Filling from a Full Cup

What Are Limiting Beliefs? Limiting beliefs are thoughts, opinions that one believes to be the absolute truth. They tend to have a negative impact on one's life by stopping them from moving forward and growing on a personal and professional level. Limiting Beliefs are developed early on in life and can stop you from living your best life and hold you back in life. Here are 5 steps to release Limiting Beliefs

I was born in Nashville Tn. but after my mom and dads divorce at the age of 12 my mom, my sister, and myself packed up and moved back to my moms birthplace and hometown of Roanoke Virginia. This is where I spent most of my life and I consider this home as well. Roanoke which is also known as the Star City because it has a huge bright star that shines over the city but should also be called that because of the enormous talent that comes from it.  There are so many people from the city that are in the limelight such as professional basketball players, professional football players, up and coming football and basketball stars, Grammy award winning producers, musicians, artists, cooks and so many others. This episode is to acknowledge and showcase those in and from the city that do exactly what I advocate which is THINK BIG  & DREAM BIG going after theirs dreams. This is for you.

 A story time episode of what happened when i actually picked up the phone late night watching BET and ordered some Miracle Spring Water. Did I receive my miracle or nah? You will be surprised : ) 

Michael Jackson said it best I'm starting with the man in the mirror. It's time to make that change.  We often take this as just merely taking a glance at our outward appearance or the face we show the world but it goes deeper way deeper than I could have ever imagined. What happens when you actually look past what you always saw externally and look within. Will you like what you see? Here is my experience

A story time episode about me being fired from my job years ago which lead me on a path to the point of exactly where I needed and wanted to be. 

According to many scientists and philosophers, we are all part of one mind, meaning that we are all connected to a field of energy that vibrates into the Universe at different speeds. This one mind, or consciousness, is what makes us connect  with each other so our decisions and thoughts vibrate and impact others.
We’re all are  connected via the energy that flows through us and everything. We are energy.  Because we’re all connected, it is also natural to have respect for every part of the world that we’re living in. It especially means having respect for the environment. 
Everybody is on a different path. There are wonderful people on earth. And there are people who have the path of the perpetrator in this life time.

So I don’t mean you have to  love every person.

But you can respect them for who they are. For the part they play in this life.
 So, if you see a stranger today, maybe smile or share a kind word if that is reciprocated. We are all in this together. We are Connected.

Along my journey of personal growth and self improvement I write letters to myself frequently.  These letters are important. They allow me to see things clearly. I delve better insight into my emotional patterns and emotional situations. My motivations. My struggles. Anything really. They allow me to talk to my self and show myself much needed compassion and love.  They can comfort painful memories and ease worries. I can write freely without a filter. I can capture ideas that are pure to myself without worrying  Writing letters to myself is extremely therapeutic. They allow me to make new insights into myself and give me much needed perspective. They are one of my favorite tools for introspection and I hope you find the practice equally useful for yourself as well. Here is one of those letters.

I believe that being true to your authentic self is a tremendous act of fearlessness. In a world defined by the number of “Likes” you can get,  with many desiring to fit  in to the same mold as to not be seen as weird or different it can be hard for us to live our truth . But with practice, self-love, and a willingness to challenge yourself, you can achieve it and live fearless. 

Making sure that you are filling from a full cup is truly important. Society teaches us  that caring for ourselves or making ourselves a priority is selfish. Meanwhile so many go day to day broken down and burnt out. It is our responsibility to make sure we are filling our own cup & pouring from the best version of ourselves. 

You ever seen a product or service and thought to yourself I have a great idea but never too any action on it or believe that your idea is just a thought that could never be a reality? The world just may be waiting on it Never limit yourself.
