One of the biggest mistake that we can make is to let our thoughts run without being checked. An exercise that I have found helpful is — when a random, out of the blue thought runs across my mind I ask myself if this is what I am truly feeling? And I try to figure out where that particular thought came from.As a person that comes from black heritage it scares me every time I hear or see something like what we have been seeing lately. I always think about my dad, my brother, my husband, son and all of my family members. To be honest, I get really scared because I don’t want that to happen to them. I think about that, I ponder what I should tell my son. But realistically, the only thing I can do is do the absolute best that I can do. I can’t worry myself to death about it. I have to take control of the thoughts that are running through my mind. I have to be the master of my mind. I have to find away to counter those negative thoughts when they come. I cant allow myself to become a prisoner of negative thoughts. So, an exercise that I do is as I said earlier, when its a thought that isn’t positive I try to trace it back to something. I try to figure out what made me think about this particular thing and once I identify I know that I need to maybe minimize the attention I am giving to that thing. I also have to say something, whether out loud or to myself to counter the negative thinking. What I refuse to do is allow bad thoughts to setup shop and invite its friends to the party. “You are not a helpless victim of your own thoughts, but rather a master of your mind.” Available via: Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Play, iHeart Radio, & Amazon AlexaMusic by: IksonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/Win-On-Purpose.

