Write the Vision
What’s your vision for your life? We have what we say. Repeat, we have what we say. Take it a step further: The Good Book tells us to “write the vision, make it plan so that he that reads it, may run with it.” Run….we have to do some type of activity (aka work) to help our vision come to life. Write your vision on your mirror, create an actual vision board, whatever. Just write it and run with it.
A popular Atlanta DJ used to close her show by saying, “Make your haters your motivators.” I love that phrase so I’m borrowing it. Believe in yourself. Do not let fear, what others think about you or laziness keep you from moving toward the vision. So what if it doesn’t work the first time, second time or on the 100th attempt. Keep trying, stay connected, pivot when needed, learn from mistakes and enjoy the journey.
Make this year a year of achievement. You got this.

Remember January 1st 2020? Similar to most January’s – people were off living their best life- hitting the gym to cement those New Years resolutions, checking out Dave Ramsey’s content around financial freedom, napping, cooking good luck meals such as black eyed peas and removing the final Holiday decorations from doors, windows and fireplaces.
You know my name
It’s been communicated that my biological mother named me, Monica Marie Garnett. I love being named Monica. It’s not terribly common, I adore how it sounds, and there’s only one way to spell it. Inserting a “k” rather than a “c” is just wrong. : )
Why aren’t you calling me dad?
My adoptive father didn’t talk much and when he did, it wasn’t conversational. The phrases were typically six words or less: “Let’s go,” “Why is the garage door up,” or “ok.” During family dinners no one spoke. The silence was stifling.

Monica – Thanks for sharing this post. I completely agree with your sentiments. I’ve never created a vision board board but I truly believe in the power of getting your dream and/or vision out into the universe to get it to fruition, which is the focus of “The Secret”. I also believe in the self-fulfilling prophecy, a concept that I learned about in high school. I have a friend who regularly says that he has the worst luck and every time I hear him utter those words, I correct him by saying that he should speak in positive language so that positivity comes his way even if its about something as simple as getting stuck in traffic.
You encouraged me to focus on my vision and dreams and not let fear of failure get in the way. Although most of my life I prided myself in throwing my hat over the wall and accomplishing feats like owning a home at 21, I’m a little stuck and uncertain about my future at this stage of my life. Life is much too short and I need to make each day count to the fullest.
It’s so funny you mentioned the self-fulfilling prophecy….I will never forget it. Years ago I was walking in the mall complaining about something and a friends sister looked at me and said, “think positive thoughts.” God knows its a challenge but I realize we really do become our thoughts.
Lakia, you are super talented and I’m so excited about this chapter of your life. Great things are headed your way – me and a bunch of other people are cheering for you.
