Take Back Your Life!

As I write to you, I have just returned from a long overdue vacation. I am rested, refreshed and refueled to achieve my goals. I hope that you had an incredible week as well. We are literally in the last week of the second quarter. It is very important that you combat distractions and keep your concentration. It takes more than wishful thinking to achieve greatness. You must engage your will if you want to thrive and live your greatest life. I dare you to eliminate distractions this week and make strategic moves in the direction of your destiny. Your focus determines if you flourish or fail.

What is threatening your success? What traps are keeping you from living on top? WIll you dare to take back your life? Honestly, the number one thing threatening your success is your own thinking. For years, I lived as a psychological slave to my own limitations. Like many of you, I made excuses for why I could not elevate my life. I also blamed others for why I was not experiencing breakthrough. Then one day I had to own up to the real reason why I was not succeeding. It was not opposition or lack of opportunities. The real reason I was not succeeding was that I was restricted in my thinking. I talk to people all the time that blame circumstances and conditions for why they cannot change their lives. Truthfully, the real reason they cannot change their lives is that their thinking won’t allow them to. When I got tired of my thinking threatening my success, I make a decision that I was going to change my mind. It was not an easy goal but I was ready to grow and live at the next level. You have to get tired of living at the bottom. Make a decision right now that you are going to stretch and live your greatest life.

After I made the decision to change my thinking, I started to identify traps that kept me from living on top. Traps of fear, insecurity, lack of identity and procrastination are just a few of the things that were holding me back. Most people are shocked when I bring up these traps because they see the finished product. However, not many people see the years of development that have brought me to the place that I am today. I do not want you to just read this and get inspired. Inspiration is a dangerous way to live your life. Inspiration does not last long and it does not require much from you. On the other hand, empowerment forces you to move beyond an emotional feeling and compels you to take action on the truths that you have heard. So I want you to look at your own life right now. Identify traps that are restricting your ability to live on top. You know the prevailing thoughts and imprisoning emotions that stand in the way of your greatness. It is time to confront everything that is constricting you from living your greatest life. Everything that has tried to trap me I have engineered for transformation in my life.

As I was away on vacation all week, I was able to do a lot of reflection and introspection. I thought about the turbulence I have experienced over the last six months. In addition, I thought about the conflicting news I received just before I went on my vacation. Jamelle Sanders International has been a great blessing to people all over the world. However, it has also been a great battle for me. Just a few months ago I thought of completely walking away from it and moving on to something else. Thankfully, one of my mentors had a conversation with me that changed the course of my life. Why am I saying all of this? I am saying all this because I realize that I had to make a choice. The choice I had to make was to take back my life. I want to be very honest with you for a moment. Most people are not living their own lives. They are living the failures, heartbreaks, and disappointments of the past. If you cannot say amen, then you can at least say ouch! I know this is true because I have lived it. You see the platform, awards ,and influence but you do not see the disappointments, trials ,and failures. I had to make a decision to take back my life. Taking back my life means owning my moments, appreciating my process and abandoning everything that stands in the way of my advancement. Taking back your life means not giving another waking moment of your life to nursing old wounds. In essence, to take back your life is to refuse to live another day limited and without liberty. That decision changed the trajectory of my life and put me on the path to fulfilling my prophetic destiny.

In closing, this has been an incredible week for me. I feel rejuvenated and reawakened in many ways. I spent a lot of time reflecting, enjoying me moments and taking a break from work. More importantly, I learned and discovered so much about myself during my vacation. I will be spending a lot of time unpacking those lessons and discoveries and engineering them all to elevate my life to new heights. You were not created to be miserable. You were created to live a meaningful life. Your days of simply existing are over. It is time for you to start thriving and becoming the person you were created to be. Do not allow anything else to steal another moment from you. Take back your life!
