#Heartspeak - June 20, 2021 - Accountability...

The key to living life without regret

is making choices and decisions

you can live with. - MzVirtue ❤️

I have been asked quite a bit over the years if I had things in my life that I regretted and would like to change if given the opportunity. I tend to put much thought into my answers when asked questions and this one was no different.

Contrary to the beliefs of a "few", there are no perfect men or women on this earth and there are no doubts in my mind that we all have and/or will make mistakes. This is how we learn. This is how we grow. 

Because this is how we learn and grow, I would not change a thing. Why? Because I absolutely love the person I am AND love who SHE is #becoming. I am growing and learning daily.

I found out pretty quickly in life that actions have consequences. So, basically, any actions I did or didn't take created results. The pressure from peers and society can sway you but at the end of the day, the choice is truly yours.

Many times people follow the advice of folks who do not have to live with the consequences of their action or inaction. Choose wisely. Taking someone's advice does not give you the right to be upset with them if the result is not favorable! 

I could go a lot deeper into this. Maybe at a later date. Bottom line is this: When you make the decision to do or not do something, be sure you are prepared to live with the consequences. That way, if it doesn't work, the person who made the decision is YOU! Own it then move forward!

It all comes back to accountability. You are responsible for your decisions. If you made the choice, why have regrets? Sounds simple, right? It is! 

Please share your thoughts or comments below. Would love to hear them! ☺️

Heartspeak 8/23/2020 - Growing Pains

If life got harder, you probably just leveled up. Now is not the time to give up. Now is the time to dig deeper and press harder. Dreaming BIG often requires you to GROW into the person who will achieve those dreams. #Growth is not always easy but necessary. #growingpains 

Not everyone you began this journey with will continue with you. This was one of the hardest lessons for me to learn but I now understand. I now realize it is by design. Not everyone wants to grow. They are content being where they are and that is ok.

We are all born with seeds of greatness within. It is up to us to tap into it. We each have free will and the choice to choose to reach our full potential or not. If you choose to keep going and growing, it doesn't make you a bad person. Not everyone is called to go higher.  Some people are never meant to be a permanent part of your life. Appreciate the time you had. Smile that you had them. 

Make room for connections at each level. Spend time in rooms where you aren't the most successful person.  Read books. Never stop learning. Embrace this wonderful process. Follow your heart. Be kind. Keep dreaming big and growing until those dreams become reality!  These are some keys to creating the life you truly deserve, the life God planned for you. 

Have a blessed day on purpose!

Heartspeak 8/14/2020 - Words from a Mother

#Heartspeak - #WordsfromaMother #Wisdom #Friday - You've heard it before and you're about to hear it again. When a person shows you who they are, believe them! They don't always show you with words, but those ACTIONS!!! 👀👀👀

When you are generally kind and try to see the good in all people, it can be easy for you to be bamboozled. Ask me how I know? I remember Pastor Zach (RIP) preaching a message once and talking about people trying you and taking your kindness for weakness. He said, "You need you a Pee Wee! Pee Wee is a little crazy and they don't want to mess with Pee Wee! Pee Wee is unpredictable!" I thank God for MY Pee Wee! 🙌 They looked out for me when I was giving my all to those who didn't deserve it! God didn't call me to be a doormat. Thankful for those lessons that are not a blessing!

 

In these times, please use discernment. You need people around you that not only you can trust but you need people who WANT to support your vision. Visions are personal. God gave you yours. It's ok that others don't see it. You can't even share it with everybody. Some folks will not only try to destroy your dreams, but will even pray against it! Be wise with who you share with. If it doesn't add up, stop trying to buy new calculators to fix it. Numbers don't lie, but people sure do!

Envy and jealousy are sick diseases. Those driven by them are not happy, no matter what they say. When you are happy, you truly want to help others. When you focus on your own blessings, you learn to be content even in your pursuit of your dreams. You don't worry about competing with others because you know the person in the mirror is your true competition. You celebrate the success of others because you know it shows what's possible for YOU!

