The goal you don't start won't ever be finished. So stop procrastinating and do right by you and your dreams and aspirations. Until Then Keep Stepping, #SiscoVanilla #SiscoVanillaIsStepping #SiscoVanillaHitsTheBricks

The old adage of "Rome Wasn't Built in a Day" is truly cliché but absolutely true. If you're trying to rebuild yourself, keep in mind that whatever it is that you want to rebuild wasn't made in a day, a week, a month or even a year. You have to stay patient and trust your journey. Walk the path and realize that the path isn't smooth or flawless. There will be bumps in the road, there will be detours and there will be challenges. Just stay the course and You Do You.

Hey, guess what...today is Monday and today is the day that you need to do right by yourself. How can you do that? Follow these two simple words: START NOW!!!! That's right. If there was anything you wanted to get going, now is the point in time that you can do it. Not tomorrow, not next week, not next month, not January 1, not when the planets align...NOW!!! Just START NOW!!! Enough said. Have a great day. Until Then Keep Stepping: #SiscoVanilla #SiscoVanillaIsStepping #SiscoVanillaHitsTheBricks

Many of us as kids say when "When I grow up I want to be a ..." Now for those kids who did grow up and become what they said they wanted to be as a kid, good for you. But let's be honest, how many of us said that and find ourselves to be on a different path entirely. And it's easy to sit back and say "Damn, I should have kept pushing to become this or that." Its easy to doubt ourselves when we don't become what we pledged to be but what I've found out in life is that there is no preplanned path. We have to make our own. To do so, we must be prepared to shed our preconcieved ideas. We can't start a new path if we keep holding on to the old one. Times have changed. So must we. Have a great day folks.

Sometimes we just need to shed what holds us down and let go those who hold us back. It can be painful to do so at first, but holding on to these negative anchors to our progress only prolongs the pain and misery. In the end, we need to do what's right be us, even it if means doing it alone or with a small circle of trusted friends and family. Have a great day everyone. See you on the path.

Sometimes messages come from the past that make you realize that their words are still relevant today. Take this Facebook post from 2011 as an example of that. We are the greatest resource. We are the catalysts for getting things done in our lives, not others or outsiders. You need to make more money? Get a second or even a third job. You don't have any savings? Get the extra job and cut back on what you already spend. Don't know how to do something? Teach yourself how to do it by reading and experimentation. And so on and so forth. As I've said in the last few posts: You Do You. Have a great day. Until Then Keep Stepping, #SiscoVanilla #SiscoVanillaIsStepping #SiscoVanillaHitsTheBricks.

Its Hump Day Folks 🐪🐫🐪🐫 And it's really easy to lose motivation knowing that the weekend is only two days away over the hump. Just stay the course. Focus on what you want to accomplish and do it. You do you!!! What do you all do to keep your motivation and focus in check. Drop me a line in the comment box and let me know.

I often times find myself in this boat, not so much as it relates for my dreams and happiness, but just for expectations in general. A former friend would always say to me that "You expect too much from people." He's right. I try hold people to a certain standard. And I get let down a lot. I find that to be especially so when you are in need. Nothing puts into perspective who you can depend on when you're at the bottom. Let me tell you first hand, that number dwindles SIGNIFICANTLY. Now, bear in mind that you might not be the only one to be doing badly. We're all living life the best we can. I get that. But a kind word, a phone call or a text checking in on someone can go a long way. It can go a long way to help someone's day AND to establish to them who they can truly count on. Ok folks, before I go off on a further negative tangent, I'll finish off saying what I want to say. And this is easier said than done. Don't expect anything from anyone....

Thanks to Momma-San for this beautiful framed message. Sometimes we get so caught up in the big picture that we forget to see the small things that led to the big ones. It really is true that the journey, regardless of how many steps we take, starts with that first integral step.

Another Monday is upon us and the lamenters, whiners and Monday haters are chirping loudly. People, stop bitching about Mondays. It's a good enough day to get your shit together. We all take a tumble, it's up to us to whether we want to get up and keep taking our lumps and persevere. Monday is good for that. Get up, wash yourselves, get a fresh perspective and conquer not only today but the week. Make a difference. Have an amazing day folks. See you soon.

That self doubt can be crippling. If you want to do something. Just go for it. If it doesn't work, then so be it. At least you can say you tried it instead of saying I was afraid to try it. Life's too short for that drama. What kind of things do you gals and guys do to push through the sounds of self doubt. Let me know by dropping a message in the comment box.

In this every changing, fast paced world we need to be creators. We need to find ways to better ourselves in terms of our profession, our family lives and our physical, mental and spiritual health. There's no one road that we have to travel to find what we are looking for. The proverbial yellow brick road doesn't exist. We need to lay our own bricks and create it for ourselves.

Yes, we are here. Now make the best of the time that we have been given and excel. Kick ass folks and get ready for tomorrow. Hopefully we're chosen to see the next day. Have a great day. Until Then Keep Stepping, #SiscoVanilla #SiscoVanillaIsStepping #SiscoVanillaHitsTheBricks

Wow. August 2018 is here. Five more months and people will be gearing up for the " Its a New Year, Its a New Me " schtick. Since I'm not content with that particular way of thinking, nor am I content for waiting around for things to happen, here is my Wednesday Wisdom post for today. Enough said. Hasta Luego.

That's right folks. Monday is just another weekday on the calendar. Don't expend your energy negatively 😪😫😖😡🤬 whining and complaining about Monday's arrival. Use that same energy in a POSITIVE 😍🤩😆🤪 fashion to get your shit done. It really is that simple. It all rides on how you look at it and act upon it.
