Hi blog family!
Life is racing! Summer is over but it has been relaxing and at least I am completing goals! This week I witnessed a young person receiving a gift from a stranger, instead of saying thank you, he asked: "since there is extra, can I have this also?" RUDE!! if someone is helping you with rent, books, clothes, food or just lending you an ear so you could vent, BE GRATEFUL!! no one HAS to help you BUT you and your guardian! No one is responsible for you, so IF they reach out to help you not only do you NOT ask for more, but please SAY THANK YOU!! I CANNOT tell you how many times people have went out of their way to help a person in need, and they NEVER sent a thank you note or a phone call. Don't wonder why they don't help again, know this: EVERYONE wants to be appreciated!!! No awards, just appreciated, knowing that you cared that someone helped. Say thank you often and ask for less.

I wanted say to those who grew up without parents to always have GRATITUDE, you can never have if you don't appreciate what you have. At some point we have to take responsibility for our own actions. Now that you aged out, it is you, not a knight and shinning armor, that will rescue you, YOU are the HERO and the VILLIAN in your own destiny! What do I mean? We make choices to
be winners or dwellers, those are people that are just here, doing nothing with the talent and gifts God left them. Look above at the pictures, our ancestors died, enslaved, raped, beaten, tortured, mind control so that YOU could have a BETTER LIFE!!! Do you repay them by not rising to your greatness? Learn to step out of yourself and be grateful for anything you receive;; life, health, family, friends, friend, be grateful, it leads to other blessings! Don't hold other people hostage for your misery, take control of YOUR life Be grateful, humble and never ask for more when someone has reached into their pocket to help you, maybe they wanted to save the rest for someone else....xo
smile, God is watching you!
