2020 was filled with personal and professional rejection. After a year of journaling, I came to understand it wasn’t rejection but rather redirection.

There’s a saying, “sometimes the past can speak to the future.” What if I were to tell you that the puzzle pieces to your future surround you in the present?

It is important to assess whether an individual is willing to make progress or will simply make excuses.

It’s very important to understand the intent behind someone’s actions.

We have to be open to change and stepping outside of our comfort zone.

How often have we chased other people’s timelines because on paper, that seemed like the right thing to do?

As anchors we are strongly driven by our gratitude and respect for family.

Having compassion for others is a superpower.

It's in the voices and hearts of those we cross paths with every day.

We can talk about resolutions all we want, but the reality is that we don’t get what we wish for; we get what we work for.

I often hear people say, “Can we just throw away the year 2020?”

“I never want to see you run away from adversity again!”

“You don’t get what you wish for; you get what you work for.”

“I’m a firm believer that the people who come into our lives are not by coincidence but for a reason that will reveal itself with time.”

“Don’t forget the past can speak to the future.”

“There are no limits when it comes to higher education, going to the military, learning a trade, or becoming successful entrepreneurs.”

“As athletes, we were constantly competing against one another, and once you are retired from the game you can let your guard down and give credit where credit is due.”

“My path in life is a carved out vision from God that has brought me clarity around my continued legacy on this earth.”

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”

“It’s never too late to share praise and gratitude for the positive individuals that grace us with their presence.”