It's self check time! Do your personal assessment of your own life. Examine your heart. Examine your circle. Examine what you tolerate. Never settle for less than you deserve. People will treat you how you ALLOW them to treat you. When a person chooses to walk away from your life, let them. Have #faith, trust God and let HIM remove any obstacles. Get out of your own way! Peace & Love! - MzV

 

 

~HeartSpeak~ What Energy Are You Releasing into the Atmosphere?

~HeartSpeak~

If  diminishing the other efforts of others and trying to tear them down is what is needed to make you feel better about your life situation and choices, you not only need to take a look in the mirror, you need to examine your heart. Otherwise, why would it matter to you?

The energy you put out will be the same that returns to you. Instead of worrying about others, it's time you start fixing what is wrong with YOU! Be transparent AT LEAST with yourself if you can't be with anyone else. God sees and knows all!

This scripture came to my heart:

1 John 4:18 (KJV) - "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."

God has truly been working and continues to work on me. I view the actions of others with new eyes and meaning. I no longer take it personal and realize in these times of spiritual warfare, there is something greater at work. When we learn better, we should truly do better. God is love. If we learned to abide in love, the world would truly be a better place. Too many of us simply not checking ourselves and doing and saying whatever we please. Every action has a consequence, be it good or bad.

Now, more than ever, it is important to not only plant/sow good seed but the WORDS we speak carry much power! Speak life and love if you want more in your life. Speaking hatred and carrying hatred in your heart is not going to harm the other person. It will only harm and consume you!

Just a little food for thought! Think about it! Take a moment to feel the space you are in within your heart before you release it into the atmosphere! Guaranteed what you put OUT will return to you!

Your Current Situation is NOT Your Final DESTINATION!

~Thursday Morning HeartSpeak~

Don’t stay focused on where you are. If you fixate on one bad season, one bad break, then you’re going to get sour, bitter and lose your passion. That season is simply one part in the plan for your life. It is not your final destination. - Joel Osteen

Your current situation is NOT your final destination! When you change the way you look at the things around you, the things around you will change. It's time to stop seeing every test and trial as a weapon sent to destroy you. Some things we need to just GET OVER! People will walk out of your life, lie to you, even take your kindness for weakness. Sometimes it's just a way for them to be moved from you life to make room for those FOREVER type of people!

Things hurt but pain is temporary! One day you will look back and remember not the fact that it happened but that you GOT OVER IT! Life truly goes on and the world does not revolve around even us! Your destiny will NEVER be tied to anyone who leaves you. Can they be used in your process? Absolutely! There is a blessing in the lesson and there is definitely a BLESSING in the PRESSING!

Live, Learn, Love but more importantly, walk away from the "NOUNS" that no longer serve a purpose in your journey! Some of you will get that and realize it's not a negative! ;-)

Peace!

#LifeLessons- Take It Or Leave It

#LifeLessons- Take It Or Leave It

I don't care what issues I may go through with family (everyone does, no perfect family), but you will NEVER see a post about it on social media or in the streets with their names in it. If I can't talk about it with them personally, I will talk to God. I will come to you about it and if we can't resolve it, we can't resolve it. Unfortunately, not everyone, even family, feels that way. Too many don't understand what LOYALTY is. I don't care how many co-signors you get, it doesn't make it right! Some of those applauding are laughing behind your backs.

I have close friends that I know would hold me accountable and put me in check! LOL- that's just how WE roll!

Can't blame it all on the young people either. Don't let it take a tragedy to wake you up. So much going on in this world. I look at the situation with Lamar Odom for instance. The media has done nothing but bash him and try to tear him down. Now in the midst of tragedy, the tune has been changed a little bit. #PrayersforLamar

My God, the Bible is truly fulfilling and speaks of times like this.Open your eyes folks and realize what truly matters. Only what is built with God will last. Remember that!

Love IS what love DOES!

Open Your Eyes, Examine Your Heart

Happy New You family! This is my first post of this wonderful new year. During this time, many people go through a lot of self-evaluation. This was on my heart to share today.

When people SHOW you who they are, believe them. Sometimes we put blinders on or hold on to the potential we may see inside of them. God gives us all free will and we can accept or reject His will or purpose for our lives. Watch out for stumbling blocks. 

