nice to know that every day will amount to perfect weather, endless pockets and purses full of cash, and kind eyes on every face with every hello; you have lived enough to know that some days are stormy, penny pinching, and full of frumpy faces. The best understanding of it all is what lies in your tomorrow. The sun will shine again, the next payday is near, and there just might a new friend around the corner. Stay positive, stay encouraged, and stay hopeful. A better tomorrow is just a day away, and today might be the tomorrow you have been waiting for.  ~For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me   @_TheAnswerKey  daily!
