You know that one person you didn't really like before ? Or that person that you've always thought didn't produce great work ? When you find out that they are a nice person, or that they are actually great at their work, don't be afraid to admit that you were wrong. If people say you are fake because you now hang out with the person you previously didn't like...let them know that you're not fake. You've changed your mind, and that's okay.

There are times when you avoid someone or something because you can't do much for them. You don't want to visit your family often, because your hope was that by now you would have bought your parents a house. You don't want to see your friend who lost someone close, because you cannot give them what you would like to. You avoid your employees, because you know they deserve more, but you cannot afford more. You keep running away from everything and everyone, telling yourself that you have good intentions and that you will return when you've "hammered" - in your mind, "hammering" will make up for absence.

As you progress on your lifes journey, you will recieve several invitations and offers to show up and show out. Learn to choose them just as much as they choose you. I ask myself certain questions, "Will I be speaking about a subject matter that is in line with my current mission?", "Does this interview add value to my God given mission ?", "Is this invitation simply going to massage my ego ?".

It's very tough not to get caught up in the things that lay infront of you. The people that try to break your spirit, situations and things that test your faith. The crazy part is when you're keeping the faith, and your energy level is up, is when all the annoying spirits show up to try and remind you that you ain't got things under control. And they're right, you don't. But God does! Your job isn't to run around headless, trying to solve. Nope. God is working on it (whatever it is).

I need to share this for someone. As a business owner, one of the insecurities I have experienced in the past are peoples assumptions about the skills of a "creative" person. My academic background is in Economics and Business, and over the years I have managed other peoples businesses. In business, my primary gift is visioning, and my primary skills are operations and finding the value/money in any business, product, or platform. Being both creative and analytical, has allowed me build several businesses for people. Yet, when I would have challenges within my business, the advice I'd get from people around me was "Maybe you should let someone else do the business side."

Have you ever made a decision not to befriend or work with someone, solely based on an experience someone else shared with you ? I think many people make this decision all the time, and I understand it. There are 4 things that usually happen in this situation.

Get in here real quick. All the prayers you do, the messages you hear, the positive energy, can be zapped in a 60 second conversation with someone you love and respect - Your parents, Your siblings, Your spouse, Your close friends. There are people in your life who speak negative things to you, not always because they don't want you to succeed, but because they are projecting their own fears, hurts, the inability to see visions for their own lives.

Many of you are waiting for extraordinary opportunities and missing out on your training. Your vision of the post-wilderness experience is "I go Hammer". First of all, "wilderness" is not a synonym for financial challenges. And the "promise land" is not a synonym for money. I believe it is blasphemous to equate such a spiritually insightful experience to money matters. Don't do it. It's important for me to clarify this.

Listen...When God is for you, He's all the proof you need. In that moment of frustration and fear, you may have a "let me hold on to this, just incase" . And if you're a type of person, you don't need to invite that toxicity into your life. Now, I delete my conversations as I have them, because the devil can't use me for petty things. He can't. So, as I finish my convo, I hit that clear chat button. Don't let another persons actions/inactions sway you out of character. Hit Delete.
