Water your garden!



During the summer months in many places the grass becomes very brittle and dry. Being from Florida, you grow up seeing how the grass can become dead. During months that have less rain it can become dead very fast. However, we only see the top part of the grass. If time goes on a the grass doesn’t get any rain the roots began to die. 

Within our lives we typically have high and lows even within our profession, or our life. We typically start off very strong when we get fresh blessings, new job, or new accomplishments. It’s easy for us to water the new blessings. We are high off excitement we have a new found joy being in a new place, new accomplishments. 

Within our life there will be times where it’s a dead period. No highs, no accomplishments or any wins. Will we still love the thing that we are set out to do with the same vigor. Will we still keep watering our garden to not allow the roots to die. A lot of times people allow the roots of their dreams to go dry and die out.

We must focus ourselves on our daily task even if it seems mundane. Day in and day out we must continue to water the garden. One are of ourselves or our career may need more water then the next area but it’s imperative that we know which area we need to focus on. 

Too many times individuals allow their dream to die out because they simply don’t water enough. They simply lose hope because they don’t see the fruits of their labor growing quite yet. Like many things growing under ground (carrots, cucumbers etc) it’s a process of timing. Like us, there’s a growth process that must happen before it’s the right time before we see the efforts of our watering. In due time will we reap the harvest of what we have sewn.

We must be steadfast and continue to do what we are called to do. Eventually, when you water something long enough there is growth.

Mess don’t get blessed!

 In many circumstances we are praying for our lives to get better. We are asking God to give us our hearts desires. However, the biggest thing that doesn’t get spoke on is that God doesn’t bless mess. The circle around us, the people we are connected to daily can affect that.  When you hop on a plane the pilot (you) is flying. The pilot depends on air traffic control (God) to navigate them through the skies (life). Many times when the tarmac is to cluttered air traffic control tells you not to land yet. Air traffic control then tells the pilot to do what’s called a “go - around” to make sure there’s adequate enough separation from other planes.  Many times in your life  you can be so close to your destination that you want to be at. You can be so close to getting that dream house but you haven’t allowed separation from certain people and behaviors for you to land with those blessings safely.  You have to check your surroundings and see who’s holding you back fro...

Consistency wins the race!

Motivation is futile:     We all know the story of the turtle vs rabbit and who eventually wins the race. This analogy couldn't correlate to life so well. We usually get frustrated with not being where we want to be when we want to be there. There are days where motivation becomes futile when no matter how much we try to convince ourselves otherwise. It's important that we create a plan of action every day to attack our daily tasks. Something we can write down and visually see. For example, if there is a time in the day that is dedicated to watching film at one write it down to visually see. Versus telling your self at 1pm I am going to watch film. There are a million things running through your mind at any given time of the day. Attack the day by being diligent in your work.  Diligent:       The definition of diligence according to Merian - Webster is working carefully with consistent effort. Being diligent in your work allows you to be accountable fo...
