Live Purposefully

Shaun Bradford

Live purposefully.🙏🏽♥️

Today, I’m not feeling so well. Wanted to add more to the caption before I shared it on social media but that’s all I could muster. Thank God for journal entries. That was the last line of last year’s entry.

Y’all, for some crazy reason I thought colds only lasted 3-4 days. HA! Try 7-10. I’m praying I’ll feel better soon. Didn’t start coughing until yesterday. Now my throat is sore. I know I’m at fault. Been doing way too much. Today, I intend to purposely rest. It’s funny how we dish out advice but don’t take it ourselves.😉

Resting. ~ Shaun

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Happy Sunday!

Not feeling so well today. I caught a cold – only a cold – sometime last week. I believe the worse part is over. Well.. I hope the worst is over.

Honestly, the worst part hasn’t been the cold itself, but resting and taking it easy part. I keep finding things I “must” do. And then, I don’t do those well. Ugh. I’m praying that today, I actually get some rest. Probably going to unplug for a while after I post this.

Wishing you a wonderful day! Stay safe and healthy.

Your uniqueness makes you one of a kind. Stay true to who you are. ALWAYS show up as YOU!♥️ ~Shaun

Never Settle

Shaun Bradford

Have you ever settled because you were too anxious to wait? OR… because you believed that what you were offered was the best you could get? You know– “You better take what you can get.”

Nah! NEVER settle for less than what you desire. Believe me, you’re worth it and more!♥️ ~ Shaun

Happy Veterans Day

Shaun Bradford
I was 19 and ready to take on the world and all of its challenges. My mission was to make the world a better place.

Still can’t believe 30 years have passed. This young lady had no idea of the things she would go through to become the woman she is today.

I am so proud of her.

I am so proud of me.

God is good.

Press Pause

Shaun Bradford

So many things that happen in life are beyond our control. Today, I encourage you to take mental breaks whenever you feel overwhelmed. This could mean unplugging from social media, using DND, turning off the TV. Press pause on whatever’s causing you stress. Your mental well-being is dependent on it.♥️

Stay Focused

Today, I encourage you to stay focused on the bigger picture. The goal. The dream. The mission. The purpose.♥️ ~ Shaun

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Besides God, YOU are the ONLY one who knows what you truly want from life. YOU are the ONLY one who knows your heart’s truest desires. You know.. those things you have always longed for. Things you dreamt of as a child but suppressed as an adult because they seemed unrealistic or childish. Things you have never expressed out loud for fear of feeling vulnerable or being judged. Yeah.. those things.

Listen, we are only blessed with one life that we definitely – 100 percent – know of. Although I believe reincarnation is a possibility and heaven is real, the life we have now is meant to be lived to its fullest. Today, I encourage you to stop running from your heart’s desires (as long as they are safe- if they are potentially harmful to yourself or others, please seek help), drown out the noise and DO YOU! Be YOU! For YOU!♥️

Remember, life is what YOU make it. Be sure to make it what YOU want and not what others want for you.

Have a wonderfully, blessed Sunday!

Listen

Shaun Bradford

Be still and listen.
Be quiet and listen.
The answer’s there.
Just listen.

Once you’ve received your answer, it’s on you to accept it or not.♥️

Learning and growth is lifelong. It seems like every day I’m either learning something new or accepting what I have already known (growth).

I tend to talk to God a lot; however, I don’t always take time to listen. Or, I hear Him, don’t like the answer, and keep talking. Either way, He always provides answers.

Here’s what I’m learning:

  • If I listen the first, second or third time (yep.. I’m stubborn at times), I won’t have to keep repeating the same things.
  • Sometimes the answers will take me outside my comfort zone. I have to move while afraid, uncertain and uncomfortable.
  • God’s answers can contradict reason and logic. Yes, I’m learning to stop trying to make sense of things.
  • God will confirm His answers. I will say that nowadays He confirms them much faster than before, or not. Maybe the confirmation has always been there but I was not open to receiving the answer(s).

Going forward, my goal is to be intentional about listening, accepting and acting on God’s answers.

Ask and Believe

Shaun Bradford

Doubt is very LOUD! Sometimes it’s so loud that before we even ask, we’re doubting. If this is the case, why ask? Why waste time asking if we don’t believe?

If you truly want what you’re asking for – BELIEVE! Yes, doubt is loud but belief is more POWERFUL! Can’t you hear CeCe Winans singing, Believe For It? Smile. I can.♥️ ~ Shaun
