Staying Positive Through It All

Through it all, no matter what, we have to stay positive. Sometimes we allow others to dictate the way we feel about certain things and then we react on how we feel about those things. We allow their words to get the best of us and reveal something in us that has the ability of impacting our lives. Often times when we speak and there is miscommunication in what is being said. Sometimes it may be due to the listener waiting to respond and not waiting with the intent to listen. With knowing this information, we still have to stay calm and positive. Sometimes we have to use these moments as teachable moments. Talk to the listener and tell them how you feel. See if he or she can listen to everything you have stated first before responding.

Uplifting One Another

I ask you today, how have you challenged yourself to uplift another woman? Will you smile at her hoping to get the same smile in return? Will you put down your pride and tell her she looks nice, even if you don't know her? I charge you all with the responsibility of uplifting your sistah girl by practicing soft and social skills.
