Unique Speaks: Make Sure You Pick UP What You Put Down

on December 12, 2023 Health & Wellness Motivational Moments Straight Official Magazine add comment

Stay Away

Make Sure you pick up the goals you put down! Reevaluate what you enforce! Stay away from people who don’t appreciate ALL the little things you do… like spending money you really don’t have, paying for food you’re not eating, and even giving rides to places you don’t need to go! Do you get my drift? Like me, a perfect example, I offer good intentioned prayers, words of encouragement, boost up your confidence, and I even listen to your problems & end up making them my own. Not to mention I be the first one to reach out to everybody! Am I stepping’ on anybody toes or knocking at your front door? People only care about what you can do for them, and some will even have the audacity to take your help and go help somebody else. But what behooves me is they really forget to help those who have REALLY helped them.

On The Flip Side

On the flip side, sometimes the pure in heart humans such as myself tend to do things people really didn’t ask for because that’s just who we are. Make sure you pick up the goals you put down. When we fail to respond in this manner that we deem to be appropriate, it leads to resentment. Sometimes we bite off a bit more than we can chew only because we see a need and feel as though we should be the one to meet it.

MOTIVATIONAL MOMENT: YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT!

on February 25, 2022 Da Butterfly Effect Motivational Moments add comment

Hi my Beautiful Faces. This Motivational Moment is a reminder that sometimes YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT. Recently, I was thinking about how this year is moving fast. In doing so I remembered the song, “LOSE YOURSELF” by Eminem. As old as it may be, the lyrics still remain true. We are approaching the third month of 2022. Have you started working towards your goals? Did you talk yourself out of an opportunity? Are you afraid to try? Now if you answered yes to either question, keep reading!

I HEAR YOU KNOCKING

Have you ever heard the phrase “I hear you knocking, but you can’t come in?”. Well, that’s how you are behaving if your opportunity is at the door but you are afraid to answer. How long will you allow the knocking to continue before you open it? Don’t waste time, go for it.

IN CONCLUSION

In conclusion, great opportunities usually come once in a lifetime. The question is how will you handle that moment. It’s important to take full advantage because you will only get one shot. Living your life wondering what might have been is not a good feeling. Life is meant for us to live and take chances. It’s better to try and fail, than to never try at all and wonder what if. Whenever you become unsure, refer to this Motivational Moment, and allow the lyrics of the song to encourage you to do what’s best.

Motivational Moment: Love Yourself First

Hi my Beautiful Faces, I’m back again and I got some help from my girl, Mary J. Motivational Moment: Love Yourself should be the foundation to your new year. I strongly believe you can’t love someone else until you know how to love you. This may come across as cliché but it’s the truth. Have you been asked, “What do you like?”, What do you desire?”, or “What are your dreams?” but couldn’t answer. Now if this is you, it’s time to LOVE YOURSELF FIRST. An ounce of hesitation to either of these questions means you may be investing too much energy into other people.

MONTH OF LOVE

January we reset our life and set goals. February is viewed as the Month of Love in a relationship. I challenge you to make the next few weeks about you. Find ways to love you more. Work on your relationship with yourself. Take time to discover what makes you happy. Today is the perfect starting point. It’s ok to do for others but self negligence is a no no. It’s 2022 and we have work to do.

YOU ARE AMAZING

Plain and simple YOU ARE AMAZING and it’s time you act as such. Mary J. has some great new music to add to your playlist. Everyday you get up look in the mirror and tell yourself how amazing you are. The key is there must be belief in those words. Prepare for the day and let the world see you loving on YOU.

MOTIVATIONAL MOMENT: Give Thanks

Hi my beautiful faces. Motivational Moment: Give Thanks is my tribute to one of America’s favorite holidays, Thanksgiving. On last month many celebrated with others, while some viewed it as just another day. Personally, I think it was a great time to GIVE THANKS for all that you have. This is something we should do everyday, but my prayer is last month you took the time to truly look at your life and say THANK YOU.

