Happy Serenity Saturday! To be honest…it’s another Saturday of me…not feeling…serene! But I “whoosa” and I blog anyways because if there is one thing that we should strive for…it’s serenity! Today I want to remind you that you should never work harder at someone else’s dreams…than you do your own!?? Lets soak that up for a second….what are your dreams? No matter what age you are…I know you have some. I have heard it’s harder to follow your dreams and passions when you have a family because you always have to put their needs first. I cannot speak on trying to following your dreams with a family but I beg even you parents to not give up on all your dreams! Now to the rest of you! Yes! Those of you who have had your dreams sidetracked because of depression, heartache, self esteem issues, negative people, or just got up and frustrated with the fact that it hasn’t happened yet. HOLD ON AND DO NOT GIVE UP! Take me for example. On average I pull 50-80 hour work weeks at my day job! This schedule is not only breaking my body but sometimes my spirit. My managers always expect me to work harder for their dreams and their companies because I don’t have a family of my own and they are use to seeing me work my fingers to the bone! Well in September 2015, the joke was on them! I started this blog on Tumblr first and then in December 2015 launched my self hosted site!?? The Good Lord made it that I have more passion to write you guys as much as I do on my long commutes than I do on my days off!??That’s right…my struggles have inspired me! I put this blog BEFORE my day job and I write you guys extra early in the morning where my mind is fresh and my spirit is on fire! I am now working harder at my dreams than I am theirs! It took some discipline and some commitment but what I’ve found is I have no issue committing to myself! I just needed to have the courage to do so! I stepped out of my comfort zone and took a leap of faith that my generally tired and broken self (speaking of my physical body) would awaken when I was stepping in my purpose…even if that purpose starts at 4am!?? When I tell you I am always up with my parent friends…it’s no joke! While some of you are rocking your babies…I’m on the move! This blog and building my brand are dreams…other people saw in me. They are now in fact my new dreams and I’m so in love with it! Whether we laugh or cry here at Kingston Expressions, my heart is filled with joy as I put my blood, sweat, and tears into everything I write on here! Let’s soak that in…MY BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS….FOR MY DREAMS! When are you going to step into your purpose?! When are you going to make yourself so uncomfortable that you are soaring in faith?! Do not be afraid and do not give up! Your purpose is worth that much! It’s worth the risk! It’s worth the hardships! It’s worth the breakdowns! It’s worth the moments you feel lost! And it sure is worth the moments where you find out who you are and what you are made of! Walking in faith to a find our purpose and living it out…equals SERENITY! Start taking steps towards your dreams! I don’t care if they are baby steps! Any movement is better than none! ?? ~KJM blogging on the subway during this dreary but promising Serenity Saturday?
