Mountains stand in the way between you and your goals. Mountains allow you to turn your adversity into opportunity. You may want to quit. No matter what happens, Keep Going! Listen to that little voice that says, YOU CAN DO IT!!! Focus on your race. Once you conquer “The Mountain”, all of your struggles and obstacles that seemed so BIG, become so SMALL, and magically disappear in the distance. The journey to the top of the mountain, allows the opportunity to look back, and reflect at how far you have truly come. Look past the mountains, embody your destiny, and seize New vision.

The “Light” is always at the end of the tunnel. During our darkest moments in life, we emphasize distance in darkness, rather than the staggering journey traveled without Protected Light. Every dark situation has an expiration date, it’s called Day Break. You know what never expires? Your Inner Light. Focused Light shortens your journey through darkness. Shine the Light within You and Commit to Life!

Who are you? (Pause ...... Process) What if, your “Self-ie” showed the real you? What if, what was in your TRUE CHARACTER, was displayed all over the image you wanted to post. Would you post it? Beyond the grandeur, Do you like what you see captured in your own Selfie? Selfies are not a measure of reality. Instead of capturing moments, LIVE in that moment! Take a moment, to have a moment. Become Present and Be Self.........No “IE”.

There’s a cycle in life that we all go through.......The Bitter Suite likes to call it “I - We - I”. It’s a concept where everyone is longing to be in a relationship with another person; A (We). However, the cycle we often find ourselves in is going from a state of I.........back to an I. The “We” just doesn’t seem to be working. Why is that? We are too busy focusing on the things we can’t change in someone else, or more importantly ourselves. Women: you can’t change him! Men: you can’t change her! The only person that you can change is yourself! Until we get it right at the “I” Level, we will never be able to appreciate the “We” Level! Consequently, finding ourselves back where we started in the first place.....with “I”.

February 31st is a day that is not on the physical calendar; however it is on our mental calendars.

February 31st is a could’ve, should’ve, would’ve moment we actually look forward to, but most don’t get their lives in order before time runs out.