DAILY GIFT

Every morning you have an opportunity to see a new day. That is called a present. Take pride in that gift and value it. Things maybe bad right now, but GIVE THANKS. No matter your situation try to say thank you. I believe everything happens in our life for a reason. Sometimes we don’t see the purpose right off. If you hold on, at some point there will be a moment of reflection. At that time you will start to put all of the pieces together.

NO LIMITS

Motivational Moment: Give Thanks is not limited to one month. This is the season to reflect and rejoice. In the upcoming year strive to give thanks for the small things. In doing so you will have a new appreciation for the bigger wins. Giving thanks releases a lot of stress that we put on ourselves. Everyone is worried about not being valued or appreciated, so it’s easy to get caught up in who didn’t say THANK YOU.

I gotta give thanks, you know?
I never really met nobody who was truly successful that wasn’t thankful (Straight up, woah)
For the good and the bad (Go time)
It made me who I am
DJ KHALED – Thankful

Now my Beautiful Faces, I need you to take notes from my guy DJ Khaled. He understands the importance of giving thanks, no matter the situation. The good and the bad play a part in who we are. Keep in mind that everyone will not tell you thank you. People will see your hard work and never say a word, that’s ok. You continue to strive for greatness because you will receive a THANK YOU when you least expect it. Your goal is to say thank you, appreciate life and all that comes with it

Alright my beautiful faces I hope you have an amazing day. Be sure to come back for some more motivation. Until then Straight Official Magazine. If you need another dose of KimdaSSB, check me out on https://www.power99damixx.com/ Monday 8 – 10pm CST or follow me on Instagram @Mzkim2012.

MOTIVATIONAl MONDAY: NEVER GIVE UP

TAKE A BREAK

It’s a new week and we are here to see it. Motivational Monday: Never Give Up is a two part encouragement piece. One part for you and one for me. With all of the madness going on we all need some encouragement. My beautiful faces in the time of trials and tribulations GIVING UP may seem like the best thing to do, but it’s not. This is something I can relate to. Take a Break or two if necessary but never give up. Taking the “easy way out” is a one way ticket to guilt, unhappiness and some times depression. The moment you walk away from you goals, dreams and aspirations, you spend the rest of your life wondering “what if”.

RE-EVALUATE

After you take a break it’s time to RE-EVALUATE. Review the things you are working on. Write down the issues you are having but NEVER GIVE UP. Most of the time when things are getting hard ,we are ready to run, but you must trust the process. Anything in life that you strongly desire to have require a lot of hard work and dedication. Remember why you started your journey. Your WHY should fuel your motivation. During this time of evaluation look at your surroundings and remove anything that’s standing in the way.

SET THINGS STRAIGHT AND NEVER GIVE UP

Like I said in the beginning this was my way to encourage you as well as myself. More times than not situations will arise and make your journey difficult. It has happened to me several times. So it’s easy to let you know that GIVING UP is not an option. TAKE A BREAK, RE-EVALUATE and then SET THINGS STRAIGHT. You got this love. Troubles are not permanent. If your dream is something you truly desire…KEEP GOING. Your reward shall be great at the end.

It isn’t where you came from. It’s where you’re going that counts.

TIME FOR A CHANGE

Motivational Monday, Fall in Love with You is my reminder to you. Saturday we changed our clocks. To most that’s just a normal thing to do during this time of year. Let’s take this opportunity to do an inventory of your life. Ask yourself a few questions. Am I still in love with me? Do I use my time wisely? Am I a top priority in my life? If you had an ounce of hesitation, it’s time for a change.

FLAWS AND ALL

My reminder may seem easier said than done, I understand. Wiz Khalifa said it best, “Love Everything You Hate About Yourself.” Time to stop having reasons to NOT love yourself. With our unique flaws and all, we are wonderfully made. Embrace your imperfections. If you you desire a change, go for it. Remember all the rights and wrongs in your life set you apart from the rest.

