Daily Faith Walk

Morning, Afternoon, evening whatever the case maybe, Donna here for you personally!

QUESTION: How many decisions you made resulted in a power shift?

Today we are going to receive help in making power shift decisions, by having a consciousness or awareness of your thoughts, actions, feelings, sensations, perceptions, and other mental processes.

Having an awareness, leaves 80% of the guess work out of the decision-making process.
By being conscious or aware of yourself and the world around you, right decision can be put into play.

Boy, I am glad I made the DECISION to leave Atlanta and go to Tulsa (Oral Roberts University)  despite never going to college, no money and at the age of forty-nine (49)!!!!

What a POWER SHIFT!!!

A quote from Zora Neale Hurston, made me look at decisions and tribulations that may result from them are meaningful lessons in time. She said, "There are years that ask questions and years that answer."  Same with the decisions you make, years of asking why I made that decision, and years of answers. Your end result is that the goal or dream here is to have more power shift answers then questions.

Now, back to your consciousness, which is also an aspect of many mental processes, such as things we meditate, and act on while making these power shift decision. For example quick decisions are made to invest in stock, pressure decisions to get married because of aging.  Albert Einstein had this to say, "Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value."

The number #1 DECISION YOU HAVE TO MAKE IS:
Have the faith, intensity, in knowing that good things are supposed to happen to and for YOU!
To develop your consciousness or awareness you need to remember, patience , you are NOT your emotions, feelings, and you can deal with the pain of rejection and failure, because they are NOT  a person just an event!

I will leave you with a quote from Steve Jobs,  "Things don't have to change the world to be important."  WOW, WOW, WOW (Read that again)

Until our next Daily Faith Walk- Be Healthy and Safe!!

No, I did not leave you promise less, if that's even a word! My editing person was not available to combine the two audio recordings. So here we go!

I left off with the written transcript of five (5) wonderful quotes about failure and aging, which as absolutely nothing to do with your TBP-Throwback Promises.

Here's three (3) more quotes that will get you closer to your goals, dreams, and throwback promises.

Les Brown  talked about surrounding yourself with OQP- Only Quality People, this quote goes hand and hand with the OQP

"No person is your friend who demands your silence or denies your right to grow."--Alice Walker delivered this empowering message back in 1972, think about it!!

"One child, one teacher, one pen, and one book can change the world."-Malala Yousafzai, in 2014 she received the Nobel Peace Prize, before that at age  15, while on the way to school  on a bus with friends, she was shot in the head.

Look I had no idea that at age 53 years old I would be the first in my family to obtain a Bachelor's degree in social work, and now in the process of publishing my second book, starting a podcast. 

Everything that I am saying on this podcast, you already know. I simply want to make room for my gift of encouraging, comforting, and  giving hope to people in need of completing their goals, dreams, and throwback promises.

Another excerpt from my book: From Greyhound To A Cap-N-Gown: The Key to Survival, Success, and Significance.

Tuesday, May 29, 2012

Looking over my social work degree plan, my advisor suggest that I take some more classes over the summer to ensure that I graduate on time come May 3, 2014.  My heart nearly jumped out of my chest when I saw on the curriculum Elementary Statistics, heck I barely passed Algebra in high school, at that moment all the results of walking by faith was running out the door.  

Why and when will a social worker need elementary statistics, I thought but while reading the objective, outline, and other materials there were several hypotheses or proposed explanations made based on limited best practices used in the vulnerable communities for a future advocate such as myself. 

This class involved a lot of case studies and research, which I had no discipline of being a person that spent time in the library, the club, the bed may be but not those places.
This professor, in my opinion was way past the retirement age, he was very fragile due to some type of illness. Some days he would fall asleep at his desk while we did assignments in class, but hey all I am trying to do is make it to the end, which is June 15. I was not told to have a fancy calculator called the TI-84 Plus. Bless God one of my classmates had one and was not taking summer classes, so I was able to hold hers and not worry about how I was going to buy a calculator that cost a hundred bucks.

We the recording is about to end, and you have homework. Yeah those three (3) questions from Part II. Please send the responses to my email, and I will choose three (3) and have the three individuals as a guest on Facebook.

Today is the throwback Thursday promise part II. These following statements or questions are different than the audio version.

Question what are three (3) life experiences that taught you a lesson, about your #tbpromises?    Now I want you to describe three (3) things that brings you joy, while going after your goals, dreams, and throwback promises?

Last but not least name three (3) people who are your "supporting cast" or a "support system" in obtaining your goals, dreams, and throwback promises?

Too many times we get caught up in The law of diminishing state, loosing the zeal and not counting the cost, instead of concentrating on the state of improvement and needing to put in more effort at any cost to advance our goals, dreams, and throwback promises.

Nevertheless, we fall into the "I  am a failure" mode,  so here are a few quotes to bring you back to reality:

"I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I cannot accept not trying." --Michael Jordan

"Failure is an event, not a person. Yesterday ended last night".--Motivational speaker and business coach ZIG ZIGLAR

"Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving."--Terry Pratchett, Discworld, the fictional universe that bestselling author.

