R-E-A-L-L-Y take it in

Everyone is in their own world right now. Uncertainty everywhere. Luxury is good but personally with unpredictability hovering those cars keys won’t laugh back at my silly jokes. Tomorrow is the new unknown future so all I ask is a little intervention from hope and love. I feel desperation kicking in. That’s when I need my sanity the most. To silence the now mentality. Or perhaps that’s the fighting spirit in me letting me know I still have some fight left in me. Don’t give up! Don’t give in! Silence the world outside and listen to inner peace.

Those lucky enough to have someone by their side during this pandemic to hold, embrace and assure them that everything is going to be alright, don’t take it for granted. Appreciate every kind gesture you get and return it back . Nothing is guaranteed . The solo ladies and gentlemen out there, I call you brave. Those strong enough to not use this pandemic to fall back into all habits,I celebrate you all. Keep going. Focus all that energy on achieving the impossible in trying times. You are remarkable. It will pay off eventually.

Last but not least there is me. I don’t know how I do it. It’s who I am purposed to be. Inspirational yet pretty messed up. Everyone who has experienced a blow in life knows that staying down only helps you strategize and come back strongest.

You know how we all joke and say welcome to the rest of your life? Baibèé this is it. This is the beginning of the rest of our lives. Some will be in denial and search for what was. Others will be stuck in what is. The rest will merge forward and never look back.

So, anything you have been uncertain of, that relationship, job or lifestyle, it’s all about to change. Lack has a way of showing us what truly matters. Spending time with someone/something gives you insight of who/what they really are. Ain’t it funny how things work themselves?

All in all, not all is lost. There is so much left. We were just swamped with getting ahead in life we forget to live. What is the significance of slow motion? There is something in life that requires our undivided attention. For us to R-E-A-L-L-Y take it all in.

Those are my #MagazineThoughts turned to a #RealityCheck

Do Not take too much time....

So much anger, hatred and bitterness overwhelming many lives. You have every right to be angry, disappointed and frustrated. You don’t expect others to feel or understand you by walking around bitter and hatred. Take time off and allow yourself to grieve. Let it all out. DO NOT TAKE TOO MUCH TIME BURIED IN SORROW. It will just rob you of time and what’s left of your life. When faced with sadness or loss, sometimes we find ourselves throwing away the good times and memories it brought with it.

The many missed opportunities to make the best of the worst. Rediscover yourself. Stop observing others and start living life intentionally for yourself. If no one reports their life to you every morning, why are you giving them the benefit of a doubt with yours? Take a month off. Better yet two. Okay fine, take half the year off. Now, hear me out. Come December 31st 2020, what will you tell your hopeful self? Do you think it’s fair you keep postponing your own happiness by allowing setbacks hold you back?

You have really convinced yourself that life hates you that much that’s why you never seem to catch a break. See you can’t feed yourself negativity and expect positivity in return. How would you know it if you keep blocking generosity with anger, peace with hatred. Goodness aren’t you tired of being tired all the time from years of self carried burdens? It’s like trying to fill a broken vase with water. The only thing that little water will attract is dust & afew mosquitoes. What’s attractive about that?

There was more to life before your anger and there will be more to life after. The constant words here being THERE and MORE TO LIFE. Only one thing standing in their way, you. Don’t be so consumed with the present least you forget the past. Again there is yet still more to come. People will outgrow you eventually. God won’t. People will give up on you, God hasn’t. He knows how to speak your language fluently that’s why only you understand your own pain well enough. It’s never the end until you have fulfilled your purpose.

Unless you start focusing on your own wins, you will always compare your life to others. Competing with others won’t prompt your success. The world is already hungry so don’t allow it to swallow you alive by hiding behind fear, hatred and bitterness. Do your best and leave the rest to God. Sometimes God takes too long. No that’s you wanting God to direct your life according to your timing. Where are you going in a hurry? Everyone else is on planet Earth. I mean this literally, “Come back to Earth”. Someone needs you.
