Believing Promotes Exaltation

At one time or another in life, some of us reach a point that we become discouraged and begin to believe that nothing in our life is going the way we have envisioned and it seems there is no end in sight.  All of our success hinges on one tiny word called "Believe". If we choose to believe that we won't ever rise to the occasion, then we never will. We are programmed to have negative thoughts but we are designed with the ability to override negativity with positive energy. Being positive will allow our thoughts to become a powerful source of energy that projects and propel us into this great force of unlimited "believing". If we believe, we will be exalted, just wait for it.

It's The Inside That Matter

We must strive to prosper from the inside out. This is the only place that we must work diligently to  redecorate and can not hire an outside interior decorator.

And We Are One

If the connection that I have with you makes us one...then there is nothing that you feel that I don't feel. My thoughts are your thoughts and I express myself the exact same way that you do. With that said, why do we need space to rest from each other and how can we possibly survive the separation? Author Loyce Bullock

Hoodwinked And Bamboozled

Hoodwinked and Bamboozled is synonymous with being "fooled" big time. Not all people attach themselves to you because they love you. Some people do it because they love themselves. Making sure you see the true reason for an attachment is the best way to avoid emotional destruction. Author Loyce Bullock

Your Designated Driver

Your designated driver should be someone that you trust with your life. Someone that loves you unconditionally even when you have swallowed the things in life on your quest for living.

One must learn to spend time wisely, doing the things that really matter. These things will only include the areas in our lives that promote positive growth.

Take heed that at the end of each day, you are not left with regrets that are lost in time. Author Loyce Bullock

Life As You Know It

Life as you know it should cease to exist once you have children. At that point, your children should be your main priority and every decision that you make should be for the benefit of your children. We must teach by example so that our children will learn to take advantage and not take for granted the resources that have been provided for us. In addition to God, our next greatest resource for prosperity should be family both paternal and maternal.  Prosperity comes from the teamwork of taking advantage of resources and not taking for granted the resources.  Author by Loyce Bullock

STOP!!! You Are Burning Your Last Bridge

Once you have a particular destination in mind, or shall we say a certain goal, we can never make it there alone. People are put in our path to build bridges for our safe arrival. It is at this particular destination that we become all that we can be. Once you have landed safely and you are beginning to prosper, take a look behind you just to be confident that the bridges that you crossed are still standing. Because just when you become full of your self, and feel that you don't need people anymore, you will remember that you left something way back in life that you need to complete you where you are. This means that you must turn around and go back over the same bridges and what if, you have burned them all down. Treat people right because the bridge you save may be the one you will need again.

I See You

You and transparency share the same definition. You know that you are transparent when everyone can see through you.  If people can read your past, present, and future, you are transparent.  Make sure that what people see identifies with what they feel.  Lets hope that people feel good about you. Author Loyce Bullock

Against the Wind

Lack of maturity produces struggles in our lives because of the decisions that we make.  Decisions without the benefit of wisdom. For this reason in our youth, we are constantly striving, struggling, and pushing against the wind of life.  This powerful force of resistance leaves us mentally and physically exhausted daily. The  constant depletion of our energy source will eventually leave us depressed and unfulfilled. Mentally we can withstand running against the wind in our youth but as we age, we should let wisdom dictate our decision making and no longer Run Against the Wind. The older we become, the more calm and productive we should be in which mental and physical exhaustion is not an option. Author Loyce Bullock

Enslave Me No More

Enslave my mind while I'm too young to think

Keep me looking different places so that I can not blink

Chain my hands and my feet, I can't move from this place

But my inner soul is covered by God's Amazing Grace

And as my freedom explodes deep within me, I Grin

I'll keep my mind open never....to be Enslaved Again

Matters Of The Heart

We have been lied to in every imaginable culture and language.  We have been told that love hurts. Love is the tool that was used to form the foundation of the world so let's be realistic.  If our foundation of existence is based on the four letter word "LOVE" then hurt can not possibly be a part of that equation. That lie was formed by the enemy to separate relationships from which solid bonds are formed. Bonds that produce growth that will not shake the solid foundation from which it is built on. In reality, love only hurts when you run from it, pull away from it or if one refuse to free fall direct into the love pool. Love can not be altered or rearranged.  Love Just Is.  Author Loyce Bullock

There Is Money To Be Made

 

To experience financial prosperity, someone must sell and someone must buy. If you are the seller, make sure that the product that you advertise has its own merit and that it doesn't need to be sexually enhanced in anyway. If your product is based on the old adage that sex sells, people will soon see it for what it really is. If you are the buyer, make sure that you see your purchase as an investment and that it is not influenced by something that will never become a part of your initial investment.  That scantily clad female doesn't actually come with the car.

