Past Life Lessons

The Power of Friendship

Over the past three years, I learned this the hard way, just because some is a presence in your life does not mean they are present in your life.

How I Learned to Never Stop Healing

I wasn’t angry because I was insecure, wasn’t bitter because life was going on without me and wasn’t broken because I lost people along the way. I was angry, bitter, and broken because I thought I had put in enough work to be able to heal quickly and move on. I thought the medicines of…

The Best I Got

92% of the time, I present to the world the best I have to offer (my best self). I will admit the other 8% of the time are losses. There are days when I do not feel like being my best self or fall short of my expectations. This post is not about the 8%…

Why I want to be like Lillian

Some of my fondest memories, when I was younger, was sitting on her back porch having great conversation. One thing I love about her (that’s not in the top five) is the fact she never talked at me or down to me. She spoke to me as if I was on her level. She made…

A new season of spring!

I absolutely love springtime (I know I have mentioned this before). The days are longer, warmer outside, flowers are blooming, and the days seem more vivid. Though I love all of these aspects of spring, I love the transformative power of spring. Before spring, there was winter, where it was cold, dark, and depressing, and…

I have something to say!

It feels so good to be back. I understand that I must update you on the going-ons of my life. So let’s begin: I do not care how spiritually mature you are; there will be a time when you will be lost and stuck. Times where you just won’t have any answers. This has been…

Friendship should be hard—not hard.

Recently, I tried to make a new friend. Not because there was anything wrong with the friends I already had; but because I wanted a new perspective. I think it is great to have a diverse group of friends. I met someone I thought I could add to this new group of friends. However, the…

Stop Apologizing!

Stop Apologizing! My name is Antonio, and I am an apologizer. I have learned, over conscious observations, that I apologize for things that do not need or deserve an apology. Usually, these apologies soften the blow of my “NO!” or uncertainty. This concerns my perfectionism; I want people to genuinely like me. Even when I…

What next?

This is a continuation of a blog post from a few weeks ago, “Diving into the Abyss.” Ok. You dived head-first into the abyss. What Next? This is the question I had after diving headfirst. The experience was better than I could have ever imagined. I got what I was seeking. However, during this process,  …

Diving into the abyss

We have all had those times. Where we imagine how things could be, so we decide to test the waters. We know that one wrong decision could end everything. However, we become so curious that we decide to leap head first into the abyss of uncertainty. Stepping into uncharted territory.   This has happened to…

Growing all over

Hello! I know it has been a while; however, anyone who reads this blog knows it was for a good reason. I was taking a “growreak” (growth break). I gathered my thoughts and did the spiritual grunt work necessary to ensure I am growing in my purpose and walking in my promise. Anyone who desires…

If people were honest, the world would be a better place.

This blog post is not about truth vs. lie. Instead, this post is about honesty vs. political correctness. It is about those sugarcoated truths that are borderline a lie. Those truths that we try to tell others in hopes that we spare their feelings. We do not understand that those sugarcoated truths are doing everyone…

I dreamed a dream that shall remain a dream!

I am not telling you, to let all of your dreams remain dreams. I am speaking of those dreams that we all know are not completely right. The ones where we see the writing on the wall, and we destroy the wall, because it does not say what we like. These are the dreams that…

The closure I needed.

Some people cannot handle being around people who are strong, blessed, and happy. They will self-sabotage because they cannot handle friends who are doing better than them. In this case, you should feel sorry for these people, and not judge them. Continue to pray for them, and move on.

Only you can make you happy

Three months ago, after I had my revelation, I promised myself a few things 1.I will live life unapologetically, being my true and authentic self. 2.I will accomplish all of my dreams ( alone if I have to) 3.I will not allow fear of being alone to stop me from doing anything 4.I will conquer…

Inconsistency is not a virtue!

I do not mean to attack anyone or point out the flaws of others. Lord knows it would take a few weeks to point out mine. However, I have become disgruntled with the inconsistency I have noticed from people. Let me be clear, this inconsistency has not come from associates or foes. Instead, it came…

The side-effects of change!

I am a true believe “all change is good change,”; it does not matter the situation. Change is inherently good because you are growing and evolving. You are making progress to get you closer to your destiny. You are learning those life lessons and earning wisdom. You are healing and stretching and strengthening those spiritual…

Real Love!

One of my all-time favorite songs is Real Love by Mary J. Blige. In it, she details her quest for love and describes the genuine love she has been searching for. I completely understand how she felt; as I search for real love. Through the process, I learned some valuable lessons; and gained wisdom on…

When being empty is enough!

I know I promised an example of a goal, and it is coming. However, this topic has been on my mind and heart for a few weeks. Here we go: Sometimes, when we feel empty, we automatically assume it is wicked. This happens because; we think of other things (i.e., sadness, loneliness, or heartbreak). We…
