Do not waste your failures

Do not waste your failures. (someone told me this I wrote it down but I cannot remember who did)


Life for me is extraordinary and exciting, a few years ago I believed, and no one could convince me otherwise, that I failed miserably because I lost my job and man(husband) - even though they were both sucking the life out of me, anyway I digress- so that was my perception and it fed into my behavior! But now I know for sure that everything in your life is useful, and all roads lead to God, some of us take the smooth road and some take the hard road but it all leads to the same place.

Do not waste your failures - use it as fuel to live your fullest life.

Got rejected? GREAT! You are being taught self-approval and persistence!

Got fired! Awesome! It’s a wake-up call and an opportunity to trade up to something more fulfilling!

 You got broken up with! Wonderful moment to learn how to open your heart even more!

 Out of money! YES! You are being taught that The Uni-verse is your supply and to not rely on just the outer world for your health, safety and protection.
Have to live at home? What a wonderful moment to stop with the social media and get back to loving!

 Do not waste your failures - all things are lessons that God would have us learn.

 So listen, this is not a call for you to bury your head in the sand and do nothing but as one of my friends told me this week, feel it, cuddle yourself if you must and move on.
Do not waste your failures!
And as I was contemplating this, my peeps from Kenya asked me to come to Nairobi to talk at their "Fail -Up" workshop - a workshop where lessons on how failure was part of the journey to success! How awesome is that? The Universe talks and I listen
Do not waste your failures!
Peace!!

 I will be at the First Citizens Women's Workshop in October - come dong.....

What is being of service? Looking upon another human being with kindness and compassion and not judgement is a profound act of service and though such a form of service lacks for whistles and bells, this expression of “service” comes from truly understanding the power of your soul and what it means to “look upon another with eyes of grace.” Carolyn Myss 1.

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

What Does Support Look Like to You?

  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...
