Everything is always working out for you…

Yes, you! I mean think about it, you are still here, and things have worked out. Some might say that this is a "rose colored glasses" or "glass half full" philosophy, yet the truth of the matter is, in fact, everything is working out just the way you imagined it.
Let that sink in for a bit.

What are the thoughts you think, and how has that shaped your reality? What are the words you use when talking to yourself or others?

For instance, have you ever heard phrases like these:
"Man, it is always something!"
"If it ain't one thing, it's another!"

Now think about the person you heard saying this and take an inventory of the experiences they usually have.
(Yes, we are in their business!)
Would you say their mouth or their minds match their circumstances?

So, It's about that time to go inward. You are brave and can do this.
(Now we are in our own business!)
Reflect on a time when your mind molded your matter.

What were the words you used?

What was the recurring thought prior to the outcome?

Now listen, I understand that no one died and made me King of your phrases and thoughts, yet I am the Queen of mine. As a 37 year old woman with a teenage son, a successful business, a stress-free career, multiple enjoyable experiences, and many dynamic, positive, and endearing relationships, you might assume that my life has been peachy. And at the same time, the truth is this:

  1. My parents got pregnant with me as teenagers.

  2. I came from a divorced turned single parent household.

  3. Abuse of all kinds runs rampantly in my family. ( substance, sexual, domestic, etc.)

  4. I spent many years in abusive relationships of all kinds. (friends, family, lovers, & work)

  5. I had an unwed pregnancy.

  6. I have massive student loan debt.

  7. I am a black woman.
