Move

The Best Time to Move is Now…

These are my actual sneakers on the steps of where I live. I am not a runner by nature or enjoy exercise at all but I’m clearly on the move. If you follow me on social media or look at the calendar/itinerary on this website, you will see all of the places that I have been or intend to go. Slowly, surely, stopping frequently and take naps when I need to but I’m still moving. What have you planned, prayed about, prepared yourself for mentally and physically and not done? You’ve thought it out, written out the plans and have the money to pay for it but still haven’t done it.

Know this, eventually, to reach your goal, achieve anything or succeed at doing anything, you have to move, start and like NIKE, just do it. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to live a life of regret or wishing that I should have at least tried it. I would rather try, fail and learn from the failure than let my fear get the best of me. I’m cautious and some say scary by nature but when it comes to purpose, my gifts and abilities, I go for it. Scared, nervous and excited all at the same time but in the end, I have no regrets. I may not have the money for it in my hands, right now but I now have a goal to save, work and prepare my finances for. It may be delayed but not denied. The best time to MOVE, is now. Let’s go!

BLOOM!

I don’t know how the first quarter of 2019 but for us here at BK Royston Publishing, it was off and running. It has been non-stop and I’m super glad about it. Spring is here and things are all in BLOOM. The winter is hopefully over and Spring and Summer are on their way to help us recharge, relax and push through until the next season starts. My question to you is what in your life did you plant over the winter holidays and when the new year began? Have you started? Did you make a plan? Have you asked someone? You can expect to reap a harvest, grow a plant or business unless you sow the seeds, do the work, take care of what is growing and then celebrate in the fall for all of your hard work and labor. Now is the time to sow the seeds of success. Don’t sit back and complain about what someone else worked to accomplish, make some things happen in your own life. Celebrate you! Celebrate others! Celebrate together! Bloom where you are planted. Plant something to Bloom. If I can help, reach out to me and let’s talk about what you plan to plant by visiting http://bit.ly/talkwithroyston. Let’s go!

Discovery is for ME!

Discovery is for Me! On this day, most people are off work because in the U. S. is it Columbus Day.  Columbus is known in the history books as one who discovered America.  Of course, it was just a discovery for him but not the Native Americans, because they were already here.  I digress.  Change is hard for most people and we like our comfort zone, routines and easily assimilated surroundings.  But are you ever willing to discover something new?  It may not be new to others but just new to you?  A new street, restaurant, tradition, store, city or country can open up a whole new world for you.  I was one of those people that didn’t try new foods, I liked what I liked and didn’t know whether I needed to or wanted to like new foods.  Until I met Brian Royston who is a foodie by definition and will try almost any food to determine whether he really likes it or not.  He doesn’t base his opinion on someone else’s but his own.  He is a true explorer by nature when it comes to food.  So, on this Columbus Day, this is your challenge.  Be willing to become a discoverer, explorer and maverick of new things.  Open a journal and write down 2-3 things under each sentence below.  What are 2-3 things that you do like? What are 2-3 things that you know that you don’t like? What are 2-3 things that you have been afraid to try before but with a friend or family member along with you, you would try? What are 2-3 things that you will try before the year ends?  Once you have a list, plan to complete 1 or 2 of those things on the don’t like or was afraid to try before list.  Don’t stop trying!  Don’t stop discovering new things!  Don’t stop being your best and greatest self!  Discoverer Julia P.
