The Lions Den
There are times when life may try to devour us. We have to take what is thrown at us like the biblical prophet "Daniel" did when thrown to the lions. It may seem as if the latter is impossible to complete. The things that life throws your way. You can catch it and use it to fight through your obstacles. Never feel that your battles will never end. All things come to a end at some point. Keep maneuvering your way through the barriers and continue to rise up.
No goal is to big to accomplish and no dream is unimaginable. Even when thrown to the beast you can fight your way through. The life that you were given has meaning and never waiver from your divine purpose. Make each day about realizing your full potential and importance. No matter the circumstance, things will get greater later. Wake up to enjoy your view!

"Growing Pains"
When I was a kid I never thought that life would be full of errors and problems. You could say I was naive to the things around me. Now that I have matured that has changed. We as individuals make the mistake of sometimes not watering our own growth. We may often fear the unknown and disallow mistakes to happen. Growth often requires maintenance and care of your own qualities. The journey to becoming a greater version of yourself, will not always be easy. There will sometimes be stumbling blocks in the way. Just knock them over and continue to grow into your purpose.
Never give up on who you were created to become. You deserve to have the things in life that you strive for. The finish line is much closer then you may believe. Keep the same pace and never slow your momentum no matter the circumstance. Allow yourself to continue on your journey to your extraordinary greater version. Just make sure you take some time out to enjoy your view.

View From The Top
Often times people will judge you based on their own opinions of who they believe you are. That is the greatest mistake one can make. You never fully get to know a person completely. There will always be unanswered questions about a individual. We all have imperfections and flaws and are uniquely designed. My view from the "6" has allowed me to see the world in a new way. My vision on life has become crystal clear. It has allowed me to experience life in a way i never did before.
I am no longer sitting on my purpose or afraid to be exactly who I am. It is absolutely alright to take chances, do the things you enjoy, venture off. You will begin to see your purpose and what you envisioned your life to be. Stop allowing yourself to worry about the opinions others have to say. Your life is your own embody that. Each of you are greater than you may know. Embrace it and enjoy your view.

The Family Ties
The best feeling that one can have is support and love from family. I have been fortunate enough to have friends who are now family, nieces, nephews and cousins; that support my journey. They each have in many ways supported the message I am trying to convey. I support each of their hard work and diligence. Each of them push me to never give up or give in. Many of them I have watched their growth and persistence to become successful. I commend each of them and do not stop. You control your own vision.
There are times when you may feel you want to throw the towel in and retreat.... No need to! Each of us have purpose and were designed for greatness. That is why it is important to support your family and encourage them to keep the momentum on their goals. No family is perfect or free of error but, it will always remain family. Continue on your road to success and greatness and ,as you travel on that road enjoy your view.

Brother's Keeper
One of the most influential supporters in my life would be my Big Brother Myron. When we were children we would throw punches at each other daily. He pushed me to my limits. He always explained to me that if i can take his punches. That I would be well equipped when the world decides to break me down. It made me stronger and forced me to never give up on anything in life. He taught me that faith and God of all things was first. He would tell me "Little sis do not put your faith in man..put your faith in God". My brother's hard work, dedication, and love for his family has always been extraordinary.
He has always been supportive of my endeavors. He has always been tough on me like a father. I thank him for showing me what drive is. There is no greater feeling then having a brother that will never allow you to be defeated. There are times that we may not take the time out to appreciate our often times; not so pleasant siblings. Show them your love and support while they are still here. Grab a bite to eat or enjoy each others company for a few minutes. Which ever choice you make, maybe you can enjoy your views together.

4 Ever
There comes a time in each individuals life that someone walks in your life and will never walk out. A person that although they battle things each day. They still manage to give you encouragement and support. The person that I am writing about is my sister Latizha ("My Pudd"). She exudes strength and triumph and has overcome so many obstacles. Back in 2005 her and I ran across a empty office space and even then we both had visions of becoming business owners someday. We both are still determined to make our visions become reality.
She has always kept me on my toes and told me to stand up for myself. When it seemed like the rest of the world walked out. She walked in my life and never looked back. I thank you for being supportive and we will continue to uplift each others goals. I am glad that you will forever be apart of my journey. There are times that we take for granted the people that believed in us. I appreciate her for being by my side because we are going to enjoy the best views. I hope everyone will continue on their paths to greatness. While your on your path stop and enjoy your view.