I look forward to connecting with you.Today podcast title is, “Perspective is Everything.” Now let’s break down what the word perspective means. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines perspective as a mental view or prospect (to anticipate). It also defines it as the capacity to view things in their true relation or relative importance. With regard to this podcast, I want to focus on the first definition which defines perspective as a mental view or prospect. Perspective is something unique to each individual, it is our individual mental view or mindset. Therefore, how we see the world is purely based on our thoughts and expectations. We see the world as good or bad based on what we anticipate happening. If you perceive the world as being a place where you can have what you want and your dreams can come true then that will happen for you. But on the flip side, if you are a negative person and believe that things will never happen for you then that is how your life will be. You will constantly have problems and issues. Author and Motivational speaker, Wayne W. Dyer was quoted as saying, “Loving people live in a loving world. Hostile people live in a hostile world. Same world.” Have you ever been around a negative person? I mean a real negative person that all they do is complain and find something wrong with everything. Those people are the ones that live under a raining cloud 24/7. Even their energy is off. No one wants to be around them because no one can bear the constant complaining. If you take them to your favorite restaurant they find a problem with the food they ordered or the decor is grim or the tables are cleaned to their standard. They make you questions a place that you once loved. They find a problem with everything. If you are smiling they gotta question what you are happy about? Again, Dyer said, Loving people live in a loving world. Hostile people live in a hostile world. Let me add to that negative people live in a problem filled world. But the truth is we all live in the same world. Our thoughts are what shape our perspective. That is why we have to take inventory of our thoughts and pay attention to messages that are running through our minds. We have to make sure what we are thinking lines up with what we want to see happen for us. Our thoughts determine our mood, how we present ourselves, our actions and so many other things. There are so many people living fake lives and portraying false perceptions of their reality because they have convinced themselves that their fake social media life is better than their real lives. There are people going into massive debt taking trips, buying clothes, shoes, houses, and cars that they cannot afford because they want to give the impression that they are doing better than they really are. People are competing with other people that aren’t even watching. In today’s society, everyone wants to be famous. People are measuring their worth based on how many followers, views, and likes that they get. But the truth is if you are not happy where you are, there is nothing you can post, share, or buy that will change that. Even if the million followers come you will still find a reason not to be happy. We must learn to be happy with our lives as it is today. That doesn’t mean we don’t aim for more or don’t try to be better. It just means we have to learn to be grateful and thankful for the good things that is happening for us. We also can’t get so caught up in thinking that other people's lives are better than ours that we put unwarranted stress on ourselves and our relationships trying to compete with people that probably not even paying attention. Why compete with people when you are not even getting paid. If I am going to put in all that work to compete with someone I need to get paid for it. We go online or wherever [you] get [your] information and we see celebrities, our family members and friends doing all of these seemingly amazing and cool things and we think our lives are so mundane and boring. So we start trying to think of things we can post that will get people’s attention. We try to figure out how we can get more likes. I sound like I know about this, right? I know I do because I have been there! And I have to check myself on a regular and remind myself of the reasons why I use social media. My goal is to motivate, encourage, and inspire people to go for their goals. I am also on there to keep in contact with people and have fun. Scientist and Philanthropist, Sir John Lubbock said, “What we see depends mainly on what we look for.” So, this is my disclaimer to all of the nosy people out there, if you want to go on my page and see things that get upset because of what you found, its because you went looking for it. Our perspective means everything, it is everything. We have to say positive things to ourselves to cancel and drown out negative thoughts. That’s why I love daily affirmations. Affirmations help us keep our perspectives in line with what we want to happen. When we focus our minds and attention on the things that we want — we will see opportunities during times when others see opposition. I am so grateful for Lewis Howard Latimer. You might be thinking, who on earth is that? Well, of course, I am going to tell you. Latimer was an African American inventor that contributed to the invention of the light bulb and the telephone. His invention is the reason light bulbs can last for as long as they do. Here was a guy that saw a problem and instead of letting the problem control his actions he saw an opportunity to literally make the [world] a better place. I’m sure everyone has at least one light bulb in their house and we have Lewis Howard Latimer to thank for that. So the next time you looking for the perfect light to take your selfie on your cellphone give a quick shoutout to Latimer. When we say