Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of of the thirty-second president Franklin Roosevelt, was described as outspoken person, she was an admired leader who made lasting contributions to the welfare of humanity. Having fought for the rights of workers, children, women, the oppressed and poor. Eleanor is contributed with helping to establish the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Wow, what a great and notable contribution to mankind. Having led a purposeful life, Eleanor would not have accomplished such greatness if she too hadn’t first visualized how she really wanted to make a difference……The following points are hers;

1. Do what scares you: “Do one thing every day that scares you.”
2. Be mindful of your reaction: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
3. Do the thing you think you cannot do: “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.”

I have come to learn through the Practice Manifest Method (PMM) that spending more time rehearsing what it is I want to manifest rather than rehearsing what it is I do not want, works best for me. Yes, I said rehearse. It is something I do daily, in my mind (first). I follow up by speaking my personal positives into the atmosphere, aligned with my list of Yahweh’s promises. Thus limiting stagnant or negative manifestations. Again, I ask you, what is it that you really want? Once you have asked yourself this question and answered it truthfully, be prepared to put in the effort for what it is you want to see manifest. Side note: It is not often that we manifest greatness in the places we have become most comfortable. Therefore, one must move out of the comfort zones (i.e. fixed mindsets) and onto much scarier divides.

Today, I encourage you to make a list of personal positives (PP) as your focus points, then plan for those things on your list by first seeing (visualizing) or imagining (creating visually). Move forward in your practice by allowing yourself to experience the emotions (how will you enjoy them). Allow yourself to internalize what it will do for you – how it will impact your ability to serve others or better yet allow you to serve in your authentic – purposeful place…..what is it that you (really) want? Remember to share your PP list with an accountability partner. I do believe in the saying, “practice makes perfect”, so practice practice practice…….

As a tribute to women far and wide and as a celebration of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month….I will post women from different walks of life who have triumphed in their journey of gaining what it is they (really) wanted, as a testimony for me and to you. A testimony of tests and overcoming. Thank you as always for engaging my blog. I definitely appreciate your presence here. #janenotdoe
