belladoc Thinking Out Loud (TOL) #1*****Sometimes it's hard to walk away from the familiar, those things that helped us, those things that shaped us and even those things that broke us, but being hard doesn't mean, "being impossible". It's the wise person who knows when it's time to move on, when it's time to ignore, when it's time to let go and when it's time to secure.

belladoc It's a wise person who chooses peace in the face of affliction and who knows that a soft answer turns away wrath, but a grievous one stirs up anger. It's a wise person who knows that tough love doesn't equate to no love. Simply put, it's the wise person who chooses to stop and think. With love~~SophieBella3 9.07.2015 ©

belladoc TOL #2 … Life is so delicate and extremely precious, but often times we lose sight of that. So often, we forget that our actions have a rippling effect. What we do truly does matter! Our busy lives demand that we pay attention to all that’s happening, but fails to teach us to pay attention to the things we do. CONT...

belladoc Just like the Butterfly Effect, I quote, “The butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.” Always try to keep in mind that your very action WILL result in an equal and opposite reaction, no matter how innocent or how complex that action may be.

belladoc As with a drop of water, isn’t it funny how that one drop, no matter how small or large, has 2 results. 1, it causes a new drop to come out of the water and 2, it causes a ripple. Hummm, so not only did that one drop cause a new drop to be created, that one drop also caused waves to move through that body of water it pierced. One action, two effects!

belladoc TOL #3 Ah, Strength, such a beautifully complicated profound thing. What is Strength I say? Strength, is the pain and disappointment seen in the eyes of one who’s lost a loved one, but yet they press on. Strength! Strength, is when a mother allows her child to experience life’s harsh realities. Strength! Strength, is holding on to your conviction when the world says you’d better let go. Strength!

belladoc Strength, is facing opposition with a positive attitude. Strength! Strength, is choosing to love after you’ve been hurt. Strength! Strength, is choosing to crawl when you know you can’t walk right after you’ve taken that fall. Strength! Strength, is choosing to make the best of every situation. Strength! Strength, is always lending a hand even when you’ve been dealt a bad hand yourself. CONT...SophieBella3 9.21.2015 ©

belladoc Strength! Strength, is turning the other cheek even when you know you’ll be slapped again. Strength! Strength, is remembering what is now behind while pressing on to newer heights. Strength! Strength, is when you’re surrounded by hate, yet you allow your love to radiate. Strength! Strength, is holding your head high when life tells you to run and hide. Strength! Strength, reaches its pinnacle when individualism is embraced. Strength! CONT CONT.SophieBella3 9.21.2015 ©

belladoc Strength is something which is commonly misunderstood. It’s said that Strength is something you have, it’s innate, it’s something that you build. So what is Strength, YOU say? Well I say, Strength is something that YOU choose; it’s the choices YOU make which help you to be a better YOU. Strength is hidden in the choices YOU make which help YOUR inner light shine through. Strength! ~SophieBella3 9.21.2015 ©

belladoc TOL#4 Say what you mean and mean what you say. We often say things out of anger, frustration and despair without ever thinking of the repercussion of our words. Words have life, they have meaning and they carry weight. Words have great substance. Our words have the power to annihilate, to sadden, to build up, to heal and to restore. They can mend a broken heart or break a whole heart. Words are powerful! CONT...SophieBella3 9.25.2015 ©

belladoc “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” A well-known childhood saying that is such a fallacy! Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can definitely hurt you. When you send words out, despite if you’ve sent those words out loosely or intentionally, those very words vibrate. They resonate in the souls of others, but more importantly, they resonate within YOU! CONT...SophieBella3 9.25.2015 ©

belladoc Your words will never return void. When you utter a thing multiple times, someone may eventually agree with your utterance. They may believe the repetition of the words you speak demonstrates your seriousness. As such, when they come into agreement with YOUR words, do not be angered. Remind yourself that it is you who have convinced them of your desire based on your words which you have spoken. CONT...SophieBella3 9.25.2015 ©

belladoc So my friend, think twice before you speak, being conscious to say what you mean and mean what you say. Think twice before you speak and constantly remind yourself that the very words you speak are the very words that will create your reality. What you send out will come back to you. So send love and acceptance and eventually love and acceptance will overtake you. Refrain from sending hate and rejection, least hate and rejection will engulf you.~~SophieBella3 9.25.2015 ©

belladoc TOL#6 What’s your reality? Do you see life as a bed of bothersome weeds or a garden of vibrant flowers? Is your reality those things you wish them to be or is your reality that which you can physically see? Your reality is what you perceive it to be. If you perceive a thing as good then that thing is good in your eyes. Reality is that which is evident to both your naked and your mind’s eye. CONT...SophieBella3 10.4.2015 ©

belladoc Reality is what you make it out to be and to others your reality may be the unfathomable.So, does your perception make you the unfathomable? Possibly. It is true that you may be deemed unfathomable if you show yourself to be: irrational, unreasonable and intolerable. It is also true that you may even be deemed insane if you choose to go against the grain, but does going against the grain make you insane? So some would say, but what do you say?

