What’s Your View On Life?

What’s your overall take on life?

Mine…

Overall, I believe life is beautiful. It has its rough moments, but when I think about it, they have never outweighed the good ones. I have had so many more good times than bad.

Facebook Memory: April 4, 2022

How we view life is merely a reflection of what’s in our hearts and souls.♥️

Y’all, yesterday was my first day in years of feeling like I was in my zone. Like I was where I was meant to be, doing what I do best—spreading love and hope. Never knew how much I missed people, especially the students and my colleagues. I also had the opportunity to connect with a few new people. Can’t wait to collaborate with them on upcoming projects. Y’all, I am so excited about where things are headed!

Side Note: Never allow others or bad moments in life to dim your light. Whenever you feel it going out, change your environment with haste. Do not stick around waiting for things or people to change. The longer you wait, the dimmer your light becomes. Keep it glowing!

Well, this is it for now. Praying you have a wonderful day!♥️

Love you,

PERSEVERE

Thanks to Senator Cory Booker’s post this morning, PERSEVERE is the word of the day!

No matter how many setbacks you have, keep trying. No matter how many times you have to restart, keep starting. Keep dreaming. Keep creating. Keep building. PERSEVERE! In time, everything you once dreamed will be your reality.

PERSEVERE!♥️

A Gem From March 31, 2019

Here’s a gem I intentionally left for myself.

Facebook Memory: March 31, 2019

I love how Facebook asks, “What’s on your mind?” Well…let me tell you. Lol

This morning I was reading last year’s journal entry (March 31, 2018). It began with a quote from Bishop T.D. Jakes. Basically, leave everything in God’s hands. He doesn’t need our help.☺️ Posting this for my Facebook memory for next year. Have to leave gems for my future self.

My theme for that year was “Clarity in 2019,” and it was definitely that. I learned, and am still learning, God always shows up and shows out when I leave things in His hands. Grateful.♥️

You Will Receive Beauty For Your Ashes

Hang in there! God’s got you.

To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

Isaiah 61:3 NKJV

This scripture reminds me of Commissioned’s song, “Cry On.” The song says—

When your burdens seem to weigh you down. Or the road—it seems too far to carry on. Just look to the hills, you will find your help whence cometh from the Lord, hold on. Even when you feel you can’t go on. (Even if you have to moan.) Let your soul cry out to the Lord.

Cry on. God understands your tears. He knows how much that you can bear. Your faintest cry He’ll hear. Cry on. When there’s nothing else to say. He’ll wipe all your tears away.
Lyrics: Genius.com

I have good news! Your tears won’t last. They’ll eventually dry up and be replaced with joy and laughter. You will receive beauty for all of your ashes.

Wishing you many blessings.♥️

Faithfulness And Gratitude Unlock Doors

Last year I shared the following quote:

Remain faithful and grateful and God will give you the desires of your heart.♥️

Shaun’s Daily Inspiration: March 28, 2023

I still believe this to be true. If we remain faithful to our purpose and calling, as well as practice gratitude, God will give us the desires of our hearts. He will unlock doors that only He can open. Doors that no man can close. Stay faithful to your assignment. Everything will happen in time.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
