Have you ever thought of why it’s so easy to do things that we instantly know isn’t the best decision to make. I mean nobody has to tell you to give someone that disrespected you a piece of your mind.
Nobody has to tell you to go on that date with the person that’s off limits and take from the forbidden fruit. Nobody has to tell you to call into work when you just “don’t fell like going.” But, amazingly enough when we have something that is pulling at us to do something positive

In this game called life we’ll have an opportunity to run many plays. Some will be successful and assist us in winning a game, but others will require us to rerun the play. Regardless of how great of a player we are or may think we are, it’s impossible to win the game alone. You have to have a good team to assist you in running the plays.
Even with your qualities and the assistance of your team members you will still fumble, make mistakes and depending on what kind of attitude you have when you’re called out on your mishaps, you may even have a flag thrown out at you. As we all know you can’t run the same play at all times because your opponent will know your next move, run an interception and possibly score.
ARE YOU COACHABLE?
Because we have to have different plays we’re required to have a coach to orchestrate who will play what positions:
…who will relieve who…
as well as what plays we will actually play;
all in which we can find in the play book. Once we know our role, we are able to play our position and are familiar with the different plays we must remain teachable and willing to both listen and follow directions.
Consistency with these things will not only allow you to continue winning, but it will also prepare you for the championship.
IN ORDER TO REMAIN IN THE GAME, YOU MUST STAY ACTIVE
Transition; in order for us to win in this game called life we must surround ourselves around positive people that believe in us (the team). We have to continue to listen to the coach (God) for guidance, assignments and direction. Whenever we are faced with obstacles from our opponent (the enemy) we must refer to the play book (bible) for the plays (scripture) that we’ll use in order to intercept the fiery darts that are being thrown at us. We have to remember that in order to stay in the game we have to remain active.
STAY RELEVANT
We have to continue to stay relevant. Don’t worry about being knocked down because you’ll have on your protective gear (whole armor of God). When things get too rough and you feel like giving up or throwing in the towel hold on to the ball (your faith) it’s then that God will blow the whistle on the enemy and let him know that you’re on his team. Always remember; regardless of what the score looks like as long as you do as instructed you always win in the end!

Sometimes regardless of how hard you try and how much you do to help someone it seems that it’s not enough. You work hard to ensure that you have all of your financial obligations taken care of and you do so well enough that you’re able to assist others with their finances as well.
You have been able to maintain a somewhat normal home, work and spiritual life. But, somehow you still find yourself in a “predicament”.
You may even ask yourself “how did I end up like this again?”
After all; I’ve done all that I was supposed to do and I’ve even helped someone pay their bills, gave away some of my things to help others, fed a family and so many people depend on me and I’m able to be there for them all. The first thing that you have to do is put yourself FIRST! It’s true we’re blessed to bless others. It is better to give than to receive, but we weren’t designed to take God’s place, but to be of and in his image. God gives everyone the ability to do whatever we have to do to get where we need to be. We will need things and at times we will need other people in order to get where we need to be in life.
But, when you have people that depend on you for things to avoid responsibilities, you need to draw the line. The best thing you can give someone is knowledge of how they can do things for themselves. We perish for lack of knowledge, but you can help strengthen them by not allowing yourself to become weak. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t help someone in need. However; that doesn’t mean that you’re obligated to continue to
When you think of the word BIAS I’m sure you automatically think that someone is showing a prejudice to someone or something. Some of us know all too well about being treated unfairly whether it’s due to race, age or sexual orientation. As I thought of the many negative thoughts that surround this word, I also thought about the profound effect it had on so many people.
I thought to myself “what if.” What if I took a profound negative word and made it into a positive thing. After all, a positive and negative does neutralize things. Because of this four letter monster I internalized so many mixed emotions about myself that led to me suffering with low self-esteem and depression. I began to think that I wasn’t good enough for a promotion, healthy relationship or to be happy. I was too tall, too skinny, too dark and too much of whatever else ailment I convinced myself of.
