Cut It Out

You know what I'm sick and tired of? I'm tired of talented, smart, gifted, beautiful women dimming and dumbing down because somebody can't take them 100 proof. Honey, time is out for that. It's not noble, special or recommended. You may think it's the good christian way to be, but it's not.

When are you going to put you on that "to do" list? You know the one. It's massive, with all the things you need to do. But, you are not on that list at all. Why? Because when it comes to you, you put off doing. You put off getting your exams. You don't have time to go to the doctor. You self-medicate.

You put off going with your friends because Little Billy has a game and little Ciara has a camping outing. You continue putting you and your desires on the back burner. You are passed over or ignored at work. You do all the work, but get none of the accolades. You smile bravely as someone is promoted.

I hate when I see a woman spending lots of money on yet another pair of Jordans or designer outfit for her children while she is making do with last years old coat or shoes. The children are stepping out in style like they work somewhere. Now I'm not saying that you need to just neglect everything. I am saying you should add your name to the list. I will never get tired of reminding you that it's your time. 

Right now, this minute! It's time for you to get yours. To do the things you want to do. It's time to stop looking at others living their lives and telling yourself your day is coming. It is. Honey right now. Your day is here. Now, this day. All you need to do is make up your mind that you are going to do something for you. I mean really do something.

Take that art class you have been wanting to take. Learn how to dance, take a singing class. what is it that you have been wanting to do? If you could do anything you wanted to do, and you knew you couldn't fail, what would you do? Come on play with me. Go do something girl, it is time out for the woe is me pity parties.

Life is happening. Stop missing out!
