HELLO!!!! Look, Do Not Complain About Your Journey!!! Just Commit!

The journey to the person you see yourself being can be a tedious process...especially if what you envisioned seems far from reality.

I have a vision of myself...I see a MORE confident woman. I see a woman that walks with her head held high. I see a woman that is at peace with her self, life, her past, her identity and a woman at peace with where she is headed. Starting out my journey, I was like that strong woman I see myself as is soooo far from my reality. When will I get to just feel like I am at peace with any part of my life story. Looking at the end product sometimes can be so frustrating. I realize if you were able to see that vision, then you must trust the path your suppose travel is already in the works. Life has its assignments from God that you will be given. I could see myself singing. I could see myself writing uplifting inspirational songs. I could see a confident Shelley, singer Belle Moniqe, writing something on her blog in the about me section. I could see my monthly income being what i predicted. I could see myself performing live on a regular basis. I could see all of these things. But as I began seeing small changes...I would complain. When will the vision be a  reality. How long do I have to work here and do this. I would wonder when will I just know I am in the right direction.  I could not see that I was already on the path. I could not see the positive actions, small steps of improvements, were making ripple effects in my deep sea of negativity...because progress was not what I was searching for.

I had to realize, on my journey...you must understand you have to check yourself and not complain about the process.

Your not a horrible person just because you are complaining. I am not trying to beat up on anybody about this, because I know how it feels to already want to be at your best. You do get frustrated because the feeling in your heart does not seem to resonate with how you really desire to feel about yourself and your life. Sometimes a little acceptance for where you are in the moment can help you appreciate what is going on and what has already changed in your life. Realize that each new day is a gift. Each day you get up...you have awoken to a day you have never seen before. The breath of life in you...God has allowed you to be a part of a whole new day. In that new day another lesson learned, enlightenment can happen, a test is failed or passed...either way you will not be the same. We must not complain about the process. Sometimes it is good to just take the time to appreciate those in your circle. Its amazing how fast things can change...People come and go... unforeseen things just happen at any given moment. Again do not complain about the process. You miss the point, the lesson at hand when your focus is switched to complaining. 

I realize along time ago...that I must appreciate the process that is shaping me into the best me I could possibly be. 

Enjoy the process of  shaping yourself into the best you...you could possibly be. This is not just good for you, but the world around you. This process is good for the people who will experience you in their world. Someone is watching you on your path of growth. Rest your nerves and see the bigger picture for what it is...I still have to tell myself. Your final thought can not be I am close but not close enough. I am better but not good enough. What is that? I could be at point A but I have grown so I am thankful for the new awareness in me.  There must be gratitude. We have to be thankful...for the first step on a path to healing. Finally...steps and a path for healing. Be appreciative for that path period. We must learn when class is in session. Be aware of when life is teaching...and when life is giving you the opportunity to reset something greater in motion. Complaining will help you say yes to something or a route you did not have to take. Either way though...you will learn from it. So I will say it again., as I preach to myself, do not complain about the process. Everything that is happening in your life right is working towards to greater you.
