DON'T HAUL YOUR LIFE TOGETHER OVER NIGHT

 By Jason Grant 

                                                           Small steps still count

"The Heights by great men reached and kept were not attain by sudden flight, but they, while they companion slept, were toiling upward through the night"


There is nothing worth having in this life that comes so easily to you without leaving just as quickly as it came. A lot of us can confirm this from experience because either it brought pain or some form of stress before it left. 
I started out my journey of self-development a few years ago when I started watching motivational youtube videos from Les Brown, Lisa Nichols, and so many others. My self-development which is still in progress was taking longer to manifest than I wanted it to, I even gave up on myself countless times because I thought to myself "This is not going nowhere"   but when you are in divine alignment nothing or no one can stop what God has destined for you. 
I can remember as far back as 2015 when someone gave me a Christmas gift at church and when I got home I was so anxious to open the gift because I love gifts (Idk who doesn't) so as I ripped every bit of the wrapping paper my anxiety peaked. After removing the wrapping paper I discovered a perfect little journal. This gift was so special to me and I still have it to this very day, of course, it has writing all over it. Written on those pages are goals that I had set and accomplished, feelings that I did not share with others, and drawings when my words couldn't suffice for what I was going through.

This post is not to guilt-trip you but more likely to ease the pressure on yourself to create an exceptional life overnight. It took me all these years to become this version of myself that I am now. even though this is not the ultimate goal for me, I have come a far way this growth can be seen physically, spiritually, and mentally. Most times when I listen to influencers they started from nothing until they have reached the target that was their aim, it did not happen overnight it was not rushed. Take Steve Harvey for an example he shared his testimony of having to sleep in a car and so many other sacrifices he had to make before he made it to where he is today. Lisa Nichols had the last meal to feed her son and she promised him that it would not always be the same, let this be your encouragement to build a firm foundation that when the storm rages over your life everything will not be lost. 

Growth is a whole process. you are required to change things and habits that no longer serve you or your future self. this could mean changing the people you socialize with, instead of spending on KFC saving your money, and eating at home. These are only some of the few sacrifices that I made for myself that I can share.

Taking it one step at a time is all that you need to do. Yes, it sounds simple but until you take it on then you will see what it is all about. Taking one step at a time to me meant being only focused on one thing at a time. This gives you more time to achieve that specific goal in sight rather than doing multiple things at a time. Work your way through  



Namaste, I come in peace like Gandhi

Now with all this information go and create the life that God has called you to live, take everything one step at a time and remember God is still working on you. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to his purpose.

Creating The Best You

 You are Creators  By Jason Grant The flowers of the garden are so graceful, they know their time and season.  A time to light up and blossom colorfully into a beautiful flower, emanating sweet fragrances, and then a season to whither with dried brown leaves and return to the earth. Some human beings are completely different from the flowers of the garden. We find it hard to transition into our next season especially if we're in a season of stagnation, prosperity may seem far fetched. This fear of transition is completely natural because you're leaving a place of familiarity to a new setting. It is said that our comfort zone might be hard to leave because of complacency. When you become complacent you are planted and you see growth or development as a hard task. On December 31, 2015, I decided that I wanted something different for 2016, I decided that who I was in that moment wasn't all that I could so I decided to start my journey to self-development in that year.

How To Plan For Your Year

By Jason Grant  Planning Ahead  Some days I sit high in a cloud, surrounded by all my thoughts, ranging from short-term plans to long-term goals and of course, the bad ideas that constantly attempt to worm their way into the good ones.  Well, hello there!  What's going on in that powerful, beautiful, majestic mind of yours? feeling indecisive? lost? or helpless?  My dear one, you are not alone. Have no fear because all the answers are deeply rooted within  you or you just might need to find new inspiration and motivation to build your drive and focus on achieving all that you desire. This is what I found out just from watching motivational YouTube videos and listening to and reading audio books that are geared towards self-help and development. It is no secret that the enemy within us will oftentimes try to convince us that we are incapable of achieving our goals. I am here to tell you that you should just take the risk, give it your all, and make your plans a reality.  This is the

How to make a team work!

Image
                                                             By: Jason Grant Working with a team can be quite an experience, but working with the right team will help you to be more open when working with others. Teams have a tendency to work well when there is no personality clash. Grouping a set of people together may not always be ideal, just because some people tend to cause ruption. People always have a hard time determining the leader of a group, this is because of the same problem "Personality" it varies from one to the next and even though a leadership will be assigned group members can share in leadership roles, this is how teams play. Creating teamness does not only fall on the shoulders of the leader, as teammates form part of the group. They can create some form of friendship while working together. In everything that we do, there must be some form of plan to execute and do it rightfully. The process where members of the group get to know each
