PRIORITIZING THE BEST - Elvira Jordan Good Morning Beloved! 🧡 Even if I may not know you personally, you know that I love you dearly and I keep sending these morning messages because I care for you and I want the best for you. But then, no matter how much I love you; no matter how much another may claim to love you, no one can truly love you more than you love yourself. No one can t make the best choices for you if not you, and no one can wish better for you than they wish themselves (except maybe your parents). It is good to have a benevolent heart that wishes the best for others, but why will you relegate your own needs and wellbeing to please another? Why will you value another person’s happiness above yours? As much as we all claim to reject the spirit of “people pleasing”, there are times when we just feel the need to make others happy which is very good, but not at the expense of our own happiness. No! You deserve the best of everything and if life gives you the opportunity to c...

A JOURNEY WITH LESSONS (story time) - Elvira Jordan Good Morning Beloved 💛 Today I want to share a story with us. Whatever lesson you pick from it, do well to share your thoughts with me. So I recently traveled from Benin to Port Harcourt and it was quite an eventful and funny journey. Hopefully I will get into the details of the journey later but some things others would have seen as normal happened to me, that gave me a new insight on life. For sometime now my phone has been giving all kinds of indication that it needs to be replaced. So many other expenses have been putting off my efforts to get a new one. On my journey to PH, our bus made its routine stop at a popular eatery in Ughelli where passengers can get some food, use the restroom, stretch a bit and get back to their journey. I didn’t have breakfast that morning so I got some food and went to sit close to a socket so I could charge my phone that was already off due to low battery. I excused an elderly man who was sitting on...

THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND AND VISUALIZATION (Pt 2) - Elvira Jordan Good Morning Beloved 🎄 I promised a 2nd Part of this topic and here it goes… If you missed the first part, click here to catch up.  **** Many of us may have experienced this one way or another… I mean, everyone around you is down with Malaria and you’re saying to yourself “this one everybody has malaria, very soon my own will start…” and a few days later it starts.  Another example is “whenever I follow this road, I always hit my foot against a stone…” and even before you finish the statement, you are already tumbling over a stone. These are examples of how the subconscious mind works.  it doesn’t mean you’re unlucky or someone has set a charm for you on that particular road. The subconscious mind cannot differentiate positive from negative. It is a system that produces what you create in your mind, just the way you feed it. It doesn’t care whether headaches are good for you or not. As long as you’re thinkin...
