Distractions will come.
Setbacks will happen.
Never stop climbing.
Rest when needed.
Crawl if you must.
But never stop climbing.
You are so close to your dreams. Keep climbing.♥️

Hope, Part 2
Sometimes when I share, I share my thoughts as I am processing them, or as they are revealed to me. Yesterday, I had one of my “aha” moments about what I truly desired to achieve, not physically but spiritually. It wasn’t until I shared my message about hope on YouTube that I was able to put into words what that actually meant. Here’s what I shared:
“I have decided to build my foundation on hope. Not only hope for myself, but hope for others. It’s my desire to see a more hopeful world. I pray that I inspire others to remain hopeful through everything I do. Whether that’s through my posts, random encounters, or nutrition sessions and cooking demos. I must do my part to keep hope alive. The light is dimming. We cannot afford to let it go out.”
Please join me in keeping hope alive. Love you!♥️

Hello Sunday
Today’s message is, “Do not give up!” It’s a message I have shared on this date for the past few years. No matter what things look like or how badly you might want to quit (I know you’re tired), do not give up! God is working on your behalf. Soon everything will work in your favor.
Facebook Memory: February 25, 2019
Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. Believe me, God IS working. Every setback is preparing you for a bigger blessing. Just don’t give up. No matter what, keep believing, keep going.
Facebook Memory: February 25, 2022
Woke up with the word “steadfast” stuck in my head. It’s all I kept hearing. Now, my Facebook memories are showering me with confirmations. Listen, do not…I repeat…DO NOT give up!! God is working.
Facebook Memory: February 25, 2023
Listen!! DO NOT give up! What may seem impossible to man is NEVER impossible with God. Keep the faith and continue doing your part. God will take care of the rest. Have a blessed day.♥️
Remember, with God, all things are possible. He will not let you fail. Trust Him!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Hmm… Is This True?
Do you believe we attract what we are ready for?
Here’s what I wrote two years ago.
Facebook Memory: February 21, 2022
I believe the following quote to be true. Whether it’s opportunities or relationships, we will always attract what we’re ready for. Now, how we handle those opportunities and relationships is solely up to us. The choice is ours.
I still believe it to be true. We do attract what we are ready for. However, I think the most important part of what I wrote was, “How we handle those opportunities and relationships is solely up to us. The choice is ours.”
Oh the freedom of choice! My prayer for this side of 50 is that I make wiser choices when opportunities present themselves. I am determined to live the next 50 years differently.🙏🏽

Hello Sunday
Happy Sunday!
Listen, my attempt at posting something completely original is already out the window. Laughing. I looked at my Facebook memories and just had to share this gem from last year.
Facebook Memory: February 18, 2023
You do not have to see the entire picture before making a move. Just make the move and trust God to guide you through the unknown.♥️
I am going to add—because it’s what I have been doing lately—you don’t even have to see the picture at all. God’s word is enough. Trust it and move.
Some of the things I have experienced recently have required me to make quick decisions. I haven’t had the luxury of waiting days to think of how different decisions could play out. They have been those “God’s hands is on this, now move” situations. Basically, I haven’t had time to create fake scenarios that would self-sabotage opportunities. When God says it’s a good opportunity, I move. And at that first gut feel that something that sounds good isn’t right, I decline it quickly. Don’t even give it a chance to linger in my mind. Listen, I can think of all kinds of ways to make bad “good” opportunities align with my goals and purpose. Doing so in the past only delayed things I could have or should have been doing. Lessons learned.
Here’s my advice or what I have been living by. Trust God and move. No questions asked. Know the difference between the fear of doing something new and a true gut warning. Believe me, God will confirm your move within minutes. That, “Didn’t you ask for XYZ” is often the only confirmation needed.
Well, this is all I have right now. My daughter is leaving this morning going back to her new home. She and her fiancé came home last weekend for the Super Bowl and stayed the entire week (both work remotely). It was so great having her home. Last night we had one of our long, deep conversations. Honestly, I am not sure what we discussed but it was wonderful. I just love hearing her views on different topics, even though we don’t always agree. She’s a realist and I am…a bit different. Smile. However, all while she was talking I kept thinking, “This is my child.” Y’all, I am so proud of my two. Listen, they are not perfect but they are sooo perfect for me. I am blessed.
Wishing you a peaceful Sunday.♥️
Take Care,
Shaun
One Decision
I agree, ONE decision can change the entire trajectory of life.
I often wonder what life would have been like had I stayed in Kansas after graduation; had I not joined the Air Force. Would I still be living in the same town? Would I be married with several kids? What kind of career would I have?
There are so many instances where one decision could have significantly changed my life. Also where one decision did change my life. Overall, I am satisfied with the decisions I made. Could have made a few more wiser ones, but I didn’t, and it is what it is. Smiling
Praying God gives me the wisdom and courage (fear is a bugaboo) to make better decisions as I navigate through the next 50 years of life.♥️