I list what their professions were because  they have all had goals, dreams, and throwback promises too.

Here's an excerpt throwback promise of my own, while attending Oral Roberts University at the age of fifty-one (51),  from my book: From Greyhound To A Cap-N-Gown.

Friday, May 25, 2012

Today is my 51st beloved day which I am grateful but should be farther along in my life according to the world system. Therefore, feelings of inadequacy have made what should be a happy occasion one of grief and emotional despair. Well, enough of the verbal pity party, and the only thing that is going to bring me back to this walking by faith results mode, was to follow my plan of buying a full-size bedroom suit like the old folks say, which includes the mattress, box spring, bed frames, you know the works.  No longer having a second place to sleep, enjoying  a queen-size bed at Larry's,  place, because he was back with his ex-girlfriend, after our big fight. Yes, his presence was missed, that balanced scale ( Libra) servant attitude was great and right on time when I needed it. But I could not let my flesh and emotions get in the way of God’s plans and promises, especially with me allowing the Holy Spirit to lead and guide me.  Praise God for the financial aid refund, it was God’s way of cheering me up and it worked.
Pulling out my "encouragement" bag of quotes, I ran across one that refers to the aging folks! Also, one for people who are not so supportive and have a limited view of you and themselves!

Les Brown says, "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." I guess he should know, since Mr. Brown had a long line of unsuccessful interviews before he landed a CBS Talk Show at the age of 67. 
Mae Jemison said as a "No Limit Soldier", "Never be limited by other people's limited imaginations."

Well, go do your homework, and I will upload the throwback promises episode part III.

Morning, afternoon, evening whatever the case maybe Donna here for you personally, with  a Daily Faith Walk Podcast episode (29) titled “TBP” Throwback Promises

­­­Just like throwback Thursday, (which is today) we have throwback promises, that are subconscious in our mind

Question: Do you have any TBP’s that can be achieved today or the next 21 days?

As a child we grew up with so many promises right, from our parents’, husbands, wives' and people of authority. And somehow, some way they all disappointed us.

That could be the root cause of why, we do not believe God when He makes, a promise. But in the good book of numbers chapter 23 verse 19, it says, God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?”

Because of COVID-19 our resources are few, but we have our “resourcefulness”, and that my friends came from you working the principles of life. What I like to call the THREE S’s- Survival, Success, and Significance.

 During, my daily faith walks, I stumble upon a quote from Anne Lamott, an author that I can relate to regarding being let down, she says, and I quote, “Almost everything will work again, IF you unplug it for a few minutes, including YOU.” And another saying from a comic book.

Just remember… if things look hopeless, maybe you are facing the wrong direction!
 — Ziggy, from "Ziggy," on having the right attitude.

Unplugging, much like fasting and praying is universally true, and speaks to the importance of rest. All things, including humans need to detach themselves from the day-to-day routine to function properly. This will give you time to reflect on the THROWBACK PROMISES.

Today’s live “Daily Faith Walk” is entitled “Habits Are They Changes or Chains?”

 Question: The habit or habits you have are they producing change or forming chains?

 To answer that question, we must look at so call good habits verses bad ones. For example, some say, if you do something for 21 days it becomes a habit, like exercise, but what if at that 22 day mark you have accomplished your goal.

 Is it time to drop the habit and risk going back to no exercise, or just keep doing the same workout with no real change?   Therefore, God gave man a “will” to evolve, be innovate, not just routine meaning doing the same task over, and over again. We have a brain that is craving for us to step out of our comfort zone, excuses zone, and blame zone to manifest the gifts, talents and abilities that are innate in each man being.

Langston Hughes was one of the leading poets of the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and ‘30s, an intellectual and creative celebration of Black culture. Hughes’ innovative and moving “Jazz Poetry” has inspired generations of writers. In his poem “Dreams,” he reminds us of the power of hope to lead us upwards, and the dangers of living without it. Langston Hughes the poet wrote these lines, “Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die; life is a broken-winged bird, that cannot fly.”

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.”

--MOTHER TERESA

Excerpts from : From Greyhound To A Cap-N-Gown 
Saturday, March 3, 2012

After calling one of my nephews and wishing him a Happy Birthday, something triggers the memories, of being divorced and not spending time with my son, during his becoming a man years with experiencing how to treat a woman.  This PTSD seems to occur every time I enter any type of relationship. Having a pre-dating question and answer session with myself and knowing that single men always asked the same questions, such as how many kids to you have, how many times have you been married, and the list goes on. 

But Edgar was different, he was not judgmental, just insecure, and perhaps guilty of the same crimes of the past as I was about abandonment issues, whether we did the deed or it was done to us, still we just were there for each other baggage and all. Nevertheless, it was wonderful having a man that was attractive and thought the same about me. He would encourage me to continue pursuing my degree, it was like the Holy Spirit told him something or someone was coming to restore confidence in himself too.
