The external forces will try to hold you back, but you keep fighting to reach purpose. The more you focus forward the more the resistors will come out to make you feel your best isn’t enough. You use all your power and inner strength to speak truth. Speak against the opposition that rises. Break loose from the negative force that tries to control you. You don’t stop going. You don’t stop believing. You don’t stop at all until you’re done and complete with your work. It’s going to be a lot internally trying to tell you to give into the negative energy, it’s like a vacuum sucking life out of you. Don’t stop giving your all even when you feel like nothings left inside you.

When you can still stand after all the hits in life, you still have some hope within. After challenges have kicked you around and you know deep inside you still want to push, that’s hope still alive. Believing against all odds, you have some hope still there. Don’t give up. Even if your hope is small, it still counts and can bring you up and out. Don’t lose hope.
Have you ever experience weather strong enough to uproot trees (hurricane, tornadoes, typhoons…etc)?
Being in a place to see the after effects from a bad hit storm is something to see and even difficult to imagine experiencing. As I gather pictures of such land after one of its worse hits in years, I pray and provide support.
In the meantime, I had a message from what I am seeing. Being that every tree didn’t get uprooted, I gathered this: the foundation is important for stability, durability, and longevity. My heart begin to pray Lord, please help me to keep a foundation unshakable. Lord help me to be grounded where no matter the storm of life my foundation is unshakable and my faithfulness is unconditional. Whether it’s a relationship with others you’re building or on a journey in your life where a storm has hit, make sure you’re building a foundation that cannot be moved through the weather. Make sure your spiritual, emotional, and mental fitness is in good health. Build on what will hold you steady. Don’t give up, even if a storm in your life blows, you just recover and rebuild.
When I’m reading a book or some good text, I use the highlighter to remember key points I can reflect on. Using the same technique in life, there are moments in our now we forget to highlight. The progress and growth you are experiencing and making in your now is worth highlighting, writing down, remembering. These are moments to resonate to and remember to appreciate. Why do we only magnify our failures, setbacks, moments we had to press reset on our path, or even those moments we tend to see no good? Why not truly assess your moment and identify the best parts you overlook?
Today I had a conversation with a coworker which brought this reminder to celebrate and appreciate what is. Often times we spend much time on what is not or what could be instead of focusing on what is. This has been the most I have smiled. Today I identified my smile has been present more than tears. This is now. This is worth celebrating and appreciating. Growth has been apparent in my communication. My approaches and strategies I implement in bettering my communication skills within myself, for myself, and within my relationships with others is now easier because it’s becoming apart of my new norm. This too is worth highlighting and being grateful in this moment.
As you develop and build in this area of mentality, I believe you will find it helpful and easier to overcome those challenges of seeing always the wrongs by now seeing what is going well. What will you highlight in your daily walk?
You have a glow that is hard to miss. The inner being is illuminating from the inside out. Some may have to wear sunglasses because your joy is like the sun on earth. You can tell your peace is real inwardly. There’s a real radiant inner glow. This smile this time around speaks beyond the surface. The addition to your happy space is astounding. Keep smiling. Keep glowing. Keep growing. Keep falling in love with self and share the overflow.
