Now with That Said Just Let That Sink In

This is a collection of my daily thoughts, life experiences, and readings designed to help you live a positive life. If you are like me, you would have spent your whole life conforming to the status quo, being negative, lacking self confidence, and moving aimlessly . One day I remember someone encouraging me, telling me that there are levels to myself that the world has not seen and it would be up to me to decide if I would display my greatness.

In 2006, I made a decision to live a positive life, but it would take me up to seven years to see the fruits of my labor. In 2013, I worked as an intake specialist. And with no formal training in counseling, I realized that apparently, people would trust me and tell me all there issues and problems. At first I was a little afraid, but I started praying, asking God to help me say the right things to the people I interact with. Soon enough, I was becoming a positive motivational light in my workplace. People would come into my office sad but leave with bright smiles upon leaving.

I realized that this is what God wanted for me to do . The Bible says, Study to show yourself approved (2 Timothy 2:15). I began reading motivational self-help books; watching videos of speakers such as Les Brown, Zig Ziglar, Earl Nightingale, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, Napoleon Hill, MLK, T. D. Jakes, and Brendon Burchard; and looking up thousands of positive quotes and affirmations. I realized that I can take my life experiences and stories and use them for positive enforcement to help others, and the idea to write this book was born.

I know that when you read this book, it will entertain you, put a smile on your face, and last but not least, help you to reengineer you mentality toward embracing a positive mind-set. You will look for the positives in life and not the negatives. You will start seeking opportunity and stop complaining about circumstances. You will see the good in everything and everybody. You will learn how to control your emotions and not let your emotions control you. You will be on the road toward bettering yourself. My life was altered because someone spoke something positive into me; therefore, I aim to speak positivity into you. This book is for people just like me, who have struggled with doubt/unbelief, self-pity, unforgiveness, jealousy, negative / pessimistic thinking, anger/bitterness, and all the other factors that helped to create a defeatist outlook and fatalistic attitude toward life. I know this book will touch and impact you positively once you adopt an open mind and heart. Eat , sleep, and live positivity.
