GOOD MORNING! 👋🏾

Do you struggle with confidence?
Do you recognize there's greater in you but you're to fearful to step out because you don't believe in yourself?

Let me give you a tip...

Today focus on your strengths instead of your weaknesses because building up your strengths will produce greater confidence.

Have a productive day and Happy Monday 💃🏽 💕

Good Morning Folks!

God's provisions stretch way beyond finances. He desires for us to be whole in all areas of our life.

Persistence + Consistency = Habit

💕💫

Want to succeed at everything you set out to do? You must first create a habit. To create a habit, you need to start with one small intention everyday. It doesn't have to be this grandiose action. It only requires you being persistent day in and day out. Set an intention, do it daily at the same time everyday. Visualize your success. Feel it in deep in your soul. Your body doesn't know the difference between reality and a vision you've created for yourself in your mind.

Once you've been consistent in your daily practice. Your mind will begin to subconsciously try to manifest it. Before you know it, you would have achieved what you've envisioned. So start small, start now, and keep going. One brick at time.

💕💫

Let me help you! Let's discover together how you can tap into that smile within your heart once again. I want you to wake up every morning being happy with who you are, whose you are, and where you are going.

Book a breakthrough session with me today!

"STUDENT OF LIFE"
Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can. There will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.

Life is about constantly taking any opportunity you can to inspire growth. When we are not growing, we are not advancing. We should all be on a mission to evolve into our best self. It doesn't require a lot of effort in every instance. Sometimes it simply requires you to change one small habit at a time.

If you have been feeling stuck lately, I challenge you to spend some quiet time with yourself and brainstorm how you can add 1 hour to your day where you are committed to learning something new.


What do you do daily to ensure that you are constantly positioning yourself to learn all you can, wherever you can, from whomever you can?

"MASSIVE IMPERFECT ACTION"

First off, let me confess I am so guilty of wanting things to be completely planned out before I execute it. I guess you could say that it is the perfectionist in me. However, what is true is that there is a level of fear in every intention of wanting to be a perfectionist. Not to mention a control factor. Unfortunately, we cannot control everything in our life. God is the master craftsman and only He knows our beginning from our end. Many times, we have to walk by faith and let life unfold for itself.

Why do I bring up this flaw in me? This is because I am sure many others can relate to discomfort that accompanies uncertainty. Let's be honest, the unknown is scary. Will I fail? Will I succeed? Will they like it? How will it make me look? These are all the feelings we go through when it's time to execute our dreams and aspirations.

What if I tell you perfectionism kills growth? What if I tell you it's crippling and it will keep you stagnate? So what do I say to that statement? Do it afraid! Better yet, activate the power of "Imperfect Action" and just do it. Now I am not saying do not take time to research and organize your thoughts. Make an initial plan of action and consider risks. What I am saying is don't get into the cycle of paralysis analysis. Don't get so stuck in your thoughts (planning) that you do not bring your vision to fruition.


What area of your life have you been stagnant in? What can you do today to activate your power of "Massive Imperfect Action" to manifest your dreams?

May God continue to guide and protect you this year. I pray for good health and prosperity in all areas of your life.

Happy New Year!!

Starting today, grab an empty jar. Each week, add a note that contains one good thing that happened.

On New Year's Eve, empty the jar and read about how amazing of a year you had. You may be surprised. 😉 💕 💫

www.DareToDreamAwake.com

What a wonderful season we are in. Yes this year has come with its fair share of troubles, this is without a doubt. However, it has also come with many blessings to be thankful for. During this season, let's choose to focus more on gratitude.

We have been able to ignite the fires within our hearts. We have had more opportunities to spend time with family. We are healthy and safe in the arms of our creator. Sometimes the best things in life are so simple.

As this year comes to a close, I want to send a special prayer over you and your family. May God continue to bless you. May He give you the wisdom, vision, direction, and clarity you need as you embark on 2021.

