Believe it or not I have felt like quitting. What? The Empowerment Diva?
Yes, moi. However, I do feel blessed to have conquered many fears, opportunities to lose hope and throw in the towel. How? My faith, life skills, embracing the process, mastering my mindset, having an appreciation of life, embracing an attitude of gratitude, being authentic, giving value,being committed to my core values, connecting with mentors, loving and being loved by my family and more!
I’d like to dedicate this poem to you. Whatever you do get clarity of your purpose, goals and be a tenacious woman with a resolve of no retreat. Stand strong in your faith and embrace Divine influence.
Keep learning. Keep reaching. Don’t be an island. Connect to an accountability partner.Don’t be afraid to let go of Dream killers, toxic and negative people. Live long and prosper “spirit, soul and body.”
You can make it. Soar above your challenges and manifest “Your Diamond Life!”
Don’t Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
For life is queer with it’s twist and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he’d stuck it out.
Success is just failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the cloud of doubt.
And you never can tell how close
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit,
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit!

Say this “I will not quit. I have everything I need within me.
If I just don’t quit. The best is yet to come.
I will not quit!”

"Keep on going and the chances are you
will stumble on something, perhaps when
you are least expecting it. I have never
heard of anyone stumbling on something sitting
down." __Charles F. Kettering
I want you to do something for me right
now. Drop a piece of paper on the floor,
that's right drop it right beside you
on the floor.
Try to pick it up. Did you do it?
What's that in your hand? I said
try to pick it up. No, put it down and
try as hard as you can, I didn't say pick
it up I said try to pick it up. That piece
of paper is not going to get up by itself,
you've got to pick it up, however, you won't
pick it up by continuing to try you have to
simply pick it up.
Believe it or not that's
what many of us are doing with our lives.
We leave ourselves an out by using the ever-popular
words "I'll try." If you really want to go
somewhere you've never been, do something
you've never done and receive something you've
never received, as the previous exercise
demonstrated trying is not enough.
If you want to turbo charge down the
road of success, eliminate those two
words. Did you know it is a subtle form
of procrastination. If you know that you
are unable to honor a request simply say
that. Otherwise let your yes, be yes and
your no….. that's right be no.
Start speaking in the now! Go ahead contact
the college today and tell them "I'm
completing my degree, what steps do I take
to continue with (input name of college or
university). Next time your Father God requests
more time with you, don't reply "Lord, you know
I'm trying." Yes, He does and this is why He
continues to draw you, He's saying, "just do it!"
Prosperity entails more than material things
it is a state of mind. If you're going to realize
prosperity "spirit, soul and body" you must
stop trying and do it NOW. Look at it like
this, imagine Father God listening to the
many prayers that we His children send up
and He hears one special urgent plea from you,
He knows it's been 3 months and you're running
out of time but He simply replies with a sigh…..
Yes, my love I hear you, I'll try to get to you
soon. (smile) Somehow a statement that
includes the word try is not as convincing
as I'll get to you soon.
That's just not good enough is it? Well, don't
settle for any less for yourself.
When's the last time you embraced the word of
God? Stop trying, and just do it! Your life
depends on it.
This book of the law shall not depart out of
thy mouth; but you shall meditate therein day
and night, that thou mayest observe to do
according to all that is written therein:
for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success.
Joshua 1:8
Stop trying. "Just do it!"

Happy Monday, ladies!
You may not know it, but I'm a huge fan of America's Next Top Model, and I have been since it first aired back in 2003. The season 14 premiere was a couple of weeks ago, and one contestant, Krista, really stood out to me because she said she tried out for ANTM for most, if not all, seasons-- that's seven years!
Most people would have given up after the first year, and while I agree you should know when to go for a different goal, you shouldn't be so quick to give up on it- especially if it's your dream and something you're really passionate about.
Becoming successful and living your dreams takes time and work, and I think Krista really proves that. Modeling is a cut-throat industry, but she came back year after year to go after what she really wanted' and she ultimately got a spot on the show. Even if she doesn't win the title, I think she'll still be a successful model because she seems to be that determined.
What can we learn? If being an entrepreneur is your goal and you know it's what you were put here to do, don't give up until you get there.
