Have you ever finally found a moment of joy, and quickly got scared that someone or something was going to ruin it? Have you ever found a moment of peace, but deep down waiting for the other shoe to drop and everything to fall apart? Girl, we have. This is called self sabotage. When we count ourselves out of experiencing real joy and real happiness, because we’re waiting on something bad to happen. We're waiting on something to hit the fan, instead of feeling safe in our joy and just allowing ourselves to be happy. You deserve to be happy sis. Big happy...not broke happy.

There is no version of you that will make everyone happy sis. So collectively, let's all stop trying. The only thing that you can do, is be yourself. What makes you, YOU, is what makes you special.

Not who your aunties, uncles, followers, viewers, or spectators think you should be. Thanks To Today’s Sponsors! Today’s episode is sponsored by EarnIn! Make everyday payday, with Earnin!

Even though the situation may not be ideal, sometimes you have to do what you have to do sis. Things happen, and sometimes we can't control it. But we can control how we respond.

You can't go back and change how things have happened in your life, but you can change how you respond to them. Stop stressing sis...start moving. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

Your job is your purpose sis. Your assignment, is your responsibility. The people in our lives all serve a purpose, but it's up to us to determine what purpose that is. The more you grow and evolve, the bigger that purpose becomes, and you can't carry purpose and everybody else too. Let the actions of others determine where they sit in the show that is your life. We're talking friends, family members, coworkers - anybody can get it sis! People are going to do what they want to do, but you have to keep doing what you were meant to do. No harm....no foul.

Buying pens, new planners, and new notebooks to get organized will do nothing if you don't sit down and actually do the work you plan to do in them. Most of the time sis, it’s the things that we put off, the things that we feel the most resistance to…those are the things that end up changing our lives. Sometimes you just don't feel like it, and we get it. But if you wait to feel good, and you wait to feel motivated enough to finish...it will never get done. Thanks To Today’s Sponsors!

How would future you feel about the decisions you make each day? How would she respond to the issues happening in your life right now? Sometimes when we need answers, we look externally. We ask our family members and friends for advice. We need someone to motivate and inspire us. But the reality is, if we just took a minute to get quiet, and shut out the outside noise...we have the answers that we need. That if we could only take the time to imagine what a future version of ourselves would do, in a situation that we are currently in...in most cases we already have our answers. Younger you, will always serve as a reminder of how far you've come. But future you, the girl you will one day become...will always serve as the blueprint.

Stop putting limits on yourself sis. Stop putting limits on your abilities, on your ideas, limiting your creativity, and putting a cap on what you think you can do. Better yet, stop putting a cap on what you think God can do. There is no limit, on the dreams that you have sis. Just because someone else's life looks big and grand, that doesn't mean you can't have big and grand too. Don't let negative thoughts and negative beliefs trick you out of the dreams, visions, and goals God has placed on the inside of you. They are yours. Always has been, always will be.

When you don't know the answers to everything in your life, anything is possible in your life. When you feel lost and not sure about your next move, it can be frustrating. But it's okay to feel a little lost sometimes boo. Sometimes we know exactly what we want but we have no clue how or when we're going to get there. One thing is for sure, a season of uncertainty will always bring forth a season of clarity. Just keep praying, waiting, and working....until you get there. Thanks To Today’s Sponsors!

You may not be at the exact place you want to be in life right now, but you certainly aren't where you started. Sometimes we get so focused on the future that we forget to appreciate our past. It took a lot for you to get yourself to this moment in your life sis, and for that you should feel really proud. Remember where you came from sis, and do not ever forget where you started.

You can either pay now for what you want sis, or end up paying for it in the future. The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of a current situation. We all want our lives to look a certain way, but aren't always willing to be disciplined enough to get it. We want to reach new levels within our business, our careers, our families, and even our personal lives but we don't like the discomfort of getting there. It's not the first time you will be uncomfortable and it certainly won't be your last. But only you will know how much your dreams, goals, and desires...are truly worth. Feel good now sis, or live good later. Which will it be? Thanks To Today’s Sponsors! Babbel is real language learning for real conversations. Try Babbel today and get 55% off your subscription.

Stop telling everybody your business boo. Set some boundaries, and stop being vulnerable with people who do not deserve your vulnerability. You have to have discernment about who gets to experience the best parts of you. When you start sharing all of your personal business with people, you start involving them in things that they aren't even qualified to be involved in. Learn how to stand on your own two feet, without needing to hear what someone else has to say, or caring what they think, and run with what God told you to do. Thanks To Today’s Sponsors!
