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!

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...

Men Hurt Too!

Men Hurt Too! Ever wondered why women live longer than men? Ever felt like you had to force your husband, father, son, or male family member to go to the hospital or doctor when you knew he was really bad sick? Ever wondered why men wait until it is practically too late to seek medical help or psychological advice? Maybe you haven’t because the society we live in seldom takes time to focus on the emotional state of our men. We spend countless hours coaching and mentoring our ladies on how to deal with pain, but when was the last time you saw a platform that helped men deal with theirs? I know it sounds absurd to think that a man, who is alive and breathing with blood running through his veins, will hurt if you stomp his toe or bleed if you cut him, but it happens. Why? Because he’s human, and while he may never admit it, he not only feels physical pain, but emotional pain too. Yep! That’s right! The cat is out the bag. MEN HURT TOO! ...

You've Changed!

Ever had someone tell you “you’ve changed,” as if it was an insult? I have too; and my response was “of course I’ve changed.” I mean what is the point of living if you’re not going to change? Honestly, if we all take a look at our pictures from birth, adolescents, teen years, college years, and even last year, I can guarantee that something about us have changed. As long as we live, we will change; but I have found that people are more accepting of organic change than they are of intentional change. A few years ago I made a conscious decision to change. This change was the equivalent of going into a dressing room and changing from sweats to a formal gown. It was drastic, and it was intentional. I knew that I had been living a sub-par life. I wasn’t utilizing my education and experiences to help others, and I had gotten in a place where I settled for mediocre. I was tired of status quo and determined that there was more to lif...
