Would “You” Capture It ???

 

Look, If You Had One Shot, One “Moral & Legal” Opportunity, To Sieze Everything You Ever Wanted, Would You Capture It … Or … Would You Just Let It Slip Away ???

 

Someone JUST asked me – “What do you do to prepare yourself Before you Speak Publically on Any Cyberstage or Physical Stage ???”

 

Here was my answer …

 

1) I give thanks to God for “Giving” me the “Extra” time to “Stay” on this Planet.

 

2) I “Remember” and Quietly give Thanks to and for EVERY person that has ever Crossed my Life’s path – (Good or Bad) – because I did “Not” get to where I am today all by myself.

 

3) … and … the last 5 minutes & 18 seconds “BEFORE” I speak on any Cyberstage is always spent listening to “This” specific song because it Reminds me that I Only have One shot to Reach that One person who’s sitting In the Audience in Need of the “Message” and that it’s Imperative that I Must do My utmost Best to “Deliver” it !!!

 

My Friends, Soak Up the “Lyrics” & Enjoy the “Listen”

 

… Remember, there’s “Greatness” In Each & Every one of You !!! – God Bless You ALL !!! – 🙏😊🌟

Please List TWO “Business or Life Lessons” – (Or One of Each) – That You Have Learned Along The Way That Has Significantly Contributed To Your Personal and / or Professional Development and Success ???

 

Business Lesson :

“Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress. Working hard for something we love is called passion” – Simon Sinek

Working at a non-for-profit for 5 years and feeling underappreciated, drained, and burnt out I learned that I wasn’t ever going to go back to working for someone that wouldn’t appreciate my skills and talents. I grew up in a very entrepreneurial family so I always had the tenacity to own and start my own business and be my own boss. So when life poses challenges I ask myself – what is this adversity trying to teach me ? How is it trying to make me a better version of myself ? And through some soul searching and amazing mentors along the way, I learned I had to do something that I felt passionate about. How could I give 40+ hours of my time to someone and feel miserable at it ? How is that fair. Now I am very proud to say, at this point of owning my practice for 10+ years now, I wake up each day excited to see my patients, and absolutely feel passionate about what I do. We all get 24 hours in a day, it’s up to us to use them to maximize our potential on this planet and live our highest purpose. Thanks to the help from my psychologist and mentors along the way that stepped in and continue to step in without who I wouldn’t have this resilient mindset, self-love and love for helping and impacting others that crosses my path. 

 

Life Lesson :

“Your time in this life is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life”

We were each placed on this earth with a unique purpose. A purpose that is much bigger than ourselves. After having suffered through sexual trauma in my pre-teen years, enduring 3rd-degree burn where I almost lost my life in my teens, not being able to become a surgeon – a dream I so dreamt as a little girl, going through a divorce which was one of the hardest things I have been through,  a failed entrepreneurial venture and bouts of depression, suicidal ideations, and PTSD on and off over 20 years of my life. I have learned through all my sufferings that, after every valley, there is a mountain and change is the only constant we have. That nothing will ever last forever, good or bad, so instead focus on healing and being the better version of yourself when in the valley, and when on the mountain be grateful for now and today and cherish it so you remember these times are coming again.  God/Universe answers in 3 ways – He says yes and gives you what we want, or says no and gives you something better, or He says wait and gives you the best (PeterJbone). So keep learning and growing, without the bad, we wouldn’t appreciate the good, have complete faith in the universe that it’s all happening for a reason that you might not understand right now, and continue to pay it all forward once you tune into your purpose. Sending you all love and light !!!

Speaking Of Love …

 

La Toya Sanders, otherwise known as La Toya, but to her closest loved ones she’s affectionately called “Toy”, is a legal professional by day and a creative entrepreneur by night. She is also an award winning host of a popular weekend podcast show called, “Speaking Of Love.” 

She created this podcast in honour of her late Great father, Mr. Herman McKalpain, Jr., who died by suicide. La Toya lives a fast-paced life and loves every minute of it !!! – “LOVE” is her most favourite word in the entire English dictionary !!! 

She LOVES making people happy and it’s her purpose for being, addiction, and goal in life to sprinkle a little LOVE every where she graces her presence. Her artistic work is an autobiographical display of the LOVE that she holds deeply inside of her heart. Her creative business started as a selfless “Love Mission” and has ironically grown into a gratefully flourishing profitable business. La Toya feels truly blessed that God has chosen her creative earthly talents to perform as an instrument of HIS abundant and everlasting LOVE !!!

