Happiness is a choice..It's a choice we all have.
But yet and still some people would rather let life problems and circumstances consume them and be unhappy. I know life can be hard sometimes but at the same time we have to have a mindset that things will get better. And stay focused on the good in our lives. Create the most happiness out of all life's happenings...good or bad. And be so determined to live your life in such a manner that no one or nothing can come between you and your happiness. Change your thinking...with every negative thought there's a positive one to replace it. Think of all the good things and people in your life...that's sure to bring a smile to your face and happy thoughts. Life is really not that bad...we just make it that way...Happiness is really being OK with what is. Learn to enjoy every minute of your life..where you're at...with what you got. Change your thinking and Change your life. Happiness is yours...Think It...Be It!!! Happy & Blessed ~~~MARI~~~

Don't let your circumstances or situations define you as a person
Don't let the words someone speak deter your dreams you have for yourself Keeping being THE BEST YOU every day!!! Keep thriving to reach your maximum level of potential no matter what or who get in your way Your are so capable of attaining whatever you want Its in you and you know it Don't give up on yourself or what's in your heart Dream The Big Dream and Pray The Big Prayers God Loves You and He sees all the good that's in you He wants the best for you so why wouldn't you want the best for yourself? The best is out there for you You just got to want it more than you fear it Keep moving forward...Be You..THE BEST YOU You see the yellow light flashing but instead of slowing down
You speed right past it, so you wont get stuck at the red light. That yellow light sometimes represent our lives.. Sometimes in life we need to take the time to be cautious, slow down and look both ways before proceeding forward. We get so busy trying to go our own way, with no direction when we should be waiting on God and following His direction. And if you stuck at that red light...thats your time to stop and listen. God is always telling us something we just have to be still long enough to hear Him. Life moves at such a fast pace that it seems to pass us by before we can really enjoy it. Slowing down is a conscious choice, and not always an easy one, but it leads to a greater appreciation for life and a greater level of happiness. Slow Down, Enjoy Life and Wait on God, cause He will take you to the place you to need to be, instead of where you want to go. Peace & Blessing ~~~~Mari~~~~ Just watched TD Jakes sermon called "3 Types of People In Your Life".
Everybody need to watch this...It will make you think. Got me thinking about some of the people that are in my life. I needed to hear that today...God Is Good. All week I've been trying to understand..where I stand with some people in my life..whether it be friends or relationships. This was confirmation for me today. Sometimes we have to step back and take a good look at the people in our lives and who should be on our team. I know personally I have gave some people in my life I too many chances to prove to me why I need them in my life. At this point I only need people in my life that need me in theirs and show it. Seeing the bigger picture is pretty important when it comes to those who are close to you. You need to be able to see them for what they really are because, whether you want to admit it or not, they're influencing you. Whether it be my emotions or actions. I know for me in order to stay on a positive mindset, I only need positive people on my team. Everybody won't be on your journey with you..some people you will have to leave behind...As TD Jakes says...Be Careful who you share your dreams with...Dream Killers..and sometimes called Haters.. If you have ppl in your life that's not inspiring you, uplifting you and encouraging you..then they really need to be in your life. Cause some of our so called friends really don't have our best interest at heart..Deep down they are just haters in disguise.Don't let them bring you down and make your life less than what it is...cause truly they are not happy with their own selves or their lives. Know who's on your team...weed thru all the fake friends and sometime fake family members. Just know who has your back in the bad times..and in the good times.Cherish your true family and friends and let them know how much you love them appreciate them. And let your haters be your motivators...I know I am!!! Still Smilin ~~MARI~~ You see, there were a few times when i thought i would lost my mind, but GOD "kept' me sane.
There were times when I thought I could no longer go on, But the LORD "kept" me moving. At times, I've wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me wrong, but the LORD "kept" my mouth shut. Sometimes, I think the money just isnt enough, but GOD has helped me to keep the lights on, the car payments paid, the mortgage paid, food in the refrigerator, clothes on my back When I thought I would fall, HE "kept" me up. When I thought I was weak, HE "kept" me strong. I could go on and on and on, but I'm sure you hear me! Im blessed to be "kept' I'm "kept" by the Love and Grace of God! Thankful to God Im a Kept Woman!!! You see the devil always tries to bring confusion when there is order. If good things are happening he wants to break it down. The devil thinks he has it all worked out, “But, God” says different. He Thought He Could Stop the Plan of God! so when the devil is telling you No...But God is sayin Yes..“BUT, GOD”! “BUT, GOD”!
Too bad you couldn't see what I See In Me But God saw the Best In Me You didn't think I was good enough But God Thinks I'm Better You didn't think I would make it But God has Made a Way You thought I would stay down But God lifted me up You didn't think I could be Happy But God has put a Smile on my face and Joy in heart So now you're wondering how Ive made it through it all can't be nothing or no one "But God" He can open doors that have been shut, he can close doors that no man can open! Nobody else can do that “But God" So no matter your situation, no matter your problems, no matter how bad it may be, “But God” can and will make it better! Keep Your Faith & Keep Smilin!!! Ain't it funny how you can look back on your life and reflect on certain relationships and just laugh about it now.
We have all had times in our lives when we thought we wouldn't make it with or without certain ppl in our lives...but look at US now.. Still Here..Still Making It!!! When I look back at some of the things I did in the name of Love...I get a real good laugh. Some of the stuff I did and put up with..SMDH...what was I thinking??? So glad I have come into my own, where my life is solely dependent on my maker and myself. Sometimes we give the power to be happy away to easily... and sometimes the ones we give it to is no more worthy of themselves. So how can they be worthy of YOU??? For me those have been lessons learned, even now when I think back I realize I honestly didn't love myself enough cause if I did I would have never put up with some of the situations that I did. But today is a different story.I LOVE ME..and I know what I want and I will not have it any other way. Call it what you want. But I call it...Worthy & Deserving!!! The days of just settling is gone...I'm a grown woman so I don't need a boy to a grown man's job. Just Sayin!!! I don't ask for much...How bout unconditional love, honesty,respect and a little support whether it be financially or emotionally, and last but not least mean what you say..either through your actions or your words. But to some men that's asking way too much.With women its different...we love hard and will go to hell and back for a man that we love. Even when He has done us wrong...we still there...trying to make it work. Don't understand men...I guess they don't understand us either..lol But If I tell you up front what I'm looking for in a man and if you can't handle the qualifications then...Lets just keep it on a friends only level...shouldn't we be friends first anyways???? Ladies we need to stop compromising on our list of qualifications on the kind of Man that we want, the Men are not compromising and neither should we.I know there's alot of good men out there waiting to be found.But in the meantime....Know your worth Ladies and you'll never settle for B.S. Remember we are God's gift to man and not the other way around. Real Talk....From Mari!!!! |
