I can do better....

Reverting to my last post ...HERE

Have you ever had a month,a year,a DAY where you ask yourself?How in the world did I get here???
It was a series of events that led up to ONE highlighted event that shed light on all of the others.
I consider myself to be financially......safe...lol HA! ...WHATEVER THAT MEANS..lol
However I sometimes spend as if I have a rich alter ego.
I'm coming to realize that no one is picking up the bill..but ME .I am the one paying for all of the expenses and am left to fork over the moolah EACH and every time I spend! duh!

Anyway I said that to say this...
I no longer wish to be "safe" I need to be secure. Aha! Do they mean the same thing ..?no.Safe is cool...(away from harm) i.e. I don't have pookie and them looking for their money following me around in a tinted black car.That's more like..Umbrella in rainstorm........
"Secure"-Make certain in the future. <<------THAT  is where I need to be (i.e...a routine is now a habit,embedded in me and a lifestyle).Imagine seat belt secure...not a car seat belt..no, like and 16 story ride at Dorney Park seat belt secure..Got the visual?Good.
is this making sense?

 I literally less than 10 min ago ..printed out my bank statement and went to dissecting my funds.Highlighting the nonsense and the necessary...and guess what came head to head ??Nonsense!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhh.
Well I'm done with lying to myself and feeling like if I do good one month and have excess income,I've graduated into the better bank habit league.I can't start and stop.It's scary.
As a new business owner,learning that my gifts will one day be my MAIN source of income and possibly  livelihood UNLESS I MARRY DWIGHT HOWARD-#dontjudgeme I MUST do better.
I wont beat myself up...BUT I must push myself.
I must tell yo that this morning .....I felt schizophrenic moving my legs in and out of the square blocks on the ground as I shuffled back and forth wondering if I should stop for coffee at (fill in the blank)...I must've look REALLY confused.
But I took a deep breath and walked straight to work.

Anyway I saw this on this BLOG and I became encouraged.

I CAN do better...and since can means physically able...I WILL do better.

What can you do to change?

I recently read and article HERE about a woman who literally listed everything in her life that she worried about on a daily basis.She broke it down phenominally about how laying them out was just the 1st step to overcoming and coming to terms on how to tackle each thing.She categorized them by subject and then broke them down based on her ability to control or challeneg each situation.EVEN the things that were out of her control.

If you're anything like me,creating a routine for a routine seems so much more challenging than staying overwhelmed!lol

I downloaded the PDF version of this to do on my own.

I think it is a fabulous and creative way to identify different concerns and issues and identifying(if possible) resolutions and or ways to tackle each thing.Basically helping you and I to set and SEE goals differently.
Writing helps your thoughts walk.
I think A WHOLE lot so I need to write the main issues crammed in my brain,I need to set goals,because not setting a goal is setting a goal anyway.
SO here's my own rendition...TAKE 1.
LOL
Since I AM a Christian, I make it a habit to pray over my goals.I may have the vehicle(MY BODY) BUT I still need the license and a map to actually go anywhere :-).
Therefore I need God's guidance.Simply put..."JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL"
lol

NON OFFICIAL...BUT A GOOD START

Ultimately i can Make many many plans...but
Matt 6:25-34

²⁵ “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷ Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life^[e]?
   ²⁸ “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹ Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰ If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? ³¹ So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

What CAN you live WITHOUT?

Donna Brazile created a list for O Magazine, Six Things You Can Live Without (Forever!).
And another blogger did the same..HERE  


SO here is my rendition...ok this is kinda hard..


Spanx: I just made a mistake right?WRONG!.lol Being plus size I can count on both hands as many time I have worn a girdle ,Spanx or any organ constricting garment :-p.I am all about comfort.Not that I'd rather walk around looking like a sack full of rocks,but then there in lies the issue...don't wear it.I know, I know...people have different perspectives and TOTALLY swear by these. Petite or Plus.But for the life of me,I think underwear should not be seen nor heard,felt but not hurting.lol.

2. Woe is Me'ers:They are our family members,friends,subjects on our blogs,and even total strangers on the bus.They are the "world has shattered and only I was affected" folk.They are the ones who can take a simple thing as spilled milk and turn it into a diary entry about how they've done it all of their lives.Please don't get it mixed up with people who have genuine hardships and need a listening ear ,no NOT them.I'm talking about the ones who refuse to see the sunny side of ANYTHING,who cannot be happy.Almost like manipulation.Life is too short.Don't let them make you love less though.

3. Royal Blue or ANy other Primary Colored HAIR PIECE:It's a never ending PANDEMIC!
There has never been,nor ever will there be a reason to WEAR royal blue in my hair! The end.

4. Bad Boyfriends/Girlfriends:You only get one life,and although you can't choose the outcome,you can choose who you come out with.

5. Try once to say you did it FOOD: I am NOT a Epicurean.I do not have to be cool to have tried something that can climb down my throat and have a pool party in my belly.No thanks :-).I will try new things,but NOT for the thrill of it.I can live without Cow tongue,fried oysters,Live squid and the list goes on....

6. Comparison: Life is hard without out your additions.I am a firm believer in what's mine is mine and what's yours is yours.Envy and comparison can lead you to live a life that you only want because someone else has glorified it.Press to find God's intention for your destiny and not that of what you have aligned along side yours and determined looks better.Envy can push you to be ambitious,but if the source and the foundation isn't of ANY substance.The end result will only produce that.The bible says in

2 Corinthians 10:12 "Do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise."

What is your list comprised of?
