Enhance your life

You learn more when you are taking what you are learning seriously. You learn more when you are studying. Studying doesn’t always mean preparing for a test. You can read about Macroeconomics and what you learn from the reading is considered studying. 

I believe it is interesting and thought provoking when you study a whole new topic or a random topic and sit back and learn something new. You never know how what you learn can be useful in your current life.

It is wonderful to have knowledge from college or learning something new. It gives a certain spice to your life. Life can be a thrill but at the end of the day; it can become boring and lackluster real quick without studying something new. I am a witness to this personally. Reading is fundamental. Knowledge is power. 

You can enhance your life and you can brigthen your day by just doing something different from your norm. I have tried it and it was ofd at first but it has made my life more fun. Studying is not just for nerds; it is for everybody to make use of. You can grow from enriching your life. Start today and study a new topic.

“ Hispanics should work harder“ says Tom Brokaw

This was disappointing from someone who should know better. The only thing I could think is that he is either prejudice or racist towards Spanish people.

Three’s a company at B. Smith’s home with her Husband and his white mistress

Credit: Funky Dineva

This is one of the worst stories I have ever heard about in regards to marriages. Please listen to the video above to learn more opinions on the matter. I pray that the husband does the right thing and divorce his ailing wife. Then it would be okay for him to date another woman. But to stay married and move in your white mistress under the same room as your sick wife is super disrespectful. What kind of man is okay with having sex with his mistress while his wife sleeps in another room? That is so crazy and disturbing on so many levels. Pray for all of them. They need it badly.

DMX made some wild allegations against the self proclaimed King of R&B, R. Kelly. What do you think of this story? Why was this kept on the hush hush for so many years? Have you muted R Kelly?

5 Signs You’re Doing Better than you think you are:

Think positive thoughts the next time a negative thought pops up in your brain. You were created with love. No matter what you are going through, love conquers all. Love trumps hate. Love is in you.

1. What were you doing a year ago? Would you be proud about it? Life throws us curve balls but in the end we hit home runs. Look at every experience as a lesson, in that way you never live with regrets. Acknowledge your progress and never look back because you should be focused on your present and/or future.

2. In life, you should have goals that you not only set but you keep. One of the best feelings that I have ever had in my life is when I succeed in accomplishing my goals especially long term goals. Without goals, that means you do not have direction or a purpose in what you want to do today nor tomorrow. Please do not live life without direction or purpose. 

3. Some may be ashamed that they suffer from depression, anxiety, PTSD, job loss, death in the family or any other hardships. You are enough. You’re an overcomer. Trials and tribulations have made me a much tougher and stronger human being. I feel like I am able to handle a whole lot before feeling like I will have a breakdown,etc. Don’t feel bad because you are struggling with something. God will not give us anything that we cannot handle.

4. I just feel bad for years that I wasn’t as popular as my siblings who always had so much more friends than I ever did. I may not have traveled with friends but other than that; I feel like I have lived a fulfilled life with my couple of close friends. I am in the process of making new friends every week. I am a people person so making friends don’t come hard but finding a quality friend is almost a nightmare at times.

5. God has a lot in store not just for me but for you too. If you do not believe in God then you may not get the empowerment of that message. God makes all things possible and will provide for you. With God, you do not have to worry and you can keep the faith and hope that you will be blessed beyond measure.

Get Out (Ephesians 6:11)

Credit: YouVersion App

God is the joy and the strength of my life. He moves all pain, misery and strife. He can protect me from the devil’s devilish ways. I surrender all to him. 

There are days when you think you can’t overcome from your darkest hour. But don’t forget that joy cometh in the morning and you will be just fine. I tend to overthink and because of that it causes me to not trust or have faith all the time. 

As part of my New Year’s resolution, I am reading the entire bible in a year. I have grown closer to the lord and I am even having quick bible studies about what I read with family. These stories are sad, overwhelming, amazing and inspiring. 

I promise you if you grow closer with the lord; you will see life in a new pair of lens. I am more trusting now. I am not overthinking as much as I used to. Things are going so much better for me even though I go through hardships. God is the ultimate protector. You do not have to worry when he is for you. When Jesus says yes, nobody can say no.

