Dear Little One

This episode is the 25th and the last episode of this season. The first season of this podcast has been so great, and I want to thank everyone that has joined me each week. Sometimes no matter how big something is, you have to know when to step back a little and pause.

Personally, this will help me take time and recharge (and that's something we all need at some point) which will lead to more clarity toward what this show truly means to me and everyone listening.

If you'd like to connect with me, I'm on Facebook as May Anne Deseo and on Instagram as @mdeseo. You can follow the Dear Little One page on Facebook and Instagram as well. Or email me at [email protected].

See you next season!

Napoleon Hill said, "You can't change where you started, but you can change the direction you're going. It's not what you are going to do, but it's what you're doing now that counts."

If you feel a little lost, remember that it's okay to take a moment and step back and decide on what you want. If you already have that figured out, take a moment to go over your goals again. Motivate yourself to take another step, then another, and another.

Remember that if you feel like you need to remind yourself who you are, you can. There are so many opportunities to do that. Gather all your pieces and hold them together tightly. Get control of your actions and emotions, and get your ducks in a row. I could go on and on with more idioms, but I won't. Though, I will say this. You were not born to mope; you were born to cope.

We say it all the time. Progress is progress, no matter how slow or small. You'll see progress every day if you keep going at it. Don't expect to get there right away. The next time you feel like you're not making progress or not achieving your goals, pause. Take a moment. Breathe, and know that despite the down days and the worst of the worst days, you're strong. Remember where you get your strength and security. --- Check out our media partner: http://ambidextr.media

COVID-19 has allowed us to see the value of keeping in touch, how some relationships couldn't have worked out in the long run and how important staying connected with your loved ones is. In times when we're troubled and need someone to talk to, we turn to our friends or family or seek a strong, familiar bond. How do you stay connected despite the distance? --- Check out our media partner: http://ambidextr.media

What are you interested in creating or doing? What is something that you feel like would give you a sense of fulfillment, but wouldn't feel like an obligation? Perhaps it's what helps you manage your stress and helps you focus. In this week's feature episode, with our guest Jody Solis, we're diving into what a passion project is, how to start it, recharging once we feel a little demotivated, and taking that first step. --- Check out our media partner: http://ambidextr.media

You might be going through something right now that makes you reflect on where you are and where you're going. Remember that despite your doubts, there's something you can do. You can deal with it. Trust yourself. Have faith in yourself, and remember the good stuff. Norman Vincent Peale said, "Have faith in your abilities! Without humble but reasonable confidence in your powers, you can't be successful or happy." Own what you got and believe in yourself! This week, remember that if you ever face doubt, hold on to your faith and remember to be grateful for all that has, is, and will be.

You know that feeling when you feel like you've been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? You feel heavy as if someone or something is weighing you down. When we are overwhelmed with responsibilities and opportunities, we are most likely to experience massive amounts of pressure. At moments like this, we feel like our lives need unloading. When the pressures of life become too much to handle, it's easy to fall and get knocked over. Les Brown said, "When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Let your reason get you back up."

We tend to worry a lot, and it turns into a cycle. When we worry, we focus on what will happen when we fail. Unless you've reshaped your thinking of failure as a way of learning, you will continue to focus on what could go wrong in your life. Matthew 6:34 says, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." This week, take time to set aside your worries. Don't give in to the cycle of everything that went and could go wrong.

As much as we'd like to, we can't change events, especially the ones that are beyond our control. The best thing to do is really to accept what's happening and try to adapt in whatever way you can to the change that's taking place. There's a quote that says, "forward is forward, no matter what pace." In this episode, my good friend Joey Angsingco opens up about how she's been able to pace herself through change.
