Leap, You Won’t Regret It

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning! For the past few years, I’ve been sharing the same message on September 16th—Take the leap!

This past weekend we celebrated one of my sister-friends’ big leap. It was a leap she had been toying with for years, and Friday she did it! We’re so proud of her. It’s her time to shine!

Here’s what I shared last year.

Facebook Memory: September 16, 2023

“How badly do you want it?! Listen, take that leap and go after it! Remember, you only have ONE life.”

In 2021, I wrote, “Take the leap. Then, keep leaping.”

Listen, taking major leaps takes courage. Not only do you have to deal with fear, but you have to be mentally prepared. From my experience, the decision to leap usually happens when what you want—the “how badly do you want it?”—outweighs your fear. It’s in that moment that you ask yourself “What do I have to lose?”, and you leap. I’m not going to lie, it’s an amazing feeling, almost euphoric. As I told my friend, bask in that feeling. Give yourself time to soak it all in. Then, give yourself grace and time to adjust. Because, believe me, when reality sets in, it sets in! That’s when you exhale and allow life to flow.

Thinking back to all the major leaps I’ve taken in life, I have yet to regret one. Every last one was necessary. I wouldn’t be where I am or who I am today had I not leaped. Y’all, God is so good.

That’s it for now. I pray you have a wonderful day and week. May they be filled with love, peace, joy and blessings.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Happy Sunday! I pray your weekend has been great and today is just as wonderful.

So, here’s today’s Facebook memory. I screenshot it to capture the hashtags. The one that stood out most was “It’s Soul Deep.”

“Genuine happiness is when your soul is at peace—it’s soul deep.” I felt that.

As you can see, I was heavy with the hashtags. Smile. Which one resonated with you?

Well, that’s all for now. Again, have a wonderful day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Prayer

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!

Remaining obedient while allowing God to lead.🙏🏽

That was my prayer nine years ago. Today, it’s pretty much the same—for God to use me as He sees fit. Now, I’m not going to lie, it’s not always easy to do. I do struggle. However, I do know His promises and my purpose are great, and there’s so much more for me to do and achieve during this lifetime. I will not allow fear, doubt, or the complexities of life stop me from having or achieving everything God has for me. As I said then, I know I can do ALL things when He’s involved.

I pray you have a beautiful weekend.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Your Story’s Not Over

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!

Last year I shared the following on Facebook:

“It’s YOUR story.
Keep writing!♥️”

Shared on September 13, 2023.

Well, the same message applies today. Keep writing because your story is far from over. As long as you have breath in your body, there’s more to be written.

So, keep writing!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

More Than A Conqueror

Shaun Bradford

People are only privy to what you’re willing to share. They don’t know the half of what you’ve gone through to become who you are today. They don’t know the mental, emotional, and spiritual hells you’ve endured. Nah… only you and God know. You’ve conquered every battle and have the scars to prove it. What was meant to destroy you couldn’t take you out because you are covered by God. That’s right. You’re covered! And you are still here, and against all odds, you’re still standing. Friend, you are more than a conqueror!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

God’s child!