daily affirmations we remind ourselves and also reaffirm to the universe the things that we desire. Every living thing has to be feed. We have to feed our bodies, our mind, even nature needs food. The same is goes for our dreams. We have to feed our dreams daily. Affirmations is a perfect way to do just that. If you are having a down moment and not feeling inspired. Take a moment to think about what you have been thinking about... let me say that again.... when you are having a hard time or you are feeling depressed and down take a moment to think about what you are thinking about. Author, Dan Brown says, “Sometimes a change of perspective is all it takes to see the light.” I find myself doing that a lot now. It really helps me when I start feeling anxious or start having negative thoughts. My therapist introduced this method to me. She had me put a rubber band around my wrist and told me not to take it off. Anytime a bad or negative thought came to mind I had to snap the rubber band. I must be honest, that first day I was snapping that rubber band constantly. I slept in it, showered in it until it broke. That experiment opened my eyes to just how horrible my thoughts were. I had to come to grips with the fact that I had some work to do and that work started with which thoughts I wanted to feed and nurture. That exercise showed me that in order for me to be a better person for me and the people that I love, I need to change my perspective by first changing the way I was thinking. I had to remind myself of my goals and dreams. My challenge to you is to check your thoughts. Make sure your thoughts line up with what you want. Make sure we are not giving more power to our past and negativity.The only thing negative thinking does for us is give us a negative perspective on life and when we think that way we miss precious opportunities because we aren’t even looking for them. We run away good people because we think everybody is trying to take advantage us or trying to take something from us. We walk around with this rainy cloud over our heads 24/7 because we allow bad thoughts to control our lives. The only one that can control that is you! We are the only ones that can control our thoughts. That has nothing to do with society or the systems that were designed for some people to win and some people to lose. The only people responsible for our thoughts is us. Period! Poet and Playwriter, Oscar Wilde was quoted as saying, “The optimist sees the donut, the pessimist sees the hole.” Let me be clear, this is not a one time process. Controlling our thoughts is an ongoing process. It’s something we have to do every day of our lives. Even when you are on vacation. Even when it's your birthday. We must at all times keep our thoughts in check. We have to treat our thoughts, perspective, and especially our time like we would a million dollars. You wouldn’t give your money to just anyone. Or at least I hope you wouldn’t. You wouldn’t give that money to someone that would waste it. So why would you give your mental capital to people that don’t appreciate it and waste it? That’s why I have a love/hate relationship with social media. It can be very rewarding and educational if you are following the right people. But if you are following the wrong people it can be a huge waste of time and life. I couldn’t find the originator of this quote but it says, “Don’t waste your words on people that deserve your silence.”We gotta keep our thoughts and perspective in check. Also, we have to make sure we aren’t rushing ourselves. Slow down. Enjoy the journey. Don’t do things that’s outside of what you are absolutely comfortable doing to get where you want to be. Don’t step on people and use people. Because trust me you may get to where you are going, but you won’t be there for long or you will find yourself where you want to be, but you will be all by yourself. Comedian, Steven Wright says, “Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.” As I said in the last podcast, “Why Discover Why” we can’t worry about how much time we have left on earth. We can’t limit ourselves using outdated science that says, at 65 you are considered old and you won't have much time on earth. We can not limit ourselves to antiquated ideas that say, women can’t have kids after 40. Or these ideas that by 25 everyone should know what they want to do in life. We can't be in a rush to live. We have to use the time that we have on this earth to enjoy every single minute. But what we don’t have time for is negativity.Competing with people.We don’t have time for comparisons. We don’t have time for doubt and self-hate.We don’t have time to loathe in failure and disappointment.When we take time away from the negative things we will find that we have a lot of time to give towards our aspirations and dreams. Again, let's inventory our thoughts because that is the only way we are going to have a positive mental view or perspective. If you are thinking, “how can she say that, look what happened to Kobe Bryant, he died way too soon. He was only 41.” — I hear you! However, look at everything he accomplished in those 41 years of his life. Do you think he would have been able to do that if he allowed himself to stay stuck in a rut? — He talked about how he handled hard times. He relied on his faith and purpose. Kobe was quoted as saying, "I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure... We all have self-doubt. You don't deny it, but you also don't capitulate (surrender) to it. You embrace it." No one is exempt from having doubts, fears, and insecurities. But the difference between those and win and those that don’t are the winners choose not to give in to the negativity. We have to accept that those thoughts are there and deal with them each and every time they come. We can not give in to them. Music by: Steffanccino and miyagisama

