Pathways to Positive Living, LLC "Where the journey of positive living begins within." Life can surely throw us a curve ball from time to time. Happiness is certainly a choice. Tracey G.

However, we can learn to become resilient and develop a mindset that we are over-comers. No one is immune to life’s disappointments, nor its ups and downs in our personal and professional lives. Yet there is still hope that we can function in society without feeling like we can not make it another day. Remember it starts with you , not your job, your bank account, your friends and family. These are just “add ons”. True Happiness lies within you! I have personally been on this journey riding an emotional rollercoaster until I began to “ Pursue the path to help me put my life together, searched deep within myself, and recognized what was really important.” I have my own personal experiences as well as experience helping others to improve their quality of life for more than twenty years. No one can do this alone. Come on let’s get started pursuing the right path to improve your quality of life”.

Meredithe's Motivational Moment

"Spring is Here and So is Your Time to Rise"

Grand rising everyone. This is a New Day and one that we have never seen before so let's rejoice and be glad in it!

We have recently witnessed a change in a new season, SPRING. The clocks and the time have been reset, and we have had to adjust and Spring forward. If we look at the word spring in the context of it being a verb, it says "to release, develop, leap, or arise."

Spring doesn’t just mark a new season, it signals a new opportunity to become.

The flowers don’t bloom by holding onto what was, they rise by releasing, renewing, and reaching toward the light. And so can you.

This is your moment to do more than just clean your home,
it’s time to declutter your life from the inside out.

✨ Emotionally: You’ve carried enough. Old wounds, unspoken frustrations, and the weight of what didn’t work, this is your permission to release it. You are not meant to stay stuck in what hurt you. You are meant to rise beyond it.

✨ Spiritually: This season is calling you back to center. Back to God. Back to truth. Back to alignment. Clear out the distractions. Quiet the noise. There is clarity waiting for you in stillness and direction waiting for you.

✨ Holistically: Rising isn’t just spiritual it’s intentional.
It’s choosing rest when you’ve been running on empty.
It’s nourishing your body, protecting your peace, and creating rhythms that sustain you. Your whole life shifts when you start honoring your whole self.

Here’s what rising looks like in this season:

🌿 Releasing what no longer aligns
🌿 Resetting your mind and priorities
🌿 Reclaiming your peace and power
🌿 Realigning with your purpose
🌿 Leaping even if it feels uncomfortable
🌿 Developing a new version of you

Ladies and gentlemen understand this:
You are not behind. You are not too late. You are being renewed for what’s next.

So with that being said, open the windows. Let the light in. Let go of what’s been weighing you down.

Spring is here, and so is your time to rise.

Remember to Bloom where you are planted until God changes things.

















Until the next moment,

Coach Meredithe

Handling Difficulties

Have you ever felt like it is always something? No matter how hard you try, things seem to be tough and if it's not one thing, it's another. Well let the truth be told, all of us have had some days like that. Life just happens sometimes. Isn't it great to know that trouble don't last always. Prayer is a vehicle that we have that can turn any test into a testimony. I offer you a word of encouragement and hope today.
When things are difficult and chaotic, you need to be like a computer. CONTROL, ALT, DELETE. Control what you can. Develop an alternative attitude, delete some negative behaviors as well as people from your circle. When all else fails, just shut down and reboot!

Make it a great day family.

Hello March 🌿 | A New Month, A Fresh Start
A new month is more than a change on the calendar, it’s an invitation.
An invitation to reset what didn’t work.
To refocus where we became distracted.
To recommit to the goals we quietly put down when life became heavy.
March reminds us that growth is often happening beneath the surface before we ever see results. Just like spring prepares the earth for new life, this month can be a season of preparation, discipline, and quiet transformation.

Let March represent:
M – Momentum over motivation. We show up even on the days we don’t feel inspired.
A – Alignment with what truly matters, our purpose, our peace, and our priorities.
R – Resilience through challenges that are shaping, not breaking us.
C – Consistency in the small daily choices that create lasting change.
H – Hope that reminds us it’s never too late to begin again.

You don’t have to have everything figured out this month.
You just have to take the next faithful step.
Release what February carried.
Forgive yourself for delays.
Celebrate progress, even the quiet kind.
This is your reminder: growth doesn’t require perfection, only participation.

So walk into March with intention.
Set new goals. Adjust old ones. Protect your peace. Trust your process.
Let’s move forward one day, one decision, one victory at a time.

