Peace, Happiness, Contentment..We all want that...but yet and still some of us put up with a lot of unnecessary drama and foolishness at the hands of other people..Do you honestly want to live your life like that? I doubt it.
It is important to know what you do not want in your life anymore and make changes accordingly. Sometimes we go through hard times and struggles so that we can finally realize what we do not want or need in our lives anymore. Then finally we can embrace what we do want. In order to have the life you want, we sometimes have to give up somethings and ppl in order to have it. Your happiness should be most important..Not to be comprised by circumstances or ppl...Sometimes in order to make changes in your life you have to change your way of thinking and your attitude toward the life you already have.Change is good as long as you are living in the present. Let go of the past and start living for today.This can be a hard thing to do...and it wont happen over nite and it may be times when you just wanna give up and keep living your life like you been living but remember there are times when a change of direction is for your own good and happiness. It takes alot of inner strength to change directions especially when you wanna to go the other way. But dont be afraid to take that leap of Faith. And put your trust in God. It will probably be the hardest thing you will have to do and it will hurt to distance yourself from ppl that you love. But God will get you through the pain.Just know God has something better for you. You know what you deserve in your life..so Live Like It. Dont let anyone take that away from you. Allow yourself to feel happy and at peace with your life how it is right now no matter whats going on in it. When we start wanting better..We do Better..and start Living Better. This is your life... live it to the fullest with the people THAT DESERVE to be in it!!! Peace & Blessings Mari We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come. - Joseph Campbell

My true Happiness is the best part of me..
It is no longer dependent of someone else. I own it!!! It is mines!!! I claim It!!! Not to be played with or comprised. I wasn't always a happy person. I didn't always understand what happiness was, so instead of being happy, I tried to chase happiness...But I never found it until I learned to love the life I already had and to except it for what it was..the good, the bad and sometimes the ugly...smh. Sometimes we just have to sit back and realize what we already have in our lives and truly be Happy for ourselves..I have learned to be content in whatever situation I find myself in. My true Happiness is my mindset and my thinking..every day is not perfect or with out situations or problems but I have learned to embrace whatever comes my way...cause I know that nothing can happen that God and I can't handle together...So with God on my side.. I can't be nothing but Happy. For me my true Happiness is a lot things...contentment, joy, peace, an appreciation for the many blessings that have come into my life and having confidence that everything will turn out just fine even when all seems to be falling apart. You have one life to live..so let yourself live in the moment and Be Happy..let go of the things and ppl in the past. They are over and done with. Choose to move forward. Everything is a blessing. Allow yourself to feel grateful for all of your blessings...This is your life at this moment. It is what it is...Except It...Appreciate It...Love It! I know I am!!! If there's something else that can compare to my true happiness please let me know...cause right now it can't get no better than this!!! Loving My Life and Being Happy Regardless!!! Struggling...A word some of us are so familiar with. We all struggle with something whether it be a relationship, finances, a messed up job or addictions. Its always something ...that's life.
I know life can be hard. And it can be an uphill battle but you have to be willing to fight hard everyday to get to the top of the mountain. We will all go through things in life, but the things we go through are the very circumstances that make us the person who knows how to overcome and emerge a better person. We must learn to LET GO and LET GOD. He is the answer to any problem you may have. Your mama can't help you, your daddy can't help you..Only God Can. No matter what you are going through God has a purpose and a plan for your life. You must Trust God from the bottom of your heart and don't try to figure out everything on your own...listen to God's voice in everything that you do, everywhere you go..He is the one that will keep you on track and moving forward. So quit struggling with life and give it to God..Trust Him. As for me I've been trying so hard to have more ups than downs. Even when I get discouraged..I have to remind myself God is in Control and that God is a Good God. I know the only way I can do anything is with God in my life..No second guessing that...He is the only way. My life is far from perfect but one thing I know for sure whatever I'm going through He is right there by my side and He will never leave me. God never requires us to handle more than we can bear but with every difficult situation He will provide a way for us to overcome. Never give up Hope and Never Give up on God Because He will make a way out of no way. Believe that!!! Peace & Blessings MARI As I sit here thinking about some of the things and situations that came upon me this past week..All I can do is give all Glory and Praise to God. Thanking Him for seeing me through and giving me Hope to get through it all.
Last week my Faith was at an all time low, seem like every time I turned around it was something coming my way. I felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders and I started to feel sorry for myself...and I started to doubt myself. But God stepped in and I could hear my Holy Spirit saying "You know you are better than this". Right then I realized I had let my self pity steal my Hope and my Faith. So I had to remind myself who was in control and His past works in my life speaks for itself. So why was i feeling sorry for myself...I had no reason to. I had to encourage myself and I was determined not to waste one more day in self pity. I had to tell myself... "I refuse to feel sorry for myself...God made me better than this". I know I may be in a difficult season in my life right now but I refuse to stop hoping for better things to come my way. The enemy wants us consumed with no Hope and will tell you all sorts of things about yourself, your life, other ppl, and God, If he thinks you will believe them and lose Hope..But the devil is a Liar! Just know whatever is going on in your life today God has thoughts and plans for your own good.You have two choices when you find yourself in difficult circumstances: You can give up or go on. As for me, God has brought me too far to give up. I will keep holding on to His promises and I know that every thing happens for a reason and what He has for me is for me and It will come to pass. If we hold on to our Hope and fight for it when the enemy tries to take it away, we will see great things take place in our lives..We have to believe that and keep fighting everyday. So as I think back on the past week every situation that I thought was hopeless...Wasn't...Because God was involved and had me in His hands all along. So remember whatever comes you way today or this week... "Believe Good Can and Will Happen. And as long as you have Hope you will not be able to give up or give in. Learn from yesterday, Live for Today and Hope for Tomorrow!!! Keep Your Hope Alive! Peace & Blessings Mari Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don’t. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy. They just promised it would be worth it. This is what life should be about..Living without regrets. We all should be living the best life we can but sometimes we let the past dominant our thinking and we hold on to things and ppl that we should of let go along time ago. But as we all know, we cannot change the past. The past is gone but we can change the present and our future. I've learned in order for me to live the life I wanted to live i couldn't dwell on the past. I had to let it go and start moving forward. Learn from and forgive yourself and others for past mistakes, past hurts and move on.Remember, nobody is perfect. Each of us makes mistakes, but we can learn from them and avoid repeating them. Don't let your past be a reminder of how your life should be today. Don't keep living your life in the past..with the what ifs ..Live in the moment..Today..Right now. The Best is yet to come..Believe it. Value the people in your life who matter and who have been there for you through thick and thin and love the ones unconditionally that treat you right and show it. Not everyone is granted a second chance at something. One thing is for certain that we don’t get a second chance at life. Be fortunate if you are presented a second chance with anything and don’t take it for granted. I know that I’ve taken some things for granted and I don’t like to admit it, but I also regret a few things in my life. But rather than sitting around thinking about past mistake and hurts and how things could of turned out I had to make changes in my life so that I could have the life I wanted and deserve...Lessons Learned 101..a great teacher :). As I see my life now, my past has made me into the woman that I am today. And that I don't regret. Blessed!!! Live for today. Yesterday was then. |
