MENTAL HEALTH MONDAY with Raymond Tyler

 CLAIM YOUR BLESSINGS!


Disclaimer: What I am saying in this article is true. However, if you disbelieve the power of God and positive energy? This may take longer for the message to get through but read on anyway.

CLAIM YOUR BLESSINGS

I don't know who needs this message right now?
If it's not you then please share with someone that does.

God has blessings for YOU!
Just for YOU!
God has Blessings that he has crafted just to make you happy...TODAY!

The only catch is that you've got to claim them.

I did not post those pictures to brag about meeting people or accomplishments. I work hard and that's no lie.

I have however, been blessed and I know that.

When I picked up an issue of The Source Magazine and they were on the set of the now classic film NEW JACK CITY. 
I told myself and God, that I want to be a part of this movement in journalism.

Now!
I had to do a little more than just tell God I want it.
I had no idea how I would get there but I started moving.
I started writing.

One day I was in my office at The American Red Cross and my phone rang. It was my brother telling me Kenny Miles from The Source Magazine had gotten my package of clips (clips that were sub par "BUT GOD"!) Kenny wanted me to contact him and start pitching ideas.

Right now as you are reading this. God has angels with arms full of blessings for YOU! 

1. You have to claim them. You have to know that you are as great a poet, author, artist, actor, film maker as any that ever was created.

2. You have to START STARTING!

Make that first video and post it.
Write that first poem.
Get on stage at the open mic.
Get that first story done.
Expand that doodle to a painting!
God Can't Bless You Until you
START!

3. BE READY!
The reason God wants to BLESS YOU?
Is because your voice will bless someone else.
After God, family and friends...my biggest blessings come from exploring other peoples arts.
I remember quotes that enrich me every day. I have pictures in my tablet that make me want to paint everyday.

Then in times when I may think my poetry is small, my events are unappreciated or no one likes www.deepdopesoul.com?

Someone tells me that I inspired them. 
And if there is a drug cooler than that? I don't want it.

I am not going to detail about my blessings here...because they are for me...God has special blessings he's holding for you. 
Claim them now!
Do not worry about who hurt you in the past.
Don't keep replaying whoever said you can't.
Dwelling on past hurt will not take you where you want to go today.
What I remember from the past is that call I got from The Source and I knew my life was going to change.
I want everyone ...I ever knew (even people that don't like me) to feel the unbound happiness I felt when I realized I would indeed be a part of the journalism movement that created The Source Magazine. Today I am blessed because now Deep Dope Soul represents a movement that (we hope) blesses artists and writers will we say... "we want to be involved in this movement."
