Stop trying to drive the car while you are building it.

I’m trying to be perfect, beloveds.

Worse, I’m trying to be perfect at things I have yet to learn. Silly, shortsighted me.

I feel as though I am trying to drive a car I am in the process of building.

Impossible. I know this. Still, I image my time is running out. I have to stop myself from hurrying.

Growth takes time. Learning takes time. Excellence takes time.

I may not make it. But, I refuse to rush the journey. I want to enjoy all the steps. Especially, the hardest ones!

I have really enjoyed getting up early, staying up late. My age grumbles a bit, though.😳🤨

I have parked the car. I am going to build it first…lol.

Be encouraged. Enjoy the journey. Even when the car breaks down and you have to wait on AAA.🤗🤣🎤

Filling the other half:We’re Going All The Way

We’re going all the way, beloveds!

We are:

Headed towards fulfilled dreams.

Conquering that which has been defeating us.

Making our way through the hard with joy.

Reaching out for the love that has been waiting for us to BELIEVE for and in.

Ah, beloveds, strap in!

We are heading to amazing destinations!

Let’s go!!

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!😳🎯🤣

Prove yourself right.

There is a voice deep inside that is calling you.

This voice says you can.

This voice tells you that ALL you have to DO is to TRY.

There is something coming from deep within you that is begging you to get out there and win.

There is SOMETHING from within challenging you to seize your moment.

Prove yourself right, beloveds!

Note: Prove it to yourself. Don’t worry about proving things to someone else. People are going to think what they think. Let them. These dreams are yours. Pursue your dreams, not someone else’s. Make things happen for you. Life is much too short to continue pursuing someone else’s dreams, in order to receive love and validation. Love and validate yourself!

This is your time. What are you doing with it?

One step.

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?!

asking for A Friend,
Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

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,

524 days: Leave the world 🌎 better off for your having lived.

524 days! Consecutive! Come hell or high water!

524 days of putting my all on these pages.

524 days of trying to leave the 🌎 better off than where I found it.

I plan on doing 5,000 more. Until I am no more.

I have no time to be fretting about all the darkness about. I’m too busy shining my light. I’m much too busy being a light. For someone.

Leave the 🌎 world better off for you having lived, beloveds.
