Setting Some Standards Over Your Life

A Dream becomes a Goal once you write it down. A Goal become a Plan once you take Action. A Planned Action then Becomes your REALITY...

Lesson Learned!!!!!

Have you ever been to Jail? Have you ever been evicted from your home? Have you ever bounced a check to keep your lights on? Have you ever spent time with someone and you should have been spending it at home? Have you ever had a opportunity to work with people who have less than you and didn't? Have you ever spent more money than you planned for at Walmart?  If you have answered  Yes, to any of these questions then you are not alone. Cause I have done all of those things. Looking back on it. It doesn't make me feel good. In fact it makes me feel Irresponsible.

Today I thought about all of the things that made me feel like that and the list was actually longer. I am ashamed at a lot of the things that I have done in my life. Well, I am Glad to say LESSON LEARNED....
I got up and set out to make my day as productive and rewarding as possible. I have been driving with out a license for awhile now. I even have to do community service, pay a fine and go see a probation officer for it. I still was driving around without one. 1. because i didn't have the funds to pay the fine. 2. because I felt like I will get to it. 3. as long as my tag is good and I have insurance I will be alright. Boy, was  I wrong. It is nerve racking to drive. Every time I see the police I start to sweat and my heart is pounding. Scared to really drive at night cause you can't see the police get behind you. God forbid that your tail light might just decided to blow while your driving...SMH...So I did what any GROWN WOMAN would do in a situation like this. I got my Ass out of bed this morning and went and stood in line for 3hrs to pay my fine and 2hrs to get my license. LESSON LEARNED!!!!

As I was standing in line and looking around at the men and women in the place. I realized that it is a lot of people like me who get stuck in Life. People get so caught up in the right now.They don't realize that life is more than  a good weave, some hot shoes, What party or hot spot to go to or where they can find some weed (another topic on another day). I use to be in that world. I decided one day and it wasn't over night. That I didn't want that anymore. I still fall short some times. I still want my weave and  hot pair of shoes. But I have come to realize that it take Work, Scarafice and Planning to live the life that God has given me. I started to think about the Goals I plan on making my reality, I came up with 10 areas that I want to focus on. I also thought of some questions that would help me to figure out how to set realistic goals. I call them Life Goals. I put them in order of importance to me.Notice how I put Romance last. I did that on purpose becasue I figured it out. In order to have a lasting Romantic relationship with anyone you must first get your priorioties together. Aquelle is Growing up...:))

My Life Goals:
  • SPIRITUAL
  • FAMILY
  • FINANCIAL
  • CAREER
  • EDUCATION
  • ATTITUDE
  • PHYSICAL
  • PUBLIC SERVICE
  • ARTISTIC
  • PLEASURE/ROMANCE
The Challenge is take each one of the bulleted goals and create you some "True Self" questions. Then set your own Life Goals. I encourage you to take sometime out and really look at yourself . Ask yourself  where you want to be in your life? Do I want to make the world a better place for me and my kids? Do I want to lose this weight for real? Is there any part of my mindset holding me back? What level do I want to reach in my career? How much money do I want to earn? How will my decissions effect my family?  and What information and skill will I need to acheive other my goals? These are a few questions that I asked my self while standing in that long ass line.lol... Don't be afraid to write down even the smallest or silliest question. No one has to see it or even know you  are doing it. I'm choosing to share mine because I want it to Manifest into something bigger than me. "Everything in life is what you choose to Manifest". So let speak change, prosperity and Enlightenment in to our Universe. Psalm 67:1-2

HAPPY LOVE DAY!!!

Love,
Aquelle
