#liveonpurpose

Vic shares that you have to think big!  You don't serve yourself or the world by thinking small.  Making sure you have the equipment and tools you need to be successful helps keep you from sabotaging your own success.

Jennifer shares...you have to live with yourself everyday and forgiving yourself - and others - gives you that freedom.

Amira shares that you should seek/work to find joy and always find something to be grateful for!
Prayers and strength to Amira as she completes her dissertation!

I want to share my milestone with you by saying thank you for your support.  You can go to Instagram to watch the corresponding video.  I look forward to continuing our conversations.  Let me know if you'd like to share your journey, I'd love to have you.

Keep in mind...you may not think you're interesting in the moment, but if you pull up and look at the big picture, you'll see all that you've been through and everything you've accomplished to get to where you are today and then even you would have to say...damn, I do have a story! 

Vicki shares that...we are missing our life, because we are either thinking of the past or thinking of the future.  So instead of focusing on that, let go and focus on the good of now! 

Don shares...understanding that what you choose to do, you need to be happy doing it because when the challenges occur you ought to be able to look at them as opportunities to solve and not see them as problems.

Keri shares...You never have to feel that it's too late or that you have to give up.  

Everything she's gone through has definitely taught her something.  Even though she may not have wanted to go through the experiences she had, they helped her become who she is today.

Romans 8:28 says that all things work together for the good, to those who love the Lord that's called to his purpose.

Lawanda shares...

• Don't count people out...they can change, so don't give up on them so easily
• Remain teachable...even though you may have gained or have so much, you should never stop learning
• Don't let your situation or your circumstances stop you from being great.

Greg shares...that if you want something and you have the desire to work for it, you're more likely to achieve your goals.  It may not come as fast as you need it to, but if you have that work ethic the odds are in your favor.  Just don't give up on yourself or your goals and have patience.

Kristin shares the importance of accepting where you are, who you are and how you are.  

• Knowing who you are makes you independent of the thoughts and opinions of others.
• Don't take everything personal, it's not always about you.

Elizabeth shares that failure is an opportunity to learn something new and to do it in a different way.  
For Reference:  Dance Fever was a dance competition show hosted by Deney Terrio in 1979 and  Solid Gold was a top 10 music countdown show with the solid gold dancers in 1980.  For the record, we all wanted to be Solid Gold dancers...maybe for the shoes? 

Rebecca says she struggles with over committing herself.  But she has discovered that when she is present/ in the moment, she learns and experiences so much more.  

The lessons she wants to share...It's ok to say no.  Just stop, reflect and put things into perspective.  There will be those things you'll have to learn to let go of.

Arnell shares that...legislation states that any child who is suspected of having learning difficulties shall be awarded a psychological evaluation, a health evaluation, a social evaluation and a speech-language evaluation.

Michelle is a very entertaining storyteller...she shares with us that we should talk to our children and let them know about life...be honest with them as we teach them how to survive.

FYI - Crooklyn is a 1994 movie by Spike Lee where Troy learns life lessons through her brothers...I'm pretty sure its available to stream today.

Keep in mind...not everything will have a fulfilling ending.  You won't always get the wrap up that you hope for.  So remember to enjoy the process...take satisfaction in the journey.

• Keep in mind...good or bad, things happen for a reason

Just thought I'd start by sharing a little about myself...
