DAILY ESSENTIALS – YOU vs FEAR – BY ESSENCE McDOWELL
Anyone with goals and dreams also has fears. We fear that it’s impossible, we fear what others with think, we fear that we are incapable of accomplishing. To fear is to be human. But fear should not have any control over your actions (or lack thereof). Remind yourself that the power you have to succeed is far greater than any obstacle or fear! If you need additional assistance read Pick The Brain’s tool for 7 ways to overcome your fears. http://www.pickthebrain.com/blog/overcome-fear-of-failure/
Don’t let fears inhibit your success, let success inhibit your fears!
Have an astounding Tuesday.

DAILY ESSENTIALS – NO ONE STEP IS TOO HARD – A ONE WEEK CHALLENGE
“In a race, there is one
step between winning and losing. In life there’s one step between
accomplishing goals and falling short.”
Accomplishing goals doesn’t have to be difficult. Think about it in a
step-by-step process. You put one foot in front of the other and that
simple move propels you forward. The same thing goes for your goals.
Break the goal down into smaller tasks and before you know it, you’re
closer to accomplishing that goal. Of course, looking at the big
picture can be daunting. But, one step isn’t difficult. Get one thing
done today and another tomorrow.
Let’s make this week a challenge! Break your goal down into smaller
steps. Then, each day this week accomplish ONE step.
*DAILY ESSENTIALS* GO OUT AND TAKE IT – THE ROOTS – UNDUN – ALBUM REVIEW
“It’s about a passion that’s unyielding. I need you to know today, It is YOUR time. It is YOUR hour. It is YOUR moment. GO TAKE IT!!!” ~The Roots.
Listening to the Roots new album Undun, it becomes more clear that the hidden jewels of hip-hop are not hidden. The jewels are blatant and in your face. The jewels are in the form of beats that move you. They are the lyrics that motivate you. That push you rhythmically to go beyond your limits. To exceed in your desires to succeed. If you listened to their last album “How I Got Over” and their latest release “Undun” or practically any of the other Roots’ albums, it’s clear that this group has a unique style of their own. A style that incorporates socio-political issues, common struggles and even street knowledge. I believe all true hip-hop fans will agree, the Roots never fail to disappoint. But don’t take my word for it, listen to the album(s) yourself. In the meantime, take that quote from the song “Stomp” [track 163] and incorporate it into your day—Engrain it into your LIFE.
It is YOUR time. It is YOUR hour. It is YOUR moment. GO TAKE IT!!!!

*DAILY ESSENTIALS* – CHOICES – ESSENCE McDOWELL
Your choices have created your present circumstances
like a paintbrush creates an artwork. Think of each decision a brush

do not have to be negative. The universal paradox is that if you choose
wisely, your days will be a beautiful reflection of those choices.

DAILY ESSENTIALS – BETTER THAN YESTERDAY- ESSENCE McDOWELL
The status quo says that we must win at all cost. Society suggests that in order to be considered successful you have to be on top or in front of everyone else. Just because these are popular notions of progression, it does not mean we have to personally live by them. Our aspirations should be individually based. The ultimate goal is to self-improve. If you are better than you were previously, you are truly moving in the right direction. Today, make it your mission to better than you were yesterday. Have a great day! Essentially Essence.
