Giving up is NOT an option

So what if the plan did not go as planned. It is ok if life's GPS had to take another route. The option to give up...is just not an option for you. Keep pressing forward, keep taking steps to get to your ultimate goal (whatever it is). When you stay focused on where you are going (the end result), you may need to stop and rest for a while, but you get back on track towards our destination. Just visualize yourself on a road trip stopping ever so often to get gas, stretch, sight see, etc. but you always get back in the car and keep moving to your final destination. Life can be viewed the same way. Challenges are going to happen, just remember wisdom comes with experience so keep moving and never give up!

Imperfectly Perfect
Imperfectly Perfect, that is what you are! It is so easy to get caught up in all that is wrong with us. We say things to ourselves like I am too fat, too skinny, too light, too dark, too this or that, but that is not encouraging at all. Today I ask that you stop focusing on the negative and focus on the positive in your life. Whatever you think is a problem could be the one thing(s) that others absolutely love and adore about you. If you want to change something you can do it or strive towards changing it from day to day. It all starts when you renew your mind and change your thinking. After that, just take one step and watch how things start to flow. Connections will happen when you least expect it and blessings begin to pour into your walk to achievement. These things can only happen when you put on your shoes and start walking towards your destiny. The end results will be so rewarding, just wait and see! For today just bash in your imperfectly perfectness because you were not made this way without purpose. 


On your mark, get set, go!

Hello there! Welcome to the Blessed News Network Blog! This is my very first blog entry and I am excited to get this thing started. I was inspired to start this blog because there is so much negativity out there and I want to be a source of inspiration and positivity. There is always good news and a reason to be grateful. So for starters here are the lyrics to a song that definitely gives us all something to smile about :-)


Don't Worry, Be Happy
by Bobby McFerrin

Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry, you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now

Ooo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo hoo-hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry
Woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-ooo
Be happy
Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry, be happy

Ooo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo hoo-hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry
Woo-oo-woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Be happy
Woo-oo-woo-oo-ooo
Don't worry, be happy

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The landlord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, (ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha) be happy (look at me, I'm happy)

Ooo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Be happy
Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo (Here, I'll give you my phone number. When you're worried, call me. I'll make you happy.)

Ooo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Be happy
Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
But don't worry, be happy
'Cause when you're worried, your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now

Ooo-oo-hoo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Be happy
Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry, be happy

Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Be happy
Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry, be happy

Now there, is this song I wrote
I hope you learned it note-for-note, like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
A-listen to a-what I say
In your life, expect some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy, be happy now

Ooo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Be happy
Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry, be happy

Ooo-oo-hoo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Be happy
Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry, be happy

Ooo-oo-hoo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry, don't worry
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't do it, be happy
Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this

Ooo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
It will soon pass, whatever it is
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don't worry, be happy

(fading...)
Ooo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
I'm not worried
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
I'm happy
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
