Good Morning,
First off let me thank everyone that helped and supported me in my last blog, it was an amazing ride. this blog will be different. i will for the most part try to write using correct grammar and spelling. its important that my message be clear. if you know me, you know that this is a struggle. Often times i like to fly off the seed of my pants with no regard towards others feelings, so i write and speak in a manner that is not proper. as we move forward in this series i will try to keep that in mind and write from the heart. i was inspired to write this blog because i had an "Ah-Ha" moment last night. i was talking with a dear friend over dinner and we were going trough our normal talk, what we wanted to do in life, things we wanted to change, we want to be rich, i want this i want that. It was at that moment that i realized that all of our work, and struggling thus far had been to satisfy others not ourselves. I came home and started watching videos on YouTube Watching videos on YouTube is so dangerous because after you're done you will either want to build a rocket-bomb, dance like Michael Jackson, or bake a bunch of cookies. The mind is such a complicated tool. I stared to watch all these videos of "successful" people and i slowly got intertwined into watching Oprah and Iyanla videos. I know some of you are rolling your eyes right now, leave the blog and never return this isn't for you. Out of all the videos i watched, the one that has altered my thinking was Iyanla's story of her fall from "grace", or as i like to call it her fall into "Maturity". She was famous, rich, married, "happy",and "successful", but all the while so immature. She had been chasing "the dollhouse" and had finally achieved it but was not ready to live it out to completion. Our first step in growing is to define. My definition of the Dollhouse is, other peoples idea of success and happiness and our struggle to get there. As we move forward i want you to write that down, and every time we have a discussion i want to you to have it present whenever you give your opinion. At the top of the paper i want you to write in, big, bold letters ,LOVE. I'm doing this because i love my fellow man, and i want nothing but success and happiness for them. i see so many people struggling trying to live and achieve a dream that is not their own. We move forward in LOVE.