Perspective is Everything

(Like, Share, & Subscribe)Follow me on Instagram​, Twitter, LinkedIn, & TikTok @iwinonpurposeToday podcast topic is, ”Why Discover Why?” I’ve learned that there are times when asking the question “Why” Can be more harmful than helpful, because its too big of a question to ask. There are some questions that we want answers to that we will never figure out in this lifetime. Attempting to find the answer to “Why” can sometimes hinder our progress more than it helps. We can get stuck in the “Why” zone and find ourselves in a stale and stagnant place. But there are times when answering that question is pertinent for our lives, destiny, and for moving forward. If there is something that keeps nagging at you or you have a dream that won’t die the key to getting started is figuring out “Why” you want to get started in the first place. Again, “Why Discover Why”. To be honest, I would love to tell each individual listening today why you should pursue your dreams and aim for your goals. I wish I could tell you what the first step or the second step should be to make your dreams come true. But, unfortunately, I can’t. But what I can do is advise each of you to spend time thinking about why you have the desires you have. Spend time figuring out the true “Why” behind your dreams. This is an important question because as you start on your journey and in all stages of your journey you will run into obstacles. You will face distractions from people and life in general. But the biggest obstacle you will face will be you. Yes, you heard right, our greatest challenges does not come from the outside, they come from the inside. Author and Preacher Joyce Meyers said, “All of our problems start in our minds.” But, when we make our “Why” greater and louder than our negative thoughts, fears, and anxiety we will soon see the things that we have been believing for come true for us. Because our “Why” will drown out the negativity. I understand that our doubts can be loud and very persistent, especially the negative ones. But if we want to reach our goals and not just always be goal setters, and if we want to catch our dreams and not always be dream chasers and if we want to live big and be examples and lifestyles giants we have to make our “Why” louder than anything else we are thinking and saying to ourselves. Its a must. I can tell you that you shouldn’t let your age, upbringing and whatever else that has been stopping you for so long continue to keep you from your destiny. Author and Motivational speaker Simon Sinek says, “Finding WHY is a process of discovery, not invention.” What that means is when we are trying to figure out why we feel strongly about something or want to do something; what we are really doing is bringing to the surface the desires that already exist inside of us. We don’t have to invent or create our why. Its a process of discovery. Discovery is recognizing something that already exists for the first time, we maybe seeing it for the first time, however, its something that has always been there. An invention is creating something totally new and its something that wasn’t previously there. For years people have allowed things such as, their age to stop them from pursuing their dreams. But what we don’t realize is we are able to live longer now because of modern medicine and technology. We are able to do so much more with a lot less because of social media. We can educate ourselves a lot quicker and be more thorough thanks to the internet. So, don’t let how old or young you are stop you from doing what you want to do. We should immediately cancel out any negativity that comes in the form of thoughts and people that try to discourage us. Actress and one of the coolest people on the planet Betty White said, I think it's your mental attitude. So many of us start dreading age in high school and that's a waste of a lovely life. 'Oh... I'm 30, oh, I'm 40, oh, 50.' Make the most of it. Make the most of it, I totally agree. Because with age comes wisdom and with youth relentless fearlessness. You know I always have to talk about my kid because he teaches me so much. So, theres a popular game I am sure you all have heard of it, its called Fortnite. Its a game that you can play with hundreds of people from around the world online via a gaming system. We recently allowed him to download it and play it because he did a good job in school and we felt he was a mature enough at this age to handle it. As with everything he gets I have to play it. I’m am a kid at heart. But he showed me the basics of how to play and I watched him play several times and I even helped him win a Battle Royale, which is when you are the last player standing after everyone else has been killed. So, watching him play I felt like he was so reckless. Just running around everywhere, out in the open, not making sure he had enough ammo and enough shields. He’s ignoring the chest that has all of this great stuff in there and Im like JJ, you need to get this, you need to be covert, hide behind that tree…. Mommy talk, basically. But, ooooh when it was my time. I lasted in that game all of 30 seconds before someone came and popped me and all we could do was laugh. I had the wisdom to help him win, but I didn’t have the fearlessness that he had to win myself. There are countless inventions, books, movies, plays, presidents, senators, CEO’s, athletes etc. that are lying dead in a graveyard because many people believed they were too old, too young, not educated enough, didn’t come from the right neighborhood or weren’t the right color or their past had too many blemishes on it for them to deserve a second chance. It’s sad. It is really sad the things that the world has missed out on because people talked themselves out of their dreams. No one is perfect, we all have made mistakes. Everyone has skeletons in their closet, but there’s absolutely no reason why we should not try. Even in your trying you are going to make mistakes. I have made too many to count in my lifetime. Some were preventable, some weren’t. But I was so happy when I saw the quote by artist Samantha Snyder was quoted as saying, mistakes are proof you are trying. Back in the day, I believed mistakes were a sign from God and the universe that this wasn’t for me or God that was teaching me some lesson. Or the universe was trying to tell me that I was going in the wrong direction. Sometimes that maybe the case. But now I know those mistakes were and are part of my destiny and part of my story and they are in the past. I can not change a single thing about it. I have to keep living and keep trying and understand that mistakes will happen when you try to do anything new. Author, Joe Abercrombie said, “I have learned all kinds of things from my many mistakes. The one thing I never learn is to stop making them.” We may feel like some mistakes are bigger than others. We think because we’ve had a rough past or a trying childhood that we can’t possibly do whats in our hearts. But what if what you learned while making your mistakes was so you could help someone else not go down that same road. Your mistakes may follow you for the rest of your life, but that doesn’t have to stop your destiny. That does not mean you don’t have purpose. And its even more important for you to discover your “Why” because you may have to be a little more creative with how you make your dream a reality. You may have to hear a couple more “No’s”. You may have to work a little bit harder to prove you are trustworthy. But what you should never do is give up. The universe is the architect, we are the builders. When the universe allows experiences (good or bad) to happen to us, it’s our job as builders of our personal destiny to build on our experiences, again (good, bad, whatever). I’m sure most of you have heard the saying, “you can either let it make you or break you.” We are the builders in our lives and many of us have been trying to be the creators and that is where the frustration, anxiety, stress, and depression comes from. There is only one Creator, the Most High God. Because we are trying to make things happen that we have no control over and we focus so much on the things we cannot control that we lose sight of the things that we can control and miss out on great opportunities. We miss out on beautiful experiences and moments. Then we become envious and jealous of those that understand where their focus should be and become successful because of it. Not realizing that if we do the same things, focus on what we can control, build from our life experiences, and live and enjoy every moment in our lives we to can be successful if not more successful and live our dreams too. Journalist, Dan Rather said, “If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all.”Napoleon Hill was quoted as saying, The way to develop decisiveness is to start right where you are, with the very next question you face. So, the very next question I want each of us to face is the “Why” question. Write down everything that comes to mind. Some of your “Why’s” may seem trivial and insignificant. Write them down anyway and as you continue with your discovery I promise there will be at least three that will stick out. Those will be the ones that you hold on to. Add them to your morning routine. Read them or say them out loud everyday. And if you working a job you hate, remind yourself of your “Why” before you cross the threshold of that place just so you realize that that place is not the end of your journey. —Here are today’s key takeaways:When we are searching for our why, we are seeking something that already exist, not something new. Make our why bigger than the negative thoughts. With age comes wisdom and youth brings relentless fearlessness. Age is not an excuse there are advantages to both. Here are the quotes from today’s “Why Discover Why” podcast:1. Joyce Meyers said, “All of our problems start in our minds.”2. Simon Sinek says, “Finding WHY is a process of discovery, not invention.”3. Betty White said, I think it's your mental attitude. So many of us start dreading age in high school and that's a waste of a lovely life. 'Oh... I'm 30, oh, I'm 40, oh, 50.' Make the most of it.4.

