Very Random Blog

Shaun Bradford

Yesterday I posted my first blog! I’m excited because I’m following through with something I love. I have NO idea where I’m going. None. All I know is that I’m moving and I can’t stop. – Journal entry dated December 7, 2017

So far I have published almost 450 blogs between this site and my other. Yesterday, I posted the quote, “Success requires sacrifice which requires discipline.” I added the following to the post I shared on Twitter:

After reading #WillSmith’s memoir, I truly believe anything’s possible. Too often we allow others to define what our success should look like. But it’s personal and should only be defined by us.

Align your sacrifices and discipline with what you truly want and it will happen.✨

I added even more to my Facebook and Instagram posts. For me, success is not based on financial goals or popularity. It is based on the ability to do what I love, which includes making positive connections and spreading love, kindness and hope. These are the things that fulfill me. And believe me, each of them requires sacrifice and discipline.

I do love my life.

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Here is a excerpt from my journal entry written on December 5, 2014:

Do what you need to do and everything else will fall in place. Believe me, God is already working it all out. No one can receive your blessings like you because they will not cherish the significance behind them like you will.

It has been seven years since I wrote that entry. Since then I have received so many blessings and experienced so many phenomenal moments. To others, those blessings and experiences may have seemed small, but for me they were mind blowing. I am forever grateful for everything God has done in my life thus far and look forward to what He is going to do. My assignment back then, which still stands today, is to listen to God and follow his guidance. And guess what?! Everything will fall in place.

Be Blessed

I Am Where I Am Supposed to Be

Shaun Bradford

Another Facebook memory! This one was shared on December 4, 2016. So much has happened since then. Too often I find myself thinking I should be further along than I am. Then God reminds me that I am exactly where I need to be at this point in time.

A few days ago, I was talking to a friend about how year after year, relationship after relationship, nothing changes. Seems like deja vu. Different situations but same ending. I believe our situations end the same, and we continue repeating the same patterns, because we refuse to accept the lesson. We know what is asked of us. We know the sacrifices we must make. Yet, we ignore the signs because we do not want to change. As you may know, change is not always comfortable. Especially when our comfort zones are so cozy, or when we are too afraid to rock the boat. I am not going to lie, the fear of losing what I already have with hopes of gaining more is frightening!

One thing I really love about God is His grace. His grace allows us to make mistakes, receive guidance, make adjustments and move forward. Yes, sometimes it takes several tries, but eventually we get there. Which is how I am feeling today. I feel like I am finally making the adjustments needed to move forward. Let’s just say, I understand the assignment!

Grateful.

I am where I am supposed to be at this point in time; however, this is not where I am meant to stay. Lesson learned.
