Life it self is a miracle to me. Man did not give me breath. I wake up everyday giving God thanks. People are starting to forget God created everything around us even things he has blessed man with a vision to create.  Why are we missing the everyday miracles? or Do we not know what a miracle is?

Miracle: an unusual or wonderful event that is believed to be caused by the power of God. Now think to yourself of all the miracles that have been given to you today & yesterday. I woke up this morning in my right mind, seeing everything around me, able to get up on my own.  You may think that's a blessing but I think it is a miracle also. We all know someone that is not here to do just those simple things.  Man can't give you those things. 

From the sunrise to sunset & the moon, the flowers, birds, bee's and everything in between are God given miracles. The more I live I get to experience them. Just like living through the seasons.  Just don't forget to see the everyday miracles in your life. What you think might not seem to be a miracle but really look they are everywhere. 

In today's world we get so distracted to what we see and what others want.  Have we lost ourselves? The more I grow on my spiritual journey I am finding the true/authentic self. God has made me unique I am like no other. We want to be some much like others, who we see on TV, social media. Why? Who you are is so perfect. God made you the way you are. Embrace it! Think about it. No one has your smile, no one has that unique face, no one has the love that you give. No one is like you. YOU are an ORIGINAL.

Everyday I have to remind myself every time I look in the mirror. Then I remember something I read by T. D. Jakes and others. I say Nikki go by what you hear from within. You don't need anything you lost to bless you. Every step is a blessing, don't delay your praise(GOD I Thank You). It only works if you work it(The Word/Faith). Always go to something bigger than yourself(Get out your comfort zone). Emerge yourself beyond yourself(Trust others/read others) You will never be able to redefine yourself if you don't go beyond self. You should see what you've been missing.

So I ask you what are you saying to yourself in the mirror? LOVE who you are. Remember their is no other. Don't be fooled by what others think or want from you. Embrace the Real you even if you have to stand on your own. If God is all you have then you have all you need...John 14:8

Appearances are deceptive. We are all influenced by what we see. This is so true in our everyday lives, the people that we meet. When I look in the mirror I see one thing about myself and others see something different. In the world that we live in a lot of people are not living in reality. 

This at times makes me question who I really am. I want my reality to be who I am naturally and not what people think. I appear most times to have myself together but on the flip side I am drowning inside. My fears are taking over. I want to be who I am but the world will see me as weird because I dare to be different but I'm really being me. 

Life is turning me into an great actress. My performance is becoming so natural, now the real Nikki is getting lost. I don't want to transform into the image the world wants me to be. With people I meet I have to go into acting mode. They don't want to see a genuine person. They want what they see on TV Instagram, Facebook & Twitter. A lot that's not reality. How has this world become so diluted into Fakeness?  It seems nobody knows their authentic self anymore.

This makes me focus on the words & actions of people. If your words don't match your actions you are not being genuine to me. The actor is showing up. People take off your mask. Don't be afraid to show who you really are. Some will love it, others will hate but freedom to be yourself is so worth it.

One of the most severely limiting beliefs that many of us have is the the person we were yesterday is the person we have to be today. This belief keeps us tied to our past mistakes, habits, and limitations. We somehow buy into the notion that history truly does repeat itself, that if we weren't successful yesterday, we certainly can't be successful today or tomorrow........Richard Carlson, Ph.D.

Living life is a process, if you are not growing you are not moving forward. I am still learning how to let go of the past to live in my here and now moments. Living on this life journey is very hard but thank God for the free will to survive. 

Examining my life I am seeing that I am here for a purpose. Don't let the battles keep you from flying. Find the strength within yourself and live your true purpose. Hold on don't give up step out on faith. Keep winning. You are set up to be Great!!!
