While we continuously strive for perfection, not one of us are perfect. But nothing is wrong with working on yourself. We should not be critical of those who strive to live in a manner that points to positivity and upliftment. We should encourage and applaud each other's good behavior, geared toward taking them to a higher level. It's easy to be negative, but doing good creates a natural holistic balance and oneness. Surround yourself with positive thoughts and images each day. There are more than enough negative energy around...we do not need to add to it. Work on eliminating and drowning it all out. Life is too short to encourage negativity.

Have a stress free and happy Saturday!

Hitting rock bottom does not signify the end of the road for you. View it as an opportunity for you to start anew. Get some needed rest and relaxation, followed up by reviewing and revising your plan then execute. Some of us lose hope when our plans fall apart, but that is when you need to work harder. You will need encouragement and inspiration, and should therefore seek it. Remember, life does not stop just because you have hit a wall; the longer you remain there the harder it will be to get up and back on track.

Whatever it is that has you at rock bottom, is not strong enough to keep you there. So get up and get on with it...life is awaiting you, but remember it will not wait forever.

Have an exceptional Friday!

Our ability to bounce back after tremendous difficulties is immeasurable. The courage within each of us is superb, and we give ourselves little credit than we deserve. Each of us has a story which has transformed us into the person we are. Some of our stories if played back, would make us look like heroes and rightfully so. The dignity with which we have handled the crises in our lives cannot be compared to anything else.

We are able to withstand in times of great turmoil. We triumph over dire situations.

We must always remain optimistic in times of great trial, and always remember to call upon our greatest and most powerful source, He will sustain us through it all.

Remain vigilant and know that trials are but for a moment.

Have a Thursday filled with substance!

Do not over-complicate your life by trying to create something perfect which will never be. De-clutter your life, remove all the unnecessary baggage that is pulling you down. Arise and reclaim your life, refresh, renew and rejuvenate.  Determine what matters and work on that; remember you are only one person and you can only do so much. Life here on earth is not meant to be forever, it is beautiful so enjoy it while you still have it. Remove distractions and anything or anyone that is pulling you into a nose dive. You know your worth and what you are capable of; you are strong, courageous and determined.

Surround yourself with positivity each day, because there is always negativity awaiting you. Feed your mind with enlightening, inspiring, and motivating words. Stand strong!

Have an exceptional Wednesday!

The simple things in life are great but often times we decide we are not going to settle for less when we can have more. Yes, we should be motivated to achieve more, but there are times when we simply need to just let go and appreciate what is standing in front of us. A missed moment is a missed moment, once gone we will never have the opportunity to regain it. So instead of constantly running after more and more all the time, we should just sit back for a second and love the basic simplistic things in this life. We do not need to have all our hearts desire to have a successful and satisfying life. We are all blessed with so much more than we think...just take a look around you, I guarantee you will find something special.

Take the time out today to appreciate life. Have a blessed Tuesday!

Whenever you are feeling like things aren't happening for you, remember those who give their lives for us to enjoy life's simple pleasures. Yes, they made that choice, but that decision allots us freedom to live and to achieve.

We are a blessed nation in many ways, and today we salute our troops for the many sacrifices they make on a daily basis so that we can enjoy life.

To our Troops.... A Big Thank You!
