A Reflection by Tabitha D. James Yes, the title says Ain't Nobody Playin', incorrect grammar and all, I need you to FEEL this -- I'm not playing and you shouldn't be either. The greatness inside of us is conveniently located on the other side of our games, excuses and fear; let's get to work. So it took me a little while to come back with a follow-up to Make it Happen - W.E. Reflection Part I because chiiiiiiiileeeee listen, I had to sit in my emotions and really grasp what occurred and how I felt about it. You could be reading this and Woman Evolve isn't your thing, that's okay, this message is still applicable. The meat of this message is that it's critical for you to consistently work on yourself and your ultimate well-being. Rather it's an event you want to attend, a person you want to meet, an opportunity you want to take . . . . so on and so forth . . . personal develop goes beyond degrees, certifications and surface-level connections. To truly thrive AND be holistically well while doing so, you have to dig deep and be intentional with your thoughts and actions. Below are three things I feel are vitally important, there are more but these are critical at any stage: Surroundings 1) Assess your circle. Who are you connected to? - We are the sum of our surroundings. Birds of a feather flock together; are you an eagle or a chicken? Intentions 2) What are your intentions and exceptions? Do you have any? - A fail to plan is a plan to fail; be intentional with your actions and have an idea of what you're seeking. Imagine your life as a road-trip, if there's no destination in the GPS you're just driving, if you enter an address, no matter how many times you deviate from the original path, it will update and eventually you'll get to your destination. Trust the process! Reflection 3) Have you reflected? Do you reflect? - Reflection, reflection, reflection. Don't just aimlessly go through life. Take the time to reflect on what has occurred and how it has made you feel. Don't be afraid to get lost in your emotions, you deserve to have awareness around your feelings. Enjoy this RAW and transparent video that breaks down the above points; it is my hope that something from this message is food for your soul -- be sure to comment or shoot me a message about your thoughts! Hi! I'm Tabitha "Tiny Tab" James, I reside in small town America and I specialize in coffee drinking, mentoring, strategy and a hit of constructive sarcasm. A few years ago (like ten now) I decided to just go for it. What is "it" -- not sure, still chasing it! I want to WIN, success is attainable and I believe that -- life is a journey not a destination; I'm enjoying the trip, join me!
