Just Positive PassagesTraveling ThursdayThis world is too big to not explore. You could spend the rest of your life traveling and still not get to see everything this planet has to offer. That would be like the dream job to get paid to travel which I know some people that do. Traveling is just going from one place to another so based on your budget that could mean walking somewhere new, taking a quick road trip with a friend, flying out for the weekend for a quick getaway, or closing your eyes and traveling to your dream vacation spot in your mind...2021-04-0801 min
Just Positive PassagesWrite-it down WednesdayHave you ever wrote something down, forgot about it, then revisited what you wrote and it actually happened? That’s the power of writing it down. Writing something down increases your chances of it being reality by over fifty percent. That is huge. Start writing your dreams and goals down, look at them when you wake up and before you go to bed, take the right actions and watch what you wrote down become reality. It’s time to start writing.

Just Positive PassagesMassive action MondayTo get massive results you have to take massive action. It’s a principle not a respecter of person, so it doesn’t matter about your work background, race, ethnicity, color, age, or sexual orientation. It’s all a matter of going above the average and doing what it takes to succeed. Don’t just be taking action to be active. Take action with direction, knowing what you what to accomplish.

Just Positive PassagesSweat-equity SundaySomething you get handed freely or without any work or sweat-equity behind it, you will not value you it as much. My friend’s dad bought his son a brand-new pair of Jordan’s for school. On the first day the little boy came back home those pair of sneakers looked like they were worn for 8 months or more, just ridiculous. This teenager needed to learn a lesson, so his father decided that if my son wants something like some shoes, he’s going to have to work and buy his own. That young man now appreciates the shoes he wea...2021-03-2101 min
Just Positive PassagesSlight edge SaturdayOne of my favorite books I’ve ever read was the Slight Edge by Jeff Olsen. It talked about the little things that you do every day that seems so insignificant over a period of time will make the greatest difference in your life. I took this principle and ran with it. Being positive everyday might be insignificant but over a period of time it can influence the world. What are the little things that you are doing every day that seem insignificant? Remember over a period of time it will have a significance. This principle works both ways so...2021-03-2001 min

Just Positive PassagesTheatrical ThursdayTake about 15 minutes to do this exercise. Close your eyes and create a theatrical play on how you want your day to be or the rest of your life lived out. Envision all the colors, sounds, and things you’re going to accomplish. Grab a pin and pad if you want to capture it in writing. Be very descriptive in the production you create. Your mind is more powerful than reality because if you can believe it, you can achieve it. Visualize, materialize, utilize, and capitalize on this theatrical day.

Just Positive PassagesWho are you Wednesday?Who are you is a popular question that is asked. Do you know who you are and have you taken the time to find out who you really are? It is important to know your identity because your identity gives you purpose. Then purpose gives you direction on what you should be doing. Last, purposeful direction leads you into living out your destiny. If you don’t know who you are then you could possibly be dealing with identity issues, not knowing why you’re here, no purpose. No purpose meaning that any direction you take is okay not know...2021-03-1708 min

For me I don’t want to live life with any regrets. Yes, you have to be bold to take a chance and it is necessary to take a chance. Imagine where the world would be if no one ever took a chance. All the discoveries, inventions, ideas, anything dealing with creation would not exist. Life would be robotic and boring, waiting on someone’s orders.

There’s a famous saying, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know” that has some truth to it. The better quote is, “It’s not what you know, it’s what you know about who you know.” Your network equals your net-worth. We are six people away from being connected to 7 or 8 billion people on our planet. When you think about that you have to ask yourself if your connected with the right people in your life?

You might have outstanding intellect or know how to plan and direct, but doing something on a grand scale is going take more than one person.

Just Positive PassagesSolutions SundayWhen dealing with a difficult situation, the ability to solve the issue shows how valuable you are. Exercising different skill-sets like effective communication, critical thinking, leadership and so forth. This is what keeps you employed because if you weren’t solving a problem than you would not be needed, same with businesses. The greatest lesson I’ve learned is to never placed the problem on people. The problem is the problem and the people are there to solve the problem. For example, managing money in a relationship is the problem, not the man or the woman. Putting the blame on t...2021-01-2401 min

No one has become successful without giving up something. Make sure whatever you do is worth your time and energy. My favorite basketball player Kobe Bryant had the mentality of being the best ever in that sport. He was willing to work on his craft more than anyone during his era and through his performance's it showed. Be willing to work harder than anyone so you can be on to...2021-01-2301 min
Just Positive PassagesFigure-It-Out FridayAll of us can agree on what I’m about to say, “We don’t know everything.” Which is good and a little discouraging. Not knowing it all gives us an opportunity to explore, seek, pursue, show effort towards whatever we are trying to find. On the other side it can make us stagnate meaning getting stuck because of the fear of the unknown. There are several ways to figure things out and don’t be afraid because it is better to do something than do nothing at all. Use your creative mind to figure-it-out.

You can grow flowers or weed...” Your mental health is about the quality of your mindset. Your environment, who you hang around, what you see and listen too effects your mental state of being. To cultivate a healthy mind you need to pluck out the weeds meaning monitor, minimize, or cut off the outside influences that rub off on you and keep you down.

It is very important to take care of your whole being. Treating the body is actually a reward to healthiness and healing. There are several forms of therapy and are recommended either daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly depending on what’s needed. A massage relaxes the muscles, helping with blood flow, and a chemical release from the brain stimulating the mind. Pedicures and manicures keep your hands and feet in tack. Visiting and talking with a good therapist can help with depression, or how to cope with feelings, or behavior patterns. The point I’m trying to m...2020-10-2912 min
