The Blueprint: A MUST READ!

This is a must read!! I don't care where you are in life.  This brotha has something to say from a Christian perspective but not an enclosed, judgemental, Christian perspective.  He talks about his struggles through life and how he overcame them and he talks about his life learned lessons.  Believe me when I say his perspective is soooo true!  I've been through some of the things he's gone through an learned a similar lesson, but never really remembered the lesson.  He reminded me of some things and gave me a deeper outlook.  I was reading the book and I was like YES! YOU AINT NEVA LIED! THAT IS SOOO TRUE!! OMG! YES! YES! YES! I'm not even done reading the book yet but it is truely awesome! SERIOUSLY! A must read!

Taking the first initiative

So I finally took the initiative to make the call.  I was kind of scared to call the lady who was helping me because I just fell off of the face of the earth with out even calling her and letting her know anything that was going on.  I started a network marketing business called Ardyss International because I have never seen so many people making money in one room.  Usually, when I go to a network marketing meeting all of the people at the top are making the money, very few people are making money, or only the well groomed and spoken one's were making the money.  In this meeting I saw people who couldn't even talk proper English making money...I'm just saying!lol... I'm not money driven but I'm driven by what money can do for you.  I know ultimately what I want to be in life which is to live my life at it's greatest potential and that includes living a life of servitude.  I feel if I can help people make money and change their circumstances and personally mentor people to be better people as I have been mentored at the same time then I will feel accomplished.  I have been allowing life and my lack of that "feeling" of passion get in my way of pushing through.  But a wise woman once told me that you have to act your way into feeling sometimes, because that initial excitement will wear off!  We dnt always feel like getting out of the bed to brush our teeth or take a shower but when ya breathing gets to stinking and your body starts stinchin then its time to get-a- rinsin!(i made that part up!ya like??lol) made immediate money in the business so I know the money is there it's just up to me to keep working.  Now I have no choice.  I'm just going to do everything my up-line advises me to do because she is IS DEFINITELY ENJOYING THE FRUIT OF HER LABOR and I want to as well, so I will just duplicate the process and not try to reinvent the wheel!  There is this new plan with AWESOME AWESOME perks! A process that is soo SIMPLE IT ALMOST SEEMS TO SIMPLE and I think it is soooo INGENIOUS!!! I have to share it... Click here to get more info! OR Email Me!

Here we go again!lol

Okay! Well once again you only saw one post about the start of something.  I kno, I kno I haven't reposted in a while, but here's the catch...I haven't had my computer...Also so much has changed in my life.  UPDATE: I sent the Insanity DVD back because it was ENTIRELY too advanced for my level of athleticism!  I mean the people in the video were even falling out!! What makes me think I can do it...right??lol...but no, it said if we can't get through the warm up then we need to look for another program...I tried it...and I could barely do the 1st video! I tried and tried and bump it MAYBE the disclaimer was right!  So at this point I'm just trying to find a lifestyle change so it'll b easier to be disciplined...I'm looking for a program that better fits where I am...but until then I'm going to SET A GOAL; MAKE A PLAN TO REACH THE GOAL; AND FORGET THE GOAL AND WORK THE PLAN.  I know in that plan it includes cardio in the morning!Well we will see!

Attention to other things in my life...I was supposed to be moving to Pittsburgh...I was really excited about the change...sooo....I quit my job, rid my expensive apartment, and ended my BAD relationship.  After I did all of this I wasn't so excited about moving anymore and I received an OVERLOAD of signs to stay here in Atlanta.  I was stress free, but also homeless(technically speaking) and jobless.  But I am at peace.  I WAS at peace with myself because I was rid of all responsibility.  BUT who isn't comfortable not having responsibilities...?BUT at the same time who is comfortable NOT knowing where their next check is coming from or where they are laying their head tomorrow...? I have family and I have options of places to stay, and right now I am staying with a close friend of my family but they can up and decide they dnt want me there at any given moment...being that I'm not really paying rent.  I have worked hard all of my life and I haven't had to depend on anyone since I became an adult.  This is NOT a cause and effect circumstance though.  It is a circumstance of choice.  I choose not to have a job because I do not want2 work hard to be Just Over Broke anymore...I felt like my job was aiding me in being mediocre...I didn't have the discipline or the desire to work just to pay bills and then try to find time to devote to my new business, or my dreams, or anything I truly wanted to do...I have many options but I have decided I want to continue to be free of a mundane lifestyle and I will use this time to contribute to my community, contribute to my OWN wealth through my business(www.ardysslife.com/reshapewithladonna), my health and well being, and make everyday count.  God is truly good! Money has been coming from all over the place, because I have still been giving frm what money I have left and it has been coming back triple quadruple fold!!:)

I was thinking about my life and goals...and I was looking at a YouTube video from Will Smith today and what stood out to me was when he said lay one brick at a time.  You don't set out and say I want to build this great big wall, you set out to lay each brick as perfectly as possible each day, and before you know it you have this great big wall.  That is what I am focusing on today!  Laying each brick in my life as perfectly as possible!  Before I know it all of these temporary circumstances will be in the past and a foundation to a great future. 

p.s.  My friends wonder why in the world would I put my business out there like this on the internet??!  Like I said I want you to see my struggles and journey with self and life...My story could help someone else out tremendously, people act like they dnt go thru things and like they are perfect...never let anyone know what you're going through...this is true to a certain extent because u leave urself vulnerable to criticism...but guess what I'm one who cares not what anyone has to say! I'm me trying to be a better me!!! BELIEVE THAT! I'm inviting u2my journey... My faith is becoming stronger and stronger each day as I am tested daily...I am embracing every moment up or down because soon...I dnt kno when, but soon I will be skilled in my craft of embracing every aspect of life!

I'm back!!!

Hello my fearless bloggers!

Okay People! Now you see what I am talking about when I talk about struggling with consistency.  I was going to delete my previous post and start all over, but that would defeat the purpose.  I want to show you that I am human and people that struggle with inconsistency can relate.  I did P90x for appx. 2weeks! I became de-motivated and I did not have the proper weights to feel like I would get maximum results as in the videos so, I guess subconsciously I gave up, and eventually it showed in my actions.  I also barely followed the meal plans.   Well I ordered the new DVD called "Insanity" by Shawn T.  It is straight hard core working out without using weights just current body strength.  CAN YOU IMAGINE?? I'M SURE IT WILL DEFINITELY SHOW WHAT YOU ARE REALLY MADE OF! I'm excited right now, but we all know that excitement wears off and then it will show how dedicated you really are; that's when discipline kicks in! LETS SEE HOW DISCIPLINED I CAN BE!I will be receiving my insanity dvd tomorrow hopefully and I will let you know how it goes.  If I do not get it tomorrow I got you! I will try my best to post you some useful information.

p.s.  I even didn't completely promote my blog because I know I can be very inconsistent and I didn't want people to follow me and then I slack off...so Now I'm linking it to my FB page so that I have no excuse.
