Month: August 2026

When people don’t know you, they make assumptions that have absolutely nothing to do with who you are. But it has no effect on you. 

Live life freely, and don’t be afraid to cut off what no longer fits.  Don’t allow others to label you. People are multifaceted and can’t be “put” into boxes.  Yet, there are many people living their lives trapped inside boxes, being inside one’s own head.

There are myriads of circumstances, excuses, explanations and reasons. But sometimes it’s simply due to mismanagement of the things in life that one actually has control over: “self”.

Self-control is about much more than keeping your attitude in check during conflict. It is the management of every aspect of your life that is yours to manage.

Whatever you didn’t get right yesterday, if you are reading this message today, you have another opportunity to move forward in whatever area of your life you need to move forward in.

Life is not easy, and everything is not about finances. People deal with a lot every single day. Regardless of who we are, human beings require the same basic necessities to live, and we all experience emotions.

Walk past and through hate by loving yourself.  Those who love you will show you, and those who don’t will show you as well.  Don’t get caught up in the opinions of others. Know and validate thyself according to what you believe and know to be just and true.  

Life is too precious to not live it to your best and fullest capacity.  Because what you can do today is not always an automatic option for tomorrow.  When you have done all that you know to do, God does the rest.

These are my random morning thoughts and opinions, based on the things that have brought me peace over the years in the midst of all things “my life”.

Life is a beautiful thing, and once it is gone, it is no more. The memories of a life that has passed will only last as long as the person holding those memories lives.

There are so many evil things going on in this world every day. We cannot ignore what is happening around us or the dangers that can come with merely being alive, especially for those of us with pigment in our skin.

But the evils of this world cannot consume us, and we cannot allow them to steal the joy from our lives. Sometimes we have to block the noise because the noise can become heavy like weights, and sometimes it is not even our weight to carry.

How can you walk in fear when you are doing the things that you know and believe to be right in the sight of the one God who has and is called by many names?

Why burden your mind with the things in life that you cannot control, especially when so many people don’t control the one thing they can: self?

Love is the answer to many things in this life. But how can we truly give love if we do not love ourselves? Unfortunately, for some, loving themselves is difficult because they have never experienced the essence of Agape and Philia love.

Know Thyself. Love Thyself. Believe in Thyself. And Love those who love you. 

Live right according to what you know and believe to be true. Protect your peace and stop walking in fear.

Life is happening right now. Not when the world becomes less dangerous. Not when everybody understands you. Not when people finally act the way you think they should. Not when all of the noise stops. So Live, Love & Laugh daily!