PLAIN AND SIMPLE…FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU

My beautiful faces, the best way to get back to loving you is to DO IT. Plain and simple. No easy way out. No gimmicks. Just FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU!!! If your busy life got in the way of you taking care of you, that’s ok, it happens. Knowing is half the battle. Now let’s get back to doing things you love. Motivate yourself. Date yourself. If there is something you really desire, don’t wait, go for it. Remember you deserve the world.

My beautiful faces, you have a purpose and a part to play. It’s key to dress for the role you desire to be. As a business person, invest in the clothes to match.

Motivational Mondays: Domestic Violence!

on October 11, 2021 Da Butterfly Effect Motivational Moments add comment

#GetSOM via @mzkim2012

ABUSE IS ABUSE & LOVE SHOULDN’T HURT YOU TO DEATH

Hi my beautiful faces and happy Monday! It’s October so let’s discuss something very important, which is domestic violence. This subject is dear to me. I encourage you all to remember LOVE SHOULDN’T HURT YOU TO DEATH. For most of us, at some point in our lives we have witnessed abuse. Whether it was mental, physical, emotional or verbal. The way we were raised you probably didn’t think of it as a problem. In certain homes it’s a family rule to practice the saying “What goes on in this house stays in this house.” If only our ancestors knew how much pain that statement would cause.

FACTS ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

The statics are alarming. According to https://ncadv.org/statistics “On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men.” That means by the time you finish this article at least 60 people will experience abuse. The numbers are hard to process, but it’s our reality.

1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experience severe intimate partner physical violence, intimate partner contact sexual violence, and/or intimate partner stalking with impacts such as injury, fearfulness, post-traumatic stress disorder, use of victim services, contraction of sexually transmitted diseases, etc.

THERE IS HOPE

With the numbers being as scary as they are, there is hope and prevention. Due to training, technical advancements and awareness more people are becoming SURVIVORS of domestic violence. It’s so important we continue to bring light to this situation because there are so many affected by it. I am so happy that more victims are willing to share their stories and experiences. That alone gave others the motivation they needed to get out.

When the silence isn’t quiet
And it feels like it’s getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying
But I promise we’ll take the world to its feet
And move mountains

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAYS: Continue To Be YOU!

Haters are good at what they do…NOW CONTINUE TO BE YOU!

#GetSOM via @mzkim2012

What’s happening my beautiful faces?! It’s Monday honey so let’s get this good MOTIVATION going. As much as we would like for haters to go jump in the nearest river, they are here to stay. Truth is, some of them thrive off of the foolishness and drama they cause. Now if you think you are the only one with haters, think again. Today we will look at my girl Lizzo and how she deals with the madness.

Gotta take a deep breath, time to focus on you.
Lizzo – Good as Hell

Since the moment she stepped on the scene as a bold and confident artist, Lizzo has dealt with her fair share of haters. No matter how good her music is or how fly her fit is…someone somewhere is in the shadows waiting to say something negative. Sounds familiar? Honey, when it comes to being the center of cruel jokes and horrible memes, my girl had to endure it all. From jokes about her size, songs and even her attire. Now this is where the lesson comes in…She admitted it hurt a little, but each time she came back with something stronger. I know you are not at celebrity status and it’s hard to avoid the situations, but you are apart of my beautiful faces family. With that being said, together we will come out on top.

Lizzo makes music to empower the underdog, the disliked and less ordinary. You are doing something special and that’s why you have haters spreading rumors and gossip about you. I need you to regroup and focus on you. Don’t let the comments, jokes, memes and other forms of ignorance get you down. Instead use it as fuel. Not that you have something to prove, but use it as motivation, baby. Turn that negative energy into something positive. Never grant a hater the satisfaction of watching you fall or fret…you have more power than you think.

Now, my loves, go out into the world with your head held high and confidence on ten. Please know that despite with others say, do or think of you…YOU ARE WONDERFULLY MADE. Not everyone will like you and that’s ok. Mark my word, most people that give you a hard time, really desire to be. All of the good you are doing, we see it and we need it…DON’T STOP, BELIEVE IN YOU, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU GOT THIS…..and remember to LIVE LIKE ITS YOUR LAST!
