Judging someone based on their vote often says more about your character than it does about theirs.

If you’ve ever told someone they can’t be a true Christian (or a good person) if they vote a certain way, that's a form of control.

And control . . . not hate or apathy . . . is the opposite of love.

Consider how your words impact that person's sense of autonomy.

Consider how much your unwillingness to release judgment against them causes you to live out of alignment with your authentic self.

Love isn’t about control; it’s about releasing judgment. It's about acceptance and honoring one another's free will.

In a world that’s divided, choose empathy, respect, and kindness.

Here’s the bottom line… there’s a 50/50 chance the candidate you voted for will not be the President Elect tomorrow morning.

But no matter what happens… after today, you will still have the power to show love & respect to your neighbor… even if you consider them your enemy.

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you

Matt 5:44

Let’s change the narrative and start building bridges to a better tomorrow, so our children can have a brighter future.

No matter who you voted for, I love and respect you.

And I hope we can all show love to our neighbors, even if we disagree. Let’s choose unity over division and compassion over control. 🕊️✨

Setting boundaries isn’t just about saying "no" to others; it’s about saying "yes" to ourselves. It’s about living in alignment with our core values, improving our mental health, and fostering healthier relationships. When we prioritize our boundaries, we protect our time, energy, and emotional well-being, paving the way for a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Check out my latest article to learn how to set healthy boundaries in your personal and professional life.

Happy Monday!! I hope you are ready for a fabulous week. I wanted to share this article I wrote on the importance of living by and doing business by core values.

Hey, everyone!

Happy Saturday. You've probably noticed I've been posting different types of content lately. That's because I'm trying something new in the personal branding space. And that is to mix mindfulness, personal growth and spirituality with a person's personal branding journey.

Living according to our core values means embracing vulnerability and authenticity every single day. It’s about standing tall in our truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. When we commit to showing up as our true selves, we inspire others to do the same. 💪✨

One of these purposes I started Think Outside The Vein is to show people the journey to self-discovery begins by taking courageous acts. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it. Let’s embrace our unique voices and lead with integrity.

Who’s with me? 🙌❤️

📚✨ Instead of diving into new books, I recently decided to reread books I’ve already read. Currently, I’m rereading “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. 🧠💰

The first time I read it, I had direction but lacked purpose. My goal was simple: get more clients and make more money. But now, with Think Outside The Vein, my direction is fueled by purpose, and this book is helping me to sharpen my vision.

Another game-changer has been the Innertune app. It’s packed with positive affirmations for wealth, abundance, purpose, & more.

Plus, there are preset lists of affirmations tailored to “Think and Grow Rich” and other powerful books. 🌟📲

And the best part? The Innertune app is FREE! 🙌

Comment “Grow Rich” below, and I’ll send you the link! 👇💬

No. America does not need gun control. America needs healing. America has been traumatized over and over again.

We cannot think for one second gun control wil stop the violence, for the evil will always made a way to manifest itself.

The core of any violence is inability to respond in a healthy way to their emotional trauma.

Today’s attempted Trump assassination should be a wake up call to all Americans we can no longer allow the rhetoric to divide us.

We need to move forward and focus on healing from generations of emotional wounds we have suffered.