                                       Picture: President @BarackObama

This is an interesting list by President Obama. I agree with some of his selections. I am shocked by the rest of the list. This is what I will do in this post. If I say AGREE then I agree with the former President's selection in song. If I didn't list the song below then I do not know the song and therefore cannot critic it. If I say DISAGREE then I totally dislike the song,

* Apes..t by The Carters                                         DISAGREE
* I like it by Cardi B                                               AGREE

Shoutout to Cardi B who re-shared this picture on her IG. This list was filled with songs from artists that I did not know existed. If I have the time then I will definitely take a look at them in the future. I disagreed with the Carters' Apes**t as a Favorite song of 2018 because it does not fit the new age of music to me. I see them as desperately trying to be cool on that record. I prefer Cardi B any day over the duo called The Carters because she exudes personality and doesn't sound like she is fake or forcing it. It is natural for Cardi B to entertain a crowd. You go girl!!

ReAnNe'S cOrNeR #1

We are almost in the New Year. Did you make any New Year's resolutions yet? If you are goal-oriented then you probably love making New Year's resolutions. I see them as left over goals from the previous year that is very vital in achieving your aspirations.

Some may say that it is not important to them and everyone is entitled to their freedom of speech. I get very happy and feel very good every time I achieve and surpass my goals.

                                     Picture: taken by Reanne C

Here I have listed some goals that are leftover from 2018 and new ones for 2019. It is important to know which way you are going in life. Goals help me in determining if I am on the right path or not. I hope you get your goals accomplished in 2019. 2019 is hopefully going to be an even better year than 2018.

List some of your goals and New Year's resolutions below for 2019.

The price you pay for being viral

I aspire to be viral. I think every single human secretly don’t mind being viral either. 

There are restaurants and other companies who went viral and they loved it. But some of them caught lawsuits after going viral. 

This is why we should not look at being viral as always being a positive experience. There are times things can go bad to worse after going viral. It is not even a rare situation unfortunately.

You can go from an unknown who pulls in $40k a year to a viral influencer/business that gets $400k a year. Life can throw more hurdles your way now that you are making more money. Let’s say you make $40k after taxes but with no lawsuits. If you now make $400k after taxes but suddenly you get hit with $350k in lawsuits and you lose all your cases. Now which do you consider a better life to have at this point.

Do you still aim to be viral? Do you have lawyers ready for the what ifs? Do you now reconsider the price you pay for going viral? Is it worth it?

Believe in yourself

Are you goal-oriented? Do you have a relationship with God? Are you self motivated? 

You may not realize it but there are signs to remind you that you are on track. If nobody else believes in your goals, don’t stop believing in it.

You have made changes in your life that is noticeable to others even your haters. Don’t see the glass as half empty! You have made significant growth from where you were last year. 

Goals show that you are making choices to accomplish something. You have set goals and are close to finishing them or you may have completed some by now. Don’t let no one make you feel less than when the goals aren’t complete!

Trials and tribulations did not break you in a million pieces. You have cried about it, you may have even cursed someone out in a harsh mood swing argument yet you see it clearly how life is worth living.

Quality is much better than quantity. If having one, two or three close friends makes you happy, then if it isn’t broke don’t fix it. People who have a million friends are blinded by the real reality of who is there for the right reasons. 

God is a fixture in your life. You have faith in God and pray about what you may want in life. 

Where you are is not always where you want to be. You always have to keep up with being true to yourself no matter how fat your pockets get.

I understand things are easier said than done but with God in your life, you can accomplish anything that you seek your mind to do. Prayers to everyone in need.

It was meant to be?

The way we look at issues can help to dictate the direction of where we are going in life. Don’t try so hard. You may overlook the outcome that you seek.

It was meant to be. Right?! That is what we start thinking about when the hurt kicks in. Some may choose to cry, laugh, or even use substances all in an effort to express how the pain makes them feel. It is natural to cry. It is natural to laugh. But it is not natural to use drugs or alcohol to supress your pain and hurt. Things are meant to happen for a reason and when you truly believe that then you will stop crying. 

The moment you smile you are no longer giving power to your pain. Life should carry on as if no pain occurred but never forget what happened in order to make sure you have learned your lesson. You went through it but you should be grateful that you made it through the storm. 

I understand things are easier said than done but with God in your life, you can accomplish anything that you seek your mind to do. Prayers to everyone in need.
