Mz Schelioaas (She-Lois) Speaks - Lessons Learned

If we desire success in our pursuits, it is imperative to come into agreement with the process. Sometimes when we’re going through the process season, we may become weary, unsure, and may even grip the handle of fear.  However, during the process season we must remain flexible in order to make appropriate adjustments if necessary. Delayed outcome doesn’t mean it isn’t going to manifest, it just means we have to keep trusting the process until we get the results we desire. 

Sometimes speaking out of season can cause more problems than solutions. Although our opinion may be valid or even informative, if the timing, tone, or audience is wrong, Wisdom will speak and say, just hush. If we choose to speak out when God says hush, we can create mess and experience delayed progress. So let’s just hush when Wisdom speaks. Be blessed!

If we live long enough, devastating, threatening, and unexplainable stuff that seeming is not working in our favor is going to happen.  However, we have to be mindful not to make permanent decisions based on temporary circumstances.  Sometimes all we need to do is pause so we can reset or reconsider our circumstance and then proceed in a way that retains our hope and expectation of success.  Brothers and sisters, do not put a period where a comma belongs.  Selah!

We can literally talk ourselves out of being successful.  Before we know it, starting and quitting has become routine. Staying committed until we get what we’re after must be the main thing.  Sometimes that will require a change in our attitude or our thought process.   Instead of saying I can’t,  we have to decree that we can, we will, and then don’t stop until we do.  If success is our goal, then commitment matters.  So, it’s time to step up our commitment game and get that desire done!  Be blessed!

It can be really frustrating when you try to help others who say they want help, but there is no followthrough on their intentions.  As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. You can remove all the possible excuses from someone, but until they are really ready to drink the water, they just may be willing to die of thirst because of their stubbornness or single-mindedness.  It is time to release yourself from the assignment until they are really ready to drink.  Action will always speak louder than chatter.  Be blessed!

When it comes to handling our own business, we can sometimes experience setbacks and confusion because we unnecessarily solicit advice or approval from others.  Sometimes the advice, although good for them, is not best for us.  Receiving feedback from others isn’t necessarily bad, but the ultimate decision of how business will be handled lies with us.  At the end of the day, if our approach gives us peace of mind then it’s all good.  It is our business, so our way of how we want matters to be handled has final say so.  Be blessed!

Just because someone else’s space looks more attractive than yours, doesn’t mean that it is better.  Learn to be secure in your own space because just as you might admire the space of others, somebody is admiring your space because truth be told, your space looks pretty good too.  

Sometimes we instinctively look for the likes, approvals, and accolades of others, and it becomes emotionally problematic when we don’t receive them.   Not everybody is going to approve of what you have to offer, and that’s got to be OK with you.  Don’t look for a 100% approval rating.  Just endeavor to be a blessing to the one who is positioned to receive what you have to offer, and be thankful for the opportunity to extend the blessing. 

Unexpected, sometimes messy stuff confronts us.  To come out of a challenging situation better  as opposed to being bitter is a personal choice.  If we purpose to do so, we can come out of an ugly situation as a better  friend, spouse, sibling, parent, child, student, employee, employer, or just a better human being.  So, the next time you’re confronted with a not so pleasing situation, choose to come out of it better, not bitter.  Be blessed!

If you don’t want to stay miserable, you can’t surround yourself with miserable people.  If you believe that happiness, joy, peace, hope, love are your portions, you've gotta be more selective about the company you keep.  Since misery loves company, make the decision that is not the kind of company you want to keep.  Seek out the good vibes club only and live blessed!
