Growth
“To grow , you must be willing to let your present and future be totally like your past. Your history is not your destiny “
– Alan Cohen
Living a Life by Design not by Default
What things do you have to do to live a life by design?
What are your values? Your values drive your life. You set your goals based on your values and you connect them together.
How would you describe your best possible future self? This is a very important question because you need to search deep. Some people have an idea whereas it may be hard for others to really answer this question. Take some time to think how would you like to be your best version in the future and start planning accordingly.
I want to be a person of impact in other people’s lives. Based on that I have created a way of living that I do that every day. I think this is absolutely in me. But I strive everyday to try to make an impact in someone’s life. I don’t have the energy everyday, I am not at my best everyday because life happens but I always have in the back of my mind, hey Janitza make sure you make an impact today because I haven’t seen you trying today.
Lastly, what if fear didn’t get to make your decisions? If fear didn’t get to make my decisions I will never stop writing. Make sure you write those down. What things would you do? Start with the smallest things and then dream big. You will be amazed at all the things you would write ✍ down. Don’t let fear stop you from getting what you want.
If you need help because you feel stuck in your life and or in your next business plan let me know. I’m here to help you create that life that you want so bad.
Until next time,

Why are you still here?
Why are you still here?
Never in my life will I forget this important question. A question that even if you see it like that, and follow your path, you are not going to give it the meaning or the power that it has so much unless you stop, think and analyze it. He asked me that question a little over a year ago, Janitza, why are you still here? I stood up, looked him in the face and answered the question. I gave him a lot of reasons why I was still there. Now, if I tell you, I did not follow my course. I sat in silence and began to answer the question in detail to myself. What he doesn’t know is that day he changed my life. I know he didn’t want to lose me. I know that he knew that I had much more potential than to be enduring things that really did not suit me to endure. From that day on I put my pants on well and said to myself, I deserve more. When it was time to leave he told me, Janitza I envy you, I would like to have my pants on well so that I can do the things you do. Take the risks that you take. And my answer was, “you can do it too”. “The only difference between us is that you don’t want what you dream as much as I want what I dream.” “Dare and you will see.”
The man left me with his mouth open. He texted me at 12:30 am at midnight the other day to ask me for an opinion on something about his business and I gave it to him. He constantly asks me for my opinions. Out of nowhere he texts me with crazy things about him, rather ideas. We are still very good friends. I admire him a lot for other things that I don’t have the pants to do and he thinks I have them on for everything. Haha! I found out that he is now working on his third business. What joy it gave me! I’m crazy to congratulate him in person and let him know that now the one who envies him is me. Haha. Now he’s the one with his pants on. I imagine that his time came like mine came a year ago. Many times I asked him why are you still here? But the question didn’t have the same effect on him as when he asked it to me.
Now I ask you: Fill in your blanks with this question; Why are you still here? Either in an unloved relationship. In an unwanted career, in a toxic friendship, in a place you don’t want to live, in an economic situation that you want to get out of. Ask that question. Meditate and act. And you will see that in a year you will be wondering why I did not ask myself that question before.
Good day.

Forgive Yourself. Perhaps the hardest thing for us to do is forgive ourselves. Nobody is perfect and each of us makes mistakes. Accept that and resolve today to forgive yourself for past mistakes and quit carrying them as emotional baggage.
Be sure to also record the lessons you can learn from your mistakes, and write down how you can apply those lessons moving forward.
You will feel a sense of peace as you let go of pain and anger. Do it today. Do not wait any longer. Let go of your pain and anger. You will be so happy you did, Life is too short to be holding grudges. Enjoy your life to the fullest and forgive yourself today!
God Bless

Start A Daily Practice Of Gratitude
I like to focus on the positive things that happen in my life and remind myself than even when life is challenging, good things are still around me. With a regular gratitude practice you may begin to notice how the challenges has helped you gain insight or grow as a person.
This is one of many things my mom taught me since very little, to always be thankful not matter the circumstances.
Is November first. I am not telling you that you should be thankful this month only, what I am saying is since November is a month we all consider to be a thankful month, may be this is the starting month for you. Once you start doing this I can assure you that your life will change.
Start your day with a grateful heart. First thing after you wake up acknowledge what you are grateful for. I do this in the shower and while I brush my teeth.
I attended to a great annual meeting few years ago that changed my life and I do let people know in writing how much they mean to me and if they changed my life in one way or another I let them know as well. I think you should try it. We should not wait till someone pass away to cry and tell others how much that person means or meant to you. DO IT TODAY!
How about donating money or clothes to a charity of your choice? I am not going to say much about this because it is something I do and I feel is between me and God but I do donate money and clothes. I also volunteer. It makes me feel so good. Sometimes I randomly pick people and surprise them with whatever I know they need. Sometimes I even do things to people and they do not even know it came from me. These are some ideas. Do whatever your heart tells you but know that you are always making a difference.
Post words, photos, objects of gratitude around your home. I keep a little jar. I love looking at the things I write from time to time.
I hope these ideas give you a starting point. I am for ever grateful of my precious daughter. Im grateful for her health, my health, our relationship and for this amazing journey that started three years ago. I can definitely go on and on for all the things I am grateful for but I will not do that now. May be next time. 😊
People ask me all the times, how can you always be laughing and stay happy? Well, one of many things I do is this, I Practice Gratitude. I also can let you know all the things I practice to live a happy and healthy life. I am not perfect and my life is not perfect but my attitude does make a difference in how I deal with challenges.
I hope you have a very happy November and I hope you get to start practicing Gratitude 💗. Please share. We are living pretty hard times and people need to know there is Hope.
“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”
God Bless,
