Motivation Monday: Success

By Leave a Comment

“Success is not limited by your environment. It is based on your creativity and persistence.” -A.R. Bernard

Success is something that we all want, but most of us are not willing to put in the work. We face obstacles like doubt, lack of confidence, negativity from others, and also unrealistic expectations set by ourselves and others. In order for you to truly pursue your goals you must believe in yourself and the abilities given to you by God. Don’t measure your success or try to attain success by following expectations set by society, family, friends, media etc. Only you can determine how far you go. Be persistent, confident, and most importantly have faith that you will do what God has called you to do and do it well.

Motivation Monday: Overcoming Frustration

By Leave a Comment

Yesterday in church Pastor Bernard touched on many topics including the “Occupy Wall Street” protests. One thing that he mentioned that really struck a chord with me was the word FRUSTRATION. People become frustrated for two reasons

  1. Unresolved problems
  2. Unfulfilled needs

With proper communication, understanding of reality, and compromising parties the problems can be resolved and the needs may be fulfilled. Until all parties (or you alone if the problem is internal) can come to the table to really resolve the issues and meet the needs then just say the prayer of serenity.

“God grant me the SERENITY to accept things that I cannot change; the COURAGE to change the things I can; and the WISDOM to know the difference.”

Motivation Monday: Boundaries

By Leave a Comment

“Boundaries keep you free! They do not rob you of your freedom.”

Boundary-something that indicates a border or limit

Without boundaries we are subjected to almost anything. Boundaries were created as a form of protection. When boundries are crossed that is when a person deals with a lot conflict. Boundaries must be set to have productive relationships. Boundaries protect us physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, and spiritually.

We have to establish these boundaries at the beginning of relationhships so we won’t feel violated in certain situations. Boundaries are needed in all relationships, between friends, parent and child, teacher and student, boyfriend and girlfriend, husband and wife, beautician and customer and so forth.

Most people look at boundaries as a hindrance, but without them we are subjected to any and everything. We have to first know our limits in order to communicate them to others. If people are not willing to accept those boundaries, then that is a sign that your interaction with them should be limited if they are not willing to compromise and set limits for the relationship.

So what are you willing to accept? What limits will you set with the people you come in contact with on a daily basis? Will you even set boundaries or subject yourself to anything that comes your way?
