BOUNCING BACK FROM SETBACK cheryl lacey donovan There is nothing worse than feeling like a failure. Some people simply cannot stomach the thought of being unable to live up to their own expectations or the expectations of others. One setback can sometimes send a sensitive person reeling for days, even years, and sink them into a deep depression. However, there is nothing more defeating than allowing yourself to stay stuck in the mindset of believing that a plan didn’t work out because you or your planning process was inherently flawed. When we circle the blame onto ourselves, again and again, it can take us years to recover from the abuse we are heaping onto our psyche. You are not worthless because a plan you attempted to put into action hasn’t succeeded yet. You are courageous for putting in the effort at all. Just because something didn’t work out taking one course of action, that doesn’t mean that you are doomed to fail eternally. It simply means that it is time to regroup and fall back on plan B. Or C. Or D. You could go through as many variations of your plan as many times as you need to. The important thing is that you never give up. You could go through the entire alphabet again and again until you figure out what works to make your dream a reality. If it means enough to you, then don’t stop believing that success is possible. This can be easier said than done. Bouncing back after a setback can seem impossible at first, but the first thing you need to do is to remember to breathe. If you panic, nothing good will come of it. Your best course of action is to approach the situation with a cool and level head, and although that may be hard to do at first, you are more than capable of it! Next, give yourself a little bit of time to regroup and process what has happened. Why did your plan fail? What was it that got in the way? How could those issues have been avoided? What could you do better in the future when making a more foolproof plan B? Finally, take some time to consider just what you have learned from the process of failing. Failure is not permanent. It is simply a stage that we go through during the evolution of a plan or an idea. Failure means that there are more complications than we anticipated, and we are learning more and more with every little mistake that we make. By the time we succeed, we are so steeled against setbacks that the next goal we attempt to accomplish may seem to come much easier to us because the setbacks are not so devastating. We can turn our setbacks into gems of truth and a will of steel, or we can let it defeat us. But nobody has ever mastered their destiny by giving up. To become a great achiever, you keep going until you have achieved your goal at all costs!

Love

A. J. .


These two Men of Faith has taken different paths to the same end goal, being a voice for the Lord. Jesse the Gospel and AJ Love share more than their love for the Lord, they share bloodlines, as they are cousins. As I mentioned before, the roads they’ve taken is as different as Times Square and rural Mississippi, but no less interesting. Alvin Love Jr, age 33 was born in Plainfield NJ, but his family moved Bridgeport, Connecticut to give AJ a better place to grow up. He was an athlete there, playing football and lacrosse at Central High School. While not recruited to play sports in college, he did spend six years playing semi-pro football, and considers himself still in football shape if the opportunity to put on the pads presents itself. In the meantime, AJ has decided that the youth of NJ is more worthy of his leadership right now. Meanwhile, Jesse Pringle, aka “Jesse the Gospel,” 31, Newark born, Piscataway bred, was born to sing. Having been discovered by his teacher in 4th grade, Jesse was recruited to sing in a chorus at that time, for two years. During those two years, he had the opportunity to perform at amazing places like South Africa and London to name a couple of places. His talents later on landed him on shows like The Voice, on networks like BET, and in circles with people like Chyna and Jamie Foxx. He was on the fast track to R&B stardom when his heart and his spirit took him in a different direction. AJ path took a stop in Plainfield, New Jersey and the local YMCA. He began working with the youth, and really enjoyed the impact he was having there. He loves being a role model, so much so, that he even made certain changes to be a more positive role model. “I love being around kids and having a positive influence” Love says. “For example, I stopped using swear words around them, because they are like sponges, and will soak

Now AJ is surrounded by like-minded people, people who want to be Christian leaders, and help those who are looking God’s internal guidance. As for AJ’s cousin, Jesse says he’s been saved since birth, but as we tend to do from time to time, we wander away from home. Being on the road with his music, singing R&B, running in the circle that he was running in, just didn’t feel right to him. So he walked away from the promising R&B career and made the transition to gospel. The reason was simple, “I had a new message to give to people, and it wasn’t through R&B.” Ironically, Jesse too decided to sit outside his house one night to have a conversation with God. “All I wanted Him to do was show me a sign, any kind of sign that you’re here for me.” “Then all of a sudden, I looked up into the sky and saw a shooting star going pass the moon. I just dropped to my knees, and knew the Glory of God was upon me.” His singing gospel is his way of giving back. “For me, I’m singing about my experiences and how God has forgiven me.” “My thing is I can’t tell people how to handle things, if I’ve never experienced them myself.” Finally, he says, “I’m not perfect,” for


INSIDE POLITICS WITH

RICHARD

BRODY Whether one is a supporter, or opposes, President Donald J. Trump, everyone must agree, we have never, in recent memory, experienced, anyone, who has conducted himself, as he has! While he maintains the strong support of his core supporters and followers, largely because, they have bought - into his rhetorical, vision, and are motivated, and agree with his rhetoric, and vitriol, many others, feel considerably, uneasy,

because of the potential ramifications, of some of his actions, and words. Mr. Trump's closest supporters claim he focuses on broad strokes, rather than, getting involved in the details, and while, President's should not micro - manage, many believe, his lack of attention, to the details of leading a nation, are potentially dangerous, and frightening. This article will attempt to briefly review, consider, identify, and discuss, 5 cases and/ or instances.

Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/9885844

RAMIFICATIONS OF TRUMP'S ACTIONS: 5 CASES


1. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS/ RESPECT: Because this President, so often, appears to be changing his message, and relies, so heavily on rhetoric, vitriol, and name - calling, it appears, many are confused by his actions, and intentions! The world has, generally, sought calm, focused, consistent leaders, and Trump, to this point, has not generated that perception, and/ or image. Calling leaders by negative labels, and resorting to name calling, rarely garners the respect of others, or drives a cooperative spirit!

2. RACE/ ETHNIC RELATIONS Trump's reliance on ethnic generalities, especially towards Mexicans, Hispanics, and Muslims, has created distrust, suspicion, and a level of negativity, we haven't previously witnessed! While there are certainly many Americas, who, unfortunately, share his biases and prejudice, it is not, what many others, consider the American Way.

From his comments regarding his Wall, to the comments about the Mexican judge, to the descriptions, he's reportedly expressed, regarding certain African and Caribbean, poorer nations, we have never experienced this behavior, from someone in his position, in recent memory!

3. FREEDOMS CHALLENGED: Mr. Trump has spoken out, against the media, and press, especially those who've challenged him, in any way. His reference to Fake News, to anything which doesn't agree, challenges, our concept of freedom, of the press! He has challenged the rights of individuals to articulate any contrary or oppositional message, complaining when others, don't automatically applaud, and/ or disagree! Some may be entertained, or, even enjoy his rhetoric, and vitriol, but it does not drive our democracy, forward! Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/9885844

PAGE 15


4. BUDGETS/ DEFICITS Before he was elected, Mr. Trump claimed he could eliminate, both, current deficits, as well as cumulative ones! His support for a tax reform plan, which will add trillions to the deficit, as well as his recently proposed budget, pays no attention to these, while appearing oppositional to safety - net, items, which makes many fearful, and nervous.

5. ENVIRONMENTAL/ SUSTAINABILITY: While the rest of the world, appears, to realize the needs, and has begun to focus on environmental concerns, President Trump, has often articulated, a message of denial of Climate Change! Appointing Scott Pruitt, as the Secretary of D.E.P., has clearly indicated, he, either doesn't feel attention is needed, or doesn't care about protecting the sustainability of our planet, and protecting clean air, and water, as well as neglecting the future needs of generations!

Obviously, I am not a supporter of this President, but, for the common good, would hope, he achieved, for the best interests of the nation, and the planet! However, anyone who fails to consider and address ramifications, is not behaving in a responsible manner, which we need, and deserve! Richard has owned businesses, been a COO, CEO, Director of Development, consultant, professionally run events, consulted to thousands, conducted personal development seminars, and worked on political campaigns, for 4 decades. Rich has written three books and thousands of articles Website: http://plan2lead.net and LIKE the Facebook page for common sense politics: http://facebook.com/commonsense4all

RELATIONSHIPS

What does the 2018 "You" Look like? LEROY MCKENZIE JR. jnfenterprises@yahoo.com

Here we are at the start of 2018 and the beginning of an exciting New Year. I know many of you have put together your list of resolutions and goals that you want to achieve this year and made promises of being and doing better in 2018 than in 2017. Well, this article will hopefully give you some insights and motivation to not only have resolutions and goals but to go beyond and develop assignments and a mission that will develop you into a better man in 2018 then you were in 2017. To get you in the right position to be a better man in 2018 I am going to give you a few keys to look at in order to put a plan of action together that will ensure that you will be a better man in December 2018 then you were in December 2017. So, let’s begin with the question…..WHAT DOES THE 2018 YOU LOOK LIKE? I don’t just want you to answer this question with a quick and easy response, I want you to look at where you want to be in 2018 from these different perspectives: -Mentally -Physically -Relationally -Spiritually These perspectives will give you the thinking points from which you will become a better man. I cannot go into full detail about each of these perspectives in this article but what you should do is take time to think about each of these aspects of your life and develop a plan of action that focuses

on becoming better in each of them. Before you take on that task though, I want you to take on what I call the F.E.A.R. FACTOR MINDSET when it comes to approaching these ideals. You should have a FACING EVERY ASSIGNMENT RELENTLESSLY MINDSET. When you take on this mindset then you begin to approach everything that you do this year with an I am UNSTOPPABLE ATTITUDE!!!! Once you understand how to breakdown your assignments you can then begin to form a list of at least 10 assignments that you want to achieve this year. Using your 10 assignments you should begin to develop your plan of action for how you will complete and accomplish them. Being better men in 2018 is what I want for all of us. The time has come for us to hold each other accountable for being better, doing better and achieving better. This all starts from this day forward. There are no more excuses and we cannot accept any more excuses for not being where we are supposed to be. We must begin to move to the next level in our mentality, our physicality, relationships, and spirituality and the only way that this will happen is if we begin to do the work that is needed. I challenge you in 2018 to be on a mission to do the work!!!! I promise you that if you do the work you will not be the same man in December 2018 that you were in 2018. Let’s go because we are #ONAMISSION2018
