Have you ever woken up and felt like a ton of bricks weighing on your chest? Perhaps, you are in a season now where it just seems like all your effort are amounting to nothing and you feel completely overwhelmed and you sometimes wished you could just lay in bed and not get up, hoping your worries will go away with your catatonic self~
Well, NEVER GIVE UP was the phrase at the Selma Walk this past week. And thanks to my Southern Warrior Sister~ Maxine Donaldson Holt who wrote a piece on her personal experience walking across the bridge, we are able to feel the spirit of that day.
"NEVER GIVE UP!" What a simple phrase yet powerful in nature if we allow it to soak into our being.
Hello family, IT IS WARRIOR WEDNESDAYand this is your sister welcoming you to yet another
blog episode.
I spent few minutes just reading and re-reading the words of my Southern warrior sister, Maxine and I was inspired to pay it all forward with this piece. This picture is certainly more than any preacher could have said. If you are in a situation right now where many things are not adding up for you...
An old wives tale insists that
happy employees are productive employees. A modern twist to this old
metaphor suggests that an engaged employee is a profitable employee. In today’s
constant battle of the talent war and rising administrative costs employers cannot
afford to have anything less than engaged employees. This is difficult to
achieve for what satisfies one employee may not necessarily satisfy the next.
The trick then is to ensure that companies have strategies and programs that offer
variety of opportunities to stimulate engagement.
SIX TRAITS OF ENGAGED EMPLOYEES
COMPANY COSTS OF
DISENGAGED EMPLOYEES:
• 3.4% OF ANNUAL PAY
• OVER 32% LOWER OPERATING
INCOME VS. COMPANIES WITH ENGAGED AND HIGHLY ENGAGED EMPLOYEES
• 10-13% EMPLOYEE TURNOVER
SHOW ME THE ROI….
According
to Gallop, Inc., a leading research-based performance-management consulting
company, the remaining 70% of U.S. employees are “not engaged” or “actively
disengaged.” These people “are emotionally disconnected from their workplaces
and less likely to be productive,” reports Gallop. “Currently, 52% of workers
are not engaged, and worse, another 18% are actively disengaged in their work.
Gallup estimates that these actively disengaged employees cost the U.S. between
$450 billion to $550 billion each year in lost productivity.”

It’s Warrior Wednesday: What are the 7 Attributes of “Warriors “which Make them a “Slam Dunk” Success? source: adjunct professor
A “Warrior” Knows when to go to war and when to be still for the battle to be won! Do You?
I woke up this morning with the word “Warrior”
on my mind and try to imagine what the word really means. A warrior is
“a brave or experienced soldier or fighter.” When you go by this
definition, then you know naturally that there will be some wars/battles
which you will engage in.
But being a “warrior” does not entail being in a battle alone.
On the other hand, there are many times we desperately want to avoid
confrontations and battles all for the sake of peace and harmony. This
may be at our own peril! As there are just some battles we must fight and win if we must move to our next success level.
“We will not win a battle, neither will be succeed at anything if we
are passive aggressive in our relationships, or adopt a passive
aggressive pose when we choose to do things our own way and not pay
attention to all the hurdles life is placing in our path.”
A True Warrior understands that Passive Aggressiveness is a Poison,
which if allowed to fester in his or her life will cause great
frustration, self pity-party, and so much pain!

