Karma is Her Name

When I wake up every morning, I check my phone for notifications. Sometimes I lay in bed and scroll through my timeline on all of my social sites to see what is current. One thing that I have noticed is many people using the hashtag, #unapologetic. I use the hashtag as well; in fact, I use it so much, that it became my mantra. I learned that there is nothing wrong with being unapologetic about who you are but I began to realize that I applied #unapologetic to what I did.

We are all free to choose what path we want to take, what God we want to worship, and even who we want to love. We can be as unapologetic as we choose; however, we have to answer for our actions.

A Bible verse found in the book of Ecclesiastes 7:20 reads, “Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.”

We are expected to indulge in temptation but with repentance, we are supposed to learn how to curve our sin nature.

Wisdom can represent how #unapologetic a person really is. When you know better, you do better. When you are enlightened, you understand what you have to lose. Somethings in life are not worth losing and one thing that I personally hate wasting is time. Our life is based on time and what we do with it.

Our actions come in a full circle and meet us with reward or punishment. Who really wants to answer to punishment? The choices we make determine how much time it will take to reap what we asked for. 

You can pray for a marriage but depending on how you got into the bond, that can determine your relationship in the future. For instance, if you met your mate while they were committed to someone else, how could you not expect infidelity to be a future issue? The issue may not arise instantly but in the long-run your actions will meet you and Karma will be right behind your choices.

Instead of acting and waiting for Karma to bite back, just choose what is right! That may sound difficult and I won’t lie and say that living righteously is easy. As I previously stated, when you know better, you do better. Be #unapologetic for living honestly, not for getting over or finessing because everything comes to light.



Remember, Karma is her name.

If I Had Only...

Life can be as fulfilling as you make it. When people begin focusing on what the next person has, they miss the true treasures in their lives. You will never be satisfied if you cannot appreciate how God has blessed you. I can remember a church sermon where my pastor discussed this topic and he explained it beautifully. Two families were brought to the front of the congregation, a family of three and a family of five. The family of five lived in a six-bedroom home and the family of three lived in a two bed, one bathroom home. He compared the two families' access to resources that provided for their own needs. The pastor then asked how the family of three could be envious of the other family for having more, when both families have exactly enough for their means? Jealousy is a part of everyone’s personality. Siblings can be envious of one another and be given the exact same things. Employees can be jealous of another employee because their work is always recognized. ...

Forgive Yourself

Life is challenging but we are not put here to live in struggle. Struggle is nothing more than life lessons. There is absolutely nothing wrong with failure, we can't always come on top. When a person makes a mistake, experience teaches us. Perfection does not exist in man. There is no good in holding disappointment within yourself because everyone messes up. We are accountable for our life choices and the actions that we take, however, we can not harbor our mistakes. Consequences can be harsh but with forgiveness we have a gateway to a fresh start. For example, it is hard to live up to certain people's expectations. I have disappointed quite a few people because of the choices that I made. Self-condemnation was one of the heaviest crosses that I grew up having to bare. I could not bring myself to asking for forgiveness, nor practicing how to forgive myself. I realized that withholding my mistakes, left me stagnant. I was stuck in denial and I made it more difficult ...

Meant to Be...

Sometimes what we want is not what we actually need. In some circumstances, our desires are harmful and the course of our Indigo Trip tend to divert our path from that indulgence. It can be painful and disappointing when you are not able to obtain your wants. Self-interest can distort the bigger picture, which maps out your destiny. There are components in life that seems like they are guaranteed (love, health, wealth). Your journey takes you on different courses making these guarantees appear to be far-fetched. Do not be fooled because things did not go as you planned.  I can remember a complete stranger telling me to never follow my heart; instead, I should follow my gut. I do not focus too much on the location of my faith and intuition because I know that light is within me. I had to learn how to trust fate, rather than trusting my own fallacies and fictional scenarios. There has been times where I would pray day and night for the opportunity to reach what I thought I...
