Happy Sunday!!! 25:08:13

Happy Sunday!! I think we need to stop and think about the reasons why we do what we do when we do them. It is not right to live our lives letting everyone else dictate to us on what to do to make them happy and not God or even ourselves. We need to realize that in other to be a God pleaser we cannot be a self-pleaser or a people pleaser. Everybody wants to have an opinion about what you should do…..I can’t just do what everybody wants me to do and please them because most times I’m not even pleasing God as a result. We need to live a life that is pleasing to God. Healthy people know they have faults and don’t feel like they have them, you don’t have to pretend to be perfect especially when speaking to sick people. Everybody has got stuff wrong with them but nobody wants anybody to know….I believe that we need to not only need to know who we are in Christ, we also need to know our weaknesses and admit them and know that we need eachother in life. We also need to be careful with our hearts and how much expectation we have.If you have got ur expectation in God, even when someone isn’t treating you right, you trust that God will take you out of it and not keep a grudge that could likely take you to hell. Sometimes we expect so much from people and when they let us down as humans we get heartbroken. Im not saying don’t trust anyone but give humans some slack and lay it down to God. When you trust God 100% you won’t have trust issues with humans. No one owes you anything, we are all bound to sin..struggling with the good and the bad….give all your trust to God and He will take care of you. I care most about what God thinks and not what humans think. No matter what you do if someone wants to think bad about you, they will. Cos if it’s not one thing, its another. Cos no matter how good you do there will always be one thing you lack. Why will God leave us with one thing we lack cos He wants us to need eachother. No man is an island and God made us all to help each other. We need to do goodworks with the right motive, we need to do what we do as unto the Lord desiring to please Him and we should not do anything to please people. We need to learn to hear from God for ourselves than always asking people all the time too. Cos not everyone has been gifted to hear from God and definitely not on your behalf.There are so many right things we do for the wrong reasons. For example some of us go to church every Sunday and its not for God. I want to do everything I do in honour of the Lord, eat,drink,go out, sleep, die…everything I do I want to do all I do in honour of the Lord and as my friend I want you to do same too. I belong to God and I’m suppose to live for Him and if what im doing is not to His glory then I rather not do it right? I cannot stress about how important it is to please God and not man….Alot of the times you wont be able to please people and God at the same time, its better for man to be displeased with you than God.Sometimes we do things cos we’re hoping to be well thought of. Even in prayer, some people pray out loud not for God but for people to hear and sometimes God will ask “ child are you talking to me or them” seriously we need to get our motive right and we will live a better life on earth. We need to fight the flesh more than we are fighting now,that is the essense of fasting….less of the flesh and more of the Spirit cos whether we like it or not our flesh is tough and more that 80% of the time we want to do what the flesh wants. It doesn’t make any sense the things we do sometimes just to keep people happy. So we have to think about why we do what we do. Have a blessed week ahead and remember to do all that you do for God.

Happy Sunday!! 4:8:13

Happy Sunday!!Have u ever felt like exploding? You know like those moments when you really put yourself on the line. When you really feel stressed out or pushed beyond your limits and think you might have gone too far or taken on too much. I always hate situations like this and I try to do everything to avoid it.But soon I realized that it helps me grow…being pushed to the wall helps us grow. Its those moments of being uncomfortable and being uneasy that defines us. We all don’t like to be pushed to the wall, we don’t like to get uncomfortable, we don’t like to put ourselves on the line-and yet-it is exactly these things that help us grow, be happy, have purpose and find fulfillment.The only way you can truly be happy,the only way we can truly find fulfillment is to grow because progress is happiness. Its not even about the end goal most of the time, its about making progress towards that goal that makes us come alive.When we look at the things in our life that our heart desires, we tend to choose the seemingly safe route and then justify why we cant have what we want. But really if we could just find the faith to face uncertainty, to step out and try new things and then learn from our mistakes-life would definitely change. I have learnt to embrace challenges as a natural part of life and a required part of living at my highest potential. Now when I am pushed, I don’t stop, I keep going and I know that the pressure being on is a great thing, it means I am putting my life on the line for something I believe in and there is no greater act of faith than really putting yourself out there for those that you believe in.God has never failed me even tho it looks that way attimes, but I know He hasn’t, my faith in Him has kept me going and I am sure without an iota of doubt that I will fulfil purpose on this earth regardless of the setbacks and I want you to feel the same way too. Have a blessed week ahead..Maamamia