Why Discover Why ?

(Like, Share, & Subscribe)Follow me on Instagram​ @iwinonpurposeToday podcast topic is, ”Will You Leap?” We are entering a new year and coming to a close of another decade. We are about to be in the year 2020! Can you believe it? I thought we would have flying cars and be living in floating houses and apartments by now. If we haven’t learned anything by now one thing that we know for sure is that time waits for no one. Life keeps going whether we keep going or not. And as we embark on this new year and new decade, I want to leave you with this question to ponder, “Will You Leap?” That’s a loaded question, I know. There’s a Zen (Zen is a part of the Buddhist religion that emphasizes the practice of meditation and intuition) principle that says, “Leap and the net will appear.” As we move out of 2019, I want you to answer this question for your life and your destiny. “Will you Leap?” 2020, the upcoming year is a leap year. For those that may not know, leap years have an extra day in February, so instead of there being 28 days in February there are 29. Leap years occur every four years. So, I believe this question of “Will You Leap” is fitting considering. Here are some of the many questions we have to answer as we move into 2020. Will I step up this year?Will I do it (whatever it maybe for you) afraid?Will I do what you need to do to make my dream a reality?Will I let go of my past mistakes so I can finally step into my future?Will I take that leap of faith into the unknown and take some risk to get where you want to go?“Will You Leap”…. Leap and the net will appear is a statement of faith. It’s saying that we have to make the first move. We have to take the first step. We have to go even when we don’t see a clear path ahead of us…. But when we make that leap of faith, we say to to ourselves, to God, and the universe that we believe in us. We believe in our purpose more than what we can see. We believe enough in our dreams that we leap because we know that the net is there to catch us even if we can’t see it at the moment. More often than not, when we set out to do things outside of the norm the path seems unclear, bleak, scary, dark, fuzzy. We don’t really know how we are going to get from point A to point B. But those that succeed abide by the Zen principle which again says, Leap and the net will appear. Those that succeed abide by the Christian principle which says, Walk by faith and not by sight. Author and alternative medicine advocate, Deepak Chopra says, "The universe has no restrictions. You place restrictions on the universe with your expectations." We place restrictions on the universe…we place restrictions on the opportunities that come to us. We place restrictions on how far we go because of our expectations. What place restrictions by refusing to change and continue to allow toxic people to hang around and pollute our minds. Another serious question we have to ask ourselves is, what are we expecting to happen in 2020. Are you expecting it to be another year of the same ole same ole? Are you expecting to go to the same ole dead in job that has zero room for upward movement? Or are you expecting to get a job this year that you actually enjoy going to everyday. Are you expecting to stay unemployed or are you expecting this year to be the year that you get the job you want, making the money you want, doing the things that you love. Are you expecting to keep talking about what you want to do this year or are you going to actually step out and do it? Please hear me when I saw, I know that winning and taking chances come at a cost. I understand that things won’t be easy. I know that just because you are expecting to win and you are taking that leap of faith that doesn’t mean adversity will not come. Adversity will come. When you take that leap of faith it will seem as if hell opened up its doors and...

