Timing and Purpose

Shaun Bradford

Today, in the United States, we are celebrating the life and legacy of the late, great civil rights activist, leader, and minister, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. When I think of Dr. King, I think of timing and purpose. He was placed in the right place at the right time to fulfill a purpose that only he could fulfill.

Let that soak in…

Dr. King was placed in the right place at the right time to fulfill a purpose that only HE could fulfill. Talk about the true definition of one of one.

Y’all, God is so strategic about His purpose and plan. Everything that happens is designed to perfectly align with God’s purpose and plan; and our role in it all is so strategic. Listen, we matter. Yes…we matter! YOU matter! We are not just here to take up space. No…WE are here to fulfill a specific purpose during this time.

Please hear me! WE are alive during this particular time to fulfill a purpose that only we can fulfill. WE are the Dr. Kings of our time.♥️

We do not have to see the entire picture before we start. All we have to do is take the first step and God will guide us through the rest.

Love you,

Shaun

Destined For Greatness

Shaun Bradford

Since it’s after midnight and I am wide awake I thought I would go ahead and post my first blog for today.

Facebook Memory: January 15, 2022

Great things take time. Be patient with yourself and trust the process. Your time is coming.

Note: Always remember that your greatness is defined by you [and God] not by others.

Your purpose is too great and too important to give up on. Trust the process. God’s got you!

Wishing you a peaceful night and a wonderful week. Stay safe. Stay warm (it’s cold, y’all). And be blessed. Love you!♥️

Life: Trust God’s Process

Shaun Bradford

Life is so wonderfully unpredictable. You set out with one thought or goal in mind and end up somewhere completely different. Different is not necessarily a bad thing, it’s just different.

No matter where you are in this particular moment in life, know that it is temporary. Sadly, the highs don’t last forever, but thankfully the lows do not either. Y’all, God is so merciful. We must remember life is full of necessary ebbs and flows. They are all part of a greater purpose and plan. Although we may question where life is taking us, it is so important for us to trust God and trust His process. He really does have our best interest at heart. Everything will work out in our favor.♥️ ~Shaun

God’s got you!

Progress Is Progress—Period!

Shaun Bradford

I shared the following two years ago.

Facebook Memory: January 7, 2022

Progress IS progress. Whether it’s one step or leaps closer to achieving your goals or dreams, always acknowledge your progression. It really is a big deal!

Note: Your progress does not have to be visible to others. So stop worrying about who notices. You may not be where you want to be, but you’re moving.😌

Much too often we look at what others are doing or their success, and forget to acknowledge our own progression. I’m so thankful I’m not where I use to be 5 or 10 years ago, even a month ago. Ain’t God good!

No matter how far off things may seem, every day you become a little closer to your dreams. Keep going!

Love you!♥️

How It Started

Shaun Bradford

One of today’s Facebook memories was a reminder of when I first started creating and sharing inspirational content (2018). I updated the video to include graphics from 2023 and the one I shared earlier today, which included my first drawing for the year.

Facebook Memory: January 6, 2022

Much too often we forget to celebrate our small successes along the way because we’re so anxious for the BIG win. Well, today I’m celebrating mine. Over the years, I have watched my inspirations evolve. They are no where near what I would like for them to be, and have yet to reach millions (yeah.. thinking globally), however, I’m still making progress. I see the growth. #Grateful #Progress

2018–2024

I am so proud of myself for continuing doing what I love. I am not sure where all of this is going but I do know it’s part of my purpose and calling. Can’t wait to see where Shaun’s Daily Inspiration will be 2-3 years from now.♥️

My Purpose

Shaun Bradford

Was reading a journal entry from December 21, 2021, and in it I had written:

I have a prophetic word for myself – Shaun, your words will reach and inspire multitudes. Amen

To inspire and encourage others is my purpose. I wholeheartedly believe it is what I have been called to do so I am sticking with it. And yes…I did prophesy over myself. Laughing

Good Night!♥️

Only Two Weeks Left in 2023

Shaun Bradford

Y’all, we are only two weeks away from the glorious 2024! Yes, I am referring to it as glorious because 6/24 is my birthday month as well as my 51st birthday. How cool is that! Looking forward to every wonderful thing God has planned for me. It’s going to be a great year!

Here’s a caption from one of last year’s Facebook memories along with the Hello Sunday post I shared with it.

Facebook Memory: December 18, 2022

Only 2 weeks left in 2022!🎉

Whatever happened or didn’t happen this year, was meant to be. If you’re human like me, I know you celebrated your wins, even the small ones. But your losses, disappointments and setbacks… How did you cope – or attempt to cope – when things didn’t quite go as planned?

Me– I leaned on God a little more. I’m so grateful for His love, mercy and grace.♥️

Hello Sunday
There is nothing comparable to God’s love, mercy, and grace. He’s so amazing.

Y’all, self-love is everything, but God’s love will always, always, always reign supreme. I just love the way He loves me. If you do not already have a strong relationship with God, I suggest you build one. There is absolutely nothing like it—nothing like it! I cannot stress it enough, I am truly blessed.

Praying you have a peacefully, blessed week. Whatever goals you set for 2023 can still happen! Don’t let the countdown to the new year stop you from achieving as much as you can. You got this!

Love you!♥️

Celebrating 2 Years!

Shaun Bradford

Long before I decided on a name, I had already been sharing inspirational quotes and posts on different platforms. It wasn’t until I created the Facebook page that Shaun’s Daily Inspiration was birthed.

Here is what I shared on that day.

Facebook Memory: December 13, 2021

I believe I have found my purpose in life and that’s to inspire others through my quotes and blogs.

This is my purpose.

Recently, a former student left a comment on a post not associated with my quotes that said, “Ms. Bradford is an inspiration.” Y’all, I was in tears. It was so unexpected. It’s comments like hers that confirm I am on the right path; that I am doing what I am meant to do; that I am following my purpose. God is good.

That’s all for now. Have a wonderful day!♥️

Keep Showing Up

Shaun Bradford

No matter what—Keep showing up! Even if you have to take multiple breaks to reflect, recharge and refocus, keep showing up. Also, remember to place your faith in God, not people. People may not understand your situation, but God does. He sees all and knows all. As I said in my previous blog, the only approval you need is God’s.♥️ ~Shaun

TikTok Memory: December 9, 2021

You got this!! Keep showing up!

Remember Your Purpose

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: December 2, 2022

It’s so easy to become distracted by the need to complete tasks and mark things off our checklists that we forget our purpose—our Why. Today, I encourage you to remember your purpose. Remember why you initially wanted to make a difference.♥️

Your purpose is so much greater than you realize. Allow God to lead and stay focused.

Shaun