The Word tells us in John 10:10 (KJV) "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." Distractions, discord among friends and family, etc... Distractions serve one thing and that is to sap your energy and turn your focus off the things you need to be striving for! 

Once you figure it out, you can still get back on track. We need to continually evaluate our actions and YES, our hearts! When you look in that mirror, you know your full and true intentions and so does God! It's time to be transparent and look deep within. This is what will control how high or low you go in life. 

Guard your gates and examine your hearts! Recognize potential road blocks, call them out and deal with them head on!

Psalm 51:10 (KJV) "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."

Peace, love and blessings!

Walk In Victory

"Anything that does not line up with the vision God placed in your heart should not be seen as permanent but as subject to change."- Joel Osteen

We are powerful beings, not powerless! Sometimes we need help learning to tap into that power. When in doubt, go to the Source, and Creator of all things! Once you change the person you are inside, everything on the outside will change too! As you grow as a person, the things around you tend to grow. Greatness truly does reside in each of us! 

Once you truly grasp this and realize how amazing you truly are and SEE yourself the way God sees you, you become unstoppable! So actually, the only thing stopping you is YOU! Not the person that tries to talk down to you. Fact of the matter is my babies, you never have to accept someone else's perception of who you are! 

When you focus on pleasing man and not God, you give away your power and freedom to walk in His divine will. You also give the same people that lifted you up, the power to tear you down. When God elevates you, not a devil in hell can bring you down! Those trials may come but you pass the test time and time again. You may get knocked down, but you get right back up! 

Something bigger and greater is waiting for you! If you are going through, hold your head up. It gets better! Just keep pressing! Walk in victory and love! Move when God says move and He will take care of the rest! Get what you came here for! 

God bless and much love! ~MzV~ ♥

New Year- New You! Time To Put The Lid On The Trash Can!

Happy New Year everyone! Just wanted to drop in with another Heartspeak to start off 2012!

Ever notice how you can be in great spirits and you get a phone call from one of the negative people in your life and it just sours your entire mood? What about people who constantly complain about everything in their lives, including all the people in it and never have anything good to say?

Those who have been around me long enough know that a common phrase of mine is "Guard your gates!" What I mean by that is be careful what and WHO you expose yourself to! Bad attitudes of others and other negative energy just fights against your positive energy and if you are not careful, you will find yourself unhappy too! Whoever said first that "misery loves company" definitely knew what they were talking about!

There are a few ways you can protect your positive space. First, you have to recognize the sources. Pay attention to your emotions. When you are happy, make a note of what made you feel happy. When you find yourself feeling upset, make a note of that as well. Next, adjust your attitude. Many times its how we look at things that determines the degree they will affect us and also how quickly we will recover from them. A lot of us go through life just letting things upset us and acting as if we have no control over the affects others have on us. This is not true. You have to protect your space like a guard dog and be determined that you will not give anyone that kind of power over you. This does not happen overnight, trust me! It takes practice. Since no one is perfect, there may be times you are caught off guard but the key is being more aware of  your environment and the people around you and take an honest assessment of what is positive and what is not!

You do not have to be anyone's garbage can!  That is exactly how you act when you continue to allow others to dump their negativity on you. It's time to put the lid on the can. We each have to be accountable for our own actions.  I am by no means telling you to turn your back on anyone but a person has to be willing to change for themselves. Encourage them, pray for them but sometimes you will find that the best thing to do is limit or even eliminate the time you spend with them. If they are keeping you from moving forward in life and keeping you from growing, sometimes you have to make the hard decision to let them go. The choice will always be yours!

If you want more positive energy in your life, you will need to make a conscious effort to focus and meditate on the positive things you want more of. This is why I asked you to write down the things that make you happy earlier. Avoid the things that make you unhappy. Do not think about them. Instead think about what brings you JOY! Hopefully I have shared a few tips that will help someone, even if only one. I am extremely thankful to be at a place where I can focus on my blessings and just being happy. That does not mean that things do not happen that I would not like in life. It just means I have made the decision that come what may, I will not allow it to keep me at a place of unhappiness. I have so much to be thankful for.

Wishing you all a year filled with JOY, blessings and love!

Until next time!

I am
