From Pity to Praise

Think about this. You are having this because someone or something upset you and you are upset. Why are you suffering for something someone else did to you. No one is going to live your life for you, you have to do it yourself, whether you rich or poor, out of money or raking it in.The beneficiary or ridiculous fortune or terrible injustice. You have to do it no matter no matter what is true.

No matter what is hard, no matter what is unjust, sad, sucky things befell you. Self-Pity is a dead end. You make the choice to drive down that road. It is up to you to decide to stay parked there or to turn around and drive out.

You have a choice to let what you’re going through change you for better or worse. Choose to let it sharpen you, choose to get better. Not everybody will understand your changes, moves, or decisions but trust what’s in your heart and be willing to work until it manifests in your life, regardless of who gets it. Give yourself permission to appreciate how divine and necessary your presence is in this world. Shine your light intentionally and unapologetically.

When you Complain, you make yourself a victim. You have only 3 options leave the situation, change the situation, or accept it and live with it.

Positive thinking is very beneficial for our health, it gets rid of any paranoia and negative thoughts that can cause depression and stress. Positive thought de- stresses the mind and prevents stress hormones from being released thus damaging your physical and mental heath.

As you are shifting you will begin to realize you are not the same person you used to be. The things you used to tolerate have now become intolerable. Where you once remained quiet you are now speaking your truth. Where you once battled and argued you are now choosing to remain silent. You are beginning to understand the value of your voice and there are some situations that no longer deserve your time, energy and focus.

I have Remained calm through this pandemic. I should say I never reacted to it. I have remembered that our God is a refuge and our strength, Psalm 46; 1, States that he is a a very present in trouble. I did not go to the stores and panic buy as everyone else did. I have reached for information from different sources not the media. I do not let anyone turn me to fear over this. I have stayed close the the Lord through all of this. I pray Psalm 91 over me and my Family and Friends everyday. I know this too shall pass. Yes, I know it will be hard but, I have been through trials before., and I have come out stronger, wiser and happier. There is always someone more powerful than me watch out for myself, and my family and friends. I trust that something good will come out of this. We will be restored for a better purpose.

Your journey will be much lighter and easier if you don’t carry your past with you.
