January 19, 2025


It's easier to say no to ourselves than to say no 
to someone else.
It's easier to let ourselves down.
This...is hard to turn around.
But I'm working on it.

Rescued & set free


I have spent a lot of my time putting energy into 
things that don't matter. 
When you sit down and really take an honest look at where your time
is spent,
and really ponder how quickly it passes you by,
 & how valuable your time is...
it can shed some light on a few things.
Today I'm going to work on better time management,
which in turn will help me towards simplifying my life a bit more.
Prioritize.

Yesterday, I blogged about the bird.
After around 3-4 hours...
I took the basket outside on the stoop, 
and lifted the lid. The sweet little one
was sitting upright and ready to go.
It looked at me for a bit...
 & then it flew away.
It was a happy moment.

Some journal notes...


"What we do with our time is what we do with our life.
We don't get time back."

Walk away from things that are a waste of time for you.

Stay focused on things that matter.

Learn to say "no".

'It's inevitable to disappoint people along the way, but
we don't have to choose to disappoint ourself. 
Learn to honor yourself.
Know that whatever you do, you will disappoint someone.
That's OK. Just don't disappoint yourself.'

Take charge over your time.

Call yourself out on giving up on yourself.

Put your efforts and energy into the things you care about.

You can bring opportunities into your life by the 
choices you make.

Start now. Move toward your goals. Work smart. Move forward
putting one step in front of the other.

Be proactive in your own life.

"If you are truly content, you will not be
plagued by anxiety."

'It is essential to exert some control over your thinking.
Think God's thoughts.'

Get...your mind set,
determined.

Negativity won't get you anywhere.

'Negative thoughts only make you depressed and hopeless.'

'Change your mind & focus your energy toward God's
promises instead of man's.'

'Everything you have been through whether heavenly
or horrific, will serve a meaningful purpose in your life
if you allow it to.'

'Consider whether your mind is open & free
to explore the path God has for you.'

Create a mental and spiritual environment for greatness.

Negativity can be turned into stepping stones.

Make up your mind that you are not going to be 
held back anymore.

Develop new hope & new thoughts.

Do not fear challenges.

Don't complicate your life.

The more you ignore yourself,
the more complicated your life becomes.

"As the writer of your journey,
it's your responsibility to make your story
understandable."

'You do not need someone else to complete
you. You are enough.'

Your happiness is in your own hands,
no one else's.

'Your destiny is a matter of choice in the present,
not the chance of your past.'

Excuses won't get you what you want.

"Imagine it, going through life as a slave
to the opinions of those around you,
looking for approval & validation outside instead
of realizing that the answer is inside."
(Some of us don't have to imagine....)

be well...
xoxo
