When Quitting Is Not An Option!

Deepassionate1 Speaks

When Quitting Isn’t an Option!
When life starts pulling you out of your comfort zone, it is easy to give up, it is easy to feel like you are all alone. Standing still with your great expectations for life, looking for answers that have already been set forth by Christ. Running headfirst into deadlines that you created to meet your goals, feeling like you are being set up for something that you can no longer control.
How can you stay in power while learning how to let go? When quitting isn’t an option, how do you tap into the source that holds the momentum of your flow.

REST… Release Every Single Thing and acknowledge the source of your own anxiety.

RESET… Take a deep dive inside and tap into your new reality. Look for the positive side and release the negativity. Reconnect with God, the author and creator of your life. Filter through your feelings and your knowing, it will give you the power to live your life. Life is about creating balance and making conscious decisions about the way you want things to grow. Remember that life is a full circle, and you will reap all that you sow. Encourage yourself daily and spend time learning how to be still. Don’t spend your time putting our little fires when you can use that time to pray about God’s will.

Rejuvenate… because quitting isn’t an option. You can’t stop, but you can choose your battles wisely. You can choose to be Better Over Bitter. You can choose how you will react to the circumstances that life will bring to you. You can be more intentional with your time, energy and attention, attending to the seeds that are planted inside of you.

Write… Like your life is depending on it. Write out the pain and turn it into passion. Write down your plans and make it plain. Write down these words… “I can’t stop” and keep saying them over and over again. Write when you want to fight. Write when you want to curse. Write letters, poems, songs, and monologues that testify about all the things that your eyes have seen and the places where your feet will go. Write a life of thriving into existence and then LIVE like tomorrow isn’t promised because it’s not.

When Your Dream Seems TOO Big!

Deepassionate1 Speaks

What do you do when your dreams seem too big?
When your mind is full and you don't have anything else to give?
How do you know if you are supposed to keep on going?
What happens when you need a sign to help you keep flowing?
I woke up with a headache that testified about the state of my mind. The battle in my head was in full effect and all I wanted to do was to go back to sleep, but I couldn't. The life of an educator and entrepreneur was up in arms again and I was struggling to survive. After dragging myself out of bed, I met God in my sacred space (the shower) and inquired about my state of existence. I needed a word of encouragement and reassurance because the fire inside me was dying.
And then the word came! Or should I say the text lol. My sis-star friend texted me God's words "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10 I needed that confirmation that I could not stop. I could Rest, Reset & Rejuvenate, but I don't get to stop. "Greatness is a heavy load to carry and even more to birth...but you got this love. And we got you." JM

Questions Worth Answering

1. What do you do to slow your thoughts down when your mind is racing?
2. What dream is dominating your life right now?
3. How would you describe the relationship between your dreams and your reality?
4. Do you have a support team? Identify the individuals and the support that you receive from them.
5. Do you believe that you have what it takes to deliver your dreams into the world?

Mastering the Art of Self-Management

Deepassionate1 Speaks

Being a new entrepreneur has pushed me out of my comfort zone into a place where I am learning that self-management is very important. Entrepreneurship doesn't give you a license to cancel out your day to day responsibilities and if you have a career like I do, you definitely have to be SMART with your time, energy and attention.

How am I able to do all things?
I know that "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!" Phil 4:13 BUT knowing without doing doesn't produce fruit.

Doing is the other half!
Your ability to prioritize your goals is the key to making progress. You must make a daily decision about what must be done and hold yourself accountable for the execution of the necessary actions to attain your goals.

Questions Worth Answering

1. What are you willing to give up to bring your vision to fruition?
2. What will keep you going in the days when you feel like giving up?
3. Why do you believe your vision should be executed this year?

Dee's Path to Self- Management

1. Commit and Don't Quit
2. Take time to take care of yourself. (Physically, Mentally, Socially & Spiritually)
3. Be patient with your process and make sure you process your process with someone else if it is needed:)
4. Take breaks if you are working on more than one project at a time.
5. Set SMART goals. Make sure what you are working on is SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ATTAINABLE, REALISTIC & TIMELY.
6. Create a hit list for each day and use it to execute your vision.

Dee's Daily Hit List Formula

Focused	Automatic	Filter
Strategic work that is connected to your vision.	Things that need to be attended to daily.	To do or not to do? Things and people that pop up throughout the day.

Do you have what it takes to be your own hero?

Deepassionate1 speaks

Mental Health Month is here and I am aware that my mind is racing, leaving me in the dusk to find my way home. I've been pushing myself really hard for the past few weeks, trying my best to meet deadlines for projects that I am currently working on.
And then there are days like today.
Days like today when all I want to do is cry.
Days like today when I have to remind myself that this too will past.
Days like today when I have to tell myself that quitting is not an option.
Days like today when I needed to reach out to a sis-star friend to pray for me.
Days like today when I needed a hero so that is what I became.
Days like today that will serve as a reminder tomorrow that I made it!
I would like to encourage you to reach out to a friend if you are going through your own struggles this month and need some love and support. You don't have to do it alone, but you have to do it.

Keep Going!

Show up
Push through
Tap into the discipline that is inside of you
Write down everything that you want to do
Force yourself to do it, even on the days when the odds are against you
Remember that discomfort can be a friend instead of a foe
Do the work and with time you will grow
Into a hero in your own eyes
Someone who sees the value in self and will no longer compromise.