Happy Sunday!! 28:07:13

Happy Sunday!! Its really heartbreaking when i see or hear people settling for the first thing that comes along.Settling is a symptom of lack of faith. We are the co-creators of our lives, which means we, in agreement with God, can consciously design what kind of life we want to live. If we consciously design our lives, then why take a job that makes you feel miserable? Why enter a relationship with someone who doesn't value and cherish you? Why tolerate undesirable circumstances? God doesn't award points for unnecessary suffering or low self-esteem. We are Loved by God no matter what, but we were born to live a fulfilled life.This cannot happen if we settle. If you need money and don't have enough to live your own dream, then you may have to get a job you don't love, but you have the choice to choose the circumstances. You can design your life to make money and express yourself. You can also choose to see challenging job circumstances as opportunities to grow and be grateful for the contrast of not getting what you want, so you can design what you do want.U get?Since you are the co-creator of your circumstances and how you respond to them, you get to actively choose what you do with your free time, how you interpret the events of your life and what your final goal is. A dead end job isn't dead end if it’s helping pay your bills while you construct your masterpiece. Annoying coworkers aren't annoying if you can see them as helping teach you love, self-love,patience and acceptance.Regarding dating, we all date at the level of our self-esteem like i ALWAYS say. So if you're not getting what you truly desire from your relationship, look into the true motives about why you choose who you choose.Having high standards and not settling requires us to spend more time with and on ourselves, becoming the people it takes to create the life of our dreams. We don't allow fearful or manipulative people, places and circumstances to dictate our outcome. We'd rather walk alone than with someone who drains us.You have the same 24 hours in your day as everyone else. You have the same opportunity to apply an empowering and loving meaning to the events and circumstances of your life. You have the opportunity to raise your self-esteem and date at the level of love and vulnerability rather than fear and manipulation. You have the power to enjoy your experience regardless of circumstances. It is well  have a blessed week ahead. Maamamia xx PS: Please join us as we try to make a difference .

Happy Sunday!! 21:07:13

Happy Sunday...Love is complete.Your friends,family,spouses don't "complete you" your relationships should be a reflection of you.Be whole, not a half.So many people run around looking for someone "to complete them." But the thing is, everyone is fallible, so no one can complete you and ever live up to your expectations. That is why it is so important to keep our eyes on God and His Love for us. The Love of God never changes. Other people change, other people mess up, but God is constantly on our side, Loving us and showing us how we can grow even closer to happiness and Love.Our aim should be to not seek and chase for Love, but to BE IT. This means self-love first. True Love isn't setting HUGE expectations on someone else that they always make you happy and fulfilled.True Love is being so full of self-love and the Love of God that you have more than enough Love to hold your own darkness and light and the darkness and light of the other people.Looking for someone to complete you is to deny your innate potential to be an already full and integrated human-being. You are giving someone else a power that only you have.Also, making someone else the source of your fulfilment means that if they are not having a good day, acting in integrity or desiring to grow, then you are also doing the same. It's a giant anchor holding you down.In relationships, we either grow together or we grow apart like I have grown apart from someone in my life recently. God is constantly guiding us to greater and greater awareness of ourselves and as a result our Highest Potential. Relationships are containers for growth, not containers for proving how much pain you can endure for someone else.When we make someone else the only thing that completes us, we can easily blame them, but the blame belongs on us for giving them that power in the first place.Let's take our power back and take our eyes off of ourselves and our partners and friends and remember the Source from which we came and which we are all a part of right now. We are a drop of water coming home to the beautiful ocean from which we came. In doing so, we can merge into a wave and do far more connected to this Source than we ever could do alone or with another person. Have a blessed week ahead and read this message again. Maamamia xxx

Happy Sunday!!! 14:7:13

Happy Sunday!!Being a loving person doesn't mean you are a fool like some people might believe. In fact, many times the loving thing to do is to set boundaries.

As with everything I tell myself, the key is balance. Too many boundaries and you close off; no boundaries and you lose yourself.
 As I continue to grow, my time is getting slimmer and slimmer. And more people are asking for it. I am such a people pleaser; I want to help everyone and make as many people happy as possible.
 I have been like this my whole life. I have an innate desire to help other people, especially those who are down and out. I love seeing people step up into their power and become happy and fulfilled. I learnt at a young age that I have a desire to help make other people happy. However, as I grew into adulthood and then embraced being an entrepreneur, I had to learn a valuable lesson: the boundaries of self-love.

