Set goals, have a plan, establish a deadline, and live the life of your dreams! Why settle for someone else’s gold when you can create an empire all your own? Ladies, it is time that you use what you have (in your head) to get you to the life you desire! Here’s how:
Wouldn’t it be nice if everything you touched turned to gold? God has allowed for you to live an abundant life. An abundant life means that all areas of your life (health, spiritual fulfillment, finances, love, etc.) is overflowing. There is a way that you can proposer in all areas of your life:
Are you bold enough to air out your dirty laundry? Kelly Rowland recently released a song called “Dirty Laundry” where she airs out her former bittersweet feelings towards Beyonce’s success during a time when she was in an abusive relationship. The song is heart wrenching, and it takes the listener back to 90s RnB. As beautifully painful and gossip-worthy as the song is, you can’t help but think—“Could I ever be that transparent?”
Confidence is a state of feeling certain about the truth of something. Once you have confidence in something, you are bold enough to speak on it, act on it, and/or live it out. Therefore, in order to be bold, you have to find your truths.

Sometimes people see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear, project what they want—for reasons all their own. Sometimes it’s to make themselves feel better. Sometimes it’s because they feel uncomfortable, and other times it’s just for fun.
How do you view yourself when you’re face-to-face with a person whose self perception is inflated? When you’re around another person who thinks more of themselves, how do you respond to them? Does it make you angry or do you feed their ego? The way that you react to them says a lot about how you perceive yourself.

Years ago a male friend who was in a serious relationship and contemplating marriage, proposed to test his girlfriend’s love by seeing what she would do if approached by one of his friends. She had never given him any reason not to trust her, but he wanted to put her love to the test. Would she take the bait or shut him down? It was the dumbest/craziest thing I had ever heard of (at the time), and the two guys had it all planned out. Where he would meet her. His opening line. Topics of discussion. I asked questions about how he would handle possible repercussions of “the sting”. Like her taking the bait; the friend discovering he digs her; the fight that would ensue between two old friends; the end of their relationship. Her finding out; her hating him for doing it; her not being able to trust him anymore; the end of their relationship. “Who does that?”, I asked. “Love gets tested enough on its own merit. Is your test really worth it, and how would you feel if someone did that to you? Better yet, could you pass the test?”
The coolest people are the people who embrace their quirks. Let’s face it… we all have them! Why not just set yourself free by knowing who you are (the good, the bad, and the ugly). Being open about who you really are could open amazing new doors and allow your life to unfold.

We all have friends or family members or co-workers—or maybe it’s you—who are fly on a daily. It comes natural to them, whether going to work, a cook-out, wedding, shopping, bowling…they know exactly what to wear, how to wear it, and how to accessorize. And not necessarily to get attention. It’s just them. It’s how they are, from head to toe, with confidence. And we can just imagine them walking down a NY runway or Hollywood Red Carpet.
It’s time to get off the drama bus! It is an exhausting way to live. Not only is drama non-productive… it’s a cancer for everyone around it! Here are some steps to end the drama:
