  I once listened to a young man speak about his fears. He was in the middle of starting his own business and he was afraid to fail. He had to take out a cumulative loan of $40 million dollars to begin his business. If I was him, I would have been scared out of my mind also. $40 million dollars is a lot of money. Before he signed the documents for the loans he was confused, afraid to fail and feared disappointing his friends and family. The young man explained how he overcame his fears and I found it very powerful. To summarize his statement, "I decided to think about the fears in my mind, rather than suppress or ignore them. I took a pen and paper and I wrote down all of my "What Ifs." What If I take this loan and my business fails? What if no one wants to work for me?

Heyyy y'all!!! Welcome back to Life, Faith &Love! I am bringing a new series to you guys titled, "What I Wish I Knew BEFORE I Got Married." I'll be real with you guys, it was a bit of a struggle finding people who were willing to open up about their marriages or their personnel experiences in regards to relationships.

Find her on instagram @VibewithViv and check out her webs...

When you are experiencing some thanksgiving blues? Maybe you recently got laid off, ended a relationship, or loss a love one and it's weighing you down mentally and emotionally. This blog post is focused on how to tackle feelings of ungratefulness during this Thanksgiving season. 1. Start At The Root People go through things in life and they try to mask what they are going through. They put on a fake smile and pretend that everything is okay, but in reality they are in pain. In order for real healing to begin, we must begin at the root of the problem. Dig deep and ask yourself when did I start feeling this way? What happen? How did it happen? For example there was a season in my life when I was feeling down. For me, when I am down most people can not tell. I still put on smile, ...

We live in times where social media deems having money, success and fame equates to happiness. The purpose of this blog is not to deem money as a bad thing nor to portray money as evil. The purpose of this blog is search for the deeper meaning of happiness. Material possessions can not give us peace of mind. Material possessions can provide temporal joy, but not permanent joy. If you don't believe me, read below for quoted statements from celebrities (who have A LOT of money, fame and success) and their stand point on money and happiness. -Cardi B:  Interviewer: " You had put an Instagram video where you had an iced out Patek Philippe watch and you seemed like the happiest person in that moment."  Cardi: "It wasn't like...
