Refocus your focus.

There are often times when life throws curveballs at us. Whether it is not getting the job you wanted, keeping the money you saved for or breaking up with someone you love. When instances like that occur, I believe it is a sign to refocus your focus. Life, in my eyes, has a funny way of showing us what we need rather than giving us what we want. 

When situations do not go your way, take the time to refocus your focus. Taking the time to change your focus, will allow you to view things from different perspective. It will also allow you to appreciate the changes in your plans and lead to a better outcome. 

Having a new set of eyes allows you to make better decisions. You expand your mind and thought process. So, take the time to not be angry at the life change but appreciate the life change. Take a breather and change your perspective. Refocus your focus and watch life change for the better.

Patience. Peace. Perseverance.

Recently, I've journeyed through obtaining patience, peace and persistence. When I was younger I never had any of these qualities. Now let me tell you, it didn't just happen in one day. This journey was probably one of the hardest journeys I have ever embarked on. If you find yourself like me, here are a few tips to obtain these crucial qualities. 

1. Start with yourself. I have learned that everything you want in life, you need to start with yourself. Become patient with yourself. This journey will not come overnight, in a day or even in a month. Time is on your side. It is for you and not against you. 

2. Let go of anything negative in your life. When you have negativity in your life, you will never truly progress. Leaving negativity in the past will make room for more positivity and peace. Reverting back to the first point, when you have peace within yourself nothing will truly affect you. 

3. Never give up. No matter the circumstance, situation or answer. Perseverance creates strength and opportunities that you never knew was there. When you take the first no, you will never be satisfied or achieve the goals you have. Keep going and the universe will meet you to take you to the next level.
