Everyone believes they have the perfect solution for you to move into the hub of your purpose. People can ONLY influence..YOU decide what your purpose is going to look like. Here are some quick tips to consider when moving toward the process of just being YOU!
1. Don’t let someone else tell you what your process should look like! Hear their opinion, line it up with (God’s)truth and YOU decide what works best for YOU!
2. Dig into yourself! Ask yourself everyday: What do I want from this season of my life? Then…day by day Ease Into that person! Writing it down is helpful.. but acting in it is even better!
3. Understand where you are going first! Develop a passion for it and then dig in!
4. Clean up your past and work on your future.
5. Connect with like-minds but don’t elevate them higher or lower than yourself!
6. Listen to the person within you who KEEPS popping up! She/He isn’t going anywhere! Become them!

We live our lives on the cusp of fate…waiting for someone / something to ruffle our feathers! Yet the opportunity always exists for us to gain an edge and be on top of our game. For this gift we will give up something… the comfort of relaxation.
I’ve lived a great portion of my life waiting for something spontaneous to happen! “Will I get a job today?” “Will I be picked next on the soccer team? Will he choose me to be his wife? While life was passing me by, I realize the consequence of JUST being reactive!
Yesterday, I shared with a friend that I missed watching “Amen” The 1986 sitcom was centered around a church deacon, Deacon Fry (Sherman Hemsley) , his daughter, Thelma (Ana Marie Horsford) and Rev. Gregory (Clifton Davis).
What stood out to me most about the show was Thelma Fry’s undying pursuit and interest in Rev. Gregory. Though he denied her request many, many, many times she did not give up! After many seasons of denial, Rev. Gregory could not deny that Thelma was going to be a strong force in his life — no matter what and her love and pursuit of him would not cease. She was proactive. She GOT what she wanted…no matter how long it took!
In doing a bit of research, I found nearly 70% of the world population is reactive, while 30% of the population is proactive!
Pro-Active vs. Re-Active E-How author Grant McKenzie, defines the action of proactivity as planning ahead and anticipating problems. Whereas, being reactive means waiting for problems to appear before addressing them. She outlined the pros & cons of each.
PROS :”Being proactive can help eliminate problems before they appear and can make execution of your tasks more efficient. Being reactive can simplify the planning process, allowing you to act faster.” CONS: “Being proactive lengthens the planning process and can lead to overplanning as all potential options are analyzed. Being reactive can lead to unforeseen problems in execution that may require extensive time and effort to solve or correct.”
Most experts believe and teach the practice of balancing both worlds, “the importance of being proactive while maintaining a willingness to act. A balance of proper planning and effective execution is required for success.”
I also came across a great article on HubPages that talked about this subject from a biblical perspective. The author discusses his personal life and actions in relation to the change he had to undergo in order to be proactive! It is NOT an easy process! Believe me! He also shared about the extensive lengths God has gone to make sure we get the message! Prophets, Christ, His Word, Messengers (like us!) and spiritual confirmation. Amazing!
At the end of the day, you can’t plan for everything, but if you create a workable plan that gives structure and direction, while also leaving room for life’s surprises …things just might turn out okay!
Are you ready to do what it takes to be proactive (with a reactive backup) …today?

We have no problem moving through life in our own lane, just as long as we do not have to mesh too long with other people. Yet the blow of reality says, we ARE NOT created alone and our existence relies on the interaction of others.” When we interact with others…they meet our character! If our characters are not in alignment …we part ways until the developmental stages of our character is built on the same playing field!
Have you ever seen a makeover show? Do you remember how vastly different the person looked, acted and walked before the make over? Sure you do! Their character said, “I’m unattractive, unavailable, have low self esteem, and I don’t care.”
Nearly 45 minutes into the show, the person begins to shed the old existence… trading it in for a different look…a different life. The big reveal happens! They are stunningly beautiful, elegant and graceful! In those moments they traded one character for the next!
A friend of mine shared some great insights with me! He lives by the 90/10 rule. Only 10% of what you do counts…90% of what you ARE or WHO you are becoming is more important. So learning how to build your character or understanding what the level of people around you. Thinking about this scenario from a different perspective, Byron Katie talks about the 90/10 rule in reference to the way you respond to life circumstances. “10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.”
How you react severely determines the makeup of your character! Think about this… Who are you really? Do you like that person? Are you willing to change the dynamic of who that person is to take your life to the next level?
“Be A Boss”
What are you willing to risk to become YOU?
This weekend I had a chance to see “Burlesque,” with Cher and Christina Aguilera. Needless to say the movie was awesome and sexy. At the same time, the movie spoke volumes about breaking beyond yourself to become yourself and live your purpose. When asked why Christina came from Iowa to New York City she said,
“I didn’t see anyone in that town who’s life I wanted.”
When you arrive to a place in your life where ONLY purpose matters…you will have to leave your current existence behind to create the life you know you are destined to have. You might have to get up and go to a land you are not familiar with! You will be scared! You will be hesitant and apprehensive — but GO! There is a family of people who have what you need to make it to the next level!
Christina saw her dream and pursued it like a lost lover. Pushing past severe roadblocks and LOADS of no’s ….she kept going and became her Destiny! Some may believe that this is just a movie meant for the characters on the screen. Yet, if you look closer you will see yourself and your hearts desire calling your name! The road to you will NOT be easy but very worth it! Keep going! You are bound to win!
Don’t quit! Keep moving beyond yourself to the person God has called you to be. Inside of yourself you know exactly who THAT person IS! Become THEM! Sherita Searcy
Last year this time my life was not in a great place. I knew 2010 would be challenging, but I didn’t expect what I got! Around 4 months ago…I told the Lord I was fed up with life and if he did not have a purpose for me to just allow me to die! I wanted to commit suicide, because I felt I had no reason to continue living! God asked…”Are you ready now?” I just said ..”Yes”
I made a choice to re-enter journalism part-time (putting my speaking career on hold)..and venture further into my skill in graphic design full-time! I just made a descision to be consistent no matter what happened! I set a schedule and maintained it …no matter how much I didn’t feel like doing it!
Fast forward to this week — I hit #1 Graphic Designer on Fiverr.com, secured several corporate contracts and created an inspirational T-shirt that is flying off the shelf! That is NOT the exciting part!
The gift came in the form of me loving and forgiving myself…. forgiving and releasing my father and mother from the life I “thought I should have had” but never recieved from them. I let it go! I am reconciling a broken and painful relationship with my ex-husband so we can be better parents to our children. Clarification: Reconcilation doesn’t nessasarily mean you re-enter an intimate relationship with that person…you just work things out peaceably as possible for the greater good of those involved.
God is good because he pursues us and brings us back to Him. I am rich in spirit and soon those riches will be manifested physically! I don’t know what you are going through, but trust your process! Continue to remember who you are and why you are here…in time you will be posting your story too!
Put your name on the list to reserve your “Be The Boss” T-shirt!
The New Year is coming and it is time to get your life back on track! Learn how to become, “The Ultimate You.”
