Purpose Requires Focus

Usually, I share the same captions that I use when I post my quotes on my social media platforms. However, today, I’m sharing the Facebook memory that inspired today’s quote.

August 2, 2019

It’s Friday, y’all! Here’s today’s social media find. Decided to use my own quote.😊 We can’t allow distractions to throw us off track. Our purpose is far too important to let small things hold us back.

Y’all, sometimes distractions are hard to recognize (or we refuse to see them as distractions). A distraction can be as small as someone looking at us the wrong way or not speaking. Or it could be binge watching a Netflix show or spending hours on Pinterest. Anyhoo, whether good or bad, distractions keep us from focusing on our purpose. Enjoy life, but stay focused. Oh…as for the negative distractions, give them to God and keep going. They’re not worth our time or attention.

Yesterday I decided to log off on one of my Instagram accounts. Just like my Twitter account, I could see it was becoming a distraction and affecting me mentally and emotionally. Not a lot, but it was. Even though posts shared by the people I follow were positive and inspirational, the suggested posts that continued to pop up were about things that I found myself dwelling on much longer than necessary. Typically I’d blow it off and refocus. However, I’ve learned from experience that if I don’t handle it now, I’ll end up in the same place before, anxious and unable to concentrate. So it was best to log off now.

By the way, here’s today’s quote. Almost forgot to share it. ~ Shaun

I Love Who I Am Becoming

For so many years, I have enjoyed watching God work in other people’s lives. However, TODAY, I am enjoying watching Him work in my life. This morning I finally realized I have actually accomplished so much while celebrating others. Yes, ME! Y’all, I’m in tears. I absolutely LOVE who I am becoming.♥️ ~ Shaun

Wednesday Writings

Today, I am beginning a little late. Decided everything else could wait. I needed to spend some quality time with God. Do not get me wrong, I talk to God all day long; however, while I’m talking, I’m also doing a million other things. So if my focus is not solely on God can I truly say I’m spending time with Him? Hmm…

Well, I began today a bit differently. In stead of me doing a lot of talking– asking a thousand questions and trying to figure things out– I sat still and listened. If you did not know, so many answers can be found while sitting still and giving God your undivided attention. You should try it!

So, yes.. today, I sat still, listened and found my answers. I hear You, God. Smiling

Thanks for reading. Wishing you a wonderful day.

Love

It’s quite evident that hate is in the air. However, love is also in the air. Today, let’s focus on love.

Give it.
Receive it.
Embrace it.

Yes, it’s all about LOVE. Is it just me or can you also hear Earth, Wind & Fire singing #AllAboutLove.♥️ ~ Shaun

It’s all about love.

How many times have you started your day and right when you think everything is going well, you hit a bump? #GottaLoveLife, right?!

Listen, don’t let the bumps get you down. Over the years, I’ve learned that bumps are only lessons designed to make us stronger. So breathe, release, refocus and KEEP GOING! Life does get better.♥️ ~ Shaun