In the past, I had a lot of relationships where I sunk a lot into other people's dreams. I had a lot of personal relationships where I would invest in other people. Some people turned out to be positive investments and some turned out to be not-so-positive investments. No matter what, there was always a lesson that I was grateful for.
I learnt another lesson this month with a person i believed was a sister who was more than a friend and a family member that people are just out rightly UNGRATEFUL and just cos you’ve known someone for a long time and shared experiences with them doesn’t make them love or trust you. Some are just waiting for one day to show you what they truly feel about you. This was a painful and crippling lesson for me to learn, both emotionally,physically, spiritually and financially. But I am glad.

Of course it is in giving that we receive, but that starts with ourselves. If we are not full, we will have nothing to give away. I learnt that boundaries are very important. I learnt that I had to be fulfilled before I could be fulfilling in any relationship or partnership.

I learnt this lesson through pain, but it has since become a path of joy. My ego hated the transformation from that dark place to my life now, but each time my ego got mad, my Spirit celebrated.

Now, I am living my dream. It started through self-love, then grew from giving that love away and is sustained by a balance of giving to myself and to others. I have never experienced more consistent joy in my life as a result of those painful moments and I would do them all over again if I had too, because on the other side, life is beautiful and sweet. Have a lovely week ahead and remember to set boundaries….Maamamia xxx

Happy Sunday!!! 7:7:13

Happy Sunday!! There is a major difference between trying to prove your love and simply sharing your love.I can't tell you how many times I have in the past tried to prove my love. I've tried to show people how worthy I am, how loving I am, how real I am.I realized that I kept doing this because I had yet to truly realize how worthy, loving and real I was. If I had really known this, I wouldn't have been trying to prove it to other people.A lot of people suffer from trying to prove themselves to unavailable people.RUBBISH!!Here's an exercise:Make a list of all the things you wish other people would see about you. You wish they would see how loving, supporting, caring, faithful,hardworking etc. you are... Make the list...Now, ask yourself if you are demonstrating these qualities towards yourself? The answer is probably no for some or all of the qualities you listed.So, how would you act if you were actually demonstrating these qualities? That version of you is who will attract people who see you. When you see you, other people will too.Then, you can SHARE your gifts, your love and your worth with them and receive their worth, gifts and love. This is massively different than trying to prove yourself to someone else.When we try to prove ourselves to others, it is because we do not see our great qualities and are not giving these qualities to ourselves. Once we do, we step into a new paradigm and walk away from trying to prove ourselves and step into just being ourselves.Then love and authenticity can emerge.So I urge you today to start being what you want others to see to yourself, that way you would be able to deal with those who do not appreciate you and those who appreciate you :) Have a blessed week ahead and keep winning...Maamamia xx

Happy Sunday!!! 30:06:13

Happy Sunday!!! I had a very interesting conversation with a guy I just met today. The desire that you have in your soul to become whatever you want to become is real. It’s a part of you that is calling out to be seen, heard, felt and acted on. Whatever you want to become, know this: you ALREADY ARE. So stop trying to become it. Instead of having doubts-start taking action as if you already are what you want to become. Start putting yourself in places and environments that are in alignment with your dreams. Want to be a writer?  Start taking actions that writers do (like WRITE) and be in environments that writers are in. Want to lose weight? Put yourself in health and fitness environments. Stop eating junk and start gyming. Don’t bring unhealthy food into your house.Our environment, far greater than anything else, dictates the quality of our lives. If you want to be a painter, go be with painters and start creating rituals that a painter would have. If you want to start a business, be around other entrepreneurs, absorb news on entrepreneurs and get busy taking risks like entrepreneurs do. Also, and this is VERY important - surround yourself with people who already have what you want. If you hang out with people who have never achieved the dream you’re dreaming - they are probably going to give you bad advice. Most people aren’t living their dream - most people are living their nightmare and so they will give you advice on how to live your nightmare, too. Environment plays a major role in how your life will turn out - so does the type of people you are hanging with. If you want your dreams to come true, start hanging in places where they already are and with people who can help guide your way. It’s possible to achieve your dreams; you just have to make sure you are on the side of making them come true, instead of doubting that they exist. Show people who are living their nightmare that it’s totally possible to live their dreams by showing them yours. Be a light. Know that you already are the dream and start taking action until you produce the result in real life. Keep going. Try until it happens and don’t stop until then. Most importantly pray always. Have a blessed week ahead..Maamamia xx
