GUEST BLOGGER***Alicia Buchanan****
New year, new you, right? It’s totally cliché and everyone is saying it. But waiting for a new year resolution is not always promised to us. You’ve played the game all year long, been the good girl, helped everyone else. Now it is time to help yourself get off that emotional rollercoaster of life happening.
Why not get a fresh start today and do what you planned to do last year? So what, things didn’t go according to your plan. Start fresh again. Relinquish your power to God and let go of disappointment. Disappointment can paralyze your dreams. It is related to failure and not too far from fear. Kill it now. Do something bold.
Whether this means getting a new job, moving across town, taking that trip abroad, starting your own business, letting go of a toxic relationship or letting go of stuff that doesn’t work for you, do something courageous that you have never done.
You have the right to live your best life like Oprah says.
No one is perfect, even the strong Black woman needs help most of the time. Contrary to our cultural conditions to remain silent about what we are facing or think that our stories do not matter, it is not harmful to embrace our true reality.
Don’t fall victim to comparing
yourself to anyone else. They have their
own story. This is all about you and you
have permission to be selfish.
Honestly, outward appearances and impressions are
deceiving. Most men and women strive to
have what they feel is the perfect marriage, kids, house, luxury vehicle, six figure salary and a good
relationship with God and overall healthy wellbeing.Again these outward appearances can be deceiving.
Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it is not
always wise to compare the outward appearances of other people’s lives to your
own.
Falling into the trap of wanting what other people
have can be deadly. Yet, not dreaming at all can be just as deadly. Awaken your own dreams. Purpose it in your heart to be all you can
be.
If you have lived a comfortable safe life all of your
life, this may be a hard pill to swallow.
Let’s start from the beginning.
“Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never
permit the righteous to be moved”
(Psalm 55:22).
