Has there been a time in your life, when you can't stop thinking about something you've always wanted to do. If there is a constant pressing, something is being stirred up within you that you have to offer the world. Don't be afraid to walk by faith not by sight, when you have these pressing thoughts, it could very well be your season.  Write down your thoughts,  the difference between a doer and a dreamer is that the doer will write down the vision so they can have clarity. A dreamer keeps it inside, and thinks about it because they don't know where to start. It is written in Habakkuk 2:2 in the bible to write the vision, and make it plain, that he may run who reads it. That means you can move forward with clarity, and your vision can unfold. This is your season to fulfill your passion, start that business, write the book you want the world to read. All you have to do is start, and write it down.

We are all in this same game of life, trying to win. It's hard, because while trying to win we lose connection with people. We have so many platforms to keep us disconnected from one another, and that is causing all kinds of issues. We all need someone to call on, that person that you just want to share something great that happened in a day with, or someone you can laugh with about the little things in life.  Let's be honest, with everything going on in our world, we need a little lightheartedness. We are a busy people these days with no time to slow down. But we have to find the time to connect, to slow down, and as they say, "smell the roses!" What can you do to find that friend, that person? First, you can't be afraid of rejection, as I said, "we are all looking for that friend." We have many opportunities to connect, but out of fear of rejection, we won't make it happen. Today, I thought about how many people I've met in the past month, and it was a lot. I'm kind of a people person, so it's not that hard for me to strike up a conversation. 

The scene of the crime is your mind, thoughts are always showing up trying to steal your joy! Our minds can cause us to overthink everything. It's that inner reasoning and deliberation with oneself, and the world in which you live. Change your thinking, and you can change the outcome of your fight. If you don't have a handle on your thoughts, you become enslaved to the mind. We wage war from within, and if we don't change our thinking it defeats us. So, how can we change our thinking? First, get out of yourself, the flesh takes you down a dark downward spiral that makes it hard to get out of. Think about what is positive in your life, where do you go to find strength, peace and harmony? I'm not here to promote any type of religion, but I am a spiritual being who believes there is someone greater than me, or my thoughts, and I tap into that resource by reading the bible, being able to pray, and talk to God, believing He is someone who listens to me. I usually feel better after getting quiet, I find more clarity in what I am going through, and best part about it is that I didn't have to find someone to talk to about my thoughts. So be victorious in the battle, and win the war!

Do you ever find yourself looking at someone, and start to judge yourself, or compare yourself? It's okay sometimes, that means you are trying to be your best, and it is keeping you aware of how you are presenting yourself to the world, but why do we do that? We have been given our own unique looks, gifts, and intelligence to be used for whatever purpose we were placed on the earth to do. When you can be authentic, you give the world so much more beauty, and it allows you to be part of a beautiful tapestry. You should never want to be someone else because you don't know what they are going through behind what you can see. All that glitters isn't gold, and all that you see is not real. Makeup and clothes can make just about anyone look good, so please just show up as your authentic self to the world, because contrary to what you might believe, you are authentically, and uniquely beautiful, So, go show the world who you are, not who you're trying to mimic!!

You should never put off until tomorrow, what you can do today. You might get a phone call, and be tempted to ignore it, but what if the person on the other end has been struggling, or battling an addiction. What if they just need someone- You- to listen? Try to pause and consider what they might be going through. Step into their shoes, even for a moment. That call might be their cry for help, their last ounce of courage to reach out.  Your voice familiar- and steady- might be exactly what they need to hold on a little longer. People often carry heavy things in silence. Fear of rejection, judgement or shame keeps them from speaking up until they feel they are at the end of their struggle. They might not tell you they're drowning, but that doesn't mean they aren't. We all face challenges;  toxic relationship, workplace struggles, financial strain. Some  people hide it better than others. But if you can offer a little compassion, if you can walk someone through their darkness, you might just find healing for yourself too.

Have you ever been in a situation where you are looking everywhere to try and find what you want to do?  Are you happy where you are in life, or do you daydream about doing something else? Life was never designed to stand still, everything about life is movement. Even the life cycle is movement, and at each stage you are there long enough to learn so you can move to the next stage. When we become adults the cycle doesn't stop, we just become intellectual and try to control the cycles. If you are feeling discontentment where you are right now, maybe it is a time for change. If you look back over your life, you can see that every time you moved forward was because you learned the lesson you needed to move forward. Don't be hard on yourself, allow yourself to walk by faith, not by sight if you need to. I can't tell you what you should do, but I can suggest taking time to get quiet, and put yourself first, life may feel like it's long, but it really is short. You have a purpose in every season of your life, just like the life cycle is a movement so is your purpose in this life. Continue seeking, and you will find.

I remember the day I made the decision it was time to retire. I had poured everything  into my work, but it was becoming clear that my dedication was  no longer enough for the powers that be. Honestly, I had been contemplating for a while that I would retire when I turned 62, and as that milestone approached, the signs around me seemed to confirm that change was inevitable- one challenge after another was pushing me toward a new chapter. There were lots of thoughts that flooded my mind:  Had I prepared for this day, would I be okay, what would I do once I took the leap?  Looking back, I believe when certain thoughts repeatedly cross our minds they signal the beginning of a new season. 

We are always moving, either looking back or moving ahead. In this life we often find ourselves at crossroads, trying to make the right decisions as to where to go, or what to do. Many women in this season are living with the loss jobs for one reason or another, or for the more mature woman have been made uncomfortable in their positions, and possibly having to make the decision to retire. When having to make a decision at a crossroad, simply take time to be still, and quiet. Hear the voice within you, and don't second guess what you hear. If you follow what you sense within and don't share with everyone, I believe you will take the right road, and find your way into the next step in your future.
