There comes a time in life when we all will face the crossroads. The fork in the road where one road will lead you to Victory and other will lead you to Defeat. It’s not a trick choice….We Know the Roads, but the question is do we have the courage it takes to face the truth about OUR LIFE and make the decision to change or will we continue to live in the false reality that we have created to convince ourselves that we are OK?

I can only speak for me so let me put it to you this way. No matter how much I tuck it in, strap it up or tie it down, when I stand before a mirror naked, I see myself how I really Look! No matter what I tell other’s or post on Social Media, when I am alone in my room, the makeup is off, the hair is wrapped and there is no one but me and my thoughts….That’s when I face my Reality! No matter how many books I read, how inspiring I am or how many scriptures I quote, when it’s just God, me & his word, that’s when my Truth is revealed! That’s when I face my crossroads! Not what others see but what I see, what I know and who I truly am! That’s when I have look within myself and determine if I want to continue living the facade I have created for the masses or do I sincerely want to be better, do better & live better…Yes, I want Better! There is something within me that continues to push me & reminds me that I have to stop making excuses and take responsibility for Myself, my personal growth and continued healing. I must stop making excuses for not being where I want to be in life. Stop making excuses for not being Happy in life. Stop making excuses for my Financial Situation in life. Stop making Excuses for my negative behavior and bad attitude. Stop making excuses for the bad decisions that I made. Just Stop Making Excuses and Get up off my “Do Nothing” (as my Nana would say) and Do Something. Because at the end of the day, the only person that is Hindered is Me or the only person that Prospers is Me!

So, I’m telling you the same thing. Life will only get better when you make the Conscious Decision (in your mind and by your actions) to make it Better. Change can be painful but it’s necessary for Progress and Growth.No, it’s not easy, you may have to walk alone, you will cry and wonder why & it may get worst before it gets better but they will GET BETTER. I always say this because it’s true, 2 of the greatest gifts God gave to mankind are the gifts of Choice & the ability to Change. You have to make the ‘choice’ to ‘change’ your situation for You! Some of you are on a life-like ventilator & if you don’t start breathing (living) on your own, your going to spend the rest of you life relying on someone or something else to sustain you. Fear and complacency will take root while your window of opportunity closes. Look at Peter in Matthew 14:28-31, he choose to risk it all & get out of boat! You are at the crossroads……the Decision is yours & the Time is NOW!

Why am I writing this, First, because I see so many people ‘stuck’ in the rut of merely existing and not living. Secondly, I don’t want anyone to make the same mistake I made, I gave my all to help someone else obtain their success by sacrificing mine. But this is not a sad ending for me. My quest has only just begun and I’m going after mine…….Don’t Believe me, Just Watch Me!
