MEASURE OF SUCCESS

How do you measure your success? 
Have you chosen your own personal gauge or are you measuring your success according to others? 

So many people make the mistake of believing that success has only to do with financial gain. But, only if that is your purpose in life is that even relevant.

Consider asking yourself, "What is important to me?" Once you have answered to your satisfaction, then set the goal in which you wish to achieve. If your goal is to be a good mother and partner, then financial gain may have little to do with your personal success. 

If your goal is to go into business for yourself, then financial gain will be a part of your success. 

Consider personalizing what you want to achieve and it will easier to be successful according to you!

Daddy hits Mommy, I don't know why? By Shereema Ibrahim 11/18/2015

Daddy hits mommy, I don't know why
All I know is, it makes us cry
Daddy hits mommy, I don't know why
We try very hard to be good
But no matter, it's never as it should
Daddy hits mommy, I don't know why
We run and hide and shake with fear
Afraid daddy may be coming near
Daddy hits mommy, I don't know why
Quiet we are to not be heard
Screams from mommy, but not a word
We peak for mommy to look and see
Why daddy hits mommy, what could it be?
Daddy hits mommy, I don't know why
Frustrated and sad, we begin to sigh
Daddy hits mommy, I don't know why
Sometimes he's yelling words I don't know
Other times it's his fist he will show
Holes in walls, door all locked, bruises all over
Mommy would use makeup to try to cover
Daddy hits mommy, I don't know why 
Maybe he's mixed up or maybe he's mad
All I know is that we're all very sad.

PTSD

I smile, I laugh, all is good
Birds do fly, birds do sing
Everything is as it should
I'm fine, doing my thing
Triggers pressed, emotions change
Smile is gone, hard to breathe
No longer happy, feel strange
Feeling ashamed, time to grieve
No one understands, the pain
No one understands me
Questioning if I am sane
Why won't they let me be?
Don't they know I need a hug?
Don't they know I need love?
Bring me out from hole I've dug
Please embrace this wounded dove! 

Were You Good Yesterday?

It's a sad affair when one goes about their daily dealings without a thought. 
Listen, feel, and see all that you have presented. Did you listen to the one of whom spoke to you? Did you feel the thoughts someone portrayed? Did you see them for who they are or did you only see someone's mouth moving and heard nothing but static, so you felt nothing at all?
Know that all you project will come back to you eventually. Sometimes it is an immediate return and other times it will sneak up on you like a thief in the night. It will seize you when you are least suspecting of its return, but there it will be. So I ask you, were you good yesterday? Is your return going to be worth your investment or will it be more like a bomb that blows up in your face? 
You have the power to engage in activity of respect, "I see you". You have the power to listen intently to those that dare share with you an idea of their choosing and to digest it to feel the texture of its substance. This is caring and showing respect for your fellow humankind. This will have you reap all the beauty you have sown.
So were you good yesterday? I know I was!

HOW DO YOU ROLL?

Which way do you roll?

Do you use guides to lead the way, 

or do you allow yourself to go astray?

Which way do you roll?

 Do you always take control

or maybe you struggle with delay.

Which way do you roll?

Do you have any say

on what's your goal? 

How do you roll?
