One of my greatest concerns is to keep positive, progressive and powerful people around me. I believe that I am influenced by my exposures. What you are exposed to will shape your opinions, your views and your decisions. This is why it is important to be mindful of what your watch and listen too. If you are always in the presence of fearful people that are afraid of things, they can not control, you will find yourself stressing if not fearing yourself.
Negative people are “mental midgets”. Whatever you do, don’t under estimate these types of people. Just this week you ran into one. Your mind was made up as soon as you said something some midget minded individual tried to talk you out of it. Listen, my friends big ideas do not appear to people with no ideas. If something is in your spirit it is because you mind is able to handle it.
The mind is an amazing thing. It can take you places you have been and at the same time change the outlook of that adventure. In other words your can change a situation. You can actually see your way out of a negative situation. That being said, you can also see yourself succeeding in whatever you do.
So in closing, do not allow the mission of the midget minded stop you from moving forward. Keep reaching for the stars. So live and learn, earn and yearn, grow and flow but what ever you do, keep the midget minded people out of range so you do not change!
Halla at Rev!

Is the Cost of Living too high? Or are you living too high?
Times are unbelievably different as to five years ago. I am not even talking about ten or fifteen years just five years ago. Can you remember when gas was 1.50 a gallon or for some of us, when regular gas was at .99. it is amazing at how times have changed. I remember when a two story house was occupied by wealthy people, now I am in one. When you went to the store and had a full basket of groceries, you spent $100.00, now it is close to two hundred dollars.
That being said, we have also increased in standard of living. Most of us make more and have spent more. If it stopped at spending then I would not be writing this blog, reality is it is the monthly obligations that have writing this today. When we look at our debt now compared to five years ago it is outrageous. It would be easy for me to blame it on the cost of living, when reality is, my living is too high.
Here are a few suggestions,
Simplify your lifestyle. You really have just about what you want, so you do not have to just buy.
Clarify your lifestyle. Know the difference between a need and a want.
Ratify your lifestyle. Rent movies, cook your own food, go fishing with your family and cook what you catch. HOME WITH FAMILY is the way.
This is not a fix all to end all but it is a switch up to help with your mix up. If you are doing the same thing you will get the same result. So let me ask yall a question, is your living higher than the cost of living?

Mistakes means Maturity!
What’s up all,
Recently I struggle with copping with mistakes. Mistakes made not by myself but others that cost me great distress. Have you ever placed some level of responsibility in someone hands that need you more than you need them? It is like being a supervisor and you delegate responsibility to workers, now if you do not delegate, you are accused of not being able to trust, if you do delegate responsibility then you will place major decisions in their hands that will impact your life and lifestyle or even job.
Picture this, you have given responsibility for accounting to an employee, you are informed that an invoice will not be paid due to your employee era. You discover that this is not just any invoice but a main invoice that could possibly close your doors. What can we do, stress, H_ _ l ya? Or take a moment and refocus. Well, unfortunately it is both.
I have matured by mistakes like these. Here is my new found philosophy “have low expectations for those you are counting on, this way if they make a mistake or fail to perform you are never disappointed. If they do perform or correctly carry out their responsibility than GOOD.”
This my friend will help you to stay on top of your game. So can you say “I am on top of my game”? Good stay there.

Don’t stress over carbon copies in your life!
Sometimes when you are headed in a positive direction, people are watching. Sometimes those individuals will start envying your successes and achievements. The problem with envy is it turns into jealousy. People do not know what it took to get you where you are. They want the rewards and perks but not the headaches and pains.
When a visionary leads followers to a new place, others try to duplicate the same vision. There is a problem with this because God only gives one person a vision to lead people to a place of idea. If this is the case then the ones trying to duplicate has no vision but a blur!
My friends remain optimistic, because those that follow carbon copies will discover that the one that is leading suffers from a “misty-optic”!

Have I really changed?
If you have asked yourself this question, it is due to several reasons. Here are a few reasons that cause one to ask themselves this type of a question:
1. Someone has or has not notice a difference.
2. You have noticed a change in habits and routines.
3. You see a lack of interest in things and places.
4. You are less patient with people and love ones.
If any of these statements fit you then my friend it is possible that change has happened. The question is not if change is good or bad but knowing what and why change has occurred. This takes a moment of your time to reflect about your past and present. Let’s look at these points to discover where change occurred.
Note that there is a difference between DIFFERENT and CHANGE. If you can identify what is different about you now it will help you understand WHY change has occurred. For example; I am 35 now and what is different about me is I can not eat after a certain time at night, so therefore I have CHANGED my activities at night. At onetime I ate out with friends at night, I can not do that anymore. Now I pick and chose my activities. Can my friends say I’ve changed? Yes!
Everyone might not like the change in your life, well, that is their problem. My friend the truth is, the older we become, our priorities, goals, opportunities and challenges change. If technology changes every year, if car design changes every 5 to 7 years and if times change; why are you stressed about your change?
Finally, you are a better you due to this change. You are now a more grounded person, you are in touch with who you are and now it is about you. Isn’t it about time? Maybe the question is not “Have I Changed?” but “Can they handle my change?” Words of wisdom, If you can not handle change, change will handle you! Can you say “Handle Your business!”.

When you are tired of being tired.
What's up all,
Being tired is only for those who are doing something. lack of activity does not cause one to become tired but sorry and lazy. Here is what you should know about being tired:
1. It means that your life is moving and growing.
2. It means that anything worth having is worth fighting for.
3. Just pause a moment and think about what you have handle up to this point, why are you tripping now?
4. When a camel is over loaded with weight and cannot move forward he fall on his knees and it lets the master know that the load is to heavy. So the master then unloads and then reload the heavy load. You might ask why? well, the weight was not the problem it was how the weight was distributed. The load shifted and need to be re-shift.
Can someone say re-shift me! That is what God has been trying to do in your life RE-SHIFT YOU!

When Life Is Your Sentence!
What’s up all,
All of us have been presented an opportunity to exist. So many people have wasted time and effort to make the best of this sentence. You might ask, why call life a sentence Rev? Well believe it or not it really is, literally as well as figuratively. When you look at it from a literal sense, it is your statement that you make over time to create your story. I wonder what your story is. Or you can look at it figuratively; it is what you make of it. Some have chosen to have an exciting and challenging life while others wait to pattern theirs after someone else.
My friends I encourage you to embrace your sentence with joy and optimism. This will determine how you view life. The question is from what side of the binoculars are you looking through? If you turn it around and look from the large side then what you are looking at will seem small and irrelevant. But, if you will look through the right side the smaller side, you will see things as they really are.
I employ you to start embracing everything that God has for you. Some things will be right in front of you and others will be far off. If you look right both are attainable. So live your sentence and don’t let your sentence end without you. Can anyone say “LIVE”
