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.
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
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.

“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!♥️
Hello! I’m hoping you’re doing well. I realize I haven’t greeted you in ages, which is pretty rude of me. It’s like me walking into a room and not speaking, or waking up and not saying “Good Morning.” Please forgive me for not acknowledging you before sharing my thoughts. I promise to do better and not only let you know you are loved at the end, but that your presence is appreciated at the beginning.
So, while looking for inspiration for this post, I found this prayer in one of my “Wednesday Writings” (July 21, 2021). It is one I haven’t said in a while or been mindful of. Here it is —
“I pray that I recognize and accept the opportunities He [God] sends my way. I pray fear does not stop me from moving forward. I pray God gives me the strength– mentally, spiritually and physically– to endure this task.”
I ended it with —
“I know God’s got me, but do I have myself?”
Hmmm…
That was a great question. Did I have myself? Well, I thought I did, and to some extent I did. However, I was still working through a lot of stuff. One of which was learning to put myself first. To stop overlooking my needs, desires, and feelings to appease others. That was in 2021. Today, I can’t say I am 100% there; however, I am pretty close (95-98%). Had to get over the guilt of feeling selfish. The interesting part is the ones who mattered the most, my two hearts, were the ones urging me to take care of myself, first. Maybe they are actually the reason for my growth. I just love them and the way they love me. I guess I said all of that to say, “Yes, I got me!”
I also found another gem in the post (besides the prayer). I was celebrating my continual days of writing. Here’s what I wrote —
“I’m on my 67th day of continuous blogging and refuse to stop until I reach 100 days.”
100 days…
100 days was my goal…
Y’all, I’m in tears! Today makes 1170 days of continuous blogging. And to think I was only trying to make it to 100. Back then I was struggling to post once a day. Now, I’m posting at least twice a day, and not only on this platform but others. Yep… I’m crying. I had no idea of what I was capable of. It may not seem significant to you but it’s huge to me. These are my 1170 blue hearts.💙
I’m going to go ahead and end here because I’m crying (tears of praise and gratitude) too much to keep writing. Praying you have a wonderful Sunday. ♥️
It’s Shaun’s World
