Reflecting on life; where I’m at, what I’m to be, how humbly honored I am to have people in my corner. Family isn't always blood!
I reflect about where I’ll be in 10 years, my kids 13 and 11 🙀 will they be good citizens and brought up to respect others and boundaries? Will they be a leader or a role model to someone else? I can only hope we are doing the best we can with raising them to be !
I reflect on my goals, my accomplishments, strengths and weaknesses. My setbacks and road blocks but then......no, STOP 🛑 it’s time to shift my focus! Life isn’t always about you, Brittany! 🙄
I reflect on what others struggle with, how others have a different story; A different path that our Lord and Savior created for them!
Financial struggles? Drug addiction? Unplanned pregnancy? Family loss?
There are so many other things for us to focus on with how our world is today!
We can RISE UP and come together as a UNITED NATION again, although I never really figured out when we were EVER 100% united...I mean Jesus was nailed to a friggin cross...that wasn’t very nice of Pontius Pilate, or the Romans!!
We have to change our mindset! Actions speak LOUDER than words, that’s a tough lesson that I still work on but getting there! So, how can we change our ways and it improve our way of life?
Your meal was paid for at the drive thru but you don’t have the money to keep it going for the next person? Pay it forward another way! Donate something to a local shelter, give that extra .89 rounded up from your purchase to the children’s miracle network!
You struggle to get your kids everything they want for their birthday/Christmas? Make memories not distractions! Make a game tradition that they will remember and pass on. (My mother used to give us each a scavenger hunt to find our presents with riddles to find the next gift and got to open one small present on Christmas Eve)
We can help each other RISE UP and come to learn to love ourselves and the people we are becoming and bringing up.
Perfect people aren’t REAL and REAL people are definitely not Perfect.
When we get to the source of it all, it’s all about Co-habitation!
All of our thoughts, actions, words, emotions, dreams....they are there for a purpose! Use them, but use them wisely! When you think negatively, you will be negative. Surround yourself with people that motivate you. If you want to be happy and think positively, but your friends are negative and don’t make your life value any greater, time to change it up!
Yes! we need to help and focus on each other, less selfish more selfless, but don’t completely leave yourself out of the equation or you’ll lose yourself.
Let’s RISE UP!
