Monday Morning Story! - DO IT FOR YOU!!

This is Monday's story!

As I sit and ponder what to write this day, I'm having a hard time focusing!  I have all kinds of thoughts running in my head about the work that I have to do.  Send those emails, call that client, follow up with the bill, do this, do that, WRITE the Monday morning story...lol!  So I turn on my inspiration and I get the message!  DO IT FOR YOU!  Everything you do, do it for you.  Now that may sound selfish to most, but if you have a greater understanding of the power in love then you understand that when you love yourself, you are able to love everyone else.  Whatever you do, do it cause it brings you joy.  Start living from the inside out!!  Your divine purpose is what you should be focused on! When you focus on that purpose, everything you do is for you to fulfill that purpose! It making writing this blog post meaningful, it making getting up in the morning meaningful, it makes giving back to my community meaningful, it makes Can We Talk! Radio meaningful to me! I do it cause it makes ME happy! So here is the story!

There was a young lady, who's purpose was shown to her at a very young age. Her purpose was to be an educator.  Not in the traditional sense of school teaching but more of an educator of Life!  Forced at a young age to be a teacher to her siblings and her friends, she rebelled against the purpose as she got older.  She saw her purpose as a burden instead of a gift.  She felt that people depended on her for information and guidence and that she had no one to turn to for the same. As she progressed through life, ignoring her purpose, she started to have problems that resulted in her losing herself. She had lost control of herself because she so desperately wanted to lean on others. She wanted to have others help her solve her problems like she had helped so many before. She wanted others to do for her, what she had done for them. It wasn't until she was left all alone that she understood that she had all that she needed!  When her best friends couldn't be reached and turned their back at her, when the man she loved couldn't give her his heart to lean on, when her family continued to take more than they gave, she realized she had to do it for HERSELF!!  She had to be her own teacher!! She WAS her own teacher. She had to learn how to love herself all over again.  She started reading and writing, filling herself with the natural gift that GOD had given her. As she grew she shared, not to have people listen but to help her bring out her divine purpose. What she noticed was amazing!! Once she started to do things for herself, she was actually helping others. Not those who she thought were her friends but complete strangers.  She now understands that GOD gave her a gift to teach and thats what she loves to do. Teach love and positivity.  Guess who her most studious student is?  That's right, HERSELF!!

So the moral of this story is always do it for you! You never know how you may be helping someone else out by following the desires in your heart.  GOD places something in all of us that is unique and as long as you are following someone else agenda it will never be fulfilled!
