Good Morning! Today’s Facebook memory is a great reminder to use discernment when making decisions. Especially when making decisions that are potentially life changing. Here’s what I shared two years ago.
Facebook Memory: September 6, 2022
Discernment– the ability to judge well: the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend what is obscure.
God has given each of us the ability to discern whether or not something is in our best interest. If it’s not, let it go. If it is, embrace it. Discernment is one of our superpowers. Be sure to use it.♥️
That’s it for now. Remember, God has given us all the power of discernment. Let’s use it. Our purposes are too great for us not to.
Good Morning! Today’s post is a screenshot of notes I took on September 5, 2022 while watching an episode of Laurie Crouch’s “Better Together” podcast. Unfortunately, I didn’t include a link (probably should start) or the title. However, I did include who said what so you might be able to find this particular episode if you’d like to watch it.
Notes from September 5, 2022
Me seeing this message today makes me want to pursue my dreams even more. It’s confirmation that I am moving in the right direction and that they are happening…now!
I wrote those notes two years ago. Today (literally), I’m serving. I’ve been working with a nonprofit organization helping them prepare for their charity day event (coincides with the International Day of Charity) which is happening in a few hours. Y’all, I have been serving, and God has been building. Forever grateful and beyond blessed.🥰
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. I pray you have a wonderfully, beautiful day.♥️
Hello! It’s after midnight and I am wide awake. Fell asleep around 8 PM, now I’m up. Here’s a memory worth sharing. The reason I titled this post “Worth the Risk” is because pursuing dreams comes with all kinds of risks. The question is, are your dreams worth the risks? The risk of failure. The risks of disappointments, setbacks, heartbreaks, loss, etc. My answer is, “Yes!”. Yes, because there’s always the possibility of success, blessings, happiness, growth, abundance, and all good things.
I love the last statement in the post below, “Even if you lose, you just can’t lose.” That’s God.
Never give up on your dreams. Believe me, they are worth the risks. Remain optimistic. They will happen and be better than you ever imagined. Love you!♥️
Here’s a little reassurance for anyone who needs it. Listen, be patient. I know it’s easier said than done. However, if God said it, it will be. As I wrote three years ago, everything will happen in God’s appointed time—when He knows you are prepared to receive [it]—when you’re ready. I’m not just saying this because it sounds good and encouraging. I’m saying it because I know it to be true.♥️ ~Shaun
Feeling a bit off track? Feeling as if life has thrown you one too many curve balls and you’re tired of swinging? Are you asking if anything will ever work as you planned? I mean, God’s plan is the plan, right, but will the two ever align?
Guess what?!
You are right where you are meant to be… at this moment in time. However, it’s not where you are meant to stay. Be patient with the process, as well as with yourself. God’s plan and your dreams will eventually align. Everything will work out in your favor.♥️
Our road to success may seem never ending. However, we must continue moving forward as if our big break is only moments away. That’s hope.

Good Morning!☀️ Here’s today’s social media find. DO NOT GIVE UP! Success does not happen overnight. We refer to some as “overnight” successes, but in reality, they’ve been working on their craft for a while. Think about all of the social media celebrities. Most of us saw them when they first started making videos. They didn’t give up. They practiced their craft until it was so good that others wanted to share it.
If you have an idea or vision, that’s been nagging you for years, do it. Maybe all of the pieces aren’t in place, and you feel like making a move is pointless. Believe me, it’s not! Do something. Work towards it. Just don’t sit idle and one day wish you would have tried. The road to success will not be easy. DON’T GIVE UP! (This isn’t just for you, it’s for me too!☺️)

Do not give up!
Keep going!
Stumble.
Fall.
Get back up.
Keep going.
It will happen.
Sooner than later.
Smile.😊
Remain hopeful and optimistic. You’ve got this! Love you.♥️
Good Morning! I have two Facebook memories to share. Couldn’t decide which I wanted to share most so I decided to share both. They were both shared six years ago, and from the order of my memories, I shared this one first.
Facebook Memory: August 19, 2018
“Today’s social media find! If you dream it, you can have it. Oftentimes it’s not other people. It’s our own self-doubt that holds us back. Whenever doubt tries to step in, shut it DOWN! Let doubt know you’ve got this!”
I used the hashtags #NeverGiveUp and #StayFocused (Photo Credit: Unknown)
Then, the next post I shared, which was probably much later that day, was about a dream that didn’t come to fruition. Here’s what I shared.

Kofi Annan’s death hit me like Colin Powell’s did, very hard. They were two icons I really wanted to meet. Like, there are people you want to meet and there are people you need to meet. I felt as if I needed to meet them both and somehow missed the opportunity. Maybe our souls met lifetimes before that’s why I felt the need so strongly. Anyhoo… Even though I didn’t get to meet them, I did meet Leah Chase, who was at the top of my list of people to meet. My heart still smiles when I think of our brief encounter. So, dreams do come true. Maybe not all but the ones that are meant to, do. Smile
That’s all for now. Wishing you a lovely day and spectacular week!♥️
From what I have seen and heard through others’ testimonies, as well as a few of my own life experiences, no matter how long it takes, your dreams and goals will eventually come to pass.
Eventually…
Honestly, sometimes eventually sounds like never.
If you’re still waiting on eventually to come, I have a few questions for you—
1) Are you still working towards your dreams and goals even if you have mentally checked out?
2) Are you willing to make the necessary sacrifices to attain them?
Last one, which is one I’ve asked myself—
3) Do you actually want to achieve your dreams and goals? Basically, are they your dreams or someone else’s, or are they things you no longer want to have/do?
Here’s what I shared two years ago.

Your dreams and goals ARE attainable. Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
Am I putting in the work?
Am I making the necessary sacrifices?
Do I actually want it?👀
Dig deep! If you REALLY want it, make the sacrifices and work for it!♥️
Your dreams and goals are attainable. Don’t give up!♥️
Believe in yourself and your abilities. If God put the dreams and goals inside of you, know that you are capable of achieving them. You got this!♥️ ~Shaun
