I found this today and it’s perfect for “Inspirational Saturday”, we can take a good lesson from the king of the jungle because we make our lives what we want them to be. It’s up to you to decide the what and the how you want your life to look like and end the end strut your stuff and give off a big roar!
I live in Kenya and we have beautiful lions! You never really get used to seeing a real life lion, it’s always epic. He walks confidently looking around; like he owns the place then does this terrifying roar just in case you hadn’t noticed. I love it.
The King of the Jungle can teach us a few things about being King in our chosen fields.
1. A lion is not the biggest or fastest or strongest animal in the jungle but he is the king
He looks at a gazelle and decides – that’s lunch. He works skilfully to make up for what he doesn’t have. Some lions hunt in pairs approaching the prey from opposite sides. One lion will spook the gazelle who runs off in the opposite direction, straight into the arms (or rather mouth) of the lion waiting on the other side. Brilliant Strategy! Brains not brawn.
Yeah it’s been one of those months where its like I’m running around and nothing seems to be moving or getting done.
I’m trying to get my finances back in order after being off for so long, the car is having issues, trying to work on recipes and write (who knew writing recipes would be tough especially when you don’t normally use measurements to cook…go figure)……doing a major job search (I’m ready to find something else to do with my life, that doesn’t involve standing all day).
Our fifth anniversary is coming up not to mention his big birthday (don’t even know what I’m going to do for that…sigh!), plus on top of just this normal day to day stuff I’m trying to really get this blog off the ground and trying to keep up with “Blogging 201,” and in a couple of months get my blog transferred to a self-hosted site through another blogging class I’m involved in.

My Childhood Home
This was an interesting prompt for today and since it’s Sunday, I automatically thought about the very simple breakfast my mom would fix us every Sunday before we headed out the door to Sunday school. Continue reading “Rice and Sausage Patties”→
I was going through some old photos today that I wanted to scan and pack away when I ran across the picture of my best friend and buddy in the whole wide world. We meet back in 2000 in St. Louis, and even though we both moved to separate areas, him to the Georgia area and me back to my hometown.
So today’s post was a good way to reflect over my friend and our life as I looked at that long forgotten photograph and remembered the times we shared our poetry with each other, how we both had names for our collection of poetry that one day we would share with the world.
His book was called “Oral Elixir” which he did publish and mines will be called “Series of Climaxes” which I put aside when I moved back to KC but now after all these many years I want to bring those words back into the light. Continue reading “Consummation Of The Poetry”→
Today’s Saturday motivational is about the why. Why do you want to change, why do you want something different, why do you want to live? What is it that moves you? What drives you? This is about that deep desire that we each have inside of us it’s about pulling it out and doing something about it.
This week has been rough for me, I’ve just been feeling stuck. Stuck in my relationships, stuck in my finances, stuck in living the same way everyday and going nowhere, just spinning my wheels.
I had to look deep to find my desire again, to find my why. There are two major things I have always wanted in life, that was to write a book and to have a restaurant.
My why for starting this blog it’s cheaper than opening a restaurant and I still get to cook in the kitchen. I still get to have fun in the kitchen mixing different flavors together. I get to write whatever hits me. I will actually finish writing a story or my sister will kill me.
I’m in charge of my destiny, I’m fifty and I’ve found my why, I’ve found my desire.
So what’s your why, what’s your desire? Post in the comments and let me know
PS: I find all of my great motivational videos on YouTube by Mateusz M. He has some great works that really make you think and truly inspire you to want to be and do more.
