Self-Motivation is defined as,”finding a reason and strength to complete a task, even when challenging, without giving up or needing another to encourage them.”
Not only should an individual require motivation from others, but from themselves. Self-motivation increases confidence and knowledge. Self-motivation should keep you going from day-to-day. It is the only form of motivation that will last a lifetime. It’s is the only form I accept in my life because it is the purest.
The fact that we are now in the year 2017 and an individual cannot be themselves without being in fear of negative connotations from another person is beyond disgusting. We as people need to get rid of not only stereotypes, but judging people overall.
It would only make sense start this blog entry “correctly”, because we have never met before and you’ve decided that THIS entry is your first impression of me. Hello Reader! My name is Dai’Jona and I’m the girl who is slowly taking more and more time away from her blog. “I’m being super irresponsible/ unreliable.” Continue reading “I’m feeling myself”
You are created, and then recreated.
A woman, who was made by a rib.
She was founded by the support of the man.
The moment she took her first breath, she was special.
God favored her, shaped her in his image.
She bore children, and raised her family.
She taught her daughter to be fierce.
She was the true backbone of her family.
She redefined strength when her hips cracked, she tore and she birthed a child.
She names her son after the father, but she is his first bond.
She remained hungry many nights, but her children knew a good childhood.
She worked while the city was at rest.
She never complained and always thanked God.
She had a daughter, and then another.
She taught them how to love.
Her ancestors picked cotton and shared land.
Her grandfather moved his family North for better life in 1973.
He started his “new life” with two children, a wife and $20.
She was raised in the North and 26 years later, gave birth to me.
I carry her strength.
Everything she touches becomes gold.
Dear beloved,
I open my heart, just to love you.
I open my mind, just to see through you.
I open my eyes, just to see you. Continue reading “Sweet Love”
Everyday is an oppportunity to learn something new! What’s even better than that is having the opportunity to share your growth with someone else. Seven is the number of completion. I was also born May 7th and it took God seven days to create Earth. Here are seven things I learned at the age of twenty.
I haven’t been on here in a week, but I’ve been working on making things happen for myself and my future. I cannot wait to share them with you!
I’m constantly beating the odds.
Using God’s support as a whip and success as my mule.
I’m whipping my mule, guiding it exactly where I want it to go.
IM IN-CHARGE OF MY DESTINY.
As soon as I began to think of telling this story, My door opened slightly on its own. It wasn’t completely latched, but my room became hot and at 12.53am, this story will remain a draft…
It’s a very unsettling feeling to know evil is near, but faith overcomes this every time. God will always win.
Story Times are where I will shared from my past. This segment will include nothing but the 100% truth. This story is about the time I believe that I talked to Satan.
To the ladies who became business women, scientist and inventors,
Thank you for teaching me this is a woman’s world.
To the African Americans who were beaten, whipped and even killed,
Thank you for fighting for my future & inspiring me to make my life worth it.
To the protestors who stopped traffic and simply held their signs,
Thank you for teaching me violence isn’t the only solution to injustice.