What's Your Story?
It is always a great feeling to have the support of others when your making big steps in your life. When walking on the journey to success and personal growth, it is important to have a support system. There may be people that do not agree with your choices and people that will not celebrate your growth. That should not stop you from continuing on the road to your dreams and desires. I have decided to dedicate some of my future blogs to individuals that have interesting stories and are reaching their goals. My blogs will highlight Artist/Musicians, Business professionals and standout individuals with a testimony. It will take a different turn from my routine blog post but, it is important to celebrate individuals while they are still present in the world. To often people forget that the road to success is not always easy for everyone. Why not take a look at their story. Show support to your friends, family, colleagues and persons in your life. You never know exactly how much of an impact it may cause. Be positive, great and always enjoy the view.

Left Behind
Is the end really upon us? With the 9/23/17 date leaving us behind. We find ourselves still here. The controversy of the expected biblical tribulation date seems to have been a myth. No one will will know the return of the King of kings. No man will know our expiration date on this life. It is important that no matter your beliefs that we be prepared for his return.
The biblical Second Coming of Jesus (Rapture) is said to be two stages. The first stage is the secret rapture. The second is the tribulation a seven year period in which, the said Antichrist will appear. Regardless of your beliefs, it is time to figure out if you will be the one of the ones left behind. No need to be afraid or worry. Instead, stay focused on finding your truth and greater self. No one is perfect and nobody can judge you. Keep enjoying this life and your view.

Lesson Learned
There are times when all of us can be so stubborn and hard headed to life's lessons. It seems like we have to stumble a few times in order to completely regain our composure. We as individuals have control over our own happiness. Over the weekend I came across a dislike from individuals that most of us have in common. Betrayal was an issue that many individuals had a problem with. Once someone betrays you it changes your perspective on them as a person. No one person is perfect but, loyalty is everything in any relationship.
Everyone will make a mistake at some point in their life. You learn from that experience and use discernment when faced with a similar situation. Your focus has to be on your own personal vision. We can only control our own destiny. Continue to spread love,encouragement and positive messages to others. No matter what life has to offer you make the best of it. Always remember loyalty is everything and never make anyone question yours. Take a moment to reflect on the many lessons that life has taught you and, while your reflecting enjoy your view.

Unbreakable Bonds
The most important relationships that i have built in my life were with friends who became family. There is no better feeling in the world then to have long lasting friendships. What is friendship? Well the dictionary refers to it as the emotions or conduct of friends, the state of being friends. What is a sisterhood or brotherhood? A community of people linked together by interest, religion or trade. When something is linked together, it is not easily broken apart.
The individuals that come into your life are key factors to finding your greater self. Not everyone that enters your life is going to stay, but you will learn a lesson from their departure. The people that create elevation and growth are the people you should never take for granted. When you begin your journey to finding your purpose. There will be people removed from your life. Only because they are not going where God is taking you. Don't worry about it to much. God will replace them with individuals who are like minded and, totally get you. One more thing let them know you love and appreciate them and, while your doing that enjoy your view!

Living Positive
Steve Jobs said "The ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do." When i first began blogging, it was just a hobby that i enjoyed from time to time. I thought hey this will never work. I soon learned that there is so much power in words. Why not use this platform to enlighten and empower. Often we get so deterred on finding our self actualization, because the pressures of society sometimes forces us. Honestly, you create your own success. To answer the question who is the mystery professor. I took the liberty of respecting her privacy. She holds a place in my life. The right people in your life can offer the most positive influences.
It is not easy for everyone to keep a positive attitude. Just think about this ,when you got up to start your day there wasn't a button that got you up. That is enough to appreciate every single thing that you have in this life. No one is perfect and i believe we were each uniquely made, to be who we were designed to be. Life was not a choice, it was given to each of us . Why would you not enjoy every single moment of it. Even the not so good parts. Dance in the rain, take trips, live life to the fullest. You just might like the person you have become. Take a moment to enjoy your view.