“Adapt the Heart of a True Warrior in Everything You Do and You Will Soar Like an Eagle.”
Being “Warrior spirited” reflects someone who maintains an honorable place amongst his or her peers.
When you are a true warrior, you exercise “insight” to things which
pertain to life. Without “insight”, anyone including those who may
choose to be called warriors will “miss their lifeboat.” And the truth
be told, we need the warrior spirit to survive many of the obstacles
that life often throws our way.
“Live Your Life Like a Warrior”
The following are the true attributes of a warrior:
(1). A True warrior listens!
(2). A True warrior respects him/herself and othersaround them
(3). A True Warrior is Submissive and Attentive
(4). A True Warrior is Humble
(5). A True Warrior Learns to Serve Otherswithout any Hidden Agenda
(6). A True Warrior Tells the Truth
(7). A True Warrior Discerns Seasonsand walk that path
It really doesn’t matter what type of warrior you are, be it
Spiritual Warrior, Wisdom Warrior; as a warrior , you must understand
things as they are and just rest in the process. As a warrior, you are
constantly on the fence, praying, watching on behalf of others or
yourself. You are ready for war, if it comes to your door step, but most
importantly, YOU ARE PREPARED!
Preparation takes time, effort, diligence, commitment, dedication, self-less attitude and most of all, patience.
Above all, a TRUE WARRIOR confronts issues head on
and understand the need to have a group of other warriors around him or
her, to maneuver through life. “No man is an island.” When you find
yourself in a place where you believe you must do things alone… when
others do not matter to you and you begin to adapt the spirit or
mentality of a “lone ranger,” know that you are on a path of
destruction.
What do you do when you discover you are no longer adapting the TRUE Warrior Spirit?
(1). Turn back and trace your steps back!
(2). Surrender
(3). Be Patient
(4). Be Still
(5). Reach out to others who have been there and can help you
(6). Listen! Listen! Listen!
Until Next Time,

"Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.” ― Zig Ziglar
If you hate your job, you are not alone! In 2013, Forbes released results of employee polls, which they did worldwide. According to the Gallup reports released that year, there are twice as many “actively disengaged” workers in the world as there are “engaged” workers who love their jobs. When they polled 25 million employees in 189 in different countries, 13 % of the workers feel engaged by their jobs! They defined “feeling engage” as having a sense of passion for their work, a deep connection to their employer, and as such spend their days driving innovation to move the company forward. 63% are “not engaged”, meaning they are unhappy but not drastically so. They regarded themselves as “checked out” and sleep walk through their days, and putting little energy into their work. In addition, 87% of workers worldwide who are emotionally disconnected from their workplaces are less likely to be productive (Forbes.com).
Are you part of the statistics who hate their job? Then check this out.

Welcome to Warrior Wednesday: There is
incredible power in our tongues. There are many ways we can sabotage
our own success but through it all, there are 3 “must avoid” ways we
must be aware of.
I have often been told especially by my parents to watch what I say, so
not to invite “trouble” into my life. And as many times as I have heard
them say it, I have defied them until….Listen Here

On this blog/ podcast, you will find out the 3 Ways you are sabotaging your own success.
And perhaps you will take heed to avoid them, so your success can
finally be unleashed. regardless of the type of success you are seeking,
whether you are a professional, or a business owner; we all desire to SUCCEED!
I have had the privilege of mentoring many. And throughout my
mentoring, there are certain habits which hold true to those who
discovered that they are self sabotaging.
Here are the 3 Ways:
(1) Using hurtful and self-defeating words against our own destiny/ life journey will only lead you to exactly what you said!
If you are constantly saying that you will never make it, well, do not
be surprised if you indeed “never make it in life!” While it is real
that we are struggling on a daily basis, it is important that we do not
add more “drama” to what we are already going through with the words of
our mouth. What happens when you speak evil on your own self?
You relinquish your power! And allow the negative forces around you to take over your life!
(2) Being prideful and haughty are fruits of self-sabotage.
When you are constantly thinking you are the only one with the answers;
when you look down on others, even in your own unstable condition; all
you are doing is destroying your own ability to prosper or succeed.
Why? You are spending more time digging into other
people’s’ business and not spending enough time understanding what may
be going on in your own circumstances.
(3) Not listening to advice will only lead you on a road to self-sabotage!
There is wisdom in a multitude of strong mentors advising you. And like
the common saying “No man is an island”. You have spent all these years
trying to do things your own way. Perhaps, it is now time to “fess up”,
remove the veil/mask and let others in to help you.
“You have a Choice with our Own Words: To Speak Life or Death! It is up to you what you choose. Choose wisely, so you can move forward in what you are created to be.” TWEET QUOTE ~ Dr. Princess Fumi S. Hancock, RN
We must be careful to say what we mean, when we mean it and be
careful to use words that will empower us and others around us.
Regardless of what we may be going through in life, it is essential that
we are mindful of our surroundings and learn to be the best we can, do
the best we can, and allow words to heal rather than cause pain on
ourselves and others around us.
Here is my question for you today~ What ways have you used hurtful words against yourself or others? Share your answers with me on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
Be Inspired, Be Motivated, Be Of Sentimental Value, and Most of all Be Authentic.
