Setbacks...

Setbacks...those pesty incidents that causes us to feel like we're further away from the goal or the mark than ever before...are really our gateway to experiencing the thing we were hoping for in a greater magnitude.  Setbacks are our setups for blessings!  I dare you to think a new thought by thinking instead of being setback, you've just been setup.  Because I live on and with purpose, I can't help but believe that there is a set time for everything that happens in my life.  I live in expectation and there are times when I expect things to happen because I've made strides and efforts towards their manifestations.  Sometimes, they don't happen when or as I expect them to.  In those times, it feels like I've experienced a setback.  However, the delay is not a denial and I am thoroughly convinced that when I am in the right place, at the right time, with the right one (if that's necessary) -- whatever is supposed to happen, will happen.  And when it happens, it will be what I expected and more!  Setbacks Setups are worth waiting for!

What Are You Telling Yourself?

So many people get caught in a web of negativity:  thinking, behavior, relationships, etc... because their negative thoughts produce negative behavior which attracts people that think and behave in the same manner.  The web of negativity starts with your thoughts.  The life you create whether negative or positive began with a thought.  The simple truth is we believe what we believe because we tell ourselves to.  The more we tell ourselves something, we increase it's credibility and it begins to manifest in our lives (both consciously and unconsciously).  So, this thought(s), not only becomes your truth but a fact.  There really is a simple solution to eliminating the web of negativity - CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS!  Tell yourself something different.  The more you say something, the more you believe it, the more you act on it, and the more you surround yourself with people that say, believe, and act the same.