Victory Starts with Me

(Like, Share, & Subscribe)Follow me on Instagram​ @iwinonpurposeIt is so easy to get stuck in the comparison minefield. I call it a minefield because when we give a lot of time and attention to what other people are doing it make us lose our focus and causes us to get off our path and when we do that it leads to destruction. There is nothing wrong with admiring and applauding people for their successes. But when we start comparing our lives with other peoples lives it does nothing, but diminish, in our eyes, our progress and success. Whenever you are trying to achieve a goal, you want to sidestep as many distractions and as much negativity as possible. Because those things are readily available and we don’t need to add to the minefield.Available via: Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Play, & iHeart RadioMusic by: minor2go

Dream Killers Pt. 2

(Like, Share, & Subscribe)Today, quiet time and alone time has become non-existent. It’s like we are too afraid to sit in peace and quiet because we are afraid of what may come up. Past hurts that we’ve tried for years to ignore, past demons that we never dealt with. Actually having to deal with our insecurities and the areas that we fill we are lacking in, all of these things can be quite scary to face. So, our way of dealing with it is to keep ourselves preoccupied. We like to believe that being busy is synonymous with being productive. But I guarantee if we reevaluate our schedules we would find that there are several things that can be cut out that we wouldn’t even miss. Or if we miss them it would be a short term withdrawal.

But the real truth is, our decisions determine whether we win or lose. Our actions determine the outcome of every situation. The only battles we lose, are the ones we give up on and say this is not worth it, I’m tired, I can’t do this anymore. Sometimes we need a ​break. I will be the first to admit that. Sometimes we need to step back catch our breath look at the situation from the outside and come up with a better strategy. That’s the way to go, but the only thing quitting does is guarantee you a loss.Available via: Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Play, & iHeart RadioMusic by hbsamples & silencekills

Because if you do not, you will find yourself in a constant state of overthinking, confusion, and never being able to get over those roadblocks. I am a living witness that when get deliberate about obtaining a thing, or becoming better at something there is nothing that can stop you.

Be Intentional

Like & Share....Having an idea and a dream is great. But it has to move beyond being in your mind and it has to be acted it upon. I believe that one of God’s gifts to us is this amazing ability to dream and dream big and dream beyond where we are today. God has given all of us the ability to dream, to create, and to imagine endless possibilities. I know there are a lot of people that are afraid to dream because you do not want to be disappointed and you don’t want to hear the no’s or be ignored by people that you genuinely need help to get that idea off the ground. And maybe you are one of those people that stopped dreaming because you felt like you were never going to get that traction you needed and nothing seemed like it was ever going to happen for you.Blog Link: https://77n11.blogspot.com/2018/05/in-beginning.htmlMusic by: Silencekills & Leswagcakes

In The Beginning

If you are dating someone that does not support your vision and dreams and they think you are crazy for wanting to walk in your purpose that's a for sure sign they are NOT for you. Even if the idea seems a little far-fetched, it's their job to say I support you and mean it. With anything new, there will be a period of trial and error. We come up with outlandish ideas that are​ the mind of an entrepreneur; to dream beyond reality. But you know initially, the cell phone was a dumb idea. GPS’s were a stupid concept. Think about it, who sat around one day and said, "hey, lets put a voice in a box that gives people directions to anywhere?" Really? The list goes on, computers, cars, airplanes were all stupid ideas at first, but someone decided to try it anyway. Why shouldn’t you be afforded that chance?
