GOLDEN

Hey, positive people! How's it going? Hope you've been having a fantastic week! Only one more day until the weekend begins so no matter how rough your week may have been up until this point, I know you gotta' be happy about that! My week has been pretty good but I'm always happier the closer it gets to when I can officially say "TGIF!" :)

This post is going to be short & sweet. It was inspired by one of my favorite songs: "Golden" by Jill Scott.  Everytime I hear it, I get motivated and inspired to live life to the fullest!  It reminds me that no matter what anyone says or thinks about me or my life, I'm going to live my life like it's golden because IT REALLY IS! You've only got one life to live, one mind, one body, and one time to get it right. Everybody makes mistakes - that's normal and expected, but my advice is to live each day like it's your last, making the best decisions you can in order to live a positive, happy, healthy life!

LIVE YOUR LIFE LIKE IT'S GOLDEN!

What God Has For Me, It Is For Me!

Hey, positive ones. I gotta' admit, as I write this I'm a little sad. No need to go into my personal drama and don't worry, I'll be fine, but have you ever been in a situation where you the plans you had in mind for your life were suddenly flipped and now you don't know where you stand? That's kinda' how I'm feeling now. Now as a positive person who believes and trusts in God, I know that no matter what happens, at the end of the day, I'm going to be alright, but I'd be lying if I said it doesn't get hard sometimes. Those are the times that I try to remember that saying, "What God has for me, it is for me." Even though I'm usually the encourager, sometimes I need encouragement, too, and that saying helps me out a lot. So that's what I'm saying to you today, too: "What God has for you, it is for you!"

There's never a need to worry, just have faith and trust in the Lord knowing that if you allow Him, He will direct your path. Sometimes we need a reminder that it truly is all in God's plan - everything that we're going through, all the trials and tribulations, the pain & heartache, and even the good times - they're all necessary in making us into the people that we were born to be. You see, I may be grown, but I haven't stopped growing. I once heard someone say that if you're the exact same person today as you were a year ago, that's a problem, and I believe that to be true. Each year we should be coming away with a new perspective on life and where we stand in it. Not trying to get too deep here but the blog is called "Mind & Soul", right? :) I'll end on this note, know that whatever you're going through, God is right there, ready & willing to guide you through it. He knows what's on the other the side. He has a plan for your life that no man can interfere with. WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU, IT IS FOR YOU!
