Great mernin to you

Look at the past 5 years of your life, the past year of your life, maybe even just the last 6 months. Have you improved your life?

If you answer yes than maybe this course can be for you to help others, since your already moving on an incline scale.

If you answer no, ARE ANY OF THESE YOUR REASONS?

*Have you felt a decline because of some type of discomfort (displacement) that occured? (some type of loss)

*Are you placing the blame somewhere else to make acceptance for where your life is now?

*Are you using that as your excuse to NOT make any changes or do anything about it?

*Have you given up & you really want to throw in the towel, but there is just something inside you that says… NO!!! I WON’T GIVE UP! I BELIEVE IN ME!

REPEAT AFTER ME… NO I WON’T GIVE UP! I AM A FIGHTER & I WILL FIGHT FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN. I BELIEVE IN MY DREAMS.

I CAN CREATE MY DREAMS TO BE MY REALITY!!! I WON’T GIVE UP!!!

SEE WHEN YOU SPEAK THOSE WORDS, YOU CAN STILL FEEL THAT SPARK THAT’S LYING DEEP WITHIN THAT YOU HAVE BEEN COVERING UP. WHILE YOU BEEN HOLDING ONTO SOMEONE ELSE’S GUILT, BLAME, SHAME, GRUDGES, OR SOMETHING SIMPLE LIKE HOW ANOTHER MADE YOU FEEL…

NO! HOW YOU MADE YOURSELF FEEL. SOMEONES ELSES OPINION OF YOU SHOULD NOT MAKE YOU FEEL ANY WAY OR DEFINE YOU!

OH YOUR HERE BECAUSE YOU FAILED? HA!!! & ONLY 6 TIMES, WELL GET BACK UP FOR ROUND #7. OMG I CAN’T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MANY FAILURES I HAVE HAD...SMDH.

But each time we get up, we learned what made us fall too. So if we’re smart enough which most of us are NOT… (LOL JUST a joke)

WE DON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN… some of us do, some don’t. BUT ONCE WE CREATE A DIFFERENT APPROACH, WE CAN GET A DIFFERENT OUTCOME.

**THERE IS NO SUCCESS WITHOUT FAILURE!!! YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL, BELIEVE ME FOLKS… ANYONE SUCCESSFUL HAS FAILED!!! MORE THAN ONCE…

FAIL DOESN’T EQUAL GIVE UP! YOU CANNOT BE DEFEATED AGAINST YOUR OWN SELF UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO.

LET ME ASK YOU THIS?

*Are you completely happy where you are in your life right now?

**Nope obviously not cause you wouldn’t be sitting here listening to me if everything was just perfect. The fact is none of us will ever live a perfect life. But we can always create a better one with a better story & ending to it.

When I was growing up, I was always working some different job, I would stay about 2 weeks long enough to get a paycheck & a few $ together so I can get my own stuff.. (never learned the value of paper money, I never had respect for it because it always came easy being a young, single, attractive gurl) I was never really happy at any of the jobs I had

(which I didn’t realize at the time, they weren’t fulfilling to my soul) The spark I had inside me was much greater than any of these odd ball things I was doing to earn a income. It was my roller coaster so I had to go through all the slow uphill process & the faster than I can blink to fall down. <>

Lose it all back to square 1 again, trying all types of things to see what I was good at or even what I just liked. Maybe i’d stay a little longer. The longest amount of time i had a job (JUST OVER BROKE) (WRITE THAT DOWN)... Was when I was a general manager at a corner bar. That lasted about 7 years. I enjoyed it. It still wasn’t fulfilling.

I don’t think I ever really knew what I wanted to do I just always knew I was very multi talented. I Loved musik so much & so incredibly musically inclined. Or simply just to be famous & on TV but didn’t know anything about how to get there. The facts were I ran in the streets, so there is no job in america or anything that I thought I had experience in that would pay what the streets pay. So I would continuously keep looking for the job that was paying most & close to a street hustle. It didn’t matter I still wasn’t ever really completely happy.

WHY?

I WAS NOT WORKING TOWARDS MY DREAMS, OR MY GOALS.

I got complacent. I felt I was doing ok with the job I had… living a “somewhat normal” life I guess to the “average” person. TOTALLY changing the way I was living my life.

Although I was making great money, I sure do remember always complaining about wanting more money though & living the luxurious lifestyle of the rich & famous like the movie stars did, (did ya hear that folks) complaining…

I think the longest in length job I had was probably a bar I was a general manager for about 7 years.

What does complaining do?

It creates a negative energy, so whatever your complaining about to get worst so now you can have more to complain about…

Do you see how that works?

The vicious cycle. So until you change those complaints into gratitude you will continue to get those same results.

Whatever we think about & put our energy into that’s the results you will get.

Example:

If your gonna complain about the gas bill being too high,or the cost of the water bill, well you know what it may be a little higher next month for putting that out into the universe. Your going to continue to get back what you think about, what you speak about, what you have fears about.

Once you learn the power of your mind, the much better off you will be.

YOU are the 1 who feeds it. (whether positive or negative) it will have the same reaction. To respond to YOU.

You will know & understand that it is your thoughts that create the world around you, the world which you yourself live in. You are the creator & the director of your own story, make it a great one. Don’t let your worst enemy live between your own 2 ears

True story:

So I bought a used car from this dealer I know, the car is 15 years old, a honda accord. Nothing fancy just a car to work & get me from point A to point B, when I’m making my millions then maybe I’ll spend for a new car. Until then I can make due without the payments. Anyways so I had the car a few months, I ran it across a few states a month after I had it, no problems besides basic maintenance, A woman I knew & was friendly with, needed a new car, I suggested go to the guy I know. She does, finds something she likes, takes it for a test drive, makes all the payment arrangements, etc. etc. She is buying this car. Great I’m thinking this will help her tremendously, well what do ya think happens, I start getting phone calls from both of them.

He is complaining to me that she is calling complaining to him about things wrong with the car, lights coming on, something he was supposed to fix… , blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah…. My response to this whole thing was… I was just trying to help, THAT' your business is NOT my business. . You needed a car, he sells cars, mine is awesome, I haven’t had a problem at all, I referred you, what happens after ???

Then I turned to him & said…

You know you could give 2 people the same car. Your gonna get different results depending on the mentality of that individual.

A POSITIVE MIND:

*THERE’S NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL

Positive: … awesome.. Snaps in in a sinch. Super easy)

A NEGATIVE MIND:

*SOMETHING ISN’T CORRECT.

so many examples…

Negative: fixing a car… this is the wrong part,

What B.I.G., P. Diddy, & Mase, hahaha mo money mo problems, well is that true?

Now it’s all about your perception of money.

I have always been a fiercely independent woman., or some kind of hustle going on…

I am a queen of all trades… i am a creator, artist, actor, model, writer, speaker, teacher, server.

I can take care of myself just fine.
