Choose Kindness Over Ego

Shaun Bradford

A Kind Word
“A kind word, a gentle smile, and a grateful heart has a way of changing people and situations.” –Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

Be kind.

It doesn’t take much to do so once ego is removed.

When we feel wronged or disrespected, more times than not, our ego says to retaliate in some way or another. However, kindness pushes us to look beyond our feelings and respond with goodness, compassion, and love.

I encourage you to follow the direction of kindness. Even if you don’t see an immediate reaction or response from your effort, know that your kind gesture made an impact.

Side Note: Always be kind—not a pushover or doormat—but kind. There’s a difference. Just had to throw that in. Smile

Praying you have a wonderful day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

An Expression Of God’s Love

Compassion

“Compassion is an expression of God’s love, and it’s offered freely.” Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

If you’d like to be a beacon of God’s love, start with compassion.🌺

On another note about an expression of God’s love, today I’m celebrating the 8th Anniversary of It’s Shaun’s World! Woohoo!!🎉

Grateful and blessed to have been here for eight years! I pray that throughout the years I have been an expression of God’s love and that I continue to be.

Thank you for supporting me over the years, giving me a safe space to grow, and for allowing me to BE. I truly, truly appreciate you!💕

Wishing you a beautifully blessed day!♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

ALSO….

In two weeks I’ll be 53!!!🎉🎉🎉

Hope For Today

Shaun Bradford

Moments of Hope by Shaun’s Daily Inspiration 

“Moments of hope are found in the memories of smiles, the sounds of laughter, and stories of goodness. It’s those memories, and the anticipation of more like moments, that keep humanity alive. They keep hope alive.”

Today, if only for a moment, remember the smiles, the laughter, the good times, feelings of love, happiness, and joy. They’re not only experiences of the past but a glimpse of more like experiences to come. As songstress Maurette Brown Clark says, “It ain’t over until God says it’s over. Keep fighting until the victory is won…God has the final say.” 

It Ain’t Over by Maurette Brown Clark

Remain hopeful.

God has the final say.♥️

Joy and Gratitude

Shaun Bradford

I’m beginning my day with joy and gratitude as I do every morning. Over the years, I’ve learned that Joy Grows with Gratitude. The more grateful I am, the more joyous I am.

God, thank You for waking me up this morning. For the rhythm of my heartbeat. For the ability to see, hear, breathe, walk, and think. These are things I often overlook because they happen so naturally. But I want You to know they’re not things I take for granted. I’m grateful to be here. Amen

What are you grateful for today?

Remember to start every morning with gratitude, and watch how your joy grows.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Count Your Blessings

Happy Wednesday!

Beautiful Blessings surround us every day. However, we often miss them because we’re so focused on future blessings. I encourage you to sit still and take in your surroundings. I promise you’ll find blessings you may be overlooking.

Sit still.

Be present.

Count your blessings.

You’ll be amazed by how many you find.♥️

“Today, I encourage you to focus on the good.” –Moi

Focus On The Good by Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

So many good things are happening right in front of our faces. However, much too often we’re too consumed by uncertainties and worries to see them.

Today, I encourage you to give your worries to God. Let Him handle them while you focus on the goodness and blessings surrounding you.

Wishing you a wonderful day!♥️

I love you,

I Unplugged To Reconnect

Shaun Bradford

Just responded to a daily prompt asking when do we know when it’s time to unplug. I thought it was a great question for someone (me☺️) just returning from being unplugged for a month.

Y’all, unplugging was truly one of the best decisions I’d ever made. I’m still not back on social media yet. Not sure when I’ll return to those spaces. I’ve enjoyed being in the physical presence of others. I’ve even started talking on the phone and using FaceTime more. I used to be a text girl. I could text all day! Never wanted to talk. Lol. But now, life is a bit different. I like this space I’m in.☺️

Anyhoo… Here’s the response I shared from Shaun’s Daily Inspiration.

“Life is meant to be lived and experienced in the present moment physically, not virtually.” –Moi

I Unplug When…

Enjoy the read!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