I want you to know I appreciate you and here's to another blessed and prosperous year. May all your dreams come true!

"Remember the reason for the season"

IT'S TIME!!!
Know YOUR story!
Write YOUR story!
Tell YOUR story!
~
Did you know that there are people out there waiting on you to tell your story? It is your story that they need to hear that will change the trajectory of their life. People are counting on you to show them that life can be done even with all their flaws, mistakes, and misguided direction at times in their journey. You are a testimony waiting to be witnessed by so many.

💕💫
GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY
It's time. It's time to tell your story. It's time for people to know that they too can have a happy ending. They too can grow and conquer life. They too can have the breakthrough they have been seeking for so long. It doesn't have to be a dream. Life can manifest for them too.

💕💫
THEY ARE WAITING ON YOU!
Habakkuk 2 says, "Write it down and make it plain so the herald may run with it". Start to put your story to a tablet so that you can tell the world and play a part in changing the lives of others.

"HEAR GOD'S VOICE"
In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight. I cannot stress the importance of knowing God's voice because once you can recognize His voice, you can follow His guidance. We must consult Him on every endeavor. We must listen to His voice in everything we do and not lean on our own understanding. This helps us to stay on track and in the vein of His will.
💕💫
Sometimes He downloads great vision in our hearts but if we listen even more closely, He follows with "not yet". God's timing is impeccable. When we listen to Him we not only get direction for our lives, we also get guidance on the perfect moment to execute. Timing is everything when it comes to impact and transformation in our lives. If we execute prematurely, that dream may not manifest in the way we were hoping it would. Not because it wasn't a great idea but because we were moving before God. We need pause and learn to wait on God.
💕💫

"BELIEVE IN YOURSELF"
The strongest factor for success is self-esteem: Believing you can do it, believing you deserve it and believing you will get it. One thing we need to clearly understand is that when we were brought into this world, we came with everything we need. God has already placed every gift inside of you to carryout what He has called you to do. Once we can trust this, we can begin to believe in what He has placed in us. Believing in yourself is so critical when you are trying to progress in anything in life. Once you know you can do it, nothing can stop you. The world will start to gravitate around you. Are you an atmosphere changer? Are you a change agent? Well let's get up and act like it. Get out there and start changing the atmosphere around you because you deserve everything that has been designed for you.

Let's go and be great today!!! Dare to be great! Dare to Dream Awake!

"NEVER LOSE HOPE"
Whatever you do, never lose hope. Tomorrow could be the very day you've been waiting for. Timing is everything. When your time has come nothing can stop you, not even you. In the meantime, just keep pushing, stay focused, and continue to build up your toolbox. Before you know it, preparation will intersect with the perfect opportunity and in that moment your day will have arrived.

"THIS JUST IN"
Your DREAMS are awaiting you on the other side of fear. Did you know that if you face your fears your life has no choice but to elevate? Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real. Most times it's all in our head. We are creating a scenario that may not even be the outcome. Just think about the times you did face your fears.
💕💫
Looking back, did you ever realize that you made the situation so much bigger than it actually was at the time? I know I have done this numerous times. The thing is, the longer you procrastinate and not go after your dreams, the more likely you will begin to increase your level of doubt in achieving them. When doubt increases, your ability to see yourself fulfilling your dreams become further and further away from you.
💕💫
Today, let's try something different. Let's go after what we desire for an outcome in our life. Let's pursue our dreams with tenacity. Let's not allow fear to set in. Come now, let's be GREAT!

Drop a 💕 if you are with me. We can go on this journey together, one brick at a time.

~HELLO NOVEMBER~
💕💫
Autumn leaves don't fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar. Fall is my favorite time of the year. It's a time to shed of the old and begin anew. When we drop the weight in our lives, we are able to soar like eagles.

