EVERYTHING THAT IS FOR ME IS ALREADY IN MOTION

0 Comments

...and I stand on that! 10 toes down!

I won’t have to beg for it, be confused about it, be uncertain about it; I won’t doubt it, I won’t question it! I will be sure about it; I will be certain about it, clear about it, and it will make itself known!
​
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Ok, let me not get ahead of myself. Hey y’all! Happy New Year! Peace and blessings shall be your portion!

Whew! So 2022 was a lot, right? I KNOW! We made it, and I feel really good about this 1st quarter. I know some of us need that “first of the year” reset. I get it; I do. Sometimes just seeing January 1 is enough to get you going in the right direction.

So, yeah, back to this gold nugget of wisdom… I truly believe that! If I’m honest, I should’ve been resting in this. Literally, EVERYTHING that is for me is already in motion!

But, Nisha, what about the bad stuff? What about the bad stuff? Listen, yes, we know bad things happen, but standing on this gold nugget affords me the opportunity to still hope! What I want for US is to retrain our mode of thinking. Instead of rehearsing the negative things happening in our life, think on all the positive! And say them out loud! There’s something about hearing those words that really make a difference.

Last time, let me let the folks in the back have their say….”But, Nisha, my life ain’t been no crystal stair. Join the club! My life ain’t been and ain’t now…But I’m learning to look at things differently. I’m learning to talk myself down with scriptures and leaning into knowing and truly believing that everything that is for me is already in motion!

I think well of myself; I speak well of myself when I’m alone and when I am in the presence of others. Practicing this prepares me for what’s mine. Speaking and thinking positively helps me to recognize the things that are for me. I’ll be sure about it; I will be certain about it, clear about it; it will make itself known!

Everything that is for me is already in motion!
