LIFE is what YOU MAKE iT...

It's time for a change and to be real with ourselves if we ever plan to rise above the challenges of life...

Time to take an honest assessment of how we've been spending our time AND most importantly...with WHO!!!!!!!

It doesn't matter who you are, how much money you make or where you're from...We ALLLLL have the same 24 hours in a day so we choose what our lives will turn out to be...WE CHOOSE!

life is what you make it...YOU

NOT YOUR...

-Spouse

-Children

-Lover

-Friends

-Co-Workers

-Enemies

-Family

-Loved Ones

-Business Associates

WHOEVER

LIFE  IS  WHAT  YOU  MAKE  IT!

Each & every day presents a new set of challenges, choices and opportunities! Be EXTREMELY careful as to what actions you choose to take my friend! Why?

BECAUSE YOUR VERY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!!!

Don't be deceived by people, places, or THINGS!

Our lives shouldn't be based upon pleasing individuals who really have no intentions  for supporting or loving us while we put our everything into making their lives richer!

Remember to always take a second to weigh the pros & cons of any and every situation in your life that you are ever faced with!

Meaning...if I (fill in the blank) than the positive consequences of this CHOICE are....AND if I DON'T(fill in the blank) what's bad about it is...

Consider all of the possible variables involved..ALL of the factors..THIS IS KEY!!!!

DON'T JUST DO WHAT feels GOOD

don't just do what FEELS good!!!!

BE  FOR     R  E  A L with yourself at all times....

LIFE  IS  WHAT  you     you   you   YOUUUUUUUUU

make it

CHOOSE    VERY    W I S E L Y :)

Love You,

YOUR Sister  Amanda

RESPECT   YOURSELF

Sometimes its easy to get caught up in the heat of the moment & that causes us to be less objective & mindful of our actions.Nobody wants to be thought of as a person who has little to no respect for themselves or would deliberately disrespect someone else for that matter.But thats exactly what we do sometimes without even thinking about it.

RESPECT YOURSELF

I can only speak on myself though.Without putting myself out  there,I have, like a lot of other people out there, done things that I'm not too proud of &  then later regretted it!Why? Not respecting myself...thats a lonely place to be.

Always value yourself & remember that you are worthy of respect & love.If others don't recognize that in you...than pick new people to hang out with.You are the only you on this planet like you!You gotta live with yourself for the rest of your life...so learn to have love for who you are.

Everyday is a new opportunity to began again.Brush the mistakes of the past off of your shoulders & start anew.Look in the mirror & tell yourself that you are respectable lovable & worthy!!! EVERYDAY DO THIS!!!

Your body is your temple...RESPECT IT! Inwardly & outwardly! Be cautious of the thoughts you meditate on...especially your perception of yourself! Think & speak positively about yourself! Don't spend a lot of time dwelling on past failures or mistakes because that is like a poison that will counteract any good you try to do!

Respecting yourself is mandatory!You are a valuble gift to this world & remember that always!!

No one is perfect,remember that too.Give yourself the necessary time to grieve but then KEEP IT MOVING!

PLEASE...know how great you are!

Slow down & breathe...LIFE

think LOVE & JOY

RESPECT YOURSELF MY FRIEND!

MUCH  LOVE♥

Don’t take no for an answer! No matter what...you gotta keep it moving...even when you encounter difficulties and resistance.

Sometimes you have to press hard, really hard...like a girl putting on her hair weave with that cheap bonding glue (and ladies 4 the record I recomend either a sewn in or a lace front)

Some people are going to be angry and I mean ANGRY that you are living out your dreams...so their main objective is to find a way to get you focused on their negativity to distract you from your purpose...DON’T FALL FOR IT !!!!!

refused to be denied... refused to be denied... refuse,refuse

There is a scripture in the Bible about this very thing and sometimes I think about it a lot as I pursue fame and fortune. I believe in my heart that there's nothing wrong or immoral about wanting more for your life and your family, but I also believe that this alone shouldn't be MY sole pursuit. I in no means wish to condemn anyone because I am nobody's judge,I'm still working on me!I do know that I don't wish to become a person that spends the majority of life in such pursuit of "things" and the approval of people that I miss out on the true meaning of my life's purpose!

Today ponder this question:What Profits A Man 2 Gain The Whole World & Lose His Own Soul?

...The Whole World to you may not necessarily mean fame and platinum records, but whatever it is to you...examine it in your own heart.

One translation of the word "soul" that I read simply stated your soul is your feeler, your thinker and your chooser!I thought to myself, how powerful!!

Now try substituting certain key words in this biblically based question to ponder

For me it would sound something like this:

What profits AMANDA 2 gain fame,acclaim,riches,recoginition and fans and lose her thinker,her feeler and her chooser?

That question completely transformed my way of thinking in making key decisions as I thought about it!

What would your question be?
