EDGE OF GLORY

DON’T DO FAKE LOVE OR STILL FRIENDS.

In Life, it’s essential to understand the values of friendships and relationships. It shouldn’t be one-sided or unjust. It should be equal give & take. I have decided to end every friendship & relationship in my life because these individuals have become my greatest enemies and are ”still people”. They are still struggling, complaining, and using others for monetary gains and/or to make themselves feel a sense of validation. I have learned a valuable lesson throughout it all. When you want something different, you have to choose something different even if it hurts you or others. One of the biggest mistakes I’ve made is becoming friends with people I wanted to change & believing that they had changed. Always look at a person’s parents and you will see the individual they will become. I’m grateful for all the memories and moments I shared with these individuals because they truly taught me growth & acceptance. Everyone that has been in my life can say one thing about me, I DON’T NEED ANYONE TO ACHIEVE MY SUCCESS. I AM DESTINED FOR GREATNESS.

In conclusion, you’ll never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you. You’ll always be criticized by someone doing less. Remember that. I will never seek revenge because I know all the individuals that have wronged me, are currently living their karma or in divine time will.

Pure Lifestyle

The idea of self-care isn’t always front and center to everyone. Perhaps it lives somewhere in the back of our minds between faint but still accessible memories of your favorite summer and lyrics to that song you listened to on repeat a few years ago but have since replaced with another.

Preparing the Oxtail

Prepping oxtail is a great way to make a delicious meal for your family. To properly prepare oxtail, you’ll need 3 teaspoons of Oxtail Seasoning and 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Begin by heating the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and adding the oxtail, cooking it until browned on all sides. Then add the seasoning, peppers and beans and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow it to cook for 10 minutes, then uncover it and let the sauce thicken before serving with rice or other sides. Alternatively, you can pressure cook the oxtail for about 2 hours to save time on cooking.

Marinating the Oxtail

Marinating the oxtail is an important step in ensuring that your dish is packed full of flavour and tenderness. To marinate the oxtail, you will need Oxtail Seasoning, which can be found in most supermarkets or online. Start by seasoning the oxtail generously with the Oxtail Seasoning and let it rest in a shallow dish or container for 6-8 hours if possible to infuse all the flavours into the meat. After marinating, you can brown or sear the meat before adding it to a pressure cooker with beef broth, ketchup, butter and other spices such as thyme and pimento (allspice). Cook for approximately 2 hours until tender to complete your delicious Jamaican-style oxtail stew!

Then add in the peppers and long grain rice to the pot with a lid covering it. Once everything is in the pot, season it with oxtail seasoning and butter for added flavor.

35 Prosperity Affirmations for Living an Abundant Life

What Are Prosperity Affirmations?

Prosperity affirmations are small sayings we can repeat every morning to help us develop prosperity consciousness, which is a requirement for becoming successful and prosperous. Prosperity is each person’s birthright, but negative programming often interferes with having abundance. At some level of consciousness, we either fear or hate prosperity and money.

However, to create prosperity and abundance, we must think about prosperity and abundance. When our focus is solely on what we don’t have, we focus on lack or want. With these negatively-focused thoughts, this is what our lives attract. To combat this, repeating prosperity affirmations is an effective method of filling our heads with abundance thoughts. Studies show the most successful executives utilize self-affirmation techniques to improve their performance and power.

TIME TO LET GO

In life, we try and try to make ourselves adjustable to what others want of us. It’s time to just let go. Let go of what makes you feel confused, let go of what makes you cry tears of sorrow, let go of everything that makes you question yourself. I am in the process of letting go of the past ( friends, family or past relationships). I’ve learnt that you can invest in an individual and your blessing will come from someone else. It’s time to let go. Never settle for less. I’m sorry if the ending was bad but for my peace, I just had to let you go.
