When you travel, do you use a map of some sort? Yes and no, if I’m familiar with my destination then no I don’t need a map and if I’m unfamiliar with the territory I definitely need to use a map. With our technology getting to our destination is much easier. All you have to do is enter in the location or address you’re trying to get to and push the start button. You are able to see an overview of where you’re going, you have a voice to speak to you when you need to get on or off the highway or make turns, and for the old school people you have a feature to actually see a list of the directions that you can read step by step for which roads to take.

Here’s the tough question, in regards to your life and where you’re going what road map have you created? It’s important to have a map for yourself. This year I want to do this. In five years, I want to be here, living here, married with kids, making this much. Ten years from now the kids will be this age, I’ll be married for this long, the next phase of our lives look like this. I see people spend more time planning their vacation then sitting down to plan out their entire life. Take some time to map out what you want to do, be, and have in the next 1, 5, 10, and 20 years. Map Quest your life!

There is something you can appreciate when you’re going through a struggle. Yes, it’s temporary but the lessons learned is priceless. People that had everything given to them I can’t relate to because I had to fight for what is mine. And what is mine you better believe I value it. I know you can relate because what you fought for, you’re not going to give away easily. So, it’s ok to struggle. Embrace it and understand this is what you need to handle the next level. 

Struggle struggle struggle

Is where you find your grind and hustle

Struggle struggle struggle

Is where you find strength in your muscles

Struggle struggle struggle

Is where you find vision because life is like a puzzle

It’s through the struggle where everyone wants to skip

Not knowing through the struggle, you have to embrace it as a gift!

Never under estimate the power of small talk. I was working as a concierge in the Highland Park community in Texas and at this particular building it had very little traffic. I had permission from upper management that I could bring a book and read at my desk during down time. When the residences and guest would come through the  lobby, I would have a small talk with them. There was a gentleman that would stop by the desk to ask me what I was reading and so forth. Through small conversations I got to know his family and children, also he told me that I inspire him. Now this man is a CEO of a well know company and for certain magazines they feature his business often. Well one day it was brought to my attention that his article was wrote about me saying, “I’m a positive guy and a up in coming entrepreneur that has a bright future ahead…” Hearing this news was pretty cool, until I saw and read the whole paragraph it was actually mind-blowing because I didn’t think I had so much influence on so many people. Small talks have opened up so many doors for me and they can too for you. You never know who might come into contact with and you never know who’s listening to what you’re saying.

What’s something that you cannot go without or has some kind of control over you? Is it eating sweets or a particular type of food, what about being on social media all day or watching tv, maybe drinking alcohol or doing drugs? Commit to going a day or two or a week from that thing that has a hold on you. 

I fast for personal and spiritual reasons cutting out certain foods, alcohol, sex, social media, tv, radio, and the internet. My experience with fasting is that I get more discipline, gaining more control back over my flesh, and spiritually in tune. When you fast you actually fast forward in life.

Be responsible, take ownership for your actions. Lead by example and ask God for His direction and wisdom. You are the head and not the tail, you are strong and not weak, you are rich and not poor. I command you to step up to the plate and take charge of your life. You were created to do amazing things and you have everything within you to do so. Get up and go about your day with authority because God has not given you the spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind! This is my prayer for you, take charge. Amen!

1 Corinthians 3:6-7 “I have planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then, neither is he that planteth anything, nor he that watereth, but God who giveth the increase.”

It’s funny how there has been some things spoken to you directly or even heard and then God sent someone to water that seed that has been planted inside you. Let me give you an example, I was taking a road trip with my next-door neighbor up to the college he’s attending. We ate lunch at the cafeteria and he gave me a tour of the campus. Before we left the campus, our last stop was to their bookstore. As my neighbor was looking for some books for his curriculum I ended up waiting in the lobby until he was finished. With my bubbly personality I started having a conversation with a student and her dad. The things I was mentioning to her was almost exactly the same words her father had spoken to her. But this time it was different, she really understood what her daddy was trying to tell her all the time. The words that were spoken to her from her dad she would always blow them off because it was a familiar voice. In this situation, the parent was the seed sower and me being in tune with the spirit I was the person to water those seeds. Growth took place at that divine moment and God always get the glory. Allow each theme I talk about to either be a seed planted inside or a water holes to watered what has been spoken!

Do you have an ear to hear? Hear what…? The alarm goes off, you have to wake up to get ready for work, get the kids up to get them ready for school, choose your outfit for the day, eat some breakfast, dah dah dah. I’m just giving you a scenario even though for some this is exactly how your morning goes. Your day is busy as soon as you awake not even getting a chance to tune-in with oneself. Taking a second for mediation or prayer to get your mind right for the day. Set your ear to the frequency of what God is saying for today and allow Him to use you. He is speaking, just tune-in.

When you spray a fragrance you can see a mist, vaporizing moisture that fades off into the invisible. It does leave an aroma where you can use your sense of smell to understand that something took place to create that scent. Then eventually the scent will wear off in time. Life is like a “MIST”… You’re here for a moment and then you’re gone forever. What actions are people seeing from you publicly or privately and what scent are you creating? Be remembered by a pleasant fragrance: Like being kind to one another. Make the most out of this “MISTY” Monday!

Starting over can be very tough, from a divorce, losing your home from a natural disaster or foreclosure, having your wallet stolen with all your id’s and bank cards, getting laid off or fired to choosing another career, or important files lost on your computer. You reminisce about the wonderful memories created in that relationship, job, or dream home you'd built. Also, all the time and energy spent on working on those important files. To be honest it sucks, we plan things and it doesn’t go our way. On the brighter side starting over can be refreshing because you have a clean slate. Each phase in life you gain a little bit more wisdom so if you lost it all, remember that you didn’t lose your mind. Be open minded about the new possibilities that will be created when starting over.
