Staying Motivated

As we all know, life can be difficult at times.  Some days everything seems to fall in place.  Other days nothing  works out no matter how hard you work your plan.  Your decision to grow dreadlocks can add to stress by bringing negative comments, stares, and "crazy" questions about hair into your life. 

For these reasons, find ways to strengthen your mind and fortify your faith.    Meditation, affirmations, visualization, and  self-improvement programs are all powerful tools you can use everyday to help you succeed. 

Webster defines essence as fundamental nature or quality.  I hope this site will lead you in the direction of living the highest quality of life possible as you grow your dreadlocks.  Strive to live to the best of your abilities and accept your beauty in its purest form.

We all have a common thread to the one source of life.  There are no two fingerprints the same in the universe because our great God blessed us with different unique talents. Growing dreadlocks can help you learn a lot about yourself.  Most importantly, you can overcome any obstacles with faith.  

One important lesson I must share with you.  What you believe others think about you is actually what you FEAR they are thinking about you.  When I was seeking employment and believing no one was going to hire me because of my hair, I was wrong for doubting myself.  In hindsight, it was me who believed these false accusations. I beat myself up before giving my new look and self a chance.  

Much about motivation and being positive has been covered throughout the book. But they alone do not bring the necessary changes to define your existence.  Change comes from education, knowledge, and the will to do whatever it takes to succeed.
