You Can’t Walk into 2019 with 2018 Baggage

I opted to make this piece short and sweet because getting into the nitty gritty of each of the points I make below would result in an extremely long post I’m sure most people would not read in its entirety (I know I probably wouldn’t). Not only that, but it helps get straight to the point about aspects of our lives that need attention and improvement in 2019 and beyond. These are areas that have become too commonplace and serve as deterrents of progress. Now, this isn’t an exhaustive list of every single area of our lives that we need to address, but even the ones that may not be directly related to you can help incite an understanding of what you need to do in order be a better person in the new year.

Jesus is the Reason for the Season

As we open gifts, wish each other good tidings, spend time with family and take part in the numerous happenings that occur on this glorious day, let us not forget what we are celebrating- the day our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, came into this world to begin His good work. We give God all the praise, honor and adoration for His Son that He sent to deliver us from sin.

May this holiday season bring you nothing but joy and happiness!

Merry Christmas!!

December Release: What Will the New Year Mean?

Contrary to my previous monthly posts, December's post will be a list of items related to this new, upcoming year and will be centered on what 2019 should and should not be a year of for everyone. 2018 really has been a year to remember for countless reasons, and we should all have numerous takeaways from it. But I want to make sure we are taking the right things into 2019, and not allowing the wrong things to be brought along with us. The last thing you need in the new year is the same set of problems from the previous one. So let's set the record straight and make sure 2019 is a year of completion, prosperity and fulfillment!

It Always Seems Impossible Until It’s Done

One of the easiest decisions a person can make is to give up in face of adversity. But that’s the problem- it’s the easy way out. I know it’s difficult to face challenges that seem impossible to overcome, and choosing to stop trying to beat them would save you a lot of time and stress. But where would you be in life if you always threw in the towel and didn’t push yourself to overcome adversity? You’d be stuck in the past because you only got to where you are now by persevering against tough odds. We are meant to grow as human beings and this is just one of the unfortunate steps along the way because adversity is impossible to avoid. So are you going to secure the bag, or fumble it?

November Release: Overcoming Adversity

Facing challenges and obstacles in life is a given; you can't avoid them. But just because you will continue to face adversity doesn't mean:
1) They're impossible to overcome
2) Their sole purpose is to cause you grief
3) You won't get past them

Even though it may be difficult to see and/or understand now - trust me, I know - it's actually a good thing for us to go through these trials in life because they serve a bigger purpose for us down the line. You just have to see them through to witness it all come full circle.

So my next post, to be released this week, will focus on overcoming adversity and what it means for your life.
