Much More Is Waiting

As I wrote two years ago, where you currently are is not where you are meant to stay. There is so much more waiting for you to see and achieve. Keep going!♥️ ~Shaun

Facebook Memory: January 8, 2022

Where you are at in this moment in time is not where you are meant to stay. Do not give up and whatever you do, please do not settle. Higher IS waiting.

You have come too far to stop now. Keep going higher!🙏🏽♥️

Progress Is Progress—Period!

I shared the following two years ago.

Facebook Memory: January 7, 2022

Progress IS progress. Whether it’s one step or leaps closer to achieving your goals or dreams, always acknowledge your progression. It really is a big deal!

Note: Your progress does not have to be visible to others. So stop worrying about who notices. You may not be where you want to be, but you’re moving.😌

Much too often we look at what others are doing or their success, and forget to acknowledge our own progression. I’m so thankful I’m not where I use to be 5 or 10 years ago, even a month ago. Ain’t God good!

No matter how far off things may seem, every day you become a little closer to your dreams. Keep going!

Love you!♥️

Hello Sunday

Happy First Sunday of 2024! Thanking God for life, love, health, purpose and peace. Going to start this year off with one of my favorite worship songs. Found it among today’s Facebook memories and thought I would share.

Alabaster Box by CeCe Winans
Lyrics: AZLyrics.com

The room grew still
As she made her way to Jesus
She stumbles through the tears that made her blind
She felt such pain
Some spoke in anger
Heard folks whisper
There’s no place here for her kind
Still on she came
Through the shame that flushed her face
Until at last, she knelt before his feet
And though she spoke no words
Everything she said was heard
As she poured her love for the Master
From her box of alabaster

And I’ve come to pour
My praise on Him
Like oil from Mary’s alabaster box
Don’t be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
And I dry them with my hair
You weren’t there the night He found me
You did not feel what I felt
When he wrapped his loving arms around me and
You don’t know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box

I can’t forget the way life used to be
I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound
And I spent my days
Poured my life without measure
Into a little treasure box
I’d thought I’d found
Until the day when Jesus came to me
And healed my soul
With the wonder of His touch
So now I’m giving back to Him
All the praise He’s worthy of
I’ve been forgiven
And that’s why
I love Him so much

And I’ve come to pour
My praise on Him
Like oil from Mary’s alabaster box
Don’t be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
And dry them with my hair (my hair)
You weren’t there the night Jesus found me
You did not feel what I felt
When He wrapped his loving arms around me and
You don’t know the cost of the oil
Oh, you don’t know the cost of my praise
You don’t know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box

Listen, when CeCe says– “You weren’t there the night Jesus found me. You did not feel what I felt when He wrapped His loving arms around me.” Whew!!! ONLY God knows. Forever grateful for His unconditional love, mercy, and grace. I am pretty sure someone else can relate. No one will ever quite understand the cost of our oils. All they need to know is that we are still here! Amen.

I pray this song continues to bless you as much as it does me. Wishing you a wonderfully, peaceful Sunday.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

How It Started

One of today’s Facebook memories was a reminder of when I first started creating and sharing inspirational content (2018). I updated the video to include graphics from 2023 and the one I shared earlier today, which included my first drawing for the year.

Facebook Memory: January 6, 2022

Much too often we forget to celebrate our small successes along the way because we’re so anxious for the BIG win. Well, today I’m celebrating mine. Over the years, I have watched my inspirations evolve. They are no where near what I would like for them to be, and have yet to reach millions (yeah.. thinking globally), however, I’m still making progress. I see the growth. #Grateful #Progress

2018–2024

I am so proud of myself for continuing doing what I love. I am not sure where all of this is going but I do know it’s part of my purpose and calling. Can’t wait to see where Shaun’s Daily Inspiration will be 2-3 years from now.♥️

You Did Not Give Up

This time next year, you will be in a better place in all aspects of life because you did not give up. You overcame your fears, mastered your challenges, and blocked all self-doubt. Yes, YOU!

You kept going despite the odds. Now look at you all glossed up and bossed up! I see you, and I am so very proud of you. You did not give up!♥️ ~Shaun

Smile, you made it!! Now, keep going!

It Won’t Always Be Like This

Singing VaShawn Mitchell’s “Turning Around For Me.”

Turning Around For Me by VaShawn Mitchell
Lyrics: Musixmatch

Sometimes discouraged but not defeated
Cast down but not destroyed
There are times I don’t understand
But I believe it’s turning around for me

I’ve had struggles and disappointments
There were times I felt so alone
Some of my friends, they let me down
But I still believe, it’s turning around for me

Around for me
Around for me
Around for me
It’s turning around for me

Around for me
Around for me
Around for me
It’s turning around for me

‘Cause I can see the breaking
I can see the breaking of day
God is making a way
A change is coming for me
If I stand strong and believe
There’s no reason to doubt
I know He’s working it out
It’s turning around for me

It won’t always be like this
He will perfect that concerning me
And sooner or later, it will turn in my favour
Sooner or later, turn in my favour
It’s turning around for me

It won’t always be like this
The Lord will perfect that concerning me
Sooner or later, turn in my favour
Sooner or later, turn in my favour
Sooner or later, turn in my favour
It’s turning around for me
It’s turning around for me

Around for me(around for me)
Around for me(around for me)
Around for me(around for me)
It’s turning around for me

Around for me
Around for me
Around for me
It’s turning around for me

Around for me
Around for me
Around for me
It’s turning around for me

It won’t always be like this
He will perfect that concerning me
Sooner or later, turn in my favour
Sooner or later, turn in my favour


Smile. Good news is on the way. I can feel it!

Be Blessed♥️

All We Have Is The Present

I cannot believe we are almost one full week into 2024! Time is doing what it does—moving forward without a care in the world. It does not care about feelings, life, peace or chaos. Nope. It just moves right along. Which brings me to today’s Facebook memory—staying present. I believe when we stop fighting time life seems to flow so much more effortlessly.

Facebook Memory: January 5, 2023

Let’s not be so consumed with the past or the future that we miss out on today’s blessings. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not promised. All we have is now.♥️

Staying present represents our respect for time.

Today, I challenge you (doing the same for myself) to stay present and enjoy the gift of now. Have a wonderful day and beautiful weekend!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You Are Your Journey

Facebook Memory: January 4, 2022

“In the end, she became more than what she expected.” R.M. Drake

You and your journey are one and the same. Change directions if you must, but never stop going. You are destined to win.♥️ ~Shaun

Freedom

Freedom

Breathe it

Feel it

Embrace it

I believe one of the greatest freedoms of our time is the freedom of being hidden. The freedom of not being well known or always seen. The freedom of not having hundreds of thousands of followers. The freedom of not having to perform for people who will love you in one breath and curse you in the next. Freedom from the chains of clicks, impressions, views, and likes. The freedom to just be.

Freedom

Embrace it

Feel it

Breathe it

Own it


Y’all, our mental, emotional, and spiritual health is priceless. We must protect it at all costs. Love you!♥️

Trust God’s Plan

I wrote the following two years ago (January 4, 2022)–

As the years pass, I’m learning that the dream doesn’t always look like what you initially imagined. Nothing like it! My advice is to let go of whatever you had in mind and trust God to lead and guide you to where you’re supposed to be. Believe me, what He has planned is far better than anything you’ve ever imagined! Trust Him!

Believe me, even if you cannot see or feel anything happening, it is. God is still in control and working, and your dream is still intact. Hang in there!♥️