belladoc I say, you cause harm and affliction when you’re being irrational. I say, you cause harm and affliction when you choose to be unreasonable. I say, it is the harm and affliction you cause which makes you intolerable. However, it is the love and peace you share which makes you tolerable. It is the love and peace you share which deems you reasonable. CONT...SophieBella3 10.4.2015 ©

belladoc It is the love and peace you share which proves you to be rational. It is the love and peace you choose to share in the face of opposition that makes you the unfathomable.

belladoc TOL#7 "The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for." ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky “What’s your purpose? How do you find it?” The infamous question asked throughout the ages. Believe it or not, the answer is quite simple. Your purpose is your passion and your passion is that creative desire you can’t stop thinking of. It’s the creative thought which plagues you.CONT...SophieBella3 10.11.2015 ©

Nov 29Reply

belladoc So why do so many people spend most of their life living like a fish out of water? It is because there’s an ulterior motive. They believe their passion isn’t good enough, which translates to, “Pursuing this passion won’t satisfy all the worldly desires I have.” As such, they pursue that which they feel will be a great means to an end. They seek that which is not their passion. CONT...SophieBella3 10.11.2015 ©

Nov 29Reply

belladoc Ask yourself: “Why do I seek that which is not my passion? Why do I suppress the feelings I have for this passion? Why are my thoughts being held captive by this passion? Why do I continue revisiting the place in my soul where the burning for this passion resides?” Now, although there are a plethora of answers, I find that the most profound factor is fear! “False evidence appearing real.”~Joyce Meyer CONT...SophieBella3 10.11.2015 ©

Nov 29Reply

belladoc Fear causes you to suppress your desire(s), while fear, doubt and shame combined, debilitates you. You’re fearful that you may not satisfy the challenge at hand or you fear the unknown. You lack confidence in your ability to fulfill the mission at hand; you doubt. You doubt if you’re capable of making your passion a reality. You say, “If this doesn’t work, I’ll be a failure! I’ll be the laughing stock of others. I’ll be ashamed.” CONT...SophieBella3 10.11.2015 ©

Nov 29Reply

belladoc Or maybe you feel ashamed of your passion. You believe others may be judgmental of your desire. You fear the possibility of shame. Nevertheless, it is important for you to realize that fear, doubt and shame are all learned feelings, they’re not innate. Realize that the real challenge lies within the mastery of one's feelings and that you have the power to suppress every one of those feelings. In doing so, you’ll be astonished to see how you’ll soar like an eagle. CONT...SophieBella3 10.11.2015 ©

Nov 29Reply

belladoc The truth of the matter is, fear, doubt and shame will forever be present, but the existence of the 3 are not determinants of whether or not you’ll operate in your passion. Instead, it is the swiftness and fierceness you employ in order to push those feelings aside which will determine the destiny of your passion. It is then that you’ll be able to explore your passion. It is then that you’ll begin to live on purpose. ~~SophieBella3 10.11.2015 ©

belladoc How often do you show love! The true test of love is not in the giving to those whom you cherish, but in the giving to he who despises you or the stranger around you. Your answers tell you about the true you. Your answers will reveal the beauty within you and that beauty lies in the purest form of you. It’s the form that lends a helping hand even if your hand’s broken. CONT...SophieBella3 10.18.2015 ©

Nov 29Reply

belladoc Have you ever asked yourself, “What is happiness? What is joy?” Some say, “Joy is having no problems. It’s the absence of: sadness, sickness or anything bad. It’s a “happy” feeling.” I say, how would you know happiness and joy if you never experienced the opposite? You would have nothing to compare the “happy” feeling to. Then they become silent. As Joe Louis once said, "Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.”CONT...SophieBella3 10.25.2015 ©

Nov 29Reply

belladoc You see, within all things, there must be balance. Your acceptance or rejection of an occurrence is of minimal importance, but the knowledge and acceptance of the inevitability of said occurrence is pivotal. It is your knowledge and acceptance of a thing which leads to balance. Always remember that whether the occurrence is or is not pleasant, that very occurrence is destined to happen.

belladoc So, as you scurry through life seeking that place in which you call, “Bliss,” know that, not only will your path offer you “life’s unpleasantries,” your path will mandate that you accept them. There is no escaping the realities of life, there’s only its anticipated arrival. It is your reaction to life’s circumstances which determines your level of peace, but even greater, it is your understanding of balance which is key.~~SophieBella3 10.25.15 ©

belladoc TOL#10 "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."~ Ralph Waldo Emerson TOL#10 Do you control your anxieties or do your anxieties control you? Finding yourself engulfed in the: “What ifs, should’ve, could’ve and would’ve” indicates you’re enslavement to those things which are and will forever remain out of your control. You believe you’ve been dealt a bad hand in life and now every day’s a struggle. SophieBella3 11.01.15 ©

