God, I give up.
Me: I QUIT! This is just too much for me to handle.
God: I'm confused...I thought this is what you wanted?
Me: It is God, but I didn't think it would be this hard.
God: Ohhh...I see. So in other words you thought I was just going to hand it to you. I've told you time and time again that I help those who help themselves and that anything worth having will not come easy. I hear a lot of people talk about what they want, but I see very few working to get it.
Me: But God I thought you said you would give me the desires of my heart!
God: I will. But first you have to EARN IT! What have you done to prove your worthiness to me? How is it fair for me to reward you when there are other people who have worked harder than you? Do you honestly feel that you are more deserving than them? If so, you are more spoiled and arrogant than I thought. Struggle builds character. I'm trying to build you, not break you. Diamonds are made under pressure. Do you want to be a diamond or a rhinestone?
Me: A diamond, God.
God: Then ACT LIKE IT! Work hard become a leader, be lazy become a SLAVE! Do you understand me?
Me: Yes sir.
P.S.- Never give up :)

Does someone else's success equal our failure?
Does someone else's success equal our failure? Of course the answer is no... but why do so many of us feel this way? If we see someone flourishing in the same field as us, instead of giving that person their props we try to downplay what they're doing. And we do this because we're not completely secure in our abilities. We have this mentality where there can only be one at the top. We have this mentality where if we compliment others on their accomplishments, it takes away from our accomplishments. If a person is more advanced than us at something, it makes us feel as though we're not good enough. Instead of being inspired by that person and admiring that person, we envy that person. The reason I keep saying "we" is because this is something I've struggled with. But there's a few things that I've realized...
1.) When you're inspired by someone or admire what they're doing, but you refuse to give them credit NO GOOD WILL COME TO YOU! The universe feels that resistance.
2.) When you downplay or speak negatively on something positive that someone is doing YOU ARE BLOCKING YOUR BLESSINGS! And talking bad about them is NOT going to stop their blessings.
3.) Last but not least... what God has for you, is FOR YOU! We all grow at different paces and we all have different paths to take even if our destination is the same.
So with that being said... spread love!!! Happy Friday :)
