I live a life where lessons should be drawn from any and every situation encountered. Mind is over matter, so we all must continue to feed our wisdom with fruits of thought to lead a righteous path. The cardinal lesson is to let go and be free.
______________________________
Come into my life. Let’s learn together.
It has certainly been a long while since I have actually ‘journaled’. I became preoccupied with other activities, lost track of time, and before I knew it, lost track of my own soul from the lack of consistent personal reflection. A mentor of mine has recently helped me realize that one of the most crucial tasks in life is to find one’s true self. Resources may be pulled by reflectively meditating, conversing, and/or writing to complete such a simple yet difficult job. Although I may already have a sense of my self, there are still lots of soul searching to do before I have a full understanding of who and where I am in life.
So, let’s continue this journey together once again…

Lesson:
The most enlightening discovery in life is yourself.
Let go. Be free.

I messaged my mom a happy b-day this morning, and this is what she replied: “Thank you! Just so lucky to have the 3 of you, all of you are not only my kids but most of all my best friends as well. Love from your BFF, mommy.”
She’s great. Happy birthday, Mother Dear! Love you.
So you always find yourself spitting out “Of course!” or “I’ll be glad to!” and nod your head when sometimes you wished you shook it hard while blurting the two-letter one-syllable alternative. Certainly, your ego firmly believes you are superman - that you can do it all, please everyone, and accomplish everything.
Yet more often than not, you fail in becoming the conquistador you sought to be. You are considered short of perfect scores, late to priorities, a flake to many people, and even a no-show on bad days. You have a strong tendency to overbook yourself throughout each week. Your to-do lists are never completed. And at the end of each day, you are stressed, fatigued, and believe it or not miserable. What you may have not considered is that hesitating to say NO can lead to unnecessary prices.
There will come a point where your body will long to just stay still. To neglect everyone and focus only on yourself. Once you realize you said way to many yeses in life, do yourself a favor and take the progressive approach in saying NO. Because saying no to others can mean yes to yourself.

Lesson:
Do not be afraid to say NO when needed for it can be one of the most wonderful gifts you can give to yourself.
Let go. Be free.

To reach your desired destiny, it is imperative that you exploit your full potential. Any successful person will agree that despite life challenges you must raise above your circumstances to achieve success. High-achievers are the people who position themselves high above the common crowd.
Look deep within your inner man and you will harvest some great inspiration. Do not be mediocre since it brings about a form of bondage. Refuse to be content with where you are at present or what you have achieved so far. Rather, strive to constantly go beyond the normal thus reach your full potential. Reaching your goal does not mean that you can now relax.
Always seek to challenge your capabilities and you will overcome the spirit of settling for average. You too have the ability of reaching your full potential and becoming the best in your niche. The achievement of one stage is the commencement of another thus past success must not hinder future success.
In another way, success is merely a matter of how you are going to use your past to inspire and propel yourself to reach your full potential, both now and in the future. For those who have tasted victory in the past they must feel even more confident and challenged to achieve more and climb to a higher status.
In case your past is a record of failures, break that yoke and believe that you are a champion of tomorrow. It is only by having a burning desire to taste victory that will help you become a winner. Therefore, be focused, committed and disciplined towards attaining your full potential. Never worry about yesterday, in fact, you should use your past experiences to build on a better tomorrow.
