That Moment . . .

 
That moment when you're stuck, confused, don't know what to do, have done everything you thought you were supposed to do and you still feel that uneasy, things aren't happening fast enough feeling. Know what I'm talking about?! Feeling this way as you read this post? Well, you're not alone. We (and by "we" I mean any person that strives to be their best) will at some point experience growing pains. Really can't progress without that indescribable "grey" area that I mentioned above. Out of curiosity, what do you do when you feel this way? For me, I take a MAJOR step back from everything and STOP. I stop talking, thinking, writing, emailing, tweeting, instagramming and just lie still. My thoughts literally consume me so I just let the heavy feeling take over. That usually lasts for a few hours (sometimes, a day, sometimes a weekend). Then, after I have my "moment", I usually get some sort of vision, message or clue as to what steps to take next. I'm serious. I know this may sound weird, but when I stop, I have more time to listen. Listen to that inner voice (that I call God's message) to seep into my mind. Sometimes talking to others only confuses me more. When I get to a moment where "man" can't help, I have to take my thoughts higher. In a way, I feel God strategically places these bumps in my life so that I have to STOP and LISTEN! Perhaps you have a different method that helps you, I can almost say with confidence that you do, but either way, we're still connected because as long as we have life, we will have obstacles therefore we need each other to cope, survive, persevere, overcome and succeed. With that said, know that when you experience "that moment", you are far from alone and I am here cheering you on. Because without the support of each other, we are surely in a for a long ride. "That moment" is helping to groom us to be our best selves and to lead our best lives.

Leading a Peaceful Path

 
Sometimes passion and prayer are your only keys to survival. You have a dream and by dream, I mean things you want in your life, not just goals, but essential elements that you deem important. After college, you feel a sense of confidence. And why shouldn't you?! After all, you did study hard for four years, took out student loans, endured homesickness and overcame many other obstacles to achieve your goals. And then BOOM . . . reality hits and you're on a path to success, but how you're going to get there and what you need to do seems a bit fuzzier than you would've ever anticipated. There is no school curriculum, teacher guidance, semester schedule or pre-made timeline of how to get to your destination. So, what now?! Well, acknowledging that success is no straight path is first and foremost and then surrounding yourself with the right people always seems to help. Oh, and don't forget faith. As you travel along this road called life, I wish you nothing but peace because with peace, you will have a sound mind, spirit and heart to chase your most desired goals. And with peace and faith, all things are possible!

UPTOWN Professional: "The FAB Corner"
 

Social Slang vs. Professional Communication
 
The line between social media and professional communication has been blurred and many folks are falling victim. As a Professional Coach, I feel it is my duty to call out this MAJOR CONCERN! I realize it is the age of social media and texting, however many people are muddling online slang with professional communication and completely disregarding the rules of business etiquette. So exactly what is the issue? Well, for starters, individuals (students AND professionals are both guilty of this mistake) are using slang such as: "c u tmrw", "c'mon", "y not", "thx", "ur welcome", "u", "k", as well as smiley face symbols and nicknames for professionals they do not know! But, just because it is growing in popularity, this type of dialogue is inappropriate for professional communication.
Before you send your next professional message, be sure to internalize these very important communication rules for success! Read the complete article here!
