A different approach may lead to different results

I've decided to stay indoors today to enjoy the rain without getting wet. :o) I swear its raining elephants, more so than cats and dogs outside. I love this type of weather, so I'm sitting on the couch watching one of my favorite movies - "Coming to America." While watching this movie for the thousandth time, the thought came to mind..'why do I notice something new each time I watch this movie?'

I don't know the answer to this million dollar question.

So, I began pondering my own life immediately in hopes of finding an answer to this self imposed question...(I'm not crazy, I promise). Without going into detail, I pondered an important decision made years ago that if given the adequate preparation would've resulted in a different outcome. If I was able to revisit the problem as often as I was able to revisit this movie, a different answer or a different perspective would've resulted each time.

Unfortunately life does not operate like the STOP/PLAY button on a DVD player. So, the best we can do is ensure that we think things through thoroughly before making a decision to ensure that we're making the best possible decision. Thinking things through may lead to a different approach and this different approach may lead to a different result.

Remember, you're not in a race. Take your time, think things through. A delayed decision is sometimes the best decision. I will admit that my decision was made rather hastely, but God is good. If you replay a decision you've made in the past, would you come up with a different solution/result? I think so. I think its b/c you're more prepared to make the decision.

Today's eating habits may lead to tomorrow's Dr's visits....

Life is irreplaceable.

To live your best life, you must increase your vitamin intake, eat well, EXERCISE, and live a stress free life.

My testimony:

"I've been taking LeVive for almost 4 months and have noticed a change almost immediately. I no longer have painful migraines that plagued me every week, I am no longer taking allergy meds, I have more energy, and I feel more alert in the morning!"

"I have a full-time job, am on the board of 3 non-profits, have my own business, am active in church, mentor at-risk youth, take dance classes and LOVE to read....so I need ALLLL the energy I can get. Before Le Vive, I struggled to maintain it all. Since taking LeVive, I am more alert in the morning (I'm not a morning person!) and find myself taking on additional tasks b/c I am so full of life!"

If you're interested in Le'Vive, feel free to contact me! I have other nutritional products as well, that can boost your immunity, help restore hair loss, combat insomnia, and help manage/eliminate a whole list of other ailments if taken regularly. I would love to hear from you!!

I don't know about you, but I'm trying to preserve my health so that I can live a healthy life.

Let me help you live your best life!!!

Faith

I went to church this morning and our pastor preached on "Faith."

We've all heard the biblical phrase 'if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains.' Have you tested this theory? If your answer is "no," I believe you're wrong. We have all tested faith. Before I begin with my examples on ways we've tested faith, let's define "faith." Faith is that silent belief that when we say something will happen, it will in fact happen. The biblical definition is: "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen." Hebrews 11:1

We have tested faith when we get in our cars and drive to work, knowing we will get to our destination safely. We've tested faith when we've said to ourselves that the person driving on the opposite side of the road will not cross the double lines and hit us head on. We've tested faith that when asked a question, an answer will come forth from our mouths. Faith is that silent belief that something we say will happen will in fact happen.

Thus if you're trying to improve your life, trust in yourself and have the same faith mentioned above. Believe that your life has already been improved and you'll be surprised how things will automatically change for the better. Surround yourself with positive people and thoughts and you'll see a change in as soon as a week. You'll notice a change in confidence.

Chances are your salary is about $3 - $5K away from the salaries of our friends. So if you're trying to be rich, meet new friends! I did not say, disassociate yourself from your old friends...notice, I only said "meet new friends." We can all stand to meet new people. I guarantee that those new people will inspire you to do better. They will teach you to think rich. Its all about changing your mindset. Believing and then executing. But before you can begin executing (changing your life), you must BELIEVE that you can and have FAITH that you will.

You can't do wrong for too long....

With the threat of more layoffs in the background, many people are scared. Scared to follow their dreams, scared to find new jobs, scared to dream, and scared to fulfill their divine purpose. Are you in this category? Don't be afraid to admit it. Acceptance is the first step to cure.

Let me begin by telling you that the spirit of fear is NOT of God. As a child of the most High, you are equipped to lead and not follow, have more and not less, succeed and not fail. Develop in your relationship with God. Talk to Him. Let Him know yours wants/needs, likes/dislikes. God gives the desires of your heart. But is your heart clean? Are your needs really wants? Are you being true to yourself.

