Project YOU, Project ME....2009

[CurliDiva]

Hi Ladies,

Its Spring.........so let's shake off those winter blues and BLOSSOM!

This month, I've been brain storming about not only of my major dreams and life goals, but also the quality and direction of my day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month experiences!

I want a life to be full of great experiences and relationships along the journey!


I hope everyone is still focusing on nurturing themselves!

Happy Easter!!

I would love to particpate. Count me in.

I would like to concentrate on putting me first..being my ultimate 100% self. Once I am happy and satisfied everything else will fall into place.

Blessings ladies

Hi ladies,

I just want to check and share something that’s been on my heart/mind for a while now.

Our choices are so important, and the choice that I was to focus on is the COMPANY I keep.

Not dating or love relationships…..but FEMALE FRIENDS, ASSOCIATES and ACQUAINTANCES!

The people you CHOSE to spend time with have a profound affect on how you feel and what you'll ultimately achieve in life.

It sometimes is addictive to listen to other’s problem or drama with the good intentions of being a “good friend” but be careful of energy vampires. These energy vampires will slowly (sometimes over years…..and with soft words & actions) drain you of dreams, ideas and glory.

I’m getting much better (although I still have work to DO) about surrounding myself around the RIGHT people. There is a line from the new song by Keri Hilson’s that goes:

How could a goddess ask, someone that's only average for ADVICE?

I’m not trying to sound conceited, but just because someone “wants” to befriend me – I have the right and (personal responsibility to myself) to CHOSE if they are worthy of my company.

“THE COMPANY YOU KEEP” ​

ANONYMOUS ​

​

It Is Better To Be Alone, Than In The Wrong Company ​

​

Tell me who your best friends are, and I will tell you who you are.

If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights.

“A mirror reflects a man’s face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses.” The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate – for the good and the bad.

The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people.

As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don’t help you climb will want you to crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don’t increase you will eventually decrease you.

Consider this:
• Never receive counsel from unproductive people.
• Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how. Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person.
• Don’t follow anyone who’s not going anywhere. With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it.
• Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life.
• Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships.

Happy moments? Praise God ​

Difficult moments? Seek God ​

Quiet moments? Worship God ​

Painful moments? Trust God ​

Every moment? Thank God ​

If you see people without a smile today … Give them one of yours.
