Think Before You Act

I really dislike saying, "I wish I could turn back time". As most of us wish the same, we have to remember that  a lot of things happen for a reason. Sometimes things happen to us because we learn faster through failure than through success, that's just how our brain works.
Even though some things are inevitable...there are are some things we can control and choose.
So now I'm coming to the point in which I want to reach, "THINK BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING".
Life would be so much easier if we all thought before we said or did something. I guess I used to be one of those people that lived in the present rather than thinking about the future. Tomorrow is not promised but that doesn't mean we could make stupid decisions now because what if tomorrow does come, we are going to live with the consequences today that we chose to do yesterday.
Being at a party is a perfect example... let's suppose that we are in the future by a couple of days of the party. An individual is locked up for DUI and for killing an innocent pedestrian while he/she drove like a maniac while drunk . In his/her jail cell the individual is constantly thinking, "why me, why did I drink, why did somebody not take my keys away because I was too drunk to drive, why did I go to that party, this all would have not happened if I went to that stupid party???".
Life can change in a quick second but we have the power to  maintain control if only we thought stuff through before.
The individual in the example could've prevented all of this if he/she would've put a limit to how much he/she drank or not to drink at all knowing he/she had to drive. It's easy for him/her to try to blame somebody for letting him/her drive drunk but that is the irresponsible way to think. You are responsible for your own actions and sometimes your actions bring good consequences but it also can sometimes bring bad consequences.


So next time think before you

  • have unprotected sex or have any pre-maritial sex at all
  • drink and have to drive at a party
  • choose not to do your h.w
  • choose to do drugs
  • speak

Those were just a few examples but if you really care about your life, why not protect it and think before you do something.

Be Careful What You Think Or Say

Have you ever wondered why bad things keep happening to you over and over and over again and when you say, can it get any worse?.. and more times than likely, it does get worse? Have you ever said one of the following?
  •  I always get cheated on
  •  I always get treated like a doormat
  •  I am always broke 
  •  I always get pulled over by the cops for no reason 
  •  I always get heartbroken

I’m sorry to tell you this but at much as you would like to blame others for your misfortunes, the person you should really be blaming is yourself.

You may be asking yourself, “but how is this my fault???"
And my answer is, because you are bringing negativity into your life and actually putting it into existence by manifesting yourself in negative thoughts also by the  negative words that come out of your mouth.

This is all because of “The Law of Attracton”.. Still confused? Well let me put it like this..how does the law of gravity work? What goes up must come down right? That being said, how do you think the law of attraction works. Think yourself as a magnet and rememember, better yet, look at the examples that have bullet points next to it..go ahead and read them again…okay, remember you’re a magnet, you being a magnet and you saying all those negative things, what do you think you are more than likely to attract? 

Ahhh, I think now you’re getting it ;-)

Exactly, you are attracting negativity into your life because that is all that is coming out of your mouth and thoughts.
If you were to ask me ,"But obie, how can I not think negative when all this negativity is around me, I hate my job, I never have money, I’m in so much debt. Nothing good ever happens to me? I would say, “stop making excuses and start changing your life for the better”. Followed by a slap in the face if you were to say "F*ck my life", because I really hate when people say that, I feel that is one of the worst things people could say when they are blessed with life. Most people are thinking about what they don’t want and wonder why they keep seeing it over and over again.

First of all, the law of attraction is very obedient. Therefore start thinking positive thoughts. As soon as you wake up in the morning, say, better yet declare that that day is going to be a great day. I personally thank God as much as I can for giving me an extra day to live =)
When you think of the things that you really want, you have to focus on it and believe that it is already yours by calling it into existence with your thoughts and words, and do not be surprised when you do finally get it. It could be a new car, more money, better friends, anything could be yours.

You want a new job? I suggest you say or declare, "I will get a new great job”, over and over again, for days if you really want it.
You want a new car? Declare that car will soon be yours. Even better, the law of attraction becomes stronger when you start to imagine yourself driving that car because not only are you bringing in the positive manifestation with your words but also with your thoughts. Did you know that is scientifically proven that an affirmative thought is hundreds of times more powerful than a negative thought? So start thinking positively and become aware of your thoughts!!!!

This "Law Of Attraction" has been used through out history and you will be surprised which people have believed in it. They have become wealthy, live a better healthier life, happily married, so why wouldn't you want that for yourself?

There is actually a book named "The Secret" that you can read in order to find more information about this or better yet, if you are currently subscribed to Netflix, search "The Secret" and you will be able to see the DVD.

I was first introduced to this at age 19 by a friend named Cynthia, she posted it up in a post and I asked her more about it and she gave me more information. Lucky for you I'm not selfish either so I'm sharing this with you as well. Just want this to end this by saying that to be careful what you say or post. It's easy to become overwhelmed with the bad things going on your life but even if you think about it or not, they are still gonna be there so it's better not to think about it and even better to start thinking positive and remember that it doesn't rain forever. When you have an inspired positive thought, you have to trust it and act on it.

Too Blessed To Be Stressed

As much as we say that we hate drama, I am here to say to say that in the contrary, PEOPLE LOVE DRAMA!!!!!
I say this because I have the right to after living a blessed 23 years of my life. I've been in relationships in which I had a good girlfriend and I admit I was the one acting shady, but as I grew older I grew more mature and learned to appreciate a good girl, but then the tables turned and they started acting shady and people would ask me, "why are you still with her???"
That questions made me think if I liked getting treated like crap,lol...this may be funny to me but in real life  some people do. I in one hand do not like getting treated like crap, in fact, I get rid of people that dare not give me my full respect as I do onto them. But in reality, I hear so many stories in where my friend's (girls) boyfriends are treating them like crap and I ask them the same question.."DO YOU LIKE GETTING TREATED LIKE CRAP???"
What I'm trying to say here is that most people love drama for some reason. For instance, let's suppose you wake up early than the usual for work and so far you are having a great day and everything is going right...but all of a sudden you ran across a rumor going around  about you that is not true. Why would you let that mess up your day even when you were having a great day and just because you heard a rumor and  you decided to say, "I'm having the worst day ever"....seriously, are you really going to forget that you were blessed to live another day, are you going to forget that your children or husband or boyfriend kissed you good-bye before you left to work? We tend to make a bigger deal of the stupidest things and not appreciate that not many people get to see tomorrow or even worse, a close person to you gets to see another day and yet you don't shoot them a text or call wishing them a great day but you do stress about about somebody talking behind your back.
In relationships, most people don't appreciate a good or good woman when they have one. They don't appreciate that they send you a good morning text or goodnight text every night, you may at first but then become used to it that you start caring less about it. You don't appreciate that you are not the only one doing the chores and that your significant other gives you massages when you come tired from work...but yet you complain that you have to work all day and come to a dirty house, dishes are not done, and that your significant other is either hanging around his boys/ girls all the time or that he is always glued to the t.v playing video games and caring less about your existence.
Learn to see your blessing and count them one by one every time something bad is happening in your life. If something bad happens, realize that it could be worse. If your boyfriend/girlfriend is acting suspicious and he/she is stressing you out with their b.s... why when in a previous relationship you were treated like a king/queen you took it for granted? So learn to value and have respect for yourself and see that you deserve better.
Realize that just because you are close for your lights to be cut off, there are people out there in danger of losing their homes to foreclosure. Realize that true friends don't rub stuff in your face but instead let life take its course and let u see later on in life that you lost a great friend..when you realize this, you will stop rubbing stuff in people's faces, you will know that things happen for a reason, you will see the silver lining in a cloud but better of all, you will be able to count all you blessing when something bad happens to you.
