SHONSPEAKS

Sometimes life throws you curve balls, and sometimes life just gives you an opportunity to be true to emotions you have always felt.  It is what it is and only you know what is true.

I grew up believing God was testing me; then life was testing me.  I now view life as shear opportunity and my view of self and my interaction (perception and interpretation) with life's opportunities to experience is the designer.  Be very selfish in your interpretation and perspective.  They should always serve your being the you that you say you are.  Life is merely the base for you to create your best life and be true to who you say you are.

No one is mad at god. Nobody at church hurt me.  I left Christianity because of growth and an awareness that I no longer needed to be psychologically manipulated to live right as I value what right is, to love others as I understand love to be of myself and of others and to understand that life is precious and should be appreciated and enjoyed to the full.   Leaving Christianity brought an inner feeling of freedom that really can only be experienced and very hard to explain.  But Jennifer Fishburne's video on "Why I left Christianity" that she released is a great explanation to anyone finding themselves no longer as as connected to Christianity or religion in general as they once were.  Here is a link to Jennifer Fishburne's video and I highly suggest you watch:  https://youtu.be/yfdvTpxeLSE   

You are not alone, and you don't have to find some reason to be mad at the church, the pastor, other people or even god to just GROW pass needing something.  You have a greatness within you that needs your attention now.  You are on land and you no longer need the raft on your back.  Live your life.     

Cheryl Sosnowski with Create Space Studio interviews ShonSpeaks on being a powerful creator.  One of the first steps to being a powerful creator of the life you want to live is to honor with integrity who you are and who you are choosing to become. You have choice no matter how powerless you may feel today, no matter how absolute the limitations of what others have said about you seems true, and no matter how opposite your life may be right now from your greatest dreams.  You hold the power but it starts with self-acceptance.  Acknowledge the 3 main alibis  ((1) playing the victim (2) casting judgment and (3) blame ))  we all use or have used as our valid excuses for not living our greatest dreams and surrender to the truth and untruth of those excuse that have kept you from honoring with self-expression your truer self.

Is it your passions or your desire to possess? Let's talk about it. 

Sometimes to live your best life takes courage.  Hopefully this helps a little to give you courage to do (or to feel) today what you were afraid to do (or feel) yesterday.

Whatever your hurdles, whatever your history, you have a right to live your greatest dreams and write your own script for the story you want to tell (or sing)  about yourself today.  Singer songwriter LaShonda Schofield shares her story, her music and her passions that inspires us all to live our greatest dreams.

As you move into this new year we call 2021, be more available to know yourself. 

Loving yourself fully is the best way to love another. Sincere love with another starts and ends with you. You are the factor that is in all of your love relationship.

Having a closer relationship with yourself is critical to living the life you want.  Sometimes however we find ourselves on a loop of deficiency, never feeling good enough to love how we want, never feeling blessed enough to have our finances the way we want, and never feeling bold enough to create the life we want.  Some of us have gotten used to wanting but never having, hoping but never experiencing, and living but never enjoying life.   Sometimes we have to take time to brainstorm ourselves to uncover our wants but then merge our wants into our being.

Learning to just be you can be hard working because the automatic systems in our mind have us beholden to belief systems and thinking patterns that don't get us the life we really want.  You have to be dedicated to being you and let's face it sometimes we treat ourselves like the enemy.  In order to stop that we have to change the abstractions that are controlling our inner systems about who we are and can be.  To read the full blog, go to freeyourthinkingmind.com

IT'S UP TO US TO CHANGE OUR THINKING ABOUT OURSELVES 

Keep trying to be who you want to be.  Keep trying to achieve what you want to achieve.  Let only death be the barrier that stops you in this lifetime.  Don't give up.

All is fair in life and business they say, but got damn some things really hurt.  We have to learn how to expand pass the hurt. 

Is America really a melting pot? If yes, then why are will still tackling with racism and police brutality against blacks in 2020? Could it be that racism is only the symptom of a greater cause?  It's undeniable that white privilege exist in America, not because it's the will of some benevolent super daddy as I was taught growing up, but because humans built a system of laws on top of laws that intentionally and barbarically elevated and biased the minds of one group of people as white and superior over another group of people, as niggers and inferior.  And this distorted mentality on both sides have been passed down through the generations as righteous, destiny, and impenetrable. It's time that we manifest a new destiny!