I’ll never forget I was feeling down and my mom said “you’re not a child of mine thinking like that. Girl you forgot who you were.” She gave me the biggest hug and said “now don’t let yourself get like that again, because you are somebody and don’t you forget it!”
BECAUSE I AM SOMEBODY
This was many years ago that this happened. Then recently I felt like I wasn’t good enough to grace the stage with some of the comedic greats, well known artist or profound ministers that I’ve graced the stage with. As I tried to sleep all I could think of was “why me?” Then I began to think about my mom, out of nowhere I could hear her say “you are somebody and don’t you forget it.” I wrote those words down and had a peaceful nights rest.
When I began to do my morning post I wrote #BecauseIAmSomebody behind each message. I continued to write this behind all of my quotes. I was tweeting something and due to the limited characters I was able to use I simply abbreviated it (#BIAS.) Once I got the revelation of the acronym and what it meant to me “The BIAS Movement” was born.
I took the liberty to redefine the word BIAS. Although I may have been declined a promotion or job opportunity and overlooked or replaced in my personal life, I now know that it happened so that I could receive better. I deserve the best. I will be great and I will be who I’m designed to be. I will accomplish these things while helping others do the same all BECAUSE I AM SOMEBODY!
As children our parents are our protector, comforter, and provider and showed us our first expression of love. But, in time if those needs aren’t being met, we tend to venture out in search for someone that can fill that void. In this case you will usually attract dependent people thus, forcing you to be in the dominant role in the relationship.
You’ll be the one making decisions as well as provisions for the well being of your relationship. Doing this you allow your partner to become needy and enable them to always require the assistance of someone else to be successful. Or, we could find someone the complete opposite. Someone that is very controlling and abusive because they’re aware of your insecurities.
When we don’t fit perfectly in the box that others design for us we begin to feel inadequate, in turn we make some unhealthy life choice.
FULFILL YOUR DREAMS
Many times we accept things for what they are because we have allowed a dark cloud to shadow our vision of the things that we know we deserve. We have to realize that no one is put on earth to fulfill somebody else’s purpose for we all have a purpose of our own.
All this time you felt like it was you. You weren’t able to make things work or your best wasn’t good enough, when all the while you were living the life of two people because he or she was incapable of living on their own.
The hardest thing to change is someone’s mind. Until you have a renewed mind you will always be the old man!
Remember as long as you are doing EVERYTHING, then everyone around you can continue to do NOTHING! So, once you get your mind right, maybe others around you will change their mindset as well.
THIS HAS BEEN ANOTHER MOTIVATIONAL MOMENT WITH NIKITA B.
What do you do when the person you love, causes you the most pain? When this question is asked many of us will automatically think of a significant other but, there are so many other people that can fit into this category.
Who Else Could Fit The Category?
Our children, our relatives, our employers and yes sometimes even “church folk.” Many times as adults when we are broken we tend to find comfort in spending time with someone that is broken as well in efforts to “fix” them. In doing this we find ourselves going back to a dark place but, it’s one of familiarity and acceptance. This is the place where everyone is broken and going nowhere fast.
When I talked to my father about things that concerned me, he would always refer to the scripture “don’t worry about the troubles of tomorrow, for today has enough troubles of their own.”
Don’t Become Stuck in The Past
And it’s true. We get so stuck on our past or concentrate so much on our future that we can’t enjoy the current day that we are in. We struggle so hard trying to see what dimly lies ahead but, is so far away from us that we ignore what is lying so clearly in front of us. It comes a time in our life when we must accept the things that have happened to us (whether good or bad) and keep it moving. As you move, move through the hurt, disappointment, pain and disgust.
Once you allow all of these negative emotions to die you can be revived. Now you’re able to use those past hurts as learning experiences and you’ll recognize it if it were to attempt to come again. Refuse to live in your dark yesterday’s and if you’re not happy with where you are in life, you have the option to make a change. But, first you have to make up in your mind that “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!”
