It is okay to QUIT!!!

Okay, this was sent to me today, and I decided to share it with a few friends, and i decided this would be something great to add to my blog. Am I busy at work, heck yeah, and I also know when things are more important this is….smiling… It seems longer than it is because they are all one liners. I am sending this to you because I thought you, like me, could use a moment to contemplate this message as we move forward in our life. I am not saying, I am there yet, because I am not, but it is worth the read when you have the time. Ironically, the change, the choice, and the action is all in our hands to do, or not to do because we control our disposition and what other see in each of us. No makes you mad, you allow them the control.…things that make you go hMMM!...I found it interesting, and quite empowering, you might not, and that is okay. I only share, I do not require anyone to agree with me, or align their logic with mind….let us all be the change we wish to see in others, because a change we desire is incomplete, if we are not willing to change as well. See, when we learn to priortize according to God, not man, then this list will not only make sense, but empower you to grow beyond your momentary madness or victory, and gain wealth of revelations that creates legacy and longevity in your life, and those who come after you, come in contact with you, because you speak into their lives. In doing so, you are enriched, your light shines brighter, and your confidence increase without the conceit that drags us down, and pushes other away.



"it's ok to Quit....." Motivational Speaker - Veraunda Jackson
1. Quit arguing with people about the same old foolishness! Respect their position and keep it moving! 2. Quit telling people your secrets when you know they are not going to keep them! And if you keep telling them, then quit getting mad when they tell your secrets! 3. Quit trying to pull people on your journey who don't want to travel with you. Either they believe in you and value you...or they don't! 4. Quit complaining about things you can't and won't change! 5. Quit gossiping about other people! Minding our own business should be a full time job! 6. Quit blaming each other for things that in the big picture aren't going to matter three weeks from now! Talk solutions...and then implement them! 7. Quit eating things you know are not good for you! If you can't quit...eat smaller portions! 8. Quit buying things when we know we can't afford them! If you don't have self control, then quit going to the stores! Quit charging things, especially when you don't NEED them! 9. Quit staying in unhealthy relationships! It is not okay for people to verbally or physically abuse you! So quit lying to yourself! It is not okay to stay in the marriage for the children! Ask them and they will tell you that they really would prefer to see you happy and that the misery you and your spouse/partner are living with is affecting them! 10. Quit letting family members rope you into the drama! -Start telling them you don't want to hear it! Quit spreading the drama! Quit calling other relatives and telling them about your cousin or aunt! Go back to #5 minding your own business should be enough to keep you busy! 11. Quit trying to change people! IT DOESN'T WORK! Quit cussing people out when you know that they are just being the miserable and jealous people that they are! 12. Quit the job you hate! Start pursuing your passion. Find the job that fuels your passion BEFORE you quit! 13. Quit volunteering for things that you aren't getting any personal fulfillment from anymore! Quit volunteering for things and then failing to follow through with your commitment! 14. Quit listening to the naysayers! Quit watching the depressing news if you are going to live in the doom and gloom of it all! 15. Quit making excuses about why you are where you are or why you can't do what you want to do! 16. Quit waiting on others to give you the answers...and start finding the answers for yourself! If what you are doing isn't working for you...then quit it! 17. Quit settling and start making your dreams a reality!- Quit being afraid and START LIVING YOUR LIFE! CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT! If you want something different than what you have had in the past....you must quit doing what you have done before and DO something different! JUST QUIT IT ...... and START DOING something to create the experience you want!

If we were as greedy…

If we were as greedy for understanding across the board in life, as we are for money, we would have less strain in our relationships…If we were as greedy for helping and reconciliation, as we are for fame and celebrity status, we would have less blood stains in our lives, both figuratively and literally…If we were as greedy for true communication, as we are for being heard and seen, we would have less pains, worries, and hurt in our life…If we were as greedy for collaborative expanded benchmarking that rings with authenticity, as we are for selfish gains and victory for the moment, we would have less emptiness in our heart and insecurity in our psyche…If we were as greedy for being present in every moment, as we are for getting ahead at every opportunity and any cost, we would have less tears and losses…If we were as greedy for the growth, the stretching, the realism, as we are for the superficial tangible that clutter our lives, we would have fewer broken hearts and less bridges to bend…If we learn to after the things which cannot be taken and have both longevity and legacy, like mercy tempered justice, waterfall forgiveness, infinite unconditional love, and accept our consequences comes from our actions, then our lives would speak what words could never explain, and we would have peace in midst of all storms…Ecc 9:11; 17-18 - I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning nor favor to men of ability; for time and chance overtake them all….The words of the wise heard in quietness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.(NASB)
