Why am I still in my box?

-

A year ago my mentor sent me an email about me being inside of box- not showing the world who I am, what my talents are and the gift that God has given me. Eventually I learned how to come out of my box while living in the UK and I was able to impact a few lives while doing so.  Living inside the box was safe, no one knew me, no one expected anything of me, I could be free well at least that was the illusion I was selling to myself. In contrast, living outside of the box created a passion, it made me feel valuable, it showed me my purpose in this world and that was real freedom - knowing everyday that I can impact the world just by being who I was meant to be, created a feeling of "flying" in my soul. I actually love being outside of the box although I am more vulnerable there but I think venerability is the one thing that allows people to connect with you. It's the one thing that allows people to feel comfortable around you(i.e. like a form of humility) so don't ...

Losing Friends and People

I can't please everybody and it's not my business what people think of me. I'm human and I battle my human instincts just like every man but they never get the best of me. NEVER! My great grandmother was a prayer warrior and I am blessed to had met her and known her for 9 years of my life before she passed away.

At that age, I guess, all one can do is sit down and reflect, bad decisions, good decisions, regrets or no regrets. My great grandmother spent most of her days stirring outside the window just thinking and observing away. Thinking about it, it's probably where I get my observant nature from. Early in my adult life I develop a concept that I will lose people yearly and I will gain people yearly, the ones who last a decade are the ones that are meant to be in my life. That's just how it works, people come and go but the journey remains the s...

Finding My Balance Again

I am badly off my groove right now, and I need to get back in it. The first quarter of the year is over and I am happy at the rate that I am moving at, however, I still have a lot of personal work to do. This second quarter is very important to me because if it doesn't go my way well....yeah. Through it all though, I thank God for the opportunities he is about to provide for me, there is no doubt of his presence in my life and I appreciate the support he has for me and my vision in which could be his vision for my life. I know exactly where I need to be and how I need to get there but of course the journey itself is totally up to him. Only God knows the lessons I need to fully mature into the adult I need to be for my dreams to truly mean something to me so I put my faith and trust in his words. My balance is always found in my silence so I know what I will be doing to rebalance so that I am ready for this second quarter. Silence is the only way God is able to talk to me and so...