Awaken
Do you ever feel like you absolutely have no clue what your purpose in life is? Your not alone many people have this conflicting issue everyday. Two years ago i awakened to my purpose in life and haven't looked back since.
A life changing experience brought me into a spiritual awakening in which, i began to understand my purpose and acceptance of things i could not change. If you are unfamiliar with what a spiritual awakening is it refers to, a shift in consciousness of reality. Hypothetically speaking , it means you start to make sense of things you never did before. Not everyone needs a spiritual awakening to find purpose in life. Although, your purpose in life should be centered around love. Not everyone is ready to awake and stay woke. When searching for purpose you have to look beyond your self and begin to understand others perspectives. You should focus on faith, family and what you love to do. These are my views of course, but personally i have learned many of life lessons from other people. Whether you are looking for a purpose or not. It is time for people to awaken and start living the path you were designed to do. It is a journey, but, walk in your purpose, and while your there enjoy your view.

Not everyone needs a spiritual awakening to find purpose in life. Although, your purpose in life should be centered around love. Not everyone is ready to awake and stay woke. When searching for purpose you have to look beyond your self and begin to understand others perspectives. You should focus on faith, family and what you love to do. These are my views of course, but personally i have learned many of life lessons from other people. Whether you are looking for a purpose or not. It is time for people to awaken and start living the path you were designed to do. It is a journey, but, walk in your purpose, and while your there enjoy your view.

Whats Your Mood?
Has there been a time in your life where you cant understand your sadness? The other day a topic between a friend of mine came up about depression. Many people suffer in silence because they don't think there is hope. Well there is hope i overcame depression and you can too. No one has to feel alone, even when there seems like there is no one to turn to. Here are some helpful tips to shake off the heavy burdens and awaken your inner happiness.
1. Meditation and prayer- Each day take a few minutes out of your day to be alone with your thoughts. Focus on self and relax during this time. Allow yourself time to have a personal conversation with your higher being. If your a beginner you can start with five minutes and half lotus; and eventually work your way up. If you’re not familiar with meditation there are many Vlogs and videos online you can search or view.
2. Call up a friend or family member you can vent to. One that will listen and give you a cheerful conversation. That always seems to pull me out of a sad mood.
3. Laughter is always the best medicine- Look at funny videos, search funny jokes or watch a funny movie. A really good laugh will cure almost any somber moment, and critical thoughts. Talk to a friend that you know is gonna give you that laugh you need.
4. Find a hobby or fun activity- Surround yourself around people that share the same interest as you do. If you have children join a play date group. Get involved in groups or go out and have you a dance. Live life and be carefree.
5. Listen to music- Music has a way of rejuvenating the mind and body, cleansing the spirit. It makes you feel good. You can go into your own world and enjoy.
The tips provided may not work for everyone but it has been a form of therapy for me. Everyone has a different level of sadness. You too can overcome depression just like i did. Turn that negative energy into something positive in your life. Try it and see if it works for you. You may begin to see a difference in your mental health. Until next time enjoy your lovely view.

The Leap
Have you ever wondered what exactly is your purpose or niche? Well i started off wanting to help others. I never really gained a sense of self until recently. I was told by a Professor of mine that i should become a writer. Me a writer? She couldn't be serious right. Apparently, a paper that i had written for a English writing course had her taken aback. I always joked around and said i wanted to write a book some day. Well that's coming soon one day. She inspired me ( i wont mention her name) that there is so much power in words. I always felt judged by others, but i realize now that my life isn't about other people. When it is your time to leap into yourself and exit out of ridicule and, self regret you find your sense of purpose.
I started blogging recently and didn't think twice about doing something i enjoy. You just have to find your niche. What you want to do with your life. Ultimately, it will be one of the biggest decisions that you make for yourself. We all have a platform, its up to you to decide which way you want to use it. Never be afraid of failure or an inability to go through with a plan. There will always be a critic, who cares about that. There wont be much to laugh about once your depositing checks. Better yet signing them for employees. We all have potential to be great turn a hobby into a hustle, turn a job into a career. Continue to learn and grow and most importantly support your own dream. Take the leap, Until next time enjoy your lovely view!

2. Bad mouths you constantly-
No one should endure being talked down to. Your a human and you deserve respect. If everything you do is a insult. Remove yourself from the situation before it is too late.

4. Abuse- The first sign of f abuse is stripping you from your support system. Abuse of any kind is not good and you need to get out.
