Respect Yourself or Don't Complain!

Eileen Gonzalez

Yes…they betrayed me….but it’s OK!

I have a problem with that statement however from what I see there are many women and some men who live life with that statement tattooed on their forehead. How many times does the, “I messed up, I’m sorry, I’ll never do it again” work? How many tears do you have to cry or better yet how many tears are you willing to cry for someone who does not respect or value you? And why do you think that person will learn to respect and value you if all you do is fight, argue and then pretend it never happened? If you were teaching your kids to pick up after themselves and all you did was nag; then go clean it up, they will continue to create the mess. They will act like they care while you are arguing but that will be short lived and soon after they will no longer hear your nagging….they will have tuned you out because you will never stand up for yourself.

I see people from both genders who go about pretending life is great….I guess if they smile for a picture with their loved one, no one will know of the betrayal. Well if we want to live in denial then go ahead but the only one in denial land is you…..because everyone else knows the truth.

If you don’t stand up for yourself and for what is right…..then never complain and don’t just blame
he or she who betrays you as you did nothing about it!

Respect yourself....if not they won't and if you accept it, then don't complain!

It's About Attitude!

Eileen Gonzalez

Let's face it, life will throw us a curve ball from time to time and moping around, feeling sorry for our luck is not going to make things better....instead it will make matters worse.    So what do we do?  We change our attitude!  You see, our attitude toward people, things and circumstances will determine what happens next.  Yes, I know;  some things are hard to ignore.  However no one is telling you to ignore it, instead look at it from a learning perspective, find the lesson and learn it well.  Use the experience for growth and in time the sting will be less.

Our attitude will determine what happens next and since you can't change others nor undo what is done....the next best thing is to change your attitude and choose to move on.

SKIN DEEP!

Eileen Gonzalez

Being without make up can be a bit scary for some of us....lol

We may feel exposed or overwhelmed at our imperfections. But I have learned that when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, when we are open to sharing how we think and how we feel, when we are truly honest, then we are showing the real us.

The make up is just covering up the skin.....but who we are goes deeper.......it's SKIN DEEP......

Don't be afraid of feeling....don't be afraid of letting others see that you're human because there is a beauty that comes from being the real you

Man Plans but God Directs

Many years ago before I began my journey to a better me, I used to make plans but I never put my trust in GOD.  Instead I would plan for it and when things did not work out, I would be pissed; of course at GOD because nothing seemed to work for me.   But once I began this journey which was of reconnecting with self, I found myself connecting to GOD.   I came to realize that we are creators of our destiny however GOD is front and center of it all.  You see GOD instills in us a dream, a purpose and it is our responsibility to fulfill it.  These dreams, this purpose turns into a fire within us and it pushes us to create, to move and to transform ourselves.  When we are not in alignment with our purpose we become frustrated and we begin to display negative behavior.  Those are all signs that we are not in alignment with the person we are supposed to be.   This is my belief and it is because of this belief that I know that I can and will plan for better yet I know that GOD is directing my steps and changing me from within to ensure that I become the person I was always intended to be in accordance to His vision and to fulfill the purpose He prepared me to fulfill. 

Plan for a great life, but put GOD first; know that He knows you better than you do and that with His guidance and your faith, you shall live the life you were meant to live, fulfill the purpose you were meant to fulfill and become the amazing person you were meant to be. 

Not Just Coincidence!

Eileen Gonzalez

There is something greater at work than coincidence.  There is a reason why people meet; there is a reason why someone or something catches your eye even if for just one second.  There is a reason you overheard a conversation, a noise, a song or a cry.  There is a reason why we come across roadblocks, barriers and challenges.    


Life does not always make sense and sometimes understanding what is happening takes times and maybe somethings will NEVER be understood.  But I believe from my personal experiences, the good and the bad that I have met every person who has helped me on my journey.  Some made me cry much, some made me laugh and others left me questioning myself and that around me.   No matter what they did in my life they left me with a lesson…….some were painful lessons, but never the less valuable. 

Today as I welcome new people into my life, new challenges and experiences I do so with a happy go lucky attitude.  Why?  Because I don’t have a crystal ball to predict my future but I have faith in my Higher Source who tells me to keep moving in faith and in time all the questions I have will be answered and all the fears I have will fade in light and all the dreams that I have will become reality.  How?  Well by simply walking in faith and accepting that I know nothing more than I am a Woman who is undergoing change; I am work in progress, being molded by every person, event and thing that comes into my life.

The China Cabinet

When I was a young girl I remember my Mom would save her best china for the guests....she would store them in her China Cabinet. It was beautiful and she kept it sparkling clean. She loved how it just displayed everything in an elegant way. I always found it annoying because I thought I was better than the guest. LOL I thought; " I want to use those fancy plates all the time". Of course, I didn't, I knew better!

Why is this post relevant to me right now? Well because GOD has bestowed upon each and every one of us gifts, talents, potential and a purpose. Yet MANY of us go about life with those talents stored away. Some know they have them and they boast of what they can do but for some reason they don't - think China Cabinet. While others prefer to think of such as a dream that just can't ever come to fruition.

Think of this if you dare......Why the hec would GOD bestow upon us a vision if He knew we could not achieve it? Why in the world would GOD waste a talent on us if we did not possess the ability to bring it to life.

Stop storing those gifts, start living the life you are meant to live by WALKING IN FAITH and that starts by knowing GOD gave these to you and believing you can do more than you've done so far!

By the way.......my good china is for everyday use by everyone!
