Rearrangment (Monday Motivation)

Stay focused on what’s important and don’t make unneccessary changes. Maintain balance and intergrity, regardless of what others decide to do.

His life was vital energy that would galvanize the civil rights movement. […]

Outcomes

We give value, power, and significance to certain things that we feel will fill us with a sense of accomplishment when we put in the hard work. However, being overzealous for a desired outcome could ultimately leave you with a burden of disappointment if you’re not prepared to know how to react to the possible […]

A chance to win

Photo Credit – Cheryl Empey Verse 1 On some days my thoughts have difficulty forming So once I begin writing my stanzas don’t make much sense, but my experiences with past rejections gave me resilience to never accept stagnation, Every time I was declined by what I had to offer, the more I felt more […]

Energized

All I wanted was for you to be honest, So please present me with definitive answers Your disregard for my efforts energized me to persevere and continue Envisioning a serendipitous outcome, I can never dismiss […]