 

Please List TWO “Business or Life Lessons” – (Or One of Each) – That You Have Learned Along The Way That Has Significantly Contributed To Your Personal and / or Professional Development and Success ???

 

The one MAIN lesson that I’ve learned along my personal & professional journey is to never work a job just for the money. Instead, choose a job you love so much that you’d be willing to do it for free. Yet be so good at it, you’ll end up getting paid anyways. I believe that money should not be the determining factor when choosing a job, or occupation. If you love your work, it automatically brings out the very best in you. No human being is completely internally satisfied, personally or professionally, in business unless he or she has an undying passion and love for their vocation, mission, or work. To me Money isn’t everything, “Love”’ is !!! – ❤️

 

Beautiful Creations, L.L.C. is a platform for spreading LOVE — the strongest magnetic force in the Universe!

With lots of love,

La Toya ♥️

Isn’t it amazing that “George Carlin” – comedian extraordinaire of the 1970’s and 1980’s – could write something “20” plus years ago so very eloquent … and … soooooooo very appropriate … and … sooooooooooooo very applicable … and … sooooooooooooooo timely … for “today” ??? – Makes you think huh ???

 

A Message by George Carlin – He’s More Than “Just” Giggles and Laughter :

 

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

 

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

 

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

 

We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things.

 

We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

 

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight … or … to just hit delete.

 

Remember, make sure that everyone in your boat is rowing in the exact same direction and not drilling holes into it when you’re not looking. Know your Circle of friends, family, and associates.

 

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

 

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

 

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent.

 

Remember, to say, “I love you” to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. An embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

 

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

 

Remember, give time to listen, hear, and remember without critically passing judgment. It’s nice when someone remembers the details about you, not because you keep reminding them but because they actually care.

 

Remember, it takes a small mind to crush big dreams. Refuse to take or accept criticism from people that you would never seek advice from.

 

… and …

 

Last but not least …

 

… Always Remember :

 

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

This attached picture Stopped me in my Tracks …

 

Do you realize that someone Leaves this World Behind every Minute of Each day ???

 

As the attached picture shows, we are ALL mindlessly “In” this “Line” without even knowing it.

 

In fact, we don’t even know just how many people are “Before” us.

 

We can’t Move to the Back of the Line.

 

We can’t Step Out of the Line.

 

… and …

 

No matter how Much we try, we can’t avoid “THIS” line.

 

So while we’re “In” line …

 

… Let’s ALL Dream BIG.

 

… Let’s Live Out Our Life’s Passions.

 

… Let’s Live Productively and with Urgency.

 

… Let’s Live Selflessly and with Undying Empathy.

 

… Let’s Live with a Positively Filled Attitude refusing to accept the deflated “I CAN’T” mentally.

 

… Let’s not Live a Lifetime on the Sidelines Criticizing and Condemning those that are Willing to Let Go Of Good so that they Can Grab On To Better.

 

… Let’s Live a Life where we’re Brave Enough to Fail.

 

… Let’s Learn from our Misfortunes, Failures, Mistakes, and Defeats so that they too will Never ever appear again.

 

… Let’s Live a Life filled with Calculated Risks and Combined Specific Actions.

 

… Let’s Live a Life that Embraces Change, Conquers Fear, and Ultimately Forgives.

 

… Let’s make it our Aim to “Live Fully and Die Empty” – Let’s dump the materialistic clutter and Let’s Chase Down Unforgettable Intangible Personal Experiences that take our Breathes away.

 

… Let’s Live a Life sharing our Stories of Struggles, Pain, and Triumphs to Inspire Our Global Brothers and Sisters to continue to Press Forward with Hope and Confidence.

 

… Let’s Live Life in such a Loving Manner, that All our personally Dark Overhead Drizzling Clouds disappear, so that those around us Can soak up our Endless Rays of Beaming Sunshine.

 

… Let’s Live a Life where We make sure to Never put Off what we Can do “Today” for an Unguaranteed Tomorrow.

 

… And Last But Not Least …

 

… Let’s ALL fulfill the “Circle Of Life” and purposely Water the Seeds of those Souls that lay around us so that they too can Sprout, Thrive, and Grow into the Greatest Version Of Themselves … AND … Bear Fruits of their Own.

 

We only “Get” one chance at life – This ‘ain’t no dress rehearsal folks !!!

Isn’t it Amazing how We can ALL look at the same picture, yet See different things ???

 

Although similar at times, People are generally just “Different”  …

 

Recognizing this fundamental truth is essential for creating positive, respectful, loving, and understanding relationships.

