As humans we despise being wrong. Instead of accepting consequences for our actions, most of us are quick to place blame on someone else.

“It was his idea”
“She persuaded me”
“I didn’t know”

Bishop T.D Jakes preached a message titled, “The Blame Game.” The message was on point and spoke to each and every one of us. None of us is exempt from blaming others at one point or another in our lives.

When do we accept responsibility for ourselves?

We blame our childhood, our parents, our spouses and even our children for not being where we “should” be in life.

It’ All About YOU

When we grow up and realize that we control our today and our tomorrow, our excuses will shift from others to the man (or girl) in the mirror. It’s tough to do a self-examination and come face to face with your very own issues. Although it may be tough, it is necessary for growth.

This year make it your business to look within and right the wrongs that have surfaced over the years. This will be a process and it will not happen overnight. If it’s holding you back, fix it.

Once this is done, begin to develop you. It’s all about you this year. Not to be arrogant or vain but if you don’t fix yourself, you will be no good to others, let alone yourself. Be selfish and start with you.

If you need counseling, swallow your pride and get some counseling. Do it for you.

It’s all about YOU!

Have you ever sat back and pondered over where you are in life?

Most of us would say we should be a lot further than the current state we are in right now.

Have you asked yourself, “What happened?”

You started off really well and nothing could stop you. Plans and preparations were put in place that would deter you from failing. You declared and promised God that you were moving full speed ahead.

Then life happened.

Something caused you to stop. You took your eyes off the promise and focused on what was in plain sight. The expectation you had was so high, it seemed unreachable. You aborted the promise.

This happens every single day.

As women we have huge dreams for ourselves and our family. When things don’t line up the way we expect them to, we get discouraged. When the vision is not fully functional in the allotted time we’ve put in place, we pull back. We take our eyes off the promise and look at what’s in front of us.

We focus on the lack of finances, the child being disobedient, workplace issues , sickness or the lack of support from our loved ones. Those things are definitely road blocks, but in no way, shape or form should they cause you to abandon the mission. You can’t get so bombarded with what’s wrong, you lose sight of what’s right. If God called you to it, he will see you through it. Despite the obstacles, he’s got your back.

We serve a God that cannot lie and will never fail us.

Below are three tips to Begin Again.

• Pick the promise back up and start working it
• Find an accountability partner
• Do not compare your progress with others

He who started the work will be faithful to complete it.

Just keep working it!

It is so easy to get in a rut within your marriage. You have kids, work, church, health issues, money, (and the lack of) other family member drama and the list goes on and on. You are dog tired when you get home. Most times you don’t even want to be bothered.

I have seen far too often how two people living under the same roof can go separate ways while still living together. They have grown apart because they’re never together. They don’t like each other anymore and can’t wait to be apart.

Don’t let this happen to you.

It’s great that you love one another but do you like him or her? I like my husband. If we were not married he’d be someone I could hang out with because when we’re together we have a lot of fun. We laugh and we do that often.

Take a break from your day to day routine and rediscover what you like about each other. What made you fall in love with him or her? What do the both of you enjoy doing together? Once you find that out, DO IT!!

You won’t like everything they like but the things you do enjoy make it a habit of doing it together (without the kids).

My husband always reminds me that our kids are going to be gone one day. When they do leave we must be able to enjoy one another.

Write down 3 things the both of you enjoy doing. Now implement those things monthly or weekly in your marriage. The love you have for your spouse will increase and you’ll look forward to the dedicated “fun” times with each other.
