It is people out there that have goals, dream and visions and they just don't know how to prioritize their life to create things in order to make it happen. Staying focused can be a difficult task at times, but it can be overcome once you practice methods daily to implement it.   You truly have to invest in some time and work and not make any excuses. Ask yourself do you really want to become something/someone and be great and succeed at it?  This world is so full of distractions, we tend to lose track of time, and our goals and we don't know how to manage our time effectively. I personally know how and what it means to lose track of time, get caught up on things that didn’t benefit me in life and made excuses. I stopped it once I realized I had a purpose to fulfill in life and wanted

Commitment issues? Why many have it!

Image
Many people have commitment issues for several different reasons. It can be due to negative experiences and beliefs and both sexes can suffer from commitment phobia.   What is commitment?  Commitment is a promise which two people make to each other explicitly – verbally or implied – by action. You commit to only dating each other and not seeing other people in a romantic way. You are committed to care for each other and to support each other. When you and your partner are committed to each other, there would be no uncertainty in your relationship. Together you commit to growing together as a couple, and walking the path of life together, hopefully leading to marriage if that’s what you both desire. Realistically the only way to have a healthy relationship is for both partners to be equally committed.

Why settle for LESS when you deserve the BEST?

Image
  That’s right; don’t settle for less when you deserve nothing but the best for you in life. Many people have settled for less than they deserve in their lives for many reasons, such as just being comfortable and content with where they are, not knowing their value or worth and not knowing that there is other great things out there for them or acting out of FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) just to name a few. Often we don’t know what’s out there that’s better for us because we choose to close our eyes to a Person or something without knowing greater things do exist.  Open your mind and heart to explore other avenues in your life. Of course we can create our own plan and path but let’s not lead on our own understanding and allow God to direct our paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.)  Sometimes you have to forget what you want to remember