Ask yourself these questions and be honest with your answers. No one but yourself would know the answers to these questions. If you're not living right, "you can't do wrong for too long" b/c the time will come when the dark will come to light. Time is of the essence as Jesus is on his way soon.

So:
Love & Believe in God,
Dream Big
Cease bad thoughts
Love abundantly
Forgive Easily
Be slow to anger
Be truthful (to yourself and others)
Create goals
Follow your dreams
Motivate yourself

And most importantly, monitor what you feed your sub-conscious. If you feed it garbage, you will get garbage in return. If you study inspirational/motivational documents on a daily basis, you will notice changes in your life. I guarantee the changes will be for the better. I'm a living testament. I feed nothing but positive news into my system. I seldom watch news on TV, I read the newspaper. Reading the newspaper gives me the opportunity to choose the news I feed into my mind, body and spirit; which leads to a more positive experience.

Take care of yourself (mind, body, and most importantly your Soul)! Become an active contributor in your community. Make the world a better place! Remember Get right or get LEFT!!

Be ye grateful

Tonight my aunt witnessed to me about God's wondrous works in her life. And as she revealed her testimony, it made me reflect on my own life. How I've complained and worried about trivial things....problems others would gladly relinquish their own issues in exchange for.

As my aunt went through her testimony, the saying "but by the Grace of God...." kept repeating in my head. Without revealing my aunt's testimony, let's just say that "if it weren't for God, His grace AND mercy, my aunt would not be here today in sound mind and body to relay her testimony. Only a child of God could've survived such trials and come out triumphant. Like Job (in the bible), my aunt kept her faith and God has kept her in the midst of it all. Those trials seemed higher than the tallest mountain in the world, but they were no match for God. He showed up and CONTINUES to show out.

After listening to the testimony, I realized that my problems and concerns are minuscule in comparison. Thus, I resolve to be a better steward. I resolve to grow more in my christian faith. I resolve to pray more and complain less. I resolve to cast EVERY care upon the Lord so that HE may direct my path. I resolve to give God ALL my concerns regarding the growth of my business (Azillerating Bodies). I will have increased faith and do the works God requires and that's it. I resolve to cease with the worrying and stressing. God said in the bible that he will handle EVERY care and burden.

My friends, if you're constantly worrying about things in your life, STOP! Don't worry or stress. Stress does not solve problems. Stress is a silent killer. Be grateful. Find God. Develop a relationship with Him. Find a church home. If you don't want to find a church, listen to a sermon on TBN until you feel comfortable to find a church home for your spiritual nourishment. Pray and let God direct your path.

Remember: 'The Lord is your light and your salvation, of whom shall you fear?...The Lord is the strength of your life, of whom shall you be a afraid?' Psalms 27:1

I love you in spirit.

"You don't have to be great to get started. You just have to get started to be great!"

I came across this quote on my friend Bert's Facebook page and felt the need to share. This quote is such a true statement. Many use the fear of failure as a deterrent from reaching their true potential. We use the fear of the unknown as a road block. Why is this so?

I think its because many have gotten used to instant gratification. Due to the advances in technology, many are used to seeing results asap; not realizing the thought, work, and sacrifice that was put in before the product/idea became successful.

To ensure you're not falling into that trap, resolve to do better. Begin on a clean slate. Let today be the beginning of the rest of your life. Dream, Visualize, Pen, and Execute. Its that simple.

Dream - Dream about your wants and needs. Envision that idea/product/thing, etc. that'll make you happy. Act as though it already exists.

Visualize - Think about it. Visualize your self with this idea/product/thing, etc. BE SPECIFIC! Visualize your behavior and your life with it. Visualize every minute detail and think about it daily. Affirming this visualization is key as well.

Pen - Write it down! This is your game plan, your STRATEGY! Write the visualization as an affirmation. Affirm that its yours. Write it down and OWN IT!

Execute - Turn the dream into a reality. Affirmations normally result in confirmation. Claim it! Confirm and make that dream a reality. All of the things you've visualized and written (in your affirmations and plan) should be made a reality. This is where you take the steps. Where you put your vision into fruition by putting in work.

With these steps you are bound to succeed. The writers of "The Secret" made millions of dollars practicing this method that's been around for a long time. There are many success stories confirming this method. So why wait? Stop being an observer...be a doer! Be who you are destined to be.

If you call yourself your Father's child, when are you going to begin exhibiting your Father's traits?!
