Consistency

I started my first blog Empowered Peace in 2010. When I started this blog I naturally became a part of the blogging world. My first blog entry was on 7/7/2010 and the last (possibly not final), was 1/2/20/12.

I stopped posting because life happened and I allowed the events going on around me to redirect my thinking, behavior and direction. It's quite unfortunate because had I stayed consistent Empowered Peace could of evolved into a talk show or numerous other forms of expression.

When I began blogging it was new and exciting. People such and Kandee Johnson, Scary Mommy, Wanna Be Balanced Mom and SITS were just getting started or in their infancy stages of development.  All of these bloggers have been consistent and now enjoy an immense amount of success. They have gone on to do television shows, do sold out events, establish themselves as millionaires and do many other great demonstrations of consistency.

I'm positive they had obstacles, life and many other hurdles that success brings try to distract them from their paths, yet they managed to stay consistent.

As I  have pondered events that have taken place I discovered a precious relic called consistency. I believe that had I stayed consistent and continued doing what I started I would be enjoying many of the same successes of the bloggers I mentioned above.

So here I am starting new endeavors and consistency is willing to lead me along her diligent path. Her way isn't easy, it doesn't have short cuts and it certainly isn't for the timid. Her rewards are great and concerted effort of will power and right responses to her invitations are what she requires.

Consistency certainly requires a lot, probably more than I realize, even at this critical hour. Yet I am willing to do as much as I understand and let consistency explains the steps along the way.

Unlearning

I thought I knew how, but apparently I didn't.

I'm learning a new flow and unlearning what I thought I understood.

Sometimes what I'm learning and what I'm unlearning collide and I find myself manifesting that confused state of mind.

But...how glorious it is when I manifest the light of the new way. The small rays of light encourage me to continue through the darkness.

This is only one thing, how many others do I need to unlearn....

Chains

I gotta get these chains off my mind so I can climb.  I gotta get these chains off my mind so I can grind. I gotta get these chains off my mind it's just a matter of time, till I get these chains off my mind.

Time

I'm becoming more aware of the output of the input of my time.  This awareness of the power of my intentional activity magnifies my moments of wasted opportunities.

I pay closer attention to my lingering thoughts and some of them are becoming areas of potential that simply need development.

My thoughts are calling me. All I have to do is utilize my TIME for greater manifestations.

easier said than done, but certainly not impossible...

Beauty

Is beauty only skin deep?  Yes, every layer that lies beneath the epidermal layer makes it beautiful or not so beautiful.

The same with our lives, each layer that lays beneath appearances eventually shows. 2018 has been making sure every layer is just as beautiful as the next. It started off easy and all I really expected to do was outer beauty treatments to make my outer appearance more beautiful... however...

I'm finding that my beauty is very deep and the deeper the layer the more challenging the beautification needed to make it shine.

There is an authenticity inherent in beauty and I pray for the strength of character necessary to make my beauty a lifestyle.

Processed Person

Me!
I didn't know I was a processed person until I knew that I liked myself. All of a sudden I didn't find it necessary to adapt another person's opinion of me to be alright.

An analogy: Food processing combines raw food ingredients to produce marketable food products that can be easily prepared and served by the consumer.

That's what I was doing to myself, making myself "easy" for others consumption. That compromised my best self and diluted my genuine contribution.

I can't say that I'm completely reformed, but at least I recognize I am alright just as I am becoming!

Yes!

Vanity

I could never eat spaghetti without cheese until I decided avoiding dairy products would help preserve a more youthful appearance.
