I have a confession to make. I am sure some of you may already know. Here it goes. I am a hoarder. I collect quotes and memes, I LOVE when my Facebook newsfeed is overloaded with them. I either save them to my phone or share them on my page. Actually, there is a third option I can share it on my page and save it on my phone. I am not too fond of the ones that have curse words in them. No matter what the message is. If someone wants to redo those quotes without curse words I am okay with that.
A few weeks ago I found a quote that is my life motto right now.
Since starting this blog and living towards my goal of being a Motivational Speaker full time I have begun to live this motto full time. For so long I had the desire to share my story and being a speaker yet I was just sitting on the couch saying it and not doing anything to move toward this goal.
Get Off The Couch- Once I got off the couch and started doing something my perspective on life has changed. I am constantly thinking about subjects I want to talk about. I ALWAYS have a pad of paper with me to write things down. I am always thinking about things I want to do to obtain my goals.
Smile More & Be More Excited.-I feel like once I got off the couch and began to get motivated than smiling came naturally. And I would instantly get more excited thinking about the possibilities of my future.
Throw Away Clutter-This does not necessarily mean physical clutter. But emotional and mental clutter that can cause me to get stuck.
Unfollow Negative People-I DEFINITELY do this. If I post something on Facebook and someone leaves a negative comment I just delete the comment. I don’t need that weighing me down. So I might not officially unfollow them after one negative comment. But I unfollow the comment. I don’t need that. If they continue to put negative garbage out there than I will definitely unfollow and unfriend them.
Go To Bed Early. Wake Up Early.-Now I don’t have this perfect combo. I am so excited to complete a blog I either stay up late, wake up early or do both. So I really need to practice this one better.
Don’t Gossip-I try so hard to practice this one. It can be so easy to be like TMZ but I realize that takes so much energy to be in other peoples business. I can barely handle my own business. So when I hear gossip I do my best to walk away and not listen to it. And definitely not pass it along.
Show More Gratitude-As a society I think it is easier to grumble and complain instead of finding the rainbow on a cloudy day. I feel like this is an area I need to work on. Not only finding gratitude in the day but also expressing it to people that I cross paths with.
Do Things That Challenge You-I feel like I am living this in my life right now. I have never challenged myself as much as I am right now. We can get stuck in the comfort zone and be sitting on the couch. We need to do something every day that will challenge us.
Be Brave-Those 2 words speak volume. To Be Brave gives my life purpose. Instead of getting stuck in the rut of life I have to challenge myself to Be Brave.
I truly believe that 2018 is going to be my year of growth. I am really excited to see the plan that GOD has for me. I am ready for it. Be Brave
Take Care. Much Love
