Note from the Author
I’ve always freely given out wisdom that may help others grow in their own lives. This has traditionally been done verbally to family and friends. After starting my podcast “Ready To Talk”, it felt as though I should open to the world in every way I can. I’ve kept many journals, agenda books, and voice notes and 22 being my life path number, it is my duty as a Master Builder to share wisdom that I have collected throughout the years. This is just the beginning. Thank you to those that have shown continuous support.
Day One Today after months of telling myself, I went to church. Afterwards I went to Panera Bread where I met a gentleman name Mike. Mike was explaining to me that the ultimate truth is in the text. I’m thinking of reading the Bible going forward. This begins a new way of thinking for me. I decided to keep a journal of my thoughts, hopefully they can be shared later
I find myself dreaming a lot. I’ll wake up in the morning and lay in bed for hours letting my mind roam free with thoughts that seem unrealistic. Most of them seem consisting of an easy way out but never a plan to get out. Something must change in my mind in order for things to change.
I wasted a lot of time trying to help others. I give a lot of my mind in hopes that I can help those around me but my words do not seem to penetrate minds. They listen for the moment then return back to the problem without changes. I must let it all go. As much as I love many of those around me, their lack of growth holds me back. It’s time to let go.
Never stop a project you started to take on a new project. If the project cannot be worked on simultaneously, complete what you started first. I tend to be very helpful to others and I also have a bad habit of getting overly excited. That is something that I must correct fast.
Anger is something that I must control. Not in the since of yelling and such but mental anger. I will no longer feel anything towards things that I cannot change. Examples would be weather, a woman’s change of heart, others’ behavioral problems. I accept them for what they are and proceed with my life.
NEVER PANIC! Before being afraid and panicking, think every situation through. If you allow it, your intuition plays a great role here. Worst comes to worst, accept your faith. Your faith is your own.
Time, planning, execution! Planning ahead is a waste of time if nothing is executed. You can tell yourself how something will be done but that thought alone is not enough. Planning should be the thoughts more so before any execution.
Do not overthink ideas until they have been applied to real life. A lot of times, you may come up with great ideas but they remain nothing but mere thoughts. Get out of your mind. That’s a great idea.
Never completely pay for work until the job is completed. People tend to not work as hard once they receive their end of the deal. You pay once it’s done your way.
Just do it. When an idea is created in your mind, a lot of times the steps needed to accomplish this seem complicated or unrealistic. You cannot let the possibility of failure slow down the possibility of success. At times our thoughts complicate things more than they should.
Always finish what you started. Get in the habit of completing all tasks. With practice, tasks become less tedious. Even if the project you started was small, complete it. Leave nothing incomplete. Once that momentum starts, just keep up maintenance. Consistency is important!!!
Respect time! 20 minutes should not become 3 hours because of distraction. Being able to monitor your time properly is one of the way to avoid stressful moments. Only and only if there is nothing else scheduled should you invest more time without rescheduling.
Waiting to do something later is doing nothing right now. Many things are better done at a later time but are not impossible at the current time. Waiting for a better time is not only idle time but a better time might never come your way. Just do it.
Morality Code. Everyone must have their own. We should all have a standard that we should never go below. Whether in decision making or behavior. Your moral code is what allows you to sleep at night regardless of the outside perception. Everyone should stand for something.
NO! Rejection is perceived as a negative thing when more often than not, it is the right choice. Don’t allow guilt trips or internal conflicts stop you from making the right choice for you. Many times, we put ourselves in situations because of our fear of the word no. Know when to say no!
A later time might seem more convenient but there is no better time than now. You should not shun your current resources because of better resources that “might” come later. Do everything you can with everything you have before seeking any handouts.
Perception is the definition of you in other’s thoughts. Learn to properly define yourself to others through actions. Your words may set the tone but if they are not kept up with, they may hurt the perception others have of you.
Always feed the family. Food being the source of life should always be shared amongst family. This allows that none in your family become weak.
Always confirm your gut feeling before moving forward. This will avoid any issues that you originally predicted.
Think about your thoughts!! Many times you drift off into your thoughts almost as they are more real than reality. Sometimes you have to stop and think about why it’s going on. Understanding your thoughts will help you understand you.
Understand first. Many times we take on problems other than our own with a judgmental state of mind influenced by other things you hear. As humans we naturally judge but we should all take it a step further and understand what and who we are judging.
Never let yourself be down on a dream. Many times we start something an do not complete it because we imagine that our creation will not be accepted. Create for your own satisfaction.
Don’t change plans unless needed. New plans need to new problems. New problems can slow down the process more than necessary if unprepared.
Movement Stay active everyday. Movement is life. You cannot get ahead without moving. Move at your pace.
Finish the race In every aspect of competition, no matter how far ahead you are, always finish the race. Do not become complacent in your winnings. Run through the tape.
Clarity Clear your mind Clear your space Being able to have both will ease any project you decide to take. Clutter leads to wasted time.
Excitement Be patient in your excitement. Sometimes your excitement will make you take a step prematurely. Always make sure the task. At hand is complete before taking your next step.
Show up! This small detail alone will earn you the respect of others. Many give compliments and on frosting words but the ones that mean the most are the ones that show up!
Time Time goes by quickly if it is not used productively. Sticking to a plan through Will allow you to have better control. A week later can turn into a year later and by then the opportunity may have left.
Today marks the beginning of Q3. Stay focused, DO NOT be lazy. Big changes are coming. Keep control, stay productive. All that you planned, now is the time to execute.DO NOT sit on anything. Get it done!!
Patterns in your life are the things letting you know what your should and shouldn’t change. Look at issues internally.
Purpose – Why? Passion – Feeling behind why Energy – Health and Mind These 3 things are needed to fulfill any goal and enjoying the process.
Commit to it. Playing the fence will have you standing outside alone. Once you make a decision, follow through.
