Don't Sweat the Small Stuff!


Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff!

While scrolling through social media or going through my every day life, I often see and hear people complain about even the smallest things in life.  In fact, some people have a knack for literally make a “mountain out of a mole hill.”  The truth is, no matter where you are in your life, you will always be presented with an opportunity to complain.  Your true growth comes when you choose to see the good in situations rather than always highlight the bad. 

With our jobs and careers, we complain about pay, having to work too many hours, or not getting enough hours.  We complain if we feel management or  our colleagues don't like us. 

Men complain that their women don’t “sex” them enough, but also say that she’s too needy, clingy, or requires too much attention.  Women complain that their men aren't considerate with time, but find fault when he doesn't work the extra hours of overtime, resulting in financial hardships for the household. Singles complain about the dating game.  Married couples complain about being married.  Parents complain about their kids and kids complain about their parents.  

The weather is never right.  The heat is too hot and the cold is too frigid.  The list goes on and on… And while some of the complaints are valid, often times they are completely UNNECESSARY! 

I am a solution driven person.  If you don’t like it, fix it.  If you can’t fix it, learn to like it or at least DEAL with it.  You can’t change everything that you dislike.  Life is about choosing your battles, and I promise at some point in your life, you will wake up and realize that those little things that you spent so much time whining about were ultimately insignificant.

Why waste time arguing and fussing about things that won’t matter on tomorrow?  

Let me be clear, I am not suggesting that you should allow anyone to mistreat you or take advantage of you.  I’m simply saying is: FIGHT WHEN IT MATTERS and if everything has to be a fight, then maybe the problem is YOU!   

So today, make a decision that you won’t SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF and watch fulfillment come to you.

My name is Tiffany LaMeia and I am dedicated to becoming a better me, encouraging you to be a better you, and helping you to understand that you are #ENOUGH!  -Have a Prosperous Day!

What's Driving You?

What’s Driving You? President Barack Obama said "it is only when you hitch your wagon to something bigger than yourself that you find your true potential." Months after I delivered my daughter, Destiny, I began to undergo a series of medical issues.   I experienced hair loss, extreme weight loss, nerve issues, panic attacks, muscle pain, and other health concerns that were challenging to diagnose.   I spent months going back and forth from one specialist to another with no end or diagnosis in sight.   My quality of life was not good and I found myself in a depression. There were times that I would’ve wanted to quit had there not been something greater driving me.   Every single morning, I looked into the eyes of my precious little girl and I found a reason to keep fighting.    She, without knowing it, became my driving factor here on earth.   She is the reason I work so hard. I don’t think it strange that while life was throwing curve b...

How Do You See You?

Five years ago, I was in, what I call, for lack of a better words, a dark place. I call it that because I was in a place where I couldn't see beyond the now. Honestly, I was depressed and oppressed, but I pressed. There were so many nights that I cried myself to sleep. There were days in which I struggled to eat and was just plain old exhausted; but I kept going.  Every single day, I got up! I got up and and I made a conscious decision to push through the pain. You see I am what you would call a "church" girl. I'm that preacher's kid that LIVED at church. I'd heard enough sermons to carry me through practically anything I could face, and I knew that somehow, if I just kept pushing, if I just kept going, something would break. Things would get better, and they did.   Although I was in a dark space, there was a hope that I had, that was bigger than what I could see. My vision, my faith, and my imagination had shown me "me" in a diff...

Can you cover me?

Can you cover me? In a world where relationship goals consist of having some one to "Netflix and Chill," I understand why men are confused about what women want and why women are afraid to tell a man what she wants. Men, your average woman of substance, seeking to be a wife, is not as concerned with how well you are in bed; she's focused on what's going on in your head.  While she might commit to sex in an effort to satisfy you, she really wants more.   She wants to know that you care and are concerned with the things that concern her.  She wants to know that in a world that is cold and cruel that you will be her safe place and her protector.   Many men have pursued me in vein thinking what I wanted was fame, finances, and fun times, when all I really need is to be covered! Yes!  That's it!  Can you cover me with your prayers and your support? Can you cover me with your heart and care for me as if I am the most valuable person in your w...
