morning thoughts

---

Sometimes happiness looks like staying home, minding your business, telling people NO, and doing you.

If you kick me while I'm down, you better pray I don't get up.

Your first mistake was thinking that I'm one of your sheep.

You can simultaneously be a masterpiece and a work in progress.

One day your signature will be your autograph and your haters will ask if you're hiring.

Stop hanging around people who don't want to win; who don't have dreams, those who don't have goals. Don't hang around those who don't want to change, who don't want to grow.

Nobody is ever too busy, you're either a priority or you're not.

Be somebody you thought you couldn't be. Change your mindset, change your life. Stop complaining and start doing something to change your life.

Become a better version of yourself every day. You will have to level up every day to be a better you, a new you. This is you changing, expanding, breaking out of your comfort zones and growing.

I need to stop this habit of doubting myself when I know damn well that I am a fuckin badass. I tackle any and every obstacle that life throws my way with strength and integrity and I deserve to give myself an abundance of credit.

If I change, it's for myself.

There's no room in my life for unsupportive friends & family.

I will never be impressed by your money, car, job, title, looks, or social status. I'm impressed by the way you treat me and treat other people.

Biggest comeback? Making myself happy again!

Delete photos, delete apps, rearrange some furniture, give some clothes away, delete numbers, make your phone display neater, organize tour seasonings, organize your clothes so you can think clearer.

Be the reason someone feels welcome, seen, heard, valued, loved and supported.

I will glow up. Educate myself further. Dress well. Make money. Work hard.

A simple Formula for living that I have learned....
Live beneath your means. Return everything you borrow. Stop blaming other people. Admit it when you make a mistake. Give clothes not worn to charities. Do something nice and try not to get caught. Listen more; talk less. Every day take a 30 minute walk. Strive for excellence, not perfection. Be on time. Don't make excuses. Don't argue. Get organized. Be kind to unkind people. Let someone cut ahead of you in line. Take time to be alone. Cultivate good manners. Be humble. Realize and accept that life isn't fair. Know when to keep your mouth shut. Go an entire day without criticizing anyone. Learn from the past. Plan for the future. Live in the present, not in the past. Don't sweat the small stuff. It's all small stuff.

No response is a response. And that's a powerful one. Remember that.

Deal with Business, not with Drama

Don't tell anyone what you're doing until it's done. Outside energy can throw off goals

If they miss you, they'll call. If they want you, they'll say it. If they care, they'll show it. And if not, they aren't worth your time

Choose your lady wisely, she represents you

Remember who checked on you when you were low

You become a more positive, peaceful and a harmonic person when you don't react to people that use you as a mirror for their own self hate

Fools have no desire to learn,
instead they would rather give their own opinion - Proverbs 18:2

I just wanna be around good energy. Connect with good people. Learn new things. Grow

Stay away from everything that keeps you away from your dreams

I'm honestly not mad at anyone for anything they ever did to me. You showed me you and I need that.

Self-care is also addressing your own problematic thoughts & behaviors; removing toxic people/situations from your life; holding yourself accountable for what you do & say (and apologizing authentically); doing your own self-work to be emotionally literate.

Detox your mind, body, and contact list.

Wake up early. Drink Coffee. Work hard. Be ambitious. Keep your priorities straight, your mind right and your head up. Do well, live well and dress really well. Do what you love, love what you do. It is time to start living.

If I'm on your ass about doing better it's because I see more in you then you do in yourself... Not too many people will do that. Most will sit there and watch you throw your life away.

Those who take responsibility for their life and are wanting to move on and put the past behind them are much more likely to gain freedom, success and happiness. Let go, move forward. The best revenge is not taking any revenge. It is simply moving on with your life, creating the best version of yourself.

Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could be any different. I think for myself and I know many of you, you think forgiving means accepting what has happened to you. Well, it is accepting that it has happened to you, not accepting that it was okay for it to happen. It is accepting that it has happened and now what do I do about it? Forgiving is giving up the hope; not holding on, hoping, wishing that it could be any other way than it actually was. Giving up the hope that the past could be any different. It's letting go so that the past does not hold you prisoner, does not hold you hostage.

Don't cheat on your future with your past, it's over. If you don't let go of your past, your future will suffer. Understand this very important fact, you are the one who suffers the most when you hold onto resentment, when you seek revenge. You are the one who wins when you do let go. Leave the darkness of your past behind so you can focus on letting in the light of your future.

Let it go! The things that have happened in the past; the things that aren't happening right now, let it go. If you want to be free stop locking yourself into the prison of your past. If you want to see the light, stop holding yourself in the darkness of your past. If you don't want them to win, let it go. Move on and create your best life. Don't allow it to live in your mind, stealing the joy from the rest of your day. Someone did you wrong? LET IT GO!. They will ruin more of your life if you allow them to invade your mind like a virus...which will only affect the quality of your life in every other area. The best revenge is always moving on. LETTING GO!

Quit trying to please everyone. Quit fearing change. Quit living in the past. Quit putting yourself down. Quit overthinking.

Imagine a giant monster following you around and picking you up and kissing you all the time. That's what my cats live with every day.
