North on South Street

Hey Loves! Spring is upon us. It's a new season. With new seasons come growth and with growth comes change. If something isn't growing, it's dying. Growth is not always an easy thing, but it is always the best thing. The final destination in our journeys are very rarely a straight path. 

 

There are unexpected curves, peaks and valley's and time in the desert. Sometimes the journey takes us in strange directions and no map can guide you because there are some places we arrive at only by the grace of God. The lesson is usually in the journey and what you learn along the way. Experience is a great teacher, especially when you are a willing student.

Be Thankful

Being kind is a trait that changes lives and being thoughtful and genuine are characteristics that all of us should strive for. There is always someone to be kind to, and situations that require us to be thoughtful and genuine to others even if they are not that way to us.  Despite what our circumstances are, there is always something to be thankful for.

You were born to stand out

It is a tragic thing when we reject our individuality to fit in with the crowd . We are conditioned from the time we are children to believe that we have to be just like everyone else, but no one destined for greatness ever fits in. 

 

Let me say that again, No one destined for GREATNESS ever fits in. I have always been one to color outside of the lines, or zig when everyone else zagged, and not everyone appreciates different, but different is what I bring to the table. Embracing your uniqueness is a liberating thing.

Being true to yourself when everyone wants you to exist in a box is not always easy, but stay true to who you are even if you are misunderstood. Don't be afraid of being different, be afraid of being like everyone else. Leave mediocrity to the masses and embrace  your identity and your call for excellence. After all, Dr. Seuss says: Why fit in when you were born to stand out?

Action Speaks

Words are beautiful and they have power.  I have learned through life experience to pay close attention to if a persons actions line up with their words. Here is a little secret beween me and you...

A person can either speak positive words with negative actions, speak positive words and secretly have negative feelings in their heart towards you or both at the same time.

That's ice cold. Brrrrrrrrrrr

 

 It's not the sugar in someones words, but the razor blade underneath what they are saying. The words, deeds and actions should consistently line up. If they don't, you have a classic case of deception on your hands. If you want to know a persons heart towards you, just watch and their actions will tell on them. The key to dealing with this type of challenge is to rise above it and continue to walk in love and kindness.

 

The greatest book ever written says this:  The words of their mouth were smoother than butter, but WAR was in their heart: their words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords-Psalm 55:21

This is a great illustration of the fact that everyone around you is not necessarily for you.

Despite what might be around you, reflect love and light because your love and light is contagious. I hope they catch it:-)
