DSYV...Don't Silence Your Voice

Don't ever allow someone or something make you silence your voice. What you have to say matters.

I say this because there are plenty of times we tell people what our goals are they might say something negative about it. However we must distinguish what is constructive criticism and what is hate. Since many people will disguise hate as constructive criticism. STAY AWAY from these type of people. 

I had a person to do this to me and will admit it fucked me up. I made me want to stop writing this blog and other projects I was working on. I became over critical of myself. Feeling overwhelmed, I reached out to one of my friends to vent and she gave me some of best advice ever. 

DON'T EVER LET A PERSON MAKE YOU SILENCE YOUR VOICE.

She was 1914% correct. (You see what I did there. A few will get it. 😁). And I started back writing. I started back my inspirational journey. I fought my self doubt and insecurities and set boundaries. And I won. I vowed never be SILENCED again. Speak my TRUTH to help others. 

So to YOU.... 

DON'T EVER LET SOMEONE OR SOMETHING MAKE YOU SILENCE YOUR VOICE

You never know who needs the words you want to say....

As before MANIFEST, take it one day at a time, and love you for being you. 

Can I talk to you?

Talk to you 'bout something new?

(I know we) tend to look the same to you

(Can I) talk to you 'bout something new?

How does one get on with you?

(Can I) talk to you 'bout something new?

(I know we) tend to look the same to you

(Can I) talk to you 'bout something new?

(How does one?) how does one get on with you?

As you know I love cologne. I just love the reactions I get when someone smells my scent trails. Love getting compliments it boosts my ego. My collection includes brands Gucci, YSL, Lacoste, Armaf, Dolce and Gabbana, Prada, Dior and etc. However that is one I need to get Dior Fahrenheit... It smells very good. A great classic scent that actually has a hint of gasoline in it. Yes ɢᴀsᴏʟɪɴᴇ ⛽....it a strange scent combination that actually smells very good.  This cologne supposed to remind people of the a race track.

Vroom Vroom...🏎️🏎️🏎️

Knowing that this cologne has a gasoline scent profile made me think, Tristan, what fuels you? That is very easy. My FAILURES are my gasoline. Let me explain..

Prior to this success, I tried various diets, workout plans, cooking methods, etc. to lose weight. It got to the point where I felt that I would forever be morbidly obese. DESPAIR started to set in. Being scared to sleep not knowing if I would wake up in the morning.... This was a dark sad place. A void of darkness filled with depression, insecurities, pain, confusion, fail relationships, just existing....

So when I started this program and saw some SUCCESS I finally had something to be motivated about. I started thinking about those past hurts and insecurities as fuel ⛽ during my journey. I didn't want to back to DESPAIR ..... Every pound I loss I also loss some the pain and insecurities I had within and had about myself.  My confidence began to slowly come back. Which made me push even harder.

I made a deal with myself for every twenty pounds I loss I could buy myself three bottles of cologne. This added more fuel to the fire to conquer my FAILURES with dieting. I tasted some success and I wanted more. I wanted to be HAPPY, CONFIDENT & BEING ABLE TO LOVE TRISTAN AGAIN 😀😀😀

Now I want you to use your failures to fuel your success. Use those failures to get focused on your goals. Keep PUSHING. Don't stop. Understand to take it #OneDayAtATime

Now there's nothing left

(You messed up a good, a good thing)

So there's no coming home

Girl, remember my face

(For sure, for sure, for sure)

While you're out there on your own

I can't tell where your heart is

(It's nowhere, it's nowhere to be found)

It's not there no more

See I don't need you

And I don't want to want you

If you step out the door

I won't wait up for you (Wait up)

Captain is still, catch a wave, roll us (splish)

Take a shot, make a friend, just enjoy the moment

I'm Luke Skywalkin' on these haters (splish)

Celebrate every day like a birthday

Good things come to those that wait up (splish)

But don't wait to jump in too long

Don't sleep, you gotta stay up (splish)

Don't, don't sleep, you gotta stay up

Polo shirts were my enemy....😂😂😂.  I wasn't confident wearing them due to my man boobs and belly.  The irony of this is that I actually love polos. I know. I knows. It sounds like a toxic relationship you would see playing out on Facebook.

Sidenote: Those toxic Facebook relationships are very entertaining at times. It is like watching a soap opera....Ok petty moment over...

Guess what, I recently purchased a few of them...👀👀👀  Yes, the belly got smaller and the man are down a couple of cups 😭😭😭. (My chest is coming in slowly but surely...sigh 😟). Also my confidence is at a all time high. I have been practicing my manifest exercises and clearing my mind of self downing thoughts... Now back the polos. For the 4th of July, I drove to my hometown to stay for a couple of days . The 4th was on a Sunday so you know what that means.... CHURCH. Your boy had on a Navy blue Polo by Polo and some Polo Slacks. Now for the best part.... the Polo shirt was tucked in....😉 #TuckedInStatus on deck my ninja....🥷🏾

The moral of my story....defeat your enemy. You can defeat your insecurities. Your doubts. Your low self esteem. Your set backs. Your overthinking. Your.... Keep pushing. Don't stop. MANIFEST your happiness. Make your enemy your polo and look good wearing it. Don't allow a setback to be your reason to stop. In chess sometimes you must go backwards to project further than before.

You got this....One day at a time. Make the impossible possible

MANIFEST

MANIFEST

MANIFEST

Manifest...

Lately you might have seen this word floating around on social media or over heard a conversation which it was mentioned. Let's into the word manifest....it's definition: 

1 : readily perceived by the senses and especially by the sense of sight 

2 : easily understood or recognized by the mind 

So it seems that if you think it, it will come to fruition. Guess what, it works. I encourage you to change your mindset to start thinking positive about yourself and watch how your goals will be accomplished.  

Starting today, right now....MANIFEST  your goals. Your dreams, your career, your relationships....MANIFEST them. Keep working towards your goals and keep your mind clear of negative thoughts about yourself. Just remember you got this... MANIFEST your SUCCESS.

#Food4Thought

Start your morning by saying what you are grateful for. No matter how big or small. Give yourself 5 minutes to say what you are grateful for and MANTIFEST your goals. If you have a vision board or list, review it. Anytime a negative thought come into your mind change your mindset to concentrate on things you grateful for. Your mindset will begin to change for the positive. You got this...

One day at a time time...
