Tea Time 31: Grow to where you want to grow!

“You can have more than you’ve got because you can become more than you are. The other side of the coin is, Unless you change who you are, you will always have what you got.”

For things to change for you, you have to change, or things aren’t going to change.

Jim Rohn

He was also talking about how income does not far exceed personal development. Sometimes it can take a lucky jump, but unless you grow out to where it is, it will always come back to where you are. He gave this example, "Its been said that if all the money in the world was taken and divided up, and given to everyone equally, It would soon all be back in the same pockets." 

Let's grow to where we want to be!

Can you imagine waking up and reading the morning news to see how everyone thought of you because they thought that you had passed? 

If you don't think that you'd like what others would say about you, now would be a perfect time to change the public's opinion. 

Reflect on what you have been doing, and if there needs to be changes, how can you start?

Tea Time 29: To forgive and accept forgiveness

For a relationship to move forward, a conversation and/or an agreement needs to take place. Forgiveness, and also the acceptance of forgiveness.

Tea Time 28: How you are being treated may be a reflection of you.

Life maybe "returning the favor". How you are being treated may be a reflection of you and how you actually treat others. Many of the things we experience through relationships and interactions are the very "favors" being returned to us.

Tea Time 27: Healing and Hurtful Words.

Words can get under your skin and heal or get on top and grind away.

Tea Time 26: Your words are heard

Tea Time 25: You are in a good place…

Sometimes I get complacent where I am and I end up trying to break free and enter a space where I do not belong. This really frustrates the system. I’m frustrated because everything is against me. The environment is frustrated because it has to contend with an outside influence that it was not prepared to handle quite yet.

God has us where we are to grow and learn and then move on to next phases at the appropriate time.

Tea Time 24: Things are working for your good.

Romans 8:28 is one of my foundation scriptures that keeps me look at things in a positive light when things don't go the way I really wanted them to go.
