Are You Ready To Leave 2020 Behind?

We have four days left and this year 2020 is done, what a year it has been.
I hope that this year was not a year of too many losses for you,  all I can say it was a very turbulent year for each one of us, and I'm afraid to say, that with all that is going on around the world, 2021 may be just an extension of what we've been going through. But let's not go into 2021 yet without at least finishing this year on somewhat of a good note.

This year was a year to really appreciate what you have, and that is the message I have for you all.
Appreciate what you have, the family & friends that are still around you, appreciate your life and your health, enjoy the little things in life.

Surround yourself with your loved ones these last couple of days of 2020 and love on each other.
Stay in the right mind state and don't lose the focus on your goals.

6 Signs To Know If Your Friend Is Being Jealous Of You

Never surround yourself with people who have the tendency to be very jealous, especially if it's towards you. People who are jealous can be very dangerous, with some it can even turn deadly so, you better watch out whom you call your friend. It's possible you're exposing yourself to danger without even knowing it, that's why it is very important to be wise and use discernment when dealing with people, also don't forget to use common sense.

Everyone, has once in their lifetime dealt with people who were very toxic & jealous (and yes I said toxic because most likely, they are), and if we have to go back, our gut feeling always told us in advance that something wasn't right about that person or situation, but did we listen to that feeling? No, we pushed & kicked that feeling into a little box, threw the keys and the whole box away, and instead listen to the deceit and the lies we were fed.

There is no escape from it, jealous and toxic people are everywhere, even in your family you'll find them. The best thing to do is to stay far away from these people.

6 Signs To Know If Your Friend Is Being Jealous

• One way to know if your so-called friend or one of your family member is jealous of you is if they are always belittling you, they downplay everything you say or do, they say smart remarks to you to hurt you. As soon as they see you be happy or moving forward in life, there they come with their negative comments. In reality, they realize that you are doing something with your life, so they want to bring you down mentally so you won't move forward physically. 

• They try to turn people against you. Some people are very obvious in letting you know that they don't like you & with other people you would never know because they are so good at hiding it. Some of them will say & do anything to destroy your reputation and lie on your name. You really have to watch out whom you let in your inner circle, not everybody is there to be a true friend, they might want to get closer to you just to turn around and gossip about you and your family.

• They will never acknowledge your success. When you notice that people can't be glad that you've reach your goals and success, and they try to act like it is nothing, you better watch out for them. They try to diminish your work and what you had to do to get there, if you keep these kinds of people long enough in your inner circle eventually their downplaying words will have an effect on your self-esteem and you start to doubt yourself, and once you do that they have you exactly where they want you.  

• For no reason they will dislike you. You can be friends with someone for a while and all of a sudden they distant themselves from you. Some people just can't handle you having success in your life, it will force them to realize that they themselves have not achieved anything they ever wanted in their life, so their insecurities will most likely make them turn their backs on you.

• They flat out say it to your face, in a joking manner. Be careful with people who always say negative things they don't like about you but then turn around and say it's a joke, or that you  took it way too serious, and notice how they always have something negative to say to you when you all are around other people. They actually are speaking their true feelings towards you, but aren't man or woman enough to admit it. Once you see a so-called friend act like that it's time for you to exit that friendship/relationship.

• Sometimes they are jealous of you because they want to be you. Everything you do, they will try to do it better. There is a competition going on and you're not even aware that you are a part of it. These people will watch and imitate everything you do.

   

All I can advise you to do is to listen to your inner voice and don't ignore the red flags.

Happy Easter Sunday

Although we are going through tough times right now, and this Easter Sunday is definitely not how we expected it be, nonetheless I still want to wish everyone a happy Easter Sunday.

Today is the day that Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was executed on a cross, on good Friday. On the third day Mary Magdalena went to the tomb where Jesus Christ was buried and saw that it was empty, an angel told her that Jesus had risen. God the Father raised Jesus from the dead.

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?"      ~ John 11:25-26 ~

Normally a lot of people would celebrate Easter Sunday, by going to church today, only that can't happen this year, but don't let that stop you to acknowledge the real reason why we celebrate Easter Sunday.


Now, more than ever, we see that there is nothing else, we as people can do but to lean on Jesus Christ. In this time we should get closer to God, put our trust in Him & pray that also this shall pass.

Quarantaine To Do List

Unless you have been living under a rock, everyone is aware that there is a pandemic going on. The world just shut down due to this dangerous Covid-19 virus that has been spreading around the world. No matter what part of the world you live in right now, we all go true the same.
Most of us are living under quarantine, kids are at home, people can't go to work or have lost their jobs, only the people with essential jobs are allowed to work. There are some cities and countries that are on full lock down or are heading that way.

We live in insecure times right now, we don't know what's about to happen next or when this all will end or how it will end. Nobody could've imagine when we were thinking about our goals for the new year, that the day would come that the whole had to stop their day-to-day living and that we all became one.

We know that what's going on right now in the world is not something to take lightly or to joke about, it's very serious and people are dying everyday due to this virus, thankfully there are a lot of recovery taking place also. Let us take the precautionary measures to prevent this virus as much as possible.

