Step Away From The Noise;

by Susan L. Kee

My Morning Cup of Coffee – It all started when I stumbled upon an inspirational post on Instagram. While reading it, I decided to Google a thought that crossed my mind. Researching on Google led me to search for a book by the author referenced in the article on Amazon. As I was browsing, I remembered something I needed to buy. Suddenly, I wondered how I ended up in this rabbit hole, just like Debra Cox sings in her song, How Did We Get Here?

We live in a world where it’s hard to escape the noise. With everything being digital, we can find anything we want in seconds. This post is for anyone who’s trying to step away from the noise. There’s an old song called “Release Your Mind” by Envogue, and the lyrics couldn’t be more accurate. It’s up to us to control our thoughts and where our fingers wander. So, let’s take a moment to disconnect from the world and gather our thoughts before it’s too late. Funkadelic said it first another way, but I digress.

I May Be Slow, But I’m Sure!

by Susan L. Kee

My Morning Cup of Coffee – Years ago, I had an undergarment that said, “I may be slow, but I’m sure.” In that, it was all it said, and it was an undergarment; what I was slow at and sure about was whatever I imagined. Even as I start my morning cup of coffee with this topic, you are wondering for yourself. Using this analogy was to get your attention; I am talking about consistency this morning. Do not belittle the idea of a slow start and small successions. In our minds, fast is sure. But like the tortoise life, experiences have taught me that while being slow to start may cause you to lose out on things, there is one thing that always happens no matter what, you get there. Being sure means being confident. Do not berate yourself for slow or small beginnings. If you are consistent in whatever you do, you can say, “I MAY BE SLOW, BUT I’M SURE.”

Pull Them Out

My Morning Cup of Coffee – PULL OUT while you still have a chance. Its profit is better than the profit of silver, and its gain than fine gold. #coffeeforthought

PULL OUT

Have you ever dug your heels so deep that even when you are ready to pull them out, they are too far in? Then, suddenly you forget the cause. You simply want out, but you are unwilling to give in to save face. Whose face, your face? Call it pride, stupidity or ignorance, or plain selfishness. I am not sure which one applies since, regrettably so, I have found myself in this position before. Nobody loves a healthy debate more than I do. In fact, my family invented the word debate. Wisdom is not always being right, but wisdom is the “ability to judge correctly and to follow the best course of action, based on knowledge and understanding.” (“Wisdom – Sophia | Precept Austin”) Sometimes it is difficult to give in when you have put so much of yourself into the fight, I mean debate. Learn to concede sometime. PULL OUT while you still have a chance. Its profit is better than the profit of silver, and its gain than fine gold. Can you recall a time when you refused to let go, and it had a negative effect on the outcome?

This Is War!

by Susan L. Kee

My Morning Cup of Coffee – There’s a war going on, and your mind is the leading soldier. Sun Tzu, Author of The Art of War, said: “The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy.” I believe this reminds us that all things are possible and that defeat does not have to be an option. However, it also suggests that you must wait for an opportunity to defeat anything negative that tries to attack your life.

Waiting requires patience. If you can allow yourself to change your mind, you can change your attitude about your future and defeat the opposing forces that try to come against your life. Begin to take a positive look at the possibilities of the future and speak well of every situation regardless of what it looks like. Then position yourself to conquer it. THIS IS WAR, BABY, AND YOUR MIND IS IN IT. PLAN TO WIN!!! What would you like to change?
