Breaking Habits

Giving up is so easy, especially when you've never had anyone or developed any reason to help keep you motivated. Last year, during the beginning of my self-discovery, I did a few self-help exercises to figure out things about myself. Even though a lot of them were positive, I also had to address the negatives--one of them being the lack of discipline. I forget exactly how I got to that particular exercise but the thing was, I discovered that I have a problem with it. I have a problem with being consistent, persistent, and dedicated to things that are actually GOOD for me and to me. I noticed that my habits were always a stop and go situation and rarely did I ever complete a thing before moving on to something else. Like exercising, or eating right, reading my bible more, or any ole thing that I really wanted to set my mind to and execute, I'd start and then stop. Start and Stop. The cycle continued. I took a moment to write down where the root of this issue came from an

Can't Nobody Do It Like You

CAN'T NOBODY DO IT LIKE YOU So yesterday, I wrote a Facebook post that seemed to have resonated with a lot of people. Got a couple of shares. Check it out below.

Make your 30s count!

Hey guys, I'm back briefly. I've been pretty busy these last two weeks so I haven't had time to sit and write anything.

Now, I've been 30 for..1,2, carry the 5, subtract the......8 months now and I must say, i'm enjoying every ounce of it. It's crazy cause I've heard people dread turning 30 and I promised myself that I would not put myself through that kind of mental drainage when my time came. There's no point. What i've learned so far is: to be myself unapologetically. To quit worrying about what others may think or say about me. To live in my honest truth and to live my life to the fullest.
