THE GAME OF LIFE AND HOW TO PLAY IT|| EXCERPTS

What’s up, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this post meets you well. I was thinking about what to share today and it popped. Here’s what I want to share. Excerpts from a book by Florence Scovel Shin. This book “The Game of Life and How to Play It,” is amazing. Here’s a few excerpts that popped to me. Enjoy:

“The robbers of time are the past and the future. Man should bless the past, and forget it, if it keeps him in bondage, and bless the future, knowing it has in store for him endless joys, but live fully in the now.”

“It is man’s divine right to have plenty! More than enough!

“His barns should be full, and his cup should flow over!” This is God’s idea for man, and when man breaks down the barriers of lack in his own consciousness, the Golden Age will be his, and every righteous desire of his heart fulfilled!”

“Man receives only that which he gives. The Game of Life is a game of boomerangs. Man’s thoughts, deeds and words, return to him sooner or later, with astounding accuracy.

This is the law of Karma, which is Sanskrit for “Comeback.” “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

“This is the perfect idea of man, registered in Divine Mind, awaiting man’s recognition; for man can only be what he sees himself to be, and only attain what he sees himself attaining.

“Nothing ever happens without an on-looker” is an ancient saying.

Man sees first his failure or success, his joy or sorrow, before it swings into visibility from the scenes set in his own imagination. We have observed this in the mother picturing disease for her child, or a woman seeing success for her husband.

Jesus Christ said, “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”

So, we see freedom (from all unhappy conditions) comes through knowledge – a knowledge of Spiritual Law.”

IT IS NOT THEM|| IT IS I WHO MUST CHANGE

What’s up everyone? Thank you for checking out my blog today. It’s always a joy to post a blog. Today is a beautiful day and I hope you’re having a good day.

So today, I want to talk about your words. Your words have the power to ensnare you and free you. 

Who have you given access to your energy filled that has brought so much dirt into your life?

Who is that demon you have given access to your mind, bringing you pain and distress?

Your life is always the sum total of the thoughts you think and the people around you.

Every word you speak is a spirit that either blesses you or curses you. 

As women, we often let ourselves get carried away by “love” or affection. Thinking we are supposed to help heal a man or make him feel comfortable or show him we are here for him even at the expense of our sanity and happiness. We were never meant to hurt for love. Love is supposed to be empowering not disempowering. Love is hope not dirt.

We deceive ourselves when we think we have to put ourselves down in order to raise others up. What if we can put ourselves up and at same time raise others up?

In this world, the truth about our true divine nature has been twisted. We think peace is not real but chaos is normal. We think prosperity has to be achieved through suffering and pain. We think love is war but it’s all a lie.

Truth is, we become what we think. No wonder most of humanity is suffering and in pain. Because we’ve all believed a LIE! 

Our minds are the center of Divine activity. When we focus on negativity, we create it and live in it. 

My goal is to help wake more people up to their true nature. Since I found this truth out for myself, I’ve been very excited to share with the world. You’re my world. So, stop speaking about things and people that constantly break your heart. Start speaking about circumstances and people you’d love in your life.

The goal is to get in alignment with the good you desire. You, deserve good! You deserve to be happy, prosperous, healthy and joyful. Don’t think it is up to people or things. It’s all within you. 

Make a decision that you will focus on the things you want and clear your mind of all that you don’t want. 

Don’t let anyone steal your joy!

THIS IS WHY YOU ARE STUCK

Good morning, Wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this blog meets you in great spirit. Today is a beautiful day and I am thankful for the opportunity to send you some love through my post.

So, why do you feel stuck? Why are you stuck? The reason you’re stuck. Have you ever felt stuck in life. Have you ever felt left behind. You know that feeling where everyone else seems to be doing better than you and have something exciting happening for them but you?

I believe everyone of us has felt that way. For most of us, it’s become a normal way of life but it shouldn’t be at all.

Feeling stuck has more to do with your psychological state than your physical state. Everything starts with the mind. When your mind is consumed with resentment and negativity, you won’t experience progress. It’s like cementing yourself in concrete in front of your house and expecting to sprint at the same time. You’re glued. There can’t be movement where the mind is consumed with resentment and unforgiveness and shame. My answer to you is LET GO! Release those part hurts and pain. Release the situation or person holding you back. Actually, you’re holding yourself back by harboring all that junk. LET IT GO!

Say this out loud “I forgive and let go of everything and everyone holding me back.!” Then jump up and stand in a superhero pose, with a smile on your face. Go for a walk. Call someone you care about and wish them well.

The act of letting go frees you from being stuck and opens you up to possibilities. 

I hope this helps you!

REJECTING GIFTS FROM SOME PEOPLE

Hello wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this blog meets you well. It’s Saturday and something came to my attention that I couldn’t help but share with you.

One of my teachers said something that resonated with me. Here it is 

“When somebody gives you a gift and you do not accept it, who does it belong to? The giver of the gift. If anyone gives you anger and hate, if you do not react to it or accept it, who does it belong to? That person.”(paraphrased)

Why did the above statement resonate with me? Here’s why. I have had many hateful things projected and done against me, the goal is to get a reaction from me. In most cases I haven’t reacted but in some, I have. In the time I did react, the excitement was for a moment and then afterwards, it dissipated. Now, I realize that I don’t have to react or take the gift of hate and anger from ignorant and demon possessed people. I realize that my focus is my power. I choose to reject negative gifts and focus on good gifts. 

