Tera Carissa Hodges: Why Do Mature People Mind Their Business?

 You know why mature people mind their business? 

Because they understand their life is the only one they can control.

When you get done interfering in somebody else’s life, has your investment portfolio increased? 

Is your marriage better? 

Has your credit score increased? 

Have you pleased God?

That’s why messy people are miserable. 

They’ve got nothing to show for all the time they’ve wasted. 

They’re still underemployed. An emergency would wiped them out financially. Their diet is still not where their doctor would want it to be. They still need to hit the gym. Their dentist hasn’t seen them all year. 

The list goes on!

This is why the blessed should not beef with the miserable, no matter what they try to do or say to provoke you. 

Because when they get done starting a fight, a rumor, gossip, their harvest of misery is already waiting on them to return. 

Thanks to focusing on you and not building their own life, they’ve got nowhere else to go...

Tera Carissa Hodges: Confidentiality Is Key

This post by Tera Hodges is worthy of repost:

Everything you own should not be in your name. 

You can ask your university (post undergrad universities) to shield your information (degrees obtained) unless they have written consent from YOU with identification. 

There’s a reason a #confidentialmarriagelicense is an option.

A skilled family attorney can guide you on how to shield your children’s sensitive information: birth, names, parent, etc.

The people you are the closest with should never be active on your social media. 

When you realize someone close to you is faltering, don’t cut them off immediately. Feed them what you want them to repeat. It’s not your fault they’re disloyal. Use their disloyalty for your good. The fault is on them because loyalty would of kept their mouth shut. 

Don’t advertise where you work. 

When people ask questions, normalize your most immediate response being: why do you want to know. Then, for every reason they give, ask another question pertaining to why. 

Your life is your business and you have options! 

Once again, the goal is not for PEOPLE to be right about you but for LIFE to go right for you. 

Let them wonder how and why you’re so successful. 

It’s a beautiful thing to see your enemy shooting arrows they mean for you but they don’t come anywhere near you. 

That’s why I don’t post too much personal business on social media because anything you say can & will be used against you. Some people on your page are there to be spies, so they can have something to bring back to so & so. I don’t even add colleagues as friends on my social media for that reason.

Jesus Didn’t Charge For Ministry

 If every word from “The Lord” you give has a $ amount attached, you are not a Prophet, you are a fundraiser. Stop lying! Humble yourself! Have integrity and tell the people The Truth!!! You really need help with your rent, child support, car note, etc. Jesus didn’t charge when people came for healing & teaching.

Discernment Is Nothing To Play With

If you pray for discernment, you better be ready for what comes with it. Read this post by Glory Brown Inspiration Coach

Everybody thinks having discernment is so cute and fun to have. But it doesn’t always feel that good when you hug people that you genuinely like and feel that they’re not even for you. Or when people congratulate you on your “higher levels” & say how proud of you they are but you literally feel that they don’t mean a word of it. You FEEL the envy. Discipline and wisdom then has to kick in and makes you say “Thank you” with a smile. 

Discernment isn’t always fun to have and you MUST know how to govern YOURSELF with the enlightenment. You can’t get mad. You can’t always call it out. You simply have to accept it for what it is and not be consumed by it. 

To the one being consumed by the enlightenment of discernment, I pray that God gives you peace as a companion to your gift! I feel you! I understand!

Monday Word

Even when you’re taught wrong, you’re taught right!
