Financial Freedom Comes With A Price








As soon as I declared my commitment to being financially free, my world began to crumble slowly... Things happened to the contrary. But what I have found is this, there are principles that are true no matter what phase you are in in your quest for financial freedom and they are:

  1. As much as it depends on you, stick to your plan. If you get off track, get back on where you got off and keep going. But don't quit!
  2. Give yourself a break. It's been hard enough being a slave to debt. Don't allow the weight of this journey crush you. Get on top of it and stay there.
  3. Create a journal and write out your frustrations as well as your victories! Pretty soon, your victories will be most important and far more frequent than your disappointments.
  4. Seek positive role models who have been through this process. They understand the highs and lows of your journey.
  5. Let it go. Yes! Let it go. You are doing all that you can to make it work! But at some point it is an act of faith that your hard work will pay off and  you have to trust that interruptions will come but you have to work your plan!
Nothing worth anything is easy. It just isn't. But if you continue to add building blocks to your experiences, you will recognize that you are above and not beneath and if you sow your seeds in good ground, ordering your life will yield a harvest you won't have room enough to contain!

I'm committed. I am going to go as far as this journey calls for me to go. Hope to hear more from you and your experiences with finances.

Blessings!

Don't Let the Day Get Away

Every day of our lives is like a garden. It requires care, attention, and protection. If we never weed, till, or water our gardens they will become so overgrown until we won't know our planted treasures from the clutter. The weeds, being equal to life's distractions, and the flowers, being the people and activities that deserve our planned and prioritized efforts, cannot peacefully co-exist. Our lives are worth every moment we can take to plan our days, organize our thoughts, master faith over our fears, and contribute love to a world in need. Take time every day to plan and think ahead about the ways in which you can extend the life of your treasures and rid yourself of the unnecessary fodder that would steal time and opportunity if left unchecked. Even say out loud, "My time is valuable because it is the conduit through which my life flows. My life is valuable because of how I cherish my time." Be Encouraged, Speak Life!

GOOD MORNING! In my morning meditation walk at work, I was encouraged by Holy Spirit to remember and to remind you that GREATER IS HE WHO IS IN US THAN HE WHO IS IN THE WORLD! I want to encourage you to NEVER let anyone or any circumstance outside of you change, manipulate, contort or distort who God (CREATOR) created you to be! YOU ARE: Fearfully and wonderfully made and nothing less The head and not the tail and nothing less Above and not beneath and nothing less The righteousness of God and nothing less The manifested hope of times past and nothing less BECAUSE GOD IS GREATINYOU, YOU ARE GREATER THAN WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND NOTHING LESS! Head up! Shoulders back! Chest out! Now, let's go get it! Loving YOU to Life! Dorothea Manley, Project Speak Life
