Always try to find the positive perspective in all situations. See the glass half full, not half empty. 2. Use this time to figure you out.

Hey Readers!!! Welcome to Wednesday Wisdom. This week I will be focusing on WORRYING... y'all let me tell you this, I have been told that I had a bad habit of worrying about things that were many years down the road or things that may NEVER happen. I realized that worrying robbed me of my peace and effected my health. Worrying can raise your blood pressure y'all and trust elevated blood pressure is NOT good for your health. So I started to ask myself WHY am I worrying?! Will this worrying add any benefits to my life? It will not at all, it'll instead subtract from my life. There are three basic tools that I have applied that have enabled me to decrease worrying by A LOT. 1. Fix It, or Pray and Let Go When I find myself worrying, if it's something that I can change, I will fix it. If you are worrying about something that is in your control, do something about it! The sooner you take care of it, the better. Unfortunately, most of the things we worry about are out

I have loved reading all of your stories so far and I am so excited to share some of these lessons with you guys. This week life lesson stems from one of my good friends who wants to remain anonymous. She shares her 20's Life Lessons. 1. Parents have a lot of wisdom and when we're in our early twenties, we may not heed to it. My parents tried to speak some wisdom into me and caution me on certain things I should or should not do. Things such as where I should go to school and getting married. In the moment I didn't heed to their caution. I still did my own thing. We live in a world where it's all about me and I'm going to do me. But I want to tell you that you need people. You need wise people around you that will caution you when you're going down

With Valentine's Day around the corner, I saw this post and thought it spoke volumes. I agree with everything Funke Fatai said in this post. I believe there are gender roles, especially in the African culture, with expectations for the man to provide the money and the woman to cook and clean. Society puts such a heavy burden on the man to provide a lifestyle for the woman that she can't provide for herself. Now granted, I do believe a man SHOULD provide for his woman and his family. It is part of his responsibility to be a provider. I also think part of a woman's responsibility is to cook, clean and nurture her family. BUT I believe people forget that relationships, whether dating or marriage is a partnership. BOTH parties should bring something to the table. The man should provide, but that doesn't mean he can't help around the house with cleaning and cooking. Also, I strongly encourage women to have their own "bags" aka money. The Proverbs 31 woman

Welcome back readers!  Lets dive into this week topic, The Power of Keeping Quiet. If you missed part 1 of the Power of Keeping Quiet   click the underlined text. It's set up a good foundation on this topic. This week, I want to provide us with applicable tools on how to practice controlling the tongue. A big part of my blog is rooted in my faith, because I believe in our own human power we can only get so far, but with the power of the Holy Spirit, ALL things are possible. Sincerely, over the years I've had to lean into scripture to help me control my tongue. These two scriptures below are powerful in controlling the tongue.  1. James 1:19 : "Be Slow to Speak, Quick to Listen and Slow to Anger" In the heat of a disagreement/argument it's so easy for our mouths to run loose. We start saying words that pierce like a sword and the dangerous thing about words is once they leave our mouths, we can't take them back and the recipient of your words w

She opens up about her dating experiences and what she's learned from dating in her 20's so far. Anonymous:  "Dating in your 20's in this generation is a bit of a nightmare. A lot of women looking for serious commitment, with few men looking for the same. Most men want to date around and hook up, but with no commitment. I've had my fair struggles in relationships. First year of college, I didn't take relationships seriously. I had guy friends that I hung around with, did the hooking up thing freshmen year. Sophomore year I started desiring a more serious r
