What are you doing in your corner of the world?

I asked myself this often.

What are you doing in your corner of the world?

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Just stopped by to encourage you to continue being and doing your why. Don’t let out where circumstances keep you from doing what you know. From doing what you know. From doing your why.

The leak was filled with nothing but nos. So much so, I wanted to talk myself into giving up. At least for awhile. Then I dusted off the nos and began digging for the yes. They are out there somewhere.

Be encouraged. You are exactly where you’re supposed to be. Enjoy the rest of your day. Take care of yourself.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Life isn’t fair.

So what?

I can still live.

Love doesn’t always feel lovely.

So what?

I can still love.

Opportunity doesn’t seem to find me.

I can still try.

I shall.

I will.

I can.

I do.

Trust.

In EVERY situation.

Believe.

In EVERY circumstance.

Try.

In EVERY position.

Laugh.

Through EVERY obstacle.

Love.

Through EVERY hardship.

Sing.

Through EVERY drop of rain.

Dance.

Through EVERY storm.

Keep moving FORWARD, beloveds. Keep looking UP.

I have had to learn, in real time, how to LIVE, how to LOVE, how to LAUGH, how to REJOICE, how to REACH OUT, through so much hard that hard ain’t nothing but a word for me now.

Life is meant to be lived. Don’t wait til things get better. You can make things better!

Make better choices. Make better friends…lol. Make better decisions. Make the effort.

Change what you don’t like. Keep pressing towards your dreams.

I just stopped by to encourage someone who has no idea if he/she/they will make it through.

You CAN. You WILL.  You HAVE to.

Keep going.

Yesterday was tough.

Unexpected happenings kept happening!😳

I tried to call for support. No one was available. 🧱😡

I tried to listen to uplifting music. Frustrating told me to turn off all that noise.

Sad, mad, hopeless, angry and discouragement ALL decided to have a confab.

I told them all to confab outside!

I got up. I tried again. Nerves and all.

I went to bed. Nervous. I woke up. Nervous.

I got back after. I received yet another rejection email. I was dismayed. I applied for several jobs that required NASA knowledge.

I MADE myself put on my big girl panties and keep my morning commitment.

I have no idea what today will bring. I just know I will be bringing the proper perspective with me.

I just stopped by to encourage someone. Starting with me.

Be encouraged. Keep your humor. Keep your wits about you. Keep the proper perspective.

Yesterday was NOT fun. Whew. That said, today is a new day. A new opportunity.

I’m learning not to judge my todays by my yesterdays!😁😎

Have an amazing today.  I plan to.

Keep the worry out of your circumstances.

Nuff said.
Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: I just had a potentially worrisome situation happen. There’s nothing I can do about it now. I refuse to worry. I did the best I could in this situation. Now I just have to wait to see what the outcome will be.

Don’t add worry on top of the situation. Do the best you can. The rest will come out in the wash. Be encouraged.

Keep feeding yourself positive things.

My dad used to say garbage in, garbage out. Meaning what we put into our spirit will come out of us.

I’m careful about what I watch, what I read, and what I listen to. I have been doing my best to keep out all this negative. Click baiting garbage that is going around the social media streets.

Television, right now, is full of nothing but that which reaches out to our most basic instincts and the lowest common denominator. I choose not to watch that or go down that route.

I choose to watch, listen to and read things that feed my spirit. I choose to put out content that edifies and encourages others. Starting with myself.

I also make times daily to turn off my phone. And leave social media alone. Social media can be poisoned. Be sure to give yourself some free time away from your phone, Youtube, tiktok and Instagram.

Make sure you are having actual conversation with those that you love. Call a friend, have a nice conversation. Write an email. Conversation seems to be a lost art. Bring it back.

I’m doing my utmost to feed myself positive things. How about you?

Don’t do it because you’re afraid.

Do it because you are afraid what will happen if you don’t.

Don’t do it because you are afraid you may fail.

Do it because you may win.

Don’t do it because you’re afraid it won’t work out.

Do it because you are afraid what will happen if you don’t reach out.

You’ll never know unless you try. You will have no earthly idea what you could have accomplished if you had just taken the chance and reached out for greatness.

Don’t let fear run your life and your choices. Tell fear to shut up. Don’t be afraid to go alone. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. You’ll make many of them. You’ll spend a lot of your time alone. Do it anyway. Go anyway.

I’m no longer afraid to fail because of my age. I’m no longer afraid to feel because I lack in knowledge. I’m no longer afraid to fail. Failure comes with the process. Failure does not make me a failure. Failure just means I have to make another try. failure simply means I have to keep on keeping on until I win.

Failure is not the end of the story. Failure is not a barometer of things to come. Failure is just that. An attempt that did not work out the way we hoped it would.

Be encouraged. Keep being the needle in the haystack. Your moments will find you!

Add, just a little bit, of love, to your circumstances.

Add, just a little bit, of joy, to your situation.

Add, just a little bit, of hope, to your relationship.

Add, just a little bit, of laughter, to the hopeless endeavour.

Add, just a little bit, of light to your dark places/spaces.

Yeppers, beloveds, adding just a little bit, can change lots of stuff.😁🤗🧱

Try it out and lemme know how things turned out.

If you got up even though you were tired.

You have already won.

If you step in a ring even though you thought you might lose.

You have already won.

If you have decided to try even though the deck has been stacked against you.

You have already won.

If you have chosen love over our hate.

You have already won.

If you have chosen action over apathy.

You have already won.

If you have moved forward instead of looking back in the past.

You have already won.

If you have decided to stay in the fight even though you were behind.

You have already won.

If you have decided to go on, even though you have been left all alone.

You have already won.

If you have decided to love others even though you have been treated harshly.

You have already won.

If you have decided to shine your light, even though everyone else has chosen the darkness.

You have already won.

If you have stayed in a race, even though you have been more tired, you have ever been.

You have already won.

If you have completed the race, lost and have been laughed at, but you still rejoice.

You have already won.

If you have taken your meager beginnings, using for a glorious end.

You have already won.

If you have chosen to remain joyful and hopeful even though everything looks dark and dire.

You have already won.

If you have raised your hands, in victory, even before the race has finished.

You have already won.

It’s not about the outcome. It’s not about the trophy. It’s all about your fight. It’s all about your try. Fight. Try. Enjoy your life. The rest will come out in the wash!
