The truth of the matter is…we can be our own worst critic.  This outlook can hamper the growth that we have made thus far.  You have to acknowledge the daily steps you’ve made that count as well.  While it’s harder to see the smaller steps, take a look back to a period that wasn’t so far back; harder and darker in nature.  Then you will see that every small step wasn’t in vain.  Look for the good because that’s all that really matters.  Good thoughts create more good thoughts, setting the pace for momentum.  What you are creating is a sweet spot that embodies bliss.  Bliss to happiness.  Bliss in moments of stillness.  Bliss, knowing that everything is working out for your greater good.  Bliss in the fact that people and things come and go, but the solid stays put.  I recently found an IG post that resonated with my life.  May you find it useful and comforting.  Take little nuggets that you can apply to your daily life.  Always find ways to get into a state of bliss.  Everybody loves the sunshine!
 
“Life gets very quiet before all the doors open.  I’m learning that what can feel like loneliness is actually grace.  Rest.  Find your strength.  It will all change soon.”

A lot has changed instantly.  So much so….you could miss it if you blink!  Change is in the air; a new season quickly approaching.  If you’re wise, you’ll take heed, get still and listen for instruction.  There comes a point when you stop staying in familiar territory just because change is scary.  The voice inside that is begging to be heard will no longer stay silent.  An awakening is happening.  Old thought patterns and habits will no longer work for you.  A newness of the mind, body and soul is required.  Clutter must be dealt with.  Isolation is often the best place to address this.  No one can help you because the answer is already within self.  You know what it is that you must do.  You can tap dance all around the truth, but the Most High will still make you own yourself.  You can delay the process by not being obedient, but things do have a way of coming full circle.  When the Most High is ready to bring about change, you must answer the call.  If it requires you to leave friends, associates, family and the like, so be it!  Your life was purposed for greater good, free of mediocrity and full of potential.  This time around requires more. More commitment.  More focus. More of you.  Less of them.  Don’t let this season pass you by and rob you of an opportunity to level up.  Remember, the sovereign one will see you through.

When you want something to last, you speak life into it. Not only that, you allow the process to manifest in its own time. This includes slow cooking at a set temperature, wisely stepping away while allowing the seasoning an opportunity to penetrate. Most importantly, you have to understand that there is a spiritual and supernatural backing that is allowing everything to come together at the proper divine time. There is nothing you can do to speed up the process or make things happen quicker in your favor. Refocus your attention on the things that you can control. This includes your emotional stability, breaking habits that no longer serve you and being patient in this process. Greatness requires a knowing. A knowing that the seeds you have planted will manifest. A knowing that everything will work out in your favor at the set and appropriate time. A knowing that you cannot lose because you are built to win. A knowing that you are anointed. When the time is right...oh, how you will shine bright like a diamond!
