Take Inventory!

There comes a time when, you have to do some inventory on the people in your life. Are you surrounded by loving supportive people or are half the people you hang with doubtful and skeptical of you and your dream? We often entertain bad treatment from others to get along or fit in, but the real issue is that we tolerate their ridicule and keep them as so called friends. This is not recess and life is truly no play ground, our time should not be wasted explaining our desire to be more. There is a classic crab in the bucket mentality that wants to keep you in, as you’re trying to climb out! Your seeds of work, faith and belief should not be scattered on shallow ground, be mindful of where you are trying to deposit your dreams. As in any crop if the ground is constantly being washed over by a sea of negativity, each idea or goal you plant will float away. Take inventory of how many of your inner circle folks are in agreement with you or are they throwing salt and roadblocks to slow you down? The enemy is crafty he is not past using family and friends to mess with your mind and deposit doubt and disbelief in your mind. If criticism is always prevalent or close when a certain friend or family member is around, then you may need to limit your visits or learn to keep your seeds covered. When you are working hard to cultivate your garden of dreams and ideas, it’s always best to find a safe environment that you can trust, to give yourself a chance to plant your harvest and watch it grow. When you learn to respect yourself you will quickly readjust whom you allow on your path, protect the entrance to your heart as it is said in the good book, when you hear, speak and take in your spirit could be poisons to your passion and soul. Keep yourself in the light and move forward!~Gia
