GEMS with Genesis Amaris Kemp

Wait, Hold On, Be Still...Don't be too quick to jump up and jump start. Be at one with yourself by being still, meditating, cultivating your thoughts, and spending that quiet time distraction-free to get your day started on a positive and high note. Sometimes we just jump up and we forget to say a prayer, recite some thankfulness or gratitude for a new day, declare how we want our day to go. Inste...

It is VITAL to know your worth, keep your self-worth, and stop settling. Don't take the easy way out because things are taking longer than you expected it because then you are sacrificing your peace of mind, sanity, lessening who you are to appease others, and over time you will be filled with resentment. It may be frustrating at times because you wonder why things aren't going as planned, why peo...

Have you ever heard the saying, "Give people their flowers while they can bloom"? Well, that means to let people enjoy the growth process, transition, beauty, and sweet aroma while they can partake in the various seasons.

Well don't get discouraged because every setback is a setup for a great comeback...you may be down but not out, you may go from the top to the bottom, from the right to the left but during that trial and testing it is producing newness as long as you learn to PIVOT and gain a new perspective.

Have you ever heard the saying that "Time is of the Essence"? What do you think that means? We may each have our interpretation. I want you to be mindful and intentional about the amount of time you are spending on certain things.

Are you anchored to people and things that are causing you to be weighed down? Where you feel burnout, exhausted mentally, physically, and emotionally and you just want to be FREE.

If it's not serving a valid purpose then it's time for you to remove the anchor. If you...

Have you ever heard the saying "Your Network is Your Net Worth"? Do you agree? Networking is key because you never know how someone can influence others, create opportunities, put in a good word for you, create lasting friendships, etc. It should be mutually beneficial where you can both gain something from the connection. Don't have the WIIFM = What's In It for Me but shift it to WIIFU What's In...

Have you ever heard the saying, "Sometimes You Have to Give Them a Taste of Their Own Medicine". Do you know what that means or how does this resonate with you? Sometimes people treat you a certain way and they expect you to keep taking it, but when you dish it out to show them how it makes you feel. They think you are being petty or inconsiderate. It's not about being petty but it's about showing...

Have you ever wanted something so bad that when you finally got it you realized it wasn't what you really needed? We all have wants and needs but I want you to ask yourself why do you want certain things? Is it for validation, status quo, so it can fill a void, or just because. Now ask yourself what are things you need...i.e. shelter, food, clothing, great health, etc. Do you have your wants and n...

We all have a reason behind our WHY. Whether you share it outwards with others or you keep it inwards until certain things come to manifestation. Take time to reflect on why you think the way you think, why you act the way you act, why you grind/hustle the way you do, why??? So many reasons why we do certain things. My question to you...do you know the reasons behind your why? If not take this tim...

Here is a snippet of how important it is to share your story and be unapologetically you. Your story can change lives.

Has someone said something that hurt your feelings and rubbed you the wrong way? Have their actions caused you to second guess? They talk a good game, say they love you, and all this extra fluff but the words that come out their mouth and their actions aren't measuring up. Have you been there? How did it make you feel? Well, the good news is that we have choices and we do not have to condone their...

Don't take your life and things you have for granted. If you woke up to see a new day then you are truly blessed and each day has new blessings tied to it.

So it's time to retrain our mindset and instead of comparing ourselves to others, we should ask ourselves how can we compliment...
