Who Inspires you?

"Who inspire you?"
This was put up on instagram today. I went through the comment section and i saw the names people tagged, some seemed like a joke others felt like they really meant it. This thought popped into my head "Who inspires me?" First i had to check the meaning of inspiration,(don't get me wrong, i know what it means but i had to check again to evaluate the people in my life and the people i admire, lol)
    After i checked, thought about it, re-read the meaning of inspiration, I could only come up with 5 people who truly inspire me. People I want to work hard to be like or greater than. lol
To anyone who reads this, ask yourself  "who inspires me" I think its a good question to ask ourselves, cause it "MIGHT" make us work a little hard to succeeding.
    YES, I have been away for too long. A whole lot happened while i was away ! Trust me, i will fill you in (wink). Once again welcome to my crazy beautiful life :)

GROWN WOMAN

Yesterday was my birthday, while I was getting ready to leave the house and go out with a few friends, I looked in the mirror and saw two young women. One who has been beat up by life with all the heart aches, pains, mistakes, regrets and wrong decisions. The other, a beautiful young woman, in her eyes I saw hope, greatness, happiness, bravery, strength. I saw a  grown woman.

This is another new beginning for me and the start of the best days of my life. Happy days are here, I know I'll be just fine.

They say everyone comes into our lives for a reason, Sometimes we don't know the reason until they are gone, other times even after they are gone we still don't know why they were there in the first place cause there was no impact. Now that's the reason "No Impact" a friend told me something years ago when I was younger and didn't dedicate 22 hours of everyday thinking *lol, true story sha** he said "don't just make friends, let your relationship with them be meaningful,you don't need friends that will sit and talk about boys all day long, think of what you guys can contribute to the world". Evaluate the people in your life, when they leave and there was no impact, don't let the next set that comes in be the same way, don't even allow them in, stop them at the doorway if they have nothing meaningful to offer.

FORGIVENESS

I love love love Tv shows, yesterday while watching "Being Mary-Jane" I heard something that touched me and I decided to share. Here goes;
                                               " Everyone wants to know how to move on from a tough time in their life, the point is people I see, the people tend to act out moving on, when in fact the only way to truly do it, to really do it is to start with forgiveness. Whether you're learning to forgive yourself for years of repeated disappointments, or whether you are searching to forgive the ones you love for repeatedly disappointing you, there will come a time where you will be asked to utter the words ''I forgive you".  In that moment you have a choice, you can suffer defeat and remain a failure or you can rise from the ashes and move forward. I say choose forgiveness".  
      
             Not forgiving yourself causes limitation, It limits your growth in ways that you might not even know. It's actually harder than forgiving someone else. You can act out healing and moving on but when you don't forgive yourself you will still remain at the same place, It's like making a mistake until you learn the lesson, you will keep on making the same mistake but in different ways. Some steps that I am taking to learn how to forgive myself.
1. Practising Self Acceptance
2.Understanding The Importance Of Self Forgiveness
3.Accepting My Emotions
4.Learning To Let Go Of Other People's Expectations Of Me
5.Writing
6.Seeing It As A Journey
So far I am doing okay, I have been repeating these steps over and over, and I will keep repeating them till I get to the end of my journey.
 Life Goes On So Forgive And Forget. :)
