LIMITED VS LIMITLESS SECURITY

A few days ago while walking to my car I thought to myself what brought me to this place at this time. What thought patterns, what decisions, what’s fears and insecurities, what strengths brought me to this moment in time. It was almost 6pm, I am on my way to my car, I had not seen my kids since 7am and I felt that question in my head, am I an available mom, is this really what I want to be my daily lifestyle? Is this how I want to show up to my kids? 

 

Many of us have these challenging questions as we review our decisions and see how we played the game of life. We went about life choosing security. Security is doing what everyone else does and expects us to do, security is staying within and conforming to the stories we were told about ourselves, security is choosing the job that pays the bills even though it does not align with who we know we are inside. Security is challenging ourselves to a point and no further. That security is limited security. 

 

Limitless security is unsecure at first. Its challenging ourselves outside of our comfort zone. It is taking a leap of faith, its coloring outside the box, its getting in arguments and disagreements with our loved ones who see our decisions as out of line and none conforming. Limitless security is being afraid but doing what we know is the best decision anyway. But on the other side of those challenges, pain, fear, fights and faith is the blessing of security that is limitless.

 

I challenge you to take the challenge.

FEARLESS AND CONFIDENT

Not sure if I told you but I absolutely love the book of Joshua chapter 1 in the bible. Here is the reason why. I exist in a state of fear, and this fear carries over into many decisions or mostly indecisions and at times can be interpreted as being lackadaisical or nonchalant. I hate my fear, I really do. So in 2023 I’m grasping hold of Joshua chapter 1. 

 

Here are some verses to help you in your fight with internal fear and feelings of inferiority:

 

1. Verse 3; "I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses."

 

2. Verse 5; "No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you."

 

3. Verse 6; "Be strong and courageous."

 

4. Verse 7; "Be strong and very courageous.

 

5. Verse 9; Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Be fearless, be confident, be YOU.

One Love

WHAT I DID ON NEW YEARS DAY

It has been a long time since we caught up. I must say, getting to pen and paper these days is hard. However, pen and paper aside I have to say, there are tough times ahead for the American economy and the world economy. As if covid isn't enough, add recession, RSV and the flu, it is tough. 

So this year on January 1st, 2023 my hubby and I decided to work on our monthly budget. We started by writing down all our bills and charitable contributions, our kids extra curricular activities and the list goes on. It was an eye opening experience. I always wrote my bills on paper, in a journal but this time, having both our bills written out on an excel spreadsheet was different. I honestly cannot believe we have been winging it all these years. Guys, if you have been doing this, that’s great, but if you have not, please pull that old computer or tablet out and begin tracking your spending. 

I believe this year is going to be hard for many of us, so it is very important to begin trimming away those extras. 

Another important thing this year has been investments. I am not a financial guru, but I think there are many opportunities for people to build wealth, even despite the current state of the economy. Another important fact is multiple streams of income. After all (in true Jamaican accent) one an caant clap.

Make 2023 the year of your dreams. 

 

One Love