 

However, in reality, we don’t fully accept and acknowledge that people “do” differ from us.  Instead we are bent upon changing one another.  We resent, resist, and reject each other’s differences.  We demand that the people in our lives feel, think, and behave as we would.  And when they react differently we make them feel wrong and / or invalidate them; we try to fix them when they really need understanding and nurturing; we try to improve them when instead they need acceptance, appreciation, and trust.

 

We complain that if only “they” would change, we could love them; if only they would agree with us, we could love them, if only they would feel the way we do, we could love them; and if only they would do what we ask, we could love them.

 

What, then, is love ??? … Is love accepting and appreciating a person only when they fulfill our expectations ???  … Is love the act of changing a person into what we want rather than what they choose to be ???  … Is love caring for or trusting a person because they think … and … feel the way we do ???

 

Certainly this isn’t love.  It may feel like love to the Giver … But …. not to the Receiver.  Real love is unconditional.  It does not demand but affirms and values. Unconditional love is not possible without the recognition and acceptance of our differences.  As long as we mistakenly believe that our loved ones would be better off thinking, feeling, and behaving the way we do, true love will be forever obstructed.

 

People tend to take different paths and routes when it comes to seeking fulfillment and happiness … and … displaying and / or feeling loved.  Just because they aren’t on the same road as you, it doesn’t mean that they are lost.

 

Instead of focusing your efforts constantly trying to change others, look inward and see how you yourself can change and / or grow as a human being.  We all have our shortcomings.  Realize that whenever you point a finger towards another in the name of perceived fault, there will always be “3” fingers pointing right back at you Mr or Mrs “Perfect” 😉.

 

Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonour others, it is not self – seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.

 

Once we can accept that all people aren’t cut from the same cloth, we can then begin to seriously “explore” how we are all individually different … and … ultimately elevate our own Personal Social Skills of “Empathy”.

 

“Empathy” is the ability to see, feel, and interpret the world through the eyes, body, and soul of another. Unfortunately, in our selfish, egotistical, and self centred society … NOT … everyone displays enhanced Empathy … or … even a hint of Empathy at all.

 

… Do the people that you surround yourself with bring the word “Empathy” to life ???

 

… Do the people in your work place “Exemplify” and “Execute” the word Empathy ???

 

… and most importantly …

 

… Do You ???

Personal “Success”, not necessarily money, is the “Progressive” Realization towards Ones’ own  Dream – Agreed ??? …

 

Once upon a time, there was this young person who wanted a lot more out of life.  In fact, their biggest dream was to make a lot of money, and so they went to a guru to seek guidance and direction.  

They told the guru, “I wanna be on the same level that you’re on.”

And so, the guru said, “If you wanna be on the same level that I’m on, I’ll meet you tomorrow at the beach at 4 am.”

They thought, “The beach. I said I wanna make money, I don’t wanna swim.” But then they got there at 4 am anyways, all ready to rock and roll.

The old guru grabbed their hand. “How bad do you want to be successful?”

They replied, “Real Bad.”

So, the guru said, “Come with me”

So, they walked out into the water waist deep. This young person then said to themselves, “This man’s crazy. I told him that I wanna make money and he’s got me out here swimming. I didn’t ask to be a lifeguard. I just wanna make money.”

The guru then said, “Come out a little further.” So, they did. They were now shoulder height deep into the water.

This young person then internally thought once again, “This old guru is crazy. He’s making money, but he’s crazy.”

The guru then said, “Come out a little more further”. They came out a little further, and this time the water was right at the level of their mouths now.

The young person then said, “I’m going back to the shore, you’re out of your mind.”

But then the guru loudly roared – “I thought you wanted to be successful!”

They replied, “I do !! – I do !!!”

The guru then said again, “Walk out into the water just a little more further…”

So after proceeding a little further, the guru unexpectedly pushed their head into the water holding them under. The shocked submerged person was scratching, clawing, fighting to get up with ALL of their might, however, the guru kept them down under water a little while longer and just before they were about to pass out, the guru raised them up.

The Guru then said, “I have a question for you now. When you were under water, what was the only thing you wanted to do? More than anything?”

With shortness of breath, The young person replied, “I wanted to breathe.”

The guru then said, “When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.”

… Ps. Manipulators, they are nothing but anchors and road blocks in your life. Identify them and expel them from your lives immediately. But before you do, “play” with them for a little while and purposely diffuse every conniving manipulative action that they are trying to perform and pull over on you and on others. Stone wall them in ALL of their tracks as often as possible and let that be your form of entertainment – You know they deserve it.
