Not everyone can get a seat on the bus!!

Be willing to go alone. Many who started with you won't finish with you. Tony A. Gaskins Jr.



Sometimes you have to get the courage to go it alone, sometimes you're going to piss people off, they are not going to agree with everything that you do but you have to be ok with that. I've learnt that people pleasing is most times a fear of losing love. I said yes to everything I was asked, I found a way to do it, I look for solutions. In my relationship, I was the doer, the dream was hatched and brought to me to execute, I've also learnt you need to keep your dreams no matter what! thats a non negotiable. Find the courage to stop the bus, to put some people off!  Be 100% self approved, Its ok.I was told "Get a good job, grow up", "what are you doing?" but its now nonnegotiable do what brings you joy!


So what did I learn today?
Sometimes you have to be willing to walk by yourself for a minute. Sometimes your homegirl or homeboy, your mama or daddy, your woman or your man won’t get your vision. But if no one else gets your vision, that’s okay because God didn’t give your vision to them. God gave your vision to YOU.” I can do anything I want to do! Anything that my heart truly chooses, And it may be a lonely journey but it’s mine! It’s my purpose! I may have to leave some things behind me, I may have to let somepeople off the bus I may have to change my mind And I can’t bring everybody with me, They will be better off for having known me, So I just breathe!

Peace!!!

    I truly love this one. Many times on the lonely ride is when you really find yourself and your dream and where your vision(mission) becomes clear/clearer.

    We have to accept that each of us is unique and therefore will think unique things that does not belong to others...and that is okay. Even if that someone does not see your vision, but they see you and appreciate what they see, then you may have ridden alone but you were not alone and you would have reached with someone.

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

Image
  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