In the meantime that most of us are under quarantine, here are some tips for you to do, to keep you busy.

Quarantine To-Do List

• Get closer to God. Read your bible, start praying & fasting. Now that you're required to stay at home, it's a good time to build up your relationship with the Lord and get closer to Him. For all those believers in The Most High that have turned their backs away from Him, or just haven't spent enough time with Him anymore, its time for you to return to your God. Also, for those that don't believe in Him, maybe a suggestion for you is to get to know Him.

• Clean out your room. No more excuses, clean out your closet, your kitchen, your bathroom, every little corner in your house. I can't imagine how clean and neat most houses are right now, with all these restriction we're on, you have enough time to clean out your messy closet and get rid of all those old clothes and other things you don't need. While you're on this cleaning tour, why not redecorate your living space as well.

• Read books. You have more than enough time on your hands to catch up on your reading list, so, why not start today! While you are on quarantine don't waste your time on foolishness, but instead educate yourself and get some knowledge by reading books. 

• Let the creative side of you come out. The whole world is in a panic due to this pandemic, everyone is talking about the same thing, and this will go on for a while. Through all the chaos and the whole world falling a part, it's important to have some kind of relief and don't lose your sanity. Now more than ever it's important to let your creative side come out, start painting or start your YouTube channel and create your own content, start writing a book or get your opinions out there and write your own blog, the limits are endless, let loose and be creative.

• Learn a new skill. If you've always wanted to learn a new skill or develop the one you already have, now is a good time to start. Don't just sit around and wait for the day you get released out of quarantine, no, use this time wisely. Learn another language, learn more about finance or whatever skill you want to evolve.

I hope you can keep yourself busy during this hard & difficult times, but most of all keep safe and follow the precautionary measures taken in your city

5 Tips On Becoming A Better You

In this short time we have to spend here on earth, one of the things you can do is to become a better person. You will help yourself and eventually the people surrounding around you, so why not make this world a little better by starting with yourself.
So, let's get right to it and let me give you some tips to become a better you.

Have self-love & Find your self-worth

First, one of the most important things to do is to start loving yourself, appreciate yourself and find your self-worth. There is no one out there who can give you these tools in life but yourself, as long as you don't see yourself as a person that is worthy or someone who can be great, there is no point for others to convince you in this aspect.
Be nice to you and encourage yourself with the right words, don't talk down or speak negatively about yourself and your actions, not even as a joke. Words are very powerful, so be careful what you speak and empower yourself with the right words.

Don't care what others think of you

Another way to step into a better version of yourself is to not be bothered by other people their opinions and assumption about you. Do you! Be you and stop thinking what others will say, this is one way to build your self-esteem up. Once you realize that this life is yours and that you only have one chance here on earth, there is nothing better than to do the things in life that YOU want to do, set up the goals that you want to accomplish, go in any direction in life that you want to go.
Everybody has a dream that they want to achieve, some people are afraid and some have given up on their dream due to what life has thrown at them, now that they see you move forward on your hopes and believes, they'll try to break your dreams in any means necessary.  Don't be one of them and continue on what you believe is right for you.

Find your passion

In everything, you do to become a better person it's also important to find your passion, find something you like to do and develop yourself to be better in it. Your passion can be something you have made your career out of or a hobby that you want to spend more time on. Once you start growing and be better in this area you want to do the same in other parts of your life.

Be disciplined

It doesn't matter what you set out to do in life, one thing you have to master is to be disciplined. To be disciplined means to do the important things even when you don't feel like it, you still do it, because you know that in order for you to move forward you have to do these things. Self-discipline is maybe one of the most difficult things to do, but it must be done. Without any self-discipline you'll just make things harder on yourself, and you will be stuck in your comfort zone forever.

Take action

Now it's time for you to take action, don't sit on your behind and dream about how your better version will look like, No!! Instead, get up and make this life change happen.

Compete With Yourself

The first week of the new year or should I say the new decade, is already behind us. I hope you enjoyed your first week and haven't forgotten about all those 'new decade' resolution you we're so excited to do. Don't let these first weeks of this year pass you by without you even working on your goals, if you don't, before you know it six months has passed you by and you not even accomplish one goal you've set for yourself.


First thing first, anything you decide to do in your life you have to make sure that you are doing it to become a better version of yourself. In this lifetime the most important thing to do to become a better you, is to compete with yourself, only you and nobody else.

Many people don't realize that competing with others will make you depressed in life, it will make you a negative and bitter person, because you'll never be satisfied with yourself nor your life.
By always trying to be better than the person next to you or to have more than them, you will eventually lose yourself.

Constantly looking at others and being focused on what they are doing & having, you become jealous of their journey in life, unconsciously you are waiting on their demise. Once you become bitter & jealous of people that are prospering, you are blocking your own blessings. Don't keep focusing on others and spending your time and energy on them, even if it's for two minutes, it will make it impossible for you to find your own passion and turn this into your own success.

You only have one lifetime on this earth, why spend it on competing with others and in the meantime losing yourself. Time is one thing that will never wait on you, so do yourself a favor and start competing with yourself to be the best you can be.
