Thought of the Week 3/22-3/28

"Tired is not a condition of the body, it is a condition of the soul." -- Iyanla Vanzant

It was my great honor to get to her Iyanla lecture at Philander Smith College for their "Bless the Mic" Lecture series last week. Just like when reading her books, I pulled many things out of her lecture. The reference in this quote was to being tired. She said that you are tired when you have no vision and you are spinning your wheels in life. When you are headed down a certain path and your days have purpose, you work until EXHAUSTION. Exhaustion is what we should be aiming for, because at that point we refuel ourselves and go out again. I am employing this concept in my life, as I was truly tired with some things in my life. Now its time to follow my dreams daily until exhaustion. So have a wonderful week! --O
