Supervisory skills

I like my current job, i enjoy being a supervisor, not in the sense of "yeah, now you answer to me tricks and the fate of your career is in my hands" , but more in the sense of me seeing that all of my previous ground work is paying off and being recognized, that this is prepping me for my next career move, it's teaching me more about myself and others.</p>
<p>I had a situation yesterday where there were three people conversing and person #1 said i want to leave early and person #2 said me too, can we leave early and person #3 stated that they had to talk with their respective bosses, well person #2 stated in a very terse tone "she ain't my boss i keep telling you that, she is not my boss, she don't sign my paychecks", this was said in reference to me being that i am her direct supervisor.  Person #1 is a listener, person #2 is a reactor and person #3 is a mess  starter, an instigator.  to clarify, i was not eavesdropping, i was actually standing outside my office going through papers and these three were in the office next to mine, with the door open.  I spoke with both persons #2 & 3 and expressed my disappointment in both and explained why it could have been a problem for #2, #2 apologized and #3 said he didn't understand why it was a problem.  This conversation, although in jest, could be classified as insubordination and could have gotten #2 terminated.

This is what i learned about myself; my patience has lengthened even though my tolerance for bull has lessened.  What i have learned about others; some people don't have anything better to do with their lives other than start bull, either they are miserable and/or bored, and they get their kicks off seeing others squirm.  Some people have not learned the art of analytical restraint and while they had no intention of harming themselves or others, they do and finally some people know to sit back and listen, discern what's really going on and just keep quiet.

Be careful what you say people because the power of life and death is in the tongue and one word can make the difference between you being employed or not.

Peace and blessings wonderful people!

living in your purpose

so many of us are not living in our life's purpose for whatever reason; fear of failure, lack of finances, feeling as if we don't have enough time or lack of support. whatever that reason is you are not doing yourself, your family, your future any good if you are not moving in that purpose. you are stifling your blessings, you are hindering your future generations, shaming your ancestors and insulting your Creator. failure is a lesson, learn from it and be/do/make better the next go around, finances are not a stumbling block because sometimes all you need to do is write the idea down and then speak it, you will earn a little at a time to put towards the big picture. time does not recycle once it is gone it is gone and if you are spending time talking about what you can not do you are wasting time that should have been put towards actually doing it. if all you have is you and the Creator saying that you can, that's all you need, the others will come aboard as needed. move forward in your purpose people! (i'm talking to myself too)

Technology

Woohoo bought a new tablet that i can blog from! Hopefully that will make me more inclined being that i bought it because i hate lugging the laptop and the cell is too small to blog from.  Also making it easier to type notes for the book and my spoken word moments.  Loving technology right now!

Peace and blessing all!

fighting depression

the spirit of depression is tremendously overpowering but you have been provided with the will, courage and resources to fight it. don't let it drag you down and keep you down, fight with whatever energy you have left in you. reach out to someone even if you think you may be bothering them, they may not be able to help you directly but may be able to point you in the right direction. while you are going through this fight for you life minimize or even eliminate exposure to those people and things that may trigger the depressive feelings in you and surround yourself with those that can truly uplift and encourage you. fight, don't give up! peace and blessings GoOD people!

running

been running for so long
fast and hard
lungs feel like they're are collapsing
body feels like it'll fall apart
suddenly
... i realize it's not my race
so i hand over the baton
and slow down my pace

the power of life and death

They say the power of life and death is in the tongue

But if you know this and believe this why would you say

Those words that would ultimately kill my love for you

You say that you are sorry and you love me and you want it to work

But just like an abusive man or an addicted man you are in denial man

Wake up and realize that everything you do and say

Has an impact on more than you think

They say the power of life and death is in the tongue

Well I speak life over you and I would hope that you

Would speak life over me…but instead

What you say cuts like the sharpest knife

Bruises like the hardest punch

Degrades like the master to his slave

If you believe it then speak it and know that

It has power

When you speak positive then your actions are positive

Therefore your are positive and then you speak positive

And your actions are positive and then you are positive

You see it is a circle just like with most things in life

So the same would be true of speaking negative

The Word says that the power of life and death is in the tongue

So stop trying to kill me, you, us, we…

addiction

If I drank, i'd be an alcoholic. If I smoked, i'd look like a chimney. if I were weaker in spirit and enjoyed sex a little too much i'd be a whore. If I indulged in any illicit drugs i'd od on heroin, coke or crack. But since my weakness is the Most High I will overdose on Jesus!