💕💫
www.DareToDreamAwake.com

Be careful what you read.
Be careful what you see.
Be careful where your feet tread.
be careful what you listen to.
Be careful what you touch.
Be careful who your associates are
Be careful...
They either make you or mar you.
💕💫
Do you have a life filter? We use so many filters on our phones to enhance our photos. However, the most important filters are the ones we set for our life. It is so important that we understand the significance of filtering what comes into our eyes, mind, ears, and heart. We also need to be mindful of where we go and who we decide to surround ourselves with. The outcome of our life is a direct correlation to our inputs.
💕💫
Today I challenge you to take inventory. Begin to think about the answers to these areas in your life and ask yourself, "How does what I take in affect my life both positively and negatively". If you find that one of your inputs result in an output you are not happy with, change it. Now I am not saying this decision will come easy. I know for my life in particular, at times it is accompanied by some discomfort. However, making those adjustments help me to become a better version of myself. ..
RECAP: Your inputs determine your outputs.

💕💫

"KNOW YOUR WORTH"
Don't ever doubt your worth. Do not let someone else make you question your value. Self-worth comes from how you feel about yourself. You know who you are. You know what you have to offer. You know how you have impacted those around you. Everyone may not have the honor of receiving from you the greatest gift that is inside of you.

💕💫

Now, this doesn't mean that you are not worthy or valued. Take it from me, trying to determine your value based on what others think is dangerous. Please understand this, your value does not decrease based on how someone else feels about you. In order to win at this thing called life, it requires that you believe in yourself first. Know yourself first. Believe in yourself first. It doesn't matter where you have come from and even the mistakes you have made do not define you. There is a bright future ahead of you and it's waiting on you to break free.

💕💫

"DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY"
Happiness is the new rich. Inner peace is the new success. Health is the new wealth. Kindness is the new cool. I know for some it can be very hard to "not" worry at times. When you find your mind running out of control, take a moment to calm yourself enough so that you can process what's really going on instead of what you think may occur in the future. Worrying steals your joy and inhibits your happiness. It has a way of affecting your health and eventually impacting how you treat people. So today, choose joy!

💕💫

It seems like we have been compounded with things "to do" since going into quarantine. Does your day end and it still feels like you haven't accomplished anything? Maybe I can help. Have you tried these activities?
💕💫
Prayer and meditation are so key to starting your day off right. They have a way of resetting your mind and heart. We tend to want to check our phones, social media, and email as soon as we get up in the morning. However, that simple activity has a way of disrupting your day before it evens starts. You can become anxious and everything you had planned can change based on something you saw or read on your phone. Don't do that to yourself. Set yourself up for success. Realign yourself. Speak to God so that He can help guide your day, calm your spirit, and protect you from oncoming danger.

💕💫

Once you are built back up through prayer and meditation, get in some physical activity. This will get your blood pumping and your body ready to take on the day. Your heart is right, your body is right, and now you have a clear head to set your intentions for the day. Make sure you know what you need to accomplish for the day. Not just in your head but make sure it is written down with the time slot you need to get it done. Try your very best to get it done during that time as best you can.

💕💫

Before you leave the house or start your day, tell yourself how blessed you. Uplift yourself the way you would uplift your best friend or your child. Be nice to yourself. You are doing your best. Finally, GIVE THANKS for all the good in your life. There are so many things to be grateful for. I challenge you to pick at least 5 things to say each morning. The more you do it, the more things you will realize you can add to your list.

💕💫
Drop a 💕 and tell me how you start your day. What do you do get set yourself up for success? Side note, did you make your bed?

"WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE"
Life is an echo. What you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap. What you give you get. What you say matters. How you speak to yourself truly does dictate the outcome of your life. You should be focused on telling yourself positive statements.
💕💫
You know by simply changing the language around what you say, it can drastically change your outlook and even the outcome of the entire situation. No it didn't make it disappear but it helps to visualize the situation in a new light.
💕💫
Let's do better at loving ourselves to know we are worth everything coming to us.

"TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND"
Today I pray for those that need a turn around in their job, relationships, health, or finances. Know that God can make all things new again. Today I want you to believe that ALL things are possible. If you can believe it, it can happen for you. Please know that what is yours, is YOURS.
💕💫
NO that opportunity has not passed by.
NO your dreams are not expired.
NO you will not be in debt forever.
💕💫
It is Gods desire for you to prosper in ALL areas of your life. He wants the best for you and so do I. I come in agreement with you and release a turn around in your life TODAY!
💕💫
Do you believe it too?
Dare To Dream Awake

Inspire - Dream - Be Encouraged
💕💫
Inspiration can come from a myriad of places. Allow your environment to speak to you and through you. You are such a special individual. God has designed you for a specific purpose. Only you can carryout what He has created you in you. Your dreams are not there by happenstance. They are part of who you are destined to be. Do not ignore the beating in your heart to move forward in the direction of your dreams. It is NOT too late.

PAUSE - Say it out loud, "It is NOT too late for me to manifest my dreams". My dreams are mine to possess".
💕💫
I want to encourage you today to love who you are. No matter how different you may think you are. It is your difference from others that make you who you are. It is the exact difference that will catapult you into your future and help you carryout your dreams. Don't be afraid to be different, think different, move different. It is how you were designed to be - DIFFERENT. You are a peculiar people, a royal priesthood, God’s special possession. The world needs you exactly the way you are.
💕💫

"CONFRONT YOUR FEARS"
Being brave isn't the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it. In life we are presented with opportunities to grow. Unfortunately, the thought of growth can sometimes scare us from moving forward.
💕💫
In those times we have to get out of our own way and press forward. We cannot rely on our feelings to stop us from what God has called us to do and be. Believe me, I know it's hard. It's scary. You may even doubt yourself at times. However, in those times we have to trust God and believe He has a plan for us. Even if you are scared, "Do it Afraid". You will thank yourself later.
💕💫

~HELLO OCTOBER~

"FIND JOY IN THE JOURNEY"
I know. It's not always easy to find the silver lining when it seems like the world around you is crashing down. Our minds tend to go on a downward spiral wondering what could go wrong next. It can feel like we just can't catch a break. I get it.

However, if I could encourage you to take a moment and try to relax. Begin by controlling your breathing. If you have to, place one hand on your belly and one on your chest and inhale slowly then exhale. After you have done that 3-10 times, take a moment and really reflect on all the things that are going well in your life. You can start by appreciating those breaths you just took. After that think about the fact that your body parts are working. What is my point? There is so much to be thankful for. Once you have begun this exercise, grab a piece of paper and continue writing all the blessings in your life.

Happiness is an emotion that happens in a moment based off of a circumstance. Now JOY on the other hand comes from within. It's a place of being. Today let's take a moment to dig deep and really appreciate who we are and where we are because even in this moment, we are exceedingly blessed.

""ADJUST YOUR SAILS"
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. Life has a way of disrupting your flow. Moments in life can throw blows at you that you didn't see coming. Many times they are situations out of our control, yet it still affects us nonetheless. In these times we have to take the time to digest the moment, reflect on the moment, and then begin the restoration process.
***
True inner healing and restoration can only come from God. In those times, He begins to give you insight that realigns you with your assignment and guidance on how to adjust your sails. Anytime He continues to so softly rap at your door and you don't listen, He will knock a little harder to get your attention. If we still don't comply, He will do the one thing only a loving father would do. He places a "rough wind" in your life to get your focus and attention back on Him and what He has called you to do.
***
So what am I saying, the rough winds that come in your life are not always a bad thing, nor are they always from the "enemy". Sometimes these rough winds are there to realign you with what you have been called to do. Simply embrace the rough winds that accompany the storm and allow Him to adjust your sails. All of it is meant to help you and guide you towards who you have been called to be and to those you've been called to impact.
***