When There Is No One Else- I Think Of You

I never think of you on a daily basis because I don't really love you like that.  I could care less if you succeed; in fact, I want to succeed before you have a chance to. Since I have known you, you have always helped me with everything and that only motivated me to want to beat you at everything you do.  Truth is, I only think of you when I have a need because..... I know that you will be there....Author Loyce Bullock

Wait For It - It Is So Worth It

It's All Good And Everlasting

In life, we strive daily to achieve all good things. Even though we are constantly reminded that all good things must end, it doesn't dampen our efforts none the least. We always seem to embrace that part of life that bring us joy and happiness. It is through continued self edification and determination that we hold fast to the knowledge that "Good Things Never Come To An End". "Good Things Merely Change Positions".

My Adult Choices

Most of us want to believe that we have the exact recipe for making grown-up decisions. The reality of it all is that some of us have no clue what the proper ingredients are for making such grown-up decisions. These type of decisions should have the eye sight that look forward, eyes in the back of your head, and peripheral vision as well. In other words, grown-up decisions will have "Wisdom" mixed in, and covering everything that you have selected to do. Grown-up decisions are positively made and they will not negatively affect anyone involved. Grown-up Decisions will build a person or relationships and will never tear it down.

It's Up To You To Build Your Future

I was in a storm at one point in my life. The fierce winds and rain knocked me down, tossed me to and fro. Each day, I would drag myself up, stand and before I knew what was happening, the fierce wind and rain would blow so hard, that it would knock me down again and again.  Each time I fell down, I lost something of myself that meant an awful lot to me and to my prosperous state of being.  Taking a deep breath, I decided that if I would just stay down, I would never again feel the pain of falling. Taking another deep breath with a sigh, man it felt good not to be hit by life again. As I lay there, realization began to set in, I have not experienced a positive change in a few days. It soon became clear that there was no change because I was still in the same place that I had fallen days ago.  My mind began to flood with knowledge encompassed with wisdom and I could hear this voice as if speaking from another place saying, "stop being afraid, get up, push yourself up and stand to your feet. Take charge of your life. After all, it is YOU that is responsible for Building Your Future.  Author Loyce Bullock 

Don't Be Deceived By The Eye Of The Hurricane

We are attacked daily by the severe problems of life which causes turmoil and causes us to lose focus on what is really meaningful to us. Our survival depends on our ability to recognize the tools needed to access our effective weapons of war.  We allow our hearts to be hurt over and over because during certain times of the day, the war we are in becomes calm and we are lulled into a false sense of safety. Don't be deceived, because when a calm exists, you are in the eye of the hurricane and the turmoil and fierceness of those life's problems are still there. We must stay focused, stay alert, and above all stay prayerful. One of your effective weapons of war is prayer.  Author - Loyce Bullock

What's In A Name

 

The name that you were given at birth, does it really define who you are? We don't seem to focus on what our name is until someone brings it to our attention and mostly in a negative way. As long as someone says "that's a pretty name", we are all smiles and joyful inside. However, when our name is associated with something negative, we become a little irritated and wonder why our parents gave us that name. If we have been surrounded by negative situations throughout our life, we seem to feel that our name is cursed and wish a thousand times that we had a different name. Put yourself in the shoes of the # sign which goes by the name of the number sign, the hash tag, and the pound sign. Hopefully, the sign doesn't get confused and let's hope that it will still perform in whatever capacity it is called. After all, what's in a name. Author Loyce Bullock

The Truth About Love

I found the truth about love and it floored me to think of the many years I have lived and did not know the real truth about love. It means that I have never loved and that no one has ever loved me. It is our fault that we have never been loved and it is our fault that we have never loved. I hear your
heart and it proclaims that I am wrong but let's weigh it out with a truth that can not be denied. If you truly love someone, you do not think of yourself ever. When you look at that person, you want to make them happy, you want to always see them smile, you always want to take away anything that will hurt them, you always see the beauty in them. Bottom line it is never about you. I know that I want to be loved that way so I choose to love that way. After all, Christ did not think of Himself when He went to the cross, He thought only of us.  Author Loyce Bullock

Though Your Heart Is Breaking

There is some truth to the saying "Smile though your heart is breaking". Each time your heart is broken, there is a lesson to be learned. A heart that is broken is most assuredly a heart that is tender with the ability to love someone other than your self. Therefore, the first lesson is that you can and do love. The other lessons are all encompassing and it brings us to the understanding that we must smile while we are hurting so that forgiveness of the one that hurt us becomes an easy task. A broken heart must be allowed to heal naturally so that we do not live with a heart full of scars. If hate and bitterness sets in during the hearts healing process, you will have permanent scars and you will spend a lifetime with the rhythm of your heartbeat totally out of sync.

Looking But Not Seeing

How many times have you said or heard someone say "I could see exactly what they were trying to do before they did it". Statements like this are made so that we do not look foolish when certain things are done to us by others. Certain things that are done without regards to how it will make you feel so we save face by making statements as such. This statement in particular is spoken to mask the hurt that has been imposed on us at the time. We see it but we are powerless to stop it. Each time this happens, we have settled for actions from others that we do not want to accept but we do it anyway. We give people too much value that don't value us. If you see a ball of mess coming, move so that it passes you by. If you stand still, it will hit you and the person that sent it really feels superior and bask in the reality that you are beneath them. Why do we look for escape routes in life if we are not going to see them? Author: Loyce Bullock