You can do the same. Don’t ever take or accept negative conditions, projections and wills of ignorant and hateful people and conditions. 

You’re a being of Divine love, power and will. You have power to create. 

Focus on the good, harmonious and lovely. Don’t waste any more of your Divine energy on useless and unprofitable things.

Don’t let anyone steal your joy!

HOW YOUR MINDSET IS AFFECTING YOUR MONEY

Hello friends! I hope this blog meets you well. Today I wanted to share a profound quote with you. It really inspired me and I wanted to share it with you today. My desire is for all my followers and friends to experience Divine peace, prosperity, love and perpetual joy. 

So, without further delays, here’s the quote:

“What is the remedy for the conditions of poverty and lack?  We must enlarge our consciousness of Substance and increase our faith in God. Why is it that some people live in perpetual limitation and want?  They possess a belief that they can never be rich. Why can a negative mind not produce wealth and success?  A negative mind is a non-productive and non-creative mind. The negative mind inhibits, scatters, and obstructs all of the desirable things. Why is the mind more important in demonstrating prosperity than the hands?  The mind governs and works through the hands. Everything in the Universe began as an idea of the mind; if the mind and hands of a man do not move in the same direction, he will never get rich. He will, so to speak, be short-circuiting the power that can make him prosperous. What should one do if one’s supply of money is insufficient for his needs?  The first thing to do is to drop all worry and fear. The second thing is to turn attention to God. The third thing is to recognize that God’s Substance is here now.”

Putting the Prosperity Idea To Work by Robert Russell

I hope this inspired you.

IT’S NOT OVER UNTIL GOD SAYS SO

Hello wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. Hope this blog meets you in great spirits. Today is a beautiful day and I am grateful for the opportunity to share this post with you.

I just want to encourage those among you going through a hard time right now. God will never leave you. God is for you. God has already made a way out. God is the way out. Are you struggling right now? Do you feel depressed, broken, betrayed, disappointed and discouraged? Well, I got news for you. Good is for you! You have the power to choose how your story ends. Here’s something else you should know, your story ends in victory. You just have to accept it and begin to declare it in the name of The Lord. 

I know it can be difficult to stay hopeful and focused when it seems like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your head and shoulders but I promise you, drop that load and you will see the salvation of God.

Here’s how you drop the load. You MEDITATE. Start meditating on the goodness of God NOW! Start seeing the blessings manifest in your mind. Refuse to dwell in the place of suffering in your mind. Choose the place of abundance. God is always for you! 

I pray that the eyes of your understanding be opened and you see the salvation of God Now! 

Don’t let anyone steal your joy!

WORDS HAVE POWER

Good morning, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely friends. I hope this meets you well. Today is a beautiful day and I am so thankful to be a part of it. How are you and your family today? I hope all is well and beautiful with you all.

So today, I wanted to share a powerful affirmation with you. You see, words are powerful and put us in a vibration equivalent to their nature. So, before you speak, always be mindful of the type of things you say. For instance, instead speaking negative words, choose positive words. Let your words paint the picture of the type of world you want to live in and you’ll surely see it manifest. 

So, for this post, here’s a powerful affirmation that I came across and wanted to share with you.

“The impossible does happen. Therefore, my seemingly impossible good now comes to pass.”

I hope that these words speak to you today. As you go about your day, say this affirmation and watch the good that happens. 

Thank you for reading. Stay blessed, energized and inspired.

Don’t let anyone steal your joy!

QUALITIES I ADMIRE IN MY MAN

 

What’s up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people? Hope this blog meets you in great spirit. Today is a beautiful day and I’m grateful to be a part of it. Gratitude is the fastest way to get out of depression and the spirit of heaviness. If you can find things to be grateful for in a season of uncertainty, you will get your joy back and your life will be sweeter. 

God has been to good to me in every way. I AM ALIVE!!!!

My dream man. What qualities am I looking for? Well, I did a video yesterday talking about the qualities. My dream man is a good, confident, loving, kind-hearted, loves family and wants family. A man of strength, confidence and purpose. I real supporter, someone who is into me and loves me for all that I am. A man who is physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally strong and connected to me. A man of God. A strong, sexy, affectionate, athletic and generous man. 

A man whose love for family is not determined by what someone says or not say, does or not do. A man of grit, focus and confidence. A man who has a good sexual appetite and can handle this African Leopard 🐆 Rawrrr! lol 😂 

I want a BALLER! 

I know we will find each other and maybe he’s already here. I’m just excited to meet my Baller!

I am affectionate, loving, generous and compassionate. My kids mean the world to me and they have to mean the world to my BALLER! 

There’s yet to be anything I desire that God hasn’t fulfilled. I am glad that my heart and mind are open to receive. I am receptive and Divinely guided. It’s going to happen in Divine order and timing and I’m ready for him.

The thought of meeting my ideal is amazing. He is in the NFL in my head and he is a real man and a keeper who will do anything to capture my heart. I know I’m a keeper 😉.
