Making Moves MONDAY

You know what today is?

Making Moves MONDAY!! 

And Ironically, it's also MLK DAY!! 

And the Crowd Goes WILD!!! 

The life and legacy of the great Dr. Martin Luther King are a testament in themselves. 

And I believe He is proof positive that we are ALL destined to do something great on this earth! 

The question is, do we LIVE our lives with this sense of great accomplishment in mind?  

Do you wake up 'on purpose'? 

Or do you just wake up? 

With your same laundry list of  'things to do' 

And once it's exhausted, you refresh it and do IT ALL AGAIN Tomorrow? 

It's a still a New Year, right? 

Which means we STILL have time! 

Time to PIVOT in our thinking 

PRIORITIZE of Time

Create a PLAN of action 

For a PURPOSE driven Life! 

Sis! 

It's TIME To Make.... that..... Move! 

CHECK IN 1: Are you 'working to LIVE' or 'living to WORK'? 

Many of us may not even know the difference.  

Perhaps, I should ask this question another way.

How would you live today, if you knew you would die tomorrow? 

Because I don't know about you, but I hate to waste time! 

Seriously. 

Maybe it's part of the natural aging process? 

All I know is I have a very small threshold, for DOING anything without striving to get RESULTS. 

Because that's wasting time!  

Isn't it also a waste of time to continue to DO work that is meaningless? 

Or to only DO something for money? 

You know you make money anywhere? 

So why waste countless hours, selling your time for money...

When you have so MUCH MORE to offer than just hours in a day? 

Your time is valuable, Sis. 

If Dr. King had a DREAM, that changed his world and all those around him.

What makes you any different? 

What if, instead of just focusing on 'Working to Live'   

You intentionally focused on finding  your 'Sweet Spot' in the world.. 

You know that space where you flourish naturally

Soar mentally 

AND change the entire GAME exponentially! 

That's your purpose, Sis! 

The place where only you can do, what you do, the way you do. 

So get there and STAY THERE! 

And I GUARANTEE that when you do, 

You will CHANGE your WORLD and ALL those around you!  

But first, you gotta Make that MOVE! 

CHECK IN 2: Are you 'Eating to live' or 'Living to Eat' ?  

This question may sound similar to the last one 

But I really need you to pivot how you view it. 

Confession: I LOVE food, Sis! 

And if any of you are like me, you need 3 meals plus snacks, okay?  

But this question is not only about physical food. 

What about mental food? Emotional food or spiritual food? 

We should be feeding on these daily as well. 

3 meals plus snacks, right?  

Did you know that how you feed these, also impacts how you live? 

So the question remains... Am I 'eating to live' or 'living to eat'? 

Because, if I don't feed myself mentally, how can I grow intellectually or interpersonally? 

If I don't feed myself spiritually, how do I grow in terms of faith, or morally? 

And if I only feed my emotions with things that are externally stimulating 

Or satisfy my desires...

Is this 'eating to live' or 'living to eat'? 

Isaiah reminds us of this powerful truth in 55:2 

  " Why do you spend money on that which is NOT bread, and you labor on that which does not satisfy?  Listen to me, and eat what is good....." 

Bottom line is, WE are becoming whatever we FEED on Ladies. 

So what are we becoming? 

In the 'short' time that Dr. King had on this earth  

He became a Man of GREATNESS 

Because He fed himself mentally, he completing his Doctorate degree 

which led to him feeding himself emotionally, by becoming a husband and father 

which led to him Pastoring the Ebenezer Baptist Church

Where he continued to feed him spiritually until he became 

A Global Leader of Change during the civil rights movement! 

In short, HE 'Worked to Live' a life of purpose, instead of 'Living to Work"!  

Do We? 

The clock is ticking, Ladies.

And the days are not promised, nor the hours guaranteed.

How you spend the time you have left, is indicative on what move you choose to make 

TODAY. 

As as the world continues to turn and we continue to grow older gracefully 

And we do. (Smile) 

Will we continue to coast on our successes of last year? 

Wallow in our indifference of indecision this year? 

Make excuses for inaction? 

Or is it time to MAKE A MOVE!  

Until next time....
