Fall In Love With Your Life

April 4, 2016 · In: Motherhood

Last week I was browsing Facebook and I ran across an old classmate whom I hadn’t seen in a very long time. She looked amazing. She was still the same as the last time I saw her. I saw pictures of exotic getaways, a beautiful home, and gorgeous girlfriends. She looked happy. I thought to myself, now this is how you fall in love with your life.

I surprisingly begin to feel some type of way. I thought to myself, Wow, she has a beautiful life with beautiful friends and colleagues. I was thinking she has this awesome jetsetter lifestyle and I’m here sacrificing daily to be the best mother I can be. I’ve yet to accomplish the things I want to accomplish professionally, I’m just now starting my business, and my social life is basically non existent.

I suddenly found myself thinking, maybe I should have done this and maybe I shouldn’t have done that. I mean I was really having a moment. A moment of comparison and envy. I’m totally not about that so I politely got off her page and moved on.

After scrolling for a few seconds I ran across another post from another classmate that hit me like a ton of bricks. Her post got me in check. It brought me back from the very ridiculous moment I was having prior, but then the that’s when the real creep kicked in. I couldn’t help it. I had to. I went back to the previous classmates page and begin to scroll. I kept scrolling and realized it wasn’t perfect. It was only at the second glance did I see it though. There were things that were important to me missing. But it was okay. It’s her journey not mine. I finally had a mini breakthrough. A breakthrough that I have already had in the past but obviously God felt I needed a little reminder.

Often times we look at people’s lives from an outside perspective making interpretations that we aren’t sure of. [Tweet “Social media turns lifestyle into a perception that’s not always real. Don’t get caught up in that. “] It’s important to not to compare your journey with anyone else’s. Understand that your life is yours alone and that you always have the opportunity to make it better.

If you don’t like something in your life, make it better.

You may be a single mom right now but you could meet the man of your dreams tomorrow and that would change. You may not be where you want to be professionally right now but guess what, you can set goals to get there. Want to start a business? Go for it! Home ownership, going back to school, and getting that body that you want is all attainable. [Tweet “If you can dream it, you can do it.”]

Just remember you have a lot to celebrate right now!! You have beautiful, healthy children. There is a woman somewhere wishing she could carry her child, that she didn’t have to lose hers, or that she could even conceive one. You have a beautiful home and shelter for your kids. The homeless shelters are overflowing with people who can only dream of a space to call their own right now. Your vehicle is running and getting you from point a to point b. Public transportation can save you money, but it certainly is not convenient.

So while your hoping, wishing and dreaming to elevate your life, don’t forget to be grateful for the one you already have.

Fall in love with YOUR life.

Count your blessings. Take inventory of the things that you now have, that you used to hope for. Theres nothing like a little reflection to get you inspired.

We all have our own journey, and yours is perfect just the way it is. Don’t doubt that!

    Love this post! It is so true. I’ve found myself caught up in that “social media veil” of how people want you to see their life, not what it may really be. Remembering to stay grateful for what l have and realizing that it’s my journey has helped me stay in check.

      It’s true. We have to realize we are just as blessed as the next person and be appreciative for that!

The way I’m set up I can only give my energy to The way I’m set up I can only give my energy to a few things at a time. At the top of the year I was coming in hot and then boom….Omarion. 

In the midst of feeling crappy I had all kinds of brand deals due, a launch to execute, and babies to take care of. It was A LOT! 

When life be LIFEing it’s hard for me to focus on anything outside of my household. I’m fully present in real life so the virtual world gets put on pause. And I know that’s not the best idea when your building a business but…sanity!

Oh and passive marketing 😉

I finally have my energy back, and I’ve been posting on the Youtube channel and chatting with my email peeps…. I missed y’all.

Here’s to me getting it together and finding my way back. 

Happy Monday y’all!!

4 years ago I left my job with nothing! A month e 4 years ago I left my job with nothing!

A month earlier I realized I wasn’t happy. I was tired and frustrated with myself for living beneath my potential. Nothing was necessarily “wrong” I just knew there had to be more. I prayed and asked God to lead me into what was next.

Two weeks later I witnessed my coworker jack up my 3 year old and put her on the wall because she ran out of line and onto the playground too soon…..

Two days later my boss told me the state came in and saw she had me working in a position I wasn’t certified to be doing (nor getting the pay for 😒) and I needed to get it asap!

The morning of the test I woke up and realized I slept through my alarm, her multiple texts and the test! 🥴 I took that as my sign to move on. So I did!

At the time all I had was hope and a dream. I figured I could side hustle my way to what I was making then. All I knew was that my babies needed all of me, not some unhappy fraction of who I could really be for them. 

Even though I had no clue what I was doing or how I was going to make it work, I did it anyway! 

After getting up and calling my boss back to tell her I was gonna move on, I picked up my camera to document the moment.

A few days ago someone commented on that very video, I needed that in the moment. I realized I’ve come so far, did what I intended to do and am working toward the life that girl wanted! She’d be proud.

Thank you all for your continued support! I hope you know your journey to success may look a lil different in the beginning but trust yourself, something great is waiting on the other side of your decision!

It’s the first Monday of the month and all I’m It’s the first Monday of the month and all I’m thinking about is “How can I be better than I was last year!”

I’m done with doubting myself because I can do anything with God on my team.

I’m done with imposter syndrome because “I did that” the receipts are in!

This year I’m getting back fine 😜 aggressively delegating, staying consistent, living more, complaining less and gratefully celebrating every single moment.

That’s it. Those are the plans.

I hope you find the courage to do the same!
