If at first you don’t succeed, your name is probably Cassandra. 😳🤣🎯

My name appears to be Noooooooo, Cassandra!

That’s ALL I have been hearing from hard as I have tried to rush through needed lessons.

I’m learning to slow down. I’m learning to cut myself some slack as I learn to slow down. I’m learning. I think…lol.

I wonder if success will ever come for me. It seems soooooooo far away.

I made myself take off part of the day to enjoy some biathlon. I need to be sure to fit some “what the hooey” time in there and do absolutely nothing but eat Golden Grahams and watch nothingness.

Life is short. Cut yourself some slack as you wait on success.

I hear cereal calling. Who is up for a bowl?

Don’t turn one disappointment into an all day sucker, sucker!😳🎯🤣

Disappointment happens. Turning dreams into reality is a daunting task. It requires a tenacity few are willing to have for themselves.

We fight to the death for others. We fold at ONE “no” when it comes to our dreams Smh. Do better, us!

I was ready to toss it all because of ONE disappointment. Geeeeeeez, Cassandra. 😳🌊😫🙏😡🎯

I told myself to suck it up and get back in the game. I did NOT have time to sulk all day.

We do NOT have time to cry about what had happened wuz. Let’s go!

I fight on. Will you?

Don’t turn one disappointment into an all day sucker, sucker!😳🎯🤣

Filling the other half: It’s time for you to listen to your inner voice.

It’s time for you to listen to your inner voice, beloveds.

I love this song. It’s so freeing. Uplifting. Self-affirming.

So often, beloveds, we fill ourselves with the most hateful hate talk about ourselves.

We berate ourselves for not having reached the terribly unfair and IMPOSSIBLE goals of perfection we can NEVER reach.

We shall never be perfect. ALL we can do is strive for excellence. In all that we do. We will not always reach excellence.

There are days where mediocre is as far as our exhaustion will take us.

That’s okay. Just give 100 percent of the percentage of you that remains in your try.

Be sure to fill yourself with positive/motivating/uplifting thoughts.

Remember:

You are worthy.

You are worth it.

You are worthwhile.

Exposed: Keep exposing your dreams to the ☀ sunlight.

I feel soooooooooooooo exposed.🫠😳

I am putting my dreams out there for the world to see, to accept, to dismiss, to ignore, to embrace. Yikes! Egads! Fresh hell!

The reaction, or lack thereof, has been underwhelming so far.

I can understand. I am one of billions. Who am I? Nobody, so far as society’s pecking order says.

Still, I have value. Now, I just have to keep putting myself out there to garner enough “value added”.

My why is not about making money. Having said that, my goal is to make money from the gift of gab/encouragement/tenacity that I have been blessed with.

Sooner or later, beloveds, sooner or later! Ah, God, when shall things spring open for me?!

Note: Keep exposing your dreams to the sunlight. Don’t worry about being critiqued. Critics are going to critics. It’s what they do. Critics are gold!

Take the lessons, scoop out the good stuff. Don’t concern yourself HOW the message was delivered. The point is someone cared enough to stop, respond and let you know THEIR thoughts of your try.

The lack of response really used to get me down. Now, I use that as fuel. I try harder. I ask what else can I do to improve myself, my delivery, my message, my this, that and other things.

I’m getting stronger. I’m developing a thicker skin. I am gaining deeper perspective and understanding. How great is that?!

Be encouraged. In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He.

My dreams just won’t compromise!

I wanted to sleep in.

I tried to compromise with my dreams. I put in “extra work” the night before to appease my dream’s hunger.

I stayed up late. Late!

Weary, but satisfied, I lay down. Surely, I had done enough to be able to sleep in. 4 am was just soooooooooooo early!😳

I fell asleep. I slept. Soundly. 😴🥰

I arose. Sans alarm clock. I looked at said clock:

4:21 am.

😳

*Cassandra, catching the hint, gets on about her incredibly early day*

Get up, beloveds. We got thangs to do!

doing thangs,

My dreams won’t let me sleep in.🎯

Dreams: Let’s go!!

Day: It’s Saturday!🤨😳

Clock: *alarmed look*…😭😴😫. It’s 8am on SATURDAY!?…*gasp*

Dreams:

Me:

Morning beloveds. Hope your day goes well.

I worked like the Dickens, yesterday, so I could sleep in, today. Apparently, someone didn’t get the memo.

Coffee is on. Who is with me to chase down some dreams for a bit today? Give five minutes to something that will propel your dreams further.

Try another way!

Damnit!

OMM MY FFFGGGGG!!

I have been trying, for hours, FOR HOURS, to transfer photos to/from One Drive so I can use them other places.

The only problem is that my phones are super old and about out of space which leaves no room for what I need to do!

*stamps foot*

This has been the story of my life for the last few years: Not enough money, not enough room to do what I need to do already!

OMGGGG!

This IS teaching me patience. Slowly, agonizingly slow, I FINALLY found an old phone that is letting me upload a bit. Whew!

This life is one big lesson. It’s up to us how we perceive, accept and utilize those lessons.

Be encouraged if you are having trouble due to lack of some kind. Keep doing what you can with the resources you DO have.

I’m learning to not waste precious time lamenting of what’s not in the cupboard.

In the meantime, I am continuing to be good to me as I go through these frustrating processes.

We got this! We WILL figure things out.

The universe is waiting on you.

What have you been waiting on?

The only one getting in your way right now is you!

Take yourself out of the equation.

Take doubt out of the equation.

Take fear out of the equation.

Add some faith to the mix.

Sprinkle in a whole lot of joy.

Mix in some perspiration, perseverance, and resilience.

Now, get out there and do it!
