DO YOU FEEL LIKE A FAILURE? 3 TIPS TO HELP YOU SUCCEED
Failure is a choice. It’s not by chance. Far too many leaders see failure as a way of life. Now, you would think that breaking free would be easy. All you have to do is clap three times and say, “I believe.” Right? Actually, if you want to move forward then you have to move out of the way. You have to be brave enough to leave the hamster wheel.

Be The Change That You Want To SEE
Hi my name is Evangeline Dahn and I have a passion for giving back to others and supporting others. As of right now I am a SGT in the Army National Guard, a Online CSR REP for Wellsfargo, learning how to play guitar, a mother of 4, I’m currently in CNA school and building my own business. I became a National Guard in order to serve my country and to help keep us safe. I am a soldier 24 hrs a day though and my soldiers trust and respect me. Therefore if I get a phone call at 1am , then I answer right away. You never know what someone is going through and a few minutes or hrs is more important than someone committing suicide. I make myself available everyday and frequently remind everyone that I am available, if you need help, need someone to talk to, or advice.

Pay it Forward
Goodbye 2020! Pfffffffft, so we thought. Where did the time go? Are we really here in 2021? So you are telling me that 365 days flew by, just like that? That means that 8,760 hours, per person mind you, vanished, just like that. Fact is, we are here. Fact is, the year 2020 swept right under our feet, as hatred, ignorance, fear, and vengeance distracted a lot of us from the greater good. Fact is, those series of events turned many bitter and angry. And fact is, they have separated humanity even further apart from each other.

Living for Ourselves by Giving of Ourselves... Love and Trust
If you can love, you should. If you feel you can trust, you should. Life is never about it being easy. Those who have it easy can never have enough because they're never truly fulfilled. I would wager anyone with obscene amounts of money rarely fully trust anyone. I'm sure there are exceptions. No group can be boxed up into nice, neat categories. Every thing on this planet has its outliers, its rebels.

Pandemic Life Advice from a Self-Help Book Addict. Top Story - January 2021.
"I'm a liar. And I don't care who knows it." That was the opening line of my first "self-help" book. I put "self-help" in quotes like that because I think people associate it with stupid, repetitive, and a waste of time - and I can attest that I used to be one of those people. Then, I read Shonda Rhimes.

Life is known if we choose to see
No matter how you look at it whether you are dealt a bad hand in life which is probably the best thing in life to throw at you because you can either choose to stay down or get back up and it is up to you what to do and I do not think we are meant to do nothing. Nothing comes easier than working at what you want however, nothing can be done if you just sit there and feel sorry for yourself. I used to think that nothing would come to me because I was a failure, and the thing is life showed me more than what my parents could let alone my past relationships or my friends. Life has showed me a lot throughout the years which up to now I realize I was not paying attention because of my pain of losing people more than I could count. What people forget to see is the good in what your life must bring but it just does not happen overnight and working at it has its benefits once you think about it where you are now will not be compared to where you are now. The unknown is always going to be scary do not we owe it ourselves to know what is in store. Doubts can be at our minds but how can we do something if we just doubt ourselves, we will never know till we try so, why not go try something and push yourselves no matter how long it takes life will always show us things we can see we just need to pay attention and we will see what it must show us. Whatever we go through will always test us and most people have a hard time of letting go for that reason we can’t find what we want because of what we can’t let go which makes life pass us by. We are so busy over the hurting we go through we don’t stop to look at what we should be doing after it’s all said and done so, thinking about something else is something we don’t do and get distracted by what life gives us as a lesson. Negatively seeing it is a given we all go through that but what does that negative effect on facing it teach us or it is forgotten as a lesson when a person doesn’t want to face it for whichever reason and in all facts there’s never an easy way to face things that hurt us in life. The growing pains of our lives aren’t constant and if you see life as a negative lesson there’s also a reason why it’s a negative lesson that you may not see at first but if you look closely enough, you’ll see what life has to show you after the grief you’ve gone through if you choose to see it. The good and bad of life can be twisting enough to drive you crazy moreover once we think about the events we go through as human beings lead us to a path which is either good or bad that can be taken back depending on the situation you’re in. When the dust settles it’s really up to you if you want to change the place you’re at now to the place where you need to be in life you are your own downfall to making yourself fail at what you want because if you don’t change your mindset you’re only going to set yourself up to fail and working for your future is more better than doing nothing when life has got you on the ropes but what should be a given is not giving up because what life throws your way.

Inner Flame
Guided, no gliding; space and time beside me. Wondering why I can’t place my face in to the trash. Things I've been through a multitude, but just not as brash. Spring steps from within to compliment the motion of promotion. Weight on my conscious lead based now removed. How come I can’t infiltrate the muse you consistently use to infuse indoctrination? It’s among the things that caused the majority of the infiltration to impatience. Distance I can make it like a bull brazen through the infernal blazing. Stir the commotion to differentiate the bases. Lessening the reflection of many races to reveal the surface if what's truly amazing but never constructed to confines of a matrix. Sizzling the buds can you taste it? Much more included ignoring the vacant, yet stead pacing. Connections displaced in the visual facing. Out of a cast of the molders making the concept of the avid basic. Shedding the sheer thoughts of being complacent I'm now adjacent to adjustment. The suffix is sufficient for the suffering but we shall not circumvent the way to remake it. Wrestling through the brush to arrive on the side that meets the eye revealing our greatest side. Besides the evident attraction does apples really appease the size of the challenge to mend lives? I'll arrive in an instant to decide, but in the meant time why rush the evident let's enjoy this ride. Forth coming to the conclusion amid the demonstrations leading to the truths of such a provocation. Some shall deny but my mind accepts the invitation. Elation in the safest yet swiftest style to meet the boasting bodacious irreconcilable side. Separating the heart felt weakness that resides below the surface that wants to rise. Taking chances amid the vile in the wild as trial to reach the end of a mile. Stones unhinged yet bends the soft tip ends of modernized trends set a fire. Below the pillars to disconnect the broken wires. Embellish the desired that required all of the internal fire to project the imagination to a conscious higher. Lowering thy guards to see what's truly happening is that of the actions entitled. Am I sparking the interest are resisting the tension. Should I mention the notion of lost imprints? Wide eyed to what's affirmative holding close enough to breach the census. Without consent to deter the attention overly accessed settling to inching. Nonetheless be vigilant and relentless for what's to overcome has been consistently mentioned. No wind so intricate can breeze through and blow out the majorities’ ascension. Flickering particles a part of me that startled you. The roots so deep it’s a part of more than two. Admitting to its truth lead outward and reduce the misuse of what's true to whom seeks the best majority in the room. Looming under the ferment shining through to greet the star. Shows just how much more were truly involved. Never allow the space to starve out the charge. Static in statistics takes us way above the circumvented at large. Remember the tug boat is what leads the barge. Cinders and coals that spark the fuel that pushes out the arch seems like the same steam allowing us to feel so parched. Mending the cross hairs to be a swift air that connects the rich flare to spark the flame amidst air. Aromatic accents attached on a search I hatched out matched to forever outlast a bang from a big blast. Mustering the voice to object for I rekindled what was once doused. Tearing through the atmospheric boundaries bright enough to be foreseen. Illuminating my biggest dreams my inner flame has now been redeemed.

I’m A Grump.

Here’s a few tips that I’m following to help turn that frown upside down.

Knowledge is Power
Im abruptly awaken by the familiar sounding of my alarm, pushing me to ready myself for a new day. I start thinking “here we are, another day... another...” I refrain from the easily chosen negative patterns of thoughts. Redirecting, I think “Another day, another opportunity to be the good in this world.”
