Hard times.
Use it for your good.
Painful situations.
Use it for your good.
Heartache.
Use it for your good.
Heartbreak.
Use it for your good.
Challenging times.
Use it for your good.
Use all things for your good. I’m learning how to do this. I cannot believe how many years I spent whining and complaining about things. I thought I was being mindful and prayerful. I was just being fearful.
I’m learning how to learn and lean into the hard. I’m learning how not to place a blame on others, even myself. Life is just lifng. Simple as that.
I have learned to turn my hard times into an adventure. I’m looking forward to all of the things this hard is bringing out in me. Life is short.
I had a nice long talk with my big brother. We enjoyed one another. I enjoy yakking with family and friends via text messages. I am squeezing every drop of the love out of my day. I pray that you are doing the same.
I’m fixing to go make some more boring motivational videos.
It has been so nice. Looking forward to things instead of dreading what may happen. Enough of that foolishness. Life is so worth living. Get out there and live.

I have a job interview.
Finally.
FINALLY!
At first, I was excited. I still am. Still, I found that hesitation, mixed in with a smidge of fear, had crept into my excitement.
I followed the source and found I had allowed a wee bit of negative thinking to invade my aspirations.
I almost wanted yo hideaway in sleeping. I told myself hecks to the naw!
I determined to use my anxious for my good. I got up. I fired up the laptop. I researched the company. I did some mock interviews with myself.
I fed myself positive, uplifting self talk, wonderful music and some quiet time.
I just stopped by to encourage someone. Starting with me!
Be encouraged. Stand ten toes down on FAITH!
Should you find negative thinking trying to invade your aspirations, replace them with positive self talk. Imagine yourself where you want to be.
Then, set out getting there.
Ideas for my channels, for my life, keep evolving. I am evolving with EVERY try, with EVERY no, with EVERY time I fight and overcome my anxious.
Have an amazing today. Say a nice word for my interview on Monday.😎🤗💃🏽❤🧱

I get up early this morning to start my workday.
I’m preparing for the day when I begin a new position. I had my coffee. Did a bit of study. Conversated with family.
The only thing I don’t know now is what the name of my job is. I am thankful. I am grateful. I am hopeful. I have been telling myself positive self talk the last few hours.
I just stopped by so I can encourage someone this morning. Be encouraged. Chart a new path. We all have to start again sometime. That’s OK.
Begin a new routine where you take care of yourself, first, so that you can be there for the people in your life. You don’t always have to finish last.

I have been looking for all the lessons in this hard. I might as well put this hard to good use!
I cannot believe what a big baby I used to be when it came to pursuing my dreams. I’ve grown up for everyone but me.
Hard slapped me in the face and made me grow up real quick. Hard made me stand on business.
Hard forced me to choose between my dreams and apathy. I’m glad I chose my dreams.
Keep choosing yourself. Keep choosing your dreams.
Keep pushing your way through the boring. Keep muddling through the mundane. Keep on keeping on. Life was not meant to be entertaining 24 hours of the day. Life was meant to slap you around as needed. Rinse and repeat…lol
Remember, you are building your legacy. What kind of legacy do you want to leave behind? As for me, I am living behind a legacy of love, laughter and joy.
Have an amazing day and thanks so much for stopping by. I love you and care about your life.

God: No, Cassandra.
Me:…*pout*. I haven’t said anything, tho.
God: I heard your argument all the way over here.
Me: No fair. No fair! No…
God: See? Always a comment. Get back to work looking for work, Cassandra. You do NOT have permission to quit.
Me: But…
God: Cassandra, your buts have done nothing but get your hind end kicked! Get back in the fight.
Me: Geeeeez, tho. K
*Cassandra gets back in the fight*….*Cassandra pouts where God can’t see*…lol.
I just stopped by to tell you that you do not have permission to quit. Rest if you must. Fuss if you need to. Then get back into the fight. There is nothing wrong with a good 10 minute pity party every now and again. Wasting any more time is simply a waste of time!
Spend your time pursuing your dreams until they fall to your feet in exhaustion.

Don’t be in a hurry. Your time will come.
I just had to let a scam recruiter know where to take two seats. It’s a shame that people will take advantage of those in need.
I’m glad that I am old enough to know how the world works. Sadly, there are so many people who fall for scams like this. The recruiter told me that I was pre approved for the job. I knew immediately it was a scam. I said thanks, but no thanks.
Don’t let your situation make you desperate. Be certain to assess and evaluate what you need. Things will work out. We just have to make sure that you plan and do your research.
I researched the company to find that there have been some people who have tried to use a legitimate company to scam people.
I think I will take the rest of the day off. I’m ready to take a break. I’m running to take a breath. I’m ready to take my time. I’m not getting in a hurry. Neither should you.

Fear: Quit.
Me: No.
Doubt: Quit, dummy!
Me: NO!
God: Is there any quit in you?
Me: Lemme see…
*Cassandra rummages through her quit bag and finds nothing but laughter, more laughter, a few guffaws, and a Snickers bar*
The Universe: Whatcha gonna do now, Cassandra?
Me: hhmmmmmm. I know!
*Cassandra remembers that she STILL has some F’s to give*….
*Cassandra sprinkles some faith, joy, hope and piece everywhere and wanders off to eat her Snickers bar*…
*whispering*…be encouraged, beloveds. Don’t let your circumstances keep you down. Don’t let the lack of progress keep you from making progress…lol.
Rest. Regroup. Reassess. Rinse. Repeat.

Note: These last few days have been tough as far as job hunting goes. Nothing but rejection emails. My heart just couldn’t take another no.
I gave myself permission to take a mental health day. I needed it. I slept. I slept some more.
I’m ready to get back in the game. Yea, I’m awfully tired of this particular game. Still, it shall end. At some point.
Hang in there peeps. We got this.