Celebrating 1000 Days!
Woohoo!!! (confetti and streamers falling) Today marks 1000 consecutive days of posting! Yessss!!! Y’all, I have not missed a single day!
When I started my blog, I had no idea where it would take me or how long I would do it. It was one of those things I thought of in the middle of the night and created. Not much thought went into it. I just felt like writing some place other than my journal, and that’s when It’s Shaun’s World was created. At the time, I was leery about the title. It felt so self–centered. But then I had to remember my blog was actually about my world and that I was inviting readers along for the ride. Those who wanted to ride along could, and those who didn’t, could hop off at any time. Everything isn’t for everyone. Over the years, it has evolved from sharing stories solely about myself and my daily life to a reflection of life along with words of inspiration and encouragement…and a little bit of Godly wisdom—which birthed Shaun’s Daily Inspiration.
Y’all, I am forever fascinated with the way God moves and works. I just love watching Him work. It amazes me how He can turn a simple thought into a masterpiece. Now, I am not calling what I am creating, masterpieces, but they are totally unique to me and I am watching them evolve. If you haven’t noticed yet, I am intrigued by evolution. It just amazes me how things in life evolve. They are forever changing…mostly for the good. Don’t let the negativity and social media fool you. Great things are happening!
Let me not get sidetracked.
It’s Shaun’s World captures my evolution—my loves, hopes, dreams, progressions, setbacks, fears, weaknesses, heartbreaks, disappointments, attempts, creativity, and new heights. It captures everything. So, today, to commemorate my evolution and 1000 days of consistency and dedication, I would like to introduce my latest creation, Shaun’s Daily Inspiration YouTube channel! Shaun’s Daily Inspiration is part of my purpose and calling, and I can see it evolving.
Now, the channel is in the development stage. It was one of those things I woke up in the middle of the night and created. Listen, between 2:30 AM and 4:30 AM is when I am the most creative. I am not quite sure where I want to go with it yet, but I will know, eventually. If you would like to join that journey, please subscribe to Shaun’s Daily Inspiration. It’s where you can get a daily dose of inspiration and encouragement in 30 seconds or less. It’s definitely a work in progress. I am already anxious to see where it will be a year from now. Yes, I’m already excited!
Anyhoo…That’s all I have for you at the moment. Thank you for being a part of my evolution and journey. I appreciate the reads, likes, comments and shares. Thank you soooo much for being part of my world. Okay, now I am hearing Ariel singing, “Part of Your World.” I just love my life. Smile
Enjoy your day. Love you!♥️

Do You Know What You Desire To Achieve?
Do you know what you truly desire to achieve—in life, your relationships, and/or your career? If so, are you actively pursuing your desire(s). If not, why not? What’s stopping you?
Facebook Memory: February 4, 2022
That’s all I have for now. By the way, this is my 995th consecutive day of posting! Woohoo!! Five more days until 1000!!! Can’t you tell I’m excited?! Listen, I keep myself hyped!! Laughing. Can’t wait to celebrate!!!
Okay…I’m done. Enjoy the rest of your day and I will talk to you tomorrow.
