We all want to live a peaceful and full life. Never regretting anything. We all make mistakes because no one is perfect. I want to give you some tips on how to have a peaceful life
How to have a peaceful life
Holding yourself back because of past mistakes
You are not your past. Mistakes are for us to learn from and grow. Have you met anyone who hasn’t made a mistake…..I’ll wait….while you look for this nonexistent person let me remind you that nothing is ever a mistake if you learn from it. If you didn’t learn and repeat the same mistake twice well then…………..that’s on you. My first mistake when it came to this blog…not having the best photos when I started. I also didn’t hire people to help me. In order to start something lucrative you can’t do it by yourself, you need a team. People you can trust…people you can count on. I learned that the hard way but I recovered and now I am on the path to winning. Make your mistake your lesson and learn.
Stop being perfect
Okay so your photo didn’t come out right, or your logo is off by a centimeter. You won’t die…trust me. Go with the flow and use what you have.
So many people waste time on being perfect that they forget that no one is perfect but GOD Click To TweetThe time you take to check everything for perfection could be time wasted. While you wait on your perfect moment someone else is coming along learning as they go and will surpass you. Time is of the essence….stop trying to be perfect. People will either like it or won’t and remember no matter how perfect something is…..someone will still hate it.
Being around people that drain you
I don’t like being around anyone that isn’t trying to get to the top. People who drain me have got to go. If our phone conversations are not about how we can make this money and grow….don’t call me. Email or text me with the bullcrap I am about this money making life and getting out there in a big way. Anyone who drains me will never be a part of my life. Also, if you can’t respect my time don’t call me. If I say I am busy working on my business and you laugh and tell me, girl, you ain’t doing nothing you can talk to me about my men troubles…..this means you don’t respect my time and you don’t respect my business…Don’t look cray cray when I ignore your calls or tell you I am busy at the moment. I will do it in a heartbeat…try me.
Comparing your life to everyone else
Sally Sue can go to Starbucks in the middle of the day and work on her blog while sipping coffee while you have to work your dead-end job and hate on Sally Sue. Don’t hate on Sally Sue put that energy into making your dreams come true. You don’t know who is helping Sally Sue. You don’t know what type of connections Sally Sue has, you don’t know if Sally Sue is praying morning, noon, and night for what she has. My motto is the same God that helps you will help me. I don’t worry about what others have and yes sometimes I may look up to see what Sally Sue is doing but that’s only so that I can find a way to make my shat better and do it Kita’s way.
Procrastination
It’s a pet peeve of mine. I don’t do it and I hate waiting on others to do things. If I ask you to do something and you say yes you will have it to me within two weeks and after a month you email it to me…I will get highly upset. People make time for what they want to make time for. Don’t wait for anyone or anything. If you see a company you want to work with email them. I don’t care if it’s on a Saturday morning. That’s the beauty of emails they will see it when they see it. I even email companies at night. If I think about a company that would fit this blog I email them as I am thinking about them because I don’t like to wait.
I wrote a post a few years back about staying in your lane. Make sure you go and read it.
What are some tips and tricks that you can give to help people have a peaceful and fulfilling life?

August 17, 2018 at 10:53 amI don’t have time for drama and all the craziness that comes with so having a peaceful life for me means to keep it drama free as much as possible. I try to start every morning off with exercise and some alone time with God to meditate and pray. It always helps me have a more peaceful day.

August 17, 2018 at 11:56 amWell I have never been perfect and haven’t meant anyone yet who is so that is off the plate. Procrastinating I only do with certain things but something I can improve on that is for sure. I am at the age where comparing is over. Doesn’t get you anywhere and only is upsetting and frustrating to ourselves.

August 17, 2018 at 1:22 pmI can definitely say that I know I am not perfect. Procrastination seems to be my middle name sometimes. I need to be better at that. I also need to learn to forgive the past considering I cannot change it. You have some great points here. I need to take them to heart.

August 17, 2018 at 1:41 pmOh those people who drain me are slowly leaving my life and I feel so much better because of it. I am getting at the age where I don’t need all the confusion and stress. I love living my peaceful life now and wish I had learned it earlier. I also thank God for helping me with my peace.

August 17, 2018 at 1:44 pmI agree with all except procrastinating. To me, there’s a difference between waiting until the last minute and what you described, though. I’m more productive under a tight deadline so I wait until close to the last minute, but I always make the deadline. 🙂

August 17, 2018 at 2:40 pmYup, I love this. I’ve never tried to be perfect because perfection is boring. It’s much more interesting to have flaws. I’ve also had to cut out people who drained my energy.

August 17, 2018 at 7:02 pmI think comparison is such an easy one to fall into, but it really does us no good. It’s so much better to choose gratitude for what we have, and try to make that better!

August 17, 2018 at 10:04 pmWonderful advice! My life drastically improved when I reevaluated all of the people in it. All of that negative energy was really bringing me down.

August 18, 2018 at 1:42 pmI am the biggest procrastinator but I have gotten better. I think its because I am overwhelmed in all parts of my life. Still a work in progress…

August 19, 2018 at 2:47 pmI love this, it’s a reminder that we can always love ourselves more and the rest will follow. If we remove toxic people from our lives, it’s going to be more sound and peaceful. We’re also going to have room for better people!

August 23, 2018 at 2:07 amWe can’t keep holding on to our past, it’s important that we grow from it and move on as well. I love all these suggestions that you have. Comparing yourself with others is never healthy, it’s just going to make you feel less motivated!