Nov 29Reply

belladoc You’re convinced you’re alone in your fight against the world, but are these fears real? Yes, your fears are real. They’re real because your fears are the negative thoughts you’ve allowed to overtake your mind and those very thoughts become a toxin to every fiber of your being. As such, you begin withdrawing from those you love and cherish. You find yourself withdrawing from the world. Although a recluse, you proceed to host a huge shindig.Cont..SophieBella3 11.01.15 ©

Nov 29Reply

belladoc You celebrate all that’s not good. You celebrate all your anxieties and their strength. You host the infamous “pity party!” That’s right, you’ve become captive to your fears. Your false evidence that appears real just become real because you’ve allowed it to take root within you. Your anxieties spawned from the false notions you chose to entertain and in the entertaining of those notions you allowed your fears to materialize. Cont..SophieBella3 11.01.15 ©

belladoc You see, the travesty in your life does not come from your past failures. The travesty in your life comes from your failure to press through the doubts, anxieties and fears that lie within you.

belladoc To think you need another to make you whole is to live a life of incompleteness. It is a life destined to be filled with dissatisfaction and unfulfillment. You see, you are fearfully and wonderfully made and as such you are fully complete. You were not made broken nor are you fractionated. You’ve been crafted in the image of the Most High God.

Nov 29Reply

belladoc With this being the case, then surely you must realize and accept that who you are and who you’re destined to be is a person of beautiful magnificence. That is the truth. It’s time you awaken to the truth. It’s time you ingrain such truth into your head if you haven’t done so as yet. If you’re alone, without a mate, I want you to celebrate. Celebrate your freedom. Celebrate your life. Celebrate the time you have for getting to know you. Cont..SophieBella3 11.06.15 ©

Nov 29Reply

belladoc Remember, it is not fair of you to expect another to understand you if you don’t even know and understand you. If you’re engaged in a relationship take time to ask yourself, “Am I whole?” If you say you’re whole then ask yourself this, “What’s made me feel whole?” If you conclude that it’s your mate who completes you, you may want to take time to self-reflect. When doing so, make sure you delve deep into your mind’s eye. Cont..SophieBella3 11.06.15 ©

belladoc "It doesn’t take a lot of strength to hang on. It takes a lot of strength to let go." ~J.C. Watts TOL#12 It’s better to relax and accept each problem you encounter, than to stress over it. Was there ever a time you had a problem, you stressed about it and your stress made the problem better? Did your stressing resolve the issue? I bet you it didn’t. Cont..SophieBella3 11.16.15 ©

Nov 29Reply

belladoc You stressing over a matter only added frustration to the equation because once you realized that you stressing isn’t changing things, it led to your frustration. So how do you let go? How do you not stress when things seem so bad? Simple, just do it! Train yourself to intentionally decide to not stress and before you know it, not stressing will become second nature to you; we’d all be so much better off. When you stress you begin acting outside of your character. Cont..SophieBella3 11.16.15 ©

Nov 29Reply

belladoc Your new action will probably be a negative reaction. That negative reaction affects others in a negative way and as such their response will probably be negative leading to more stress. Ultimately, you become part of a chain of negative events with you being the ringleader. All this because of what; because you stressed about something that’s out of your control. Your issue, your situation, your current state is already done. Cont..SophieBella3 11.16.15 ©

belladoc TOL#13 "The only man who makes no mistakes is the man who never does anything.”~ Jacob A. Riis TOL#13 Is it your failures or is it you who’s hindering you? It’s true that the things you’ve done that never materialized tend to cause you shame and pain. So where are those things that never materialized? Where are those failures? Those failures are the things you’ve stuffed into your cache, hidden in the deepest part of your soul. SophieBella3 11.22.2015 ©

belladoc Although your wish is to forget them, you can barely manage to subdue them. Given the opportunity and the right environment, your subdued emerges as a scar. It’s a thorn in your side. It’s a pain revisited. Whether it’s a temporary or permanent visit is completely up to you. Are you strangling and snuffing out the light which awaits you?

Nov 29Reply

belladoc It’s your hesitancy that prevents you from experiencing the life’s beauty. It’s you who kills your dreams because it’s you who lacks the desire to make a way to your destiny. We’ve heard people say, “He’s such a dream killer,” referring to their antagonist. However, ask yourself this, can someone kill that which is within you? Is it really possible for another to slaughter your thoughts, your desires, your passion? Cont...SophieBella3 11.22.2015 ©

Nov 29Reply

belladoc Truly they cannot. If they do it’s because you’ve allowed them to. You gave them the power and authority to trample on your thoughts. You gave them the power to subdue that which is within you. If you’ve failed, it’s because you had the courage to pursue your dream, your thoughts, your desire, your passion. So even if you move forward in fear it matters not that you are afraid. What matters is you were courageous enough to move forward while experiencing fear. Cont...SophieBella3 11.22.2015 ©

So now ask yourself, “Do I prefer peace and joy or do I prefer torment and sadness?” The choice is yours. You decided. ~ Blessings and love. ©~SophieBella3 07.10.2016 ©