Meredithe's Motivational Moment

Self Worth

Sometimes in life you may feel a sense of not measuring up. To rid yourself of that “less than” feeling and strengthen your feeling of worthiness, locate your safe sanctuary and enter. In the silence and with measured breath, open your heart, spirit, mind and eyes to reflection and messages revealed. Utilizing gratitude, give thanks to the Creator of your beliefs and understanding for the blessings and gifts given to you and for new opportunities today. Before you move forward, know that where you are right now and being who you are, is enough.

You may have the idea that you are here to accomplish something big in your life, and if you haven't accomplished this big action, you may begin to feel as if you are somehow lacking or unworthy. You may begin to feel incomplete, or empty, even confused because your life, and actions, don't line up with your idea of this big accomplishment. Through reflection and introspection learn to be gentle with you by realizing that just being here, and being who you are, is enough.

As you live your life and travel in this world, you share your energy and your spirit with the human beings and creatures big and small around you in numerous ways. Your actions, attitude and compassion touches their lives and, through them, like ripples on the water touches the lives of many more human beings and creatures. By living your life to the fullest and becoming your true and authentic self, you are doing something big. There is no need to cling to the idea that you need to make headlines or single-handedly save the world in order to validate your self-worth. You are already worthy of being here.

Have a great day!

🌱✨ Seeds of Greatness ✨🌱

Every word you speak is a seed. When you open your mouth, you are planting something, either encouragement or discouragement, possibility or limitation, life or destruction. The atmosphere responds to what you release into it.

The truth is, you already carry seeds of greatness within you. They were placed there before you ever took your first breath. But seeds don’t grow unless they’re nurtured. Just as a garden requires sunlight, water, and care, your inner greatness requires the nourishment of positive words, affirmations, and intentional thoughts.

✨ When you speak faith, you water the seed.
✨ When you speak peace, you strengthen the roots.
✨ When you speak courage, you push the seed to break through the soil.
✨ When you speak love, you prepare the harvest.

Be mindful: the words you repeat daily, over yourself, your family, your future, will shape the harvest you see tomorrow. If you want to walk in purpose, start speaking words that align with it today.

You are powerful. You are chosen. You are capable. You are equipped. These are not just words, they are truths waiting for you to claim them. 🌟

So today, I challenge you: Speak life. Speak hope. Speak victory. Because the greatness inside of you is waiting for your words to unlock it.

💭 What seeds will you choose to plant in your life today?

Until the next moment,

🌟 Time Is Precious — Use It Well 🌟

Every second you live is a gift you’ll never get back. Time is the one thing we all have in common — but how we choose to use it sets us apart.

Don't wait for the "perfect moment" — create it.
Don’t dwell on what you can’t change — grow from it.
Don’t spend your days just existing — live purposefully.

⏳ Your dreams are waiting.
💬 That encouraging word someone needs? Speak it today.
💡 The idea burning in your heart? Start building it.
❤️ The people you love? Make time for them.

You will never regret the time you invested in becoming more of who you were created to be.

Let today be the day you stop postponing your purpose.
Time is too precious to waste — use it to become unstoppable. 🌱✨

The Balance of Life

Life is a delicate balance of sweet and sour experiences, a roller coaster ride of ups and downs that test our resilience and determination. In this unpredictable journey, our ability to find joy amidst the daily struggles and to achieve success hinges on our capacity to persevere through even the toughest adversity without losing hope.

Things to consider:

1. Embracing the Fluctuations: Life's journey is characterized by its highs and lows. It is essential to embrace both the sweet moments of triumph and the sour challenges that come our way, recognizing that each experience contributes to our growth and resilience.

2. Finding Joy in the Struggle: Amidst the trials and tribulations of life, it is crucial to find pockets of joy and gratitude. By cultivating a positive mindset and seeking moments of happiness in even the smallest victories, we can navigate the daily struggles with a sense of optimism and resilience.

3. Persevering Through Adversity: True success is not only measured by achievements but also by our ability to persevere through adversity. It is in the face of the toughest challenges that our strength and determination are truly tested, and it is through unwavering perseverance that we can overcome obstacles and achieve our goals.

In the game of life, where sweet and sour experiences intertwine, our capacity to persevere through adversity and find joy in the daily struggle shapes our path to success and fulfilment.

By embracing the fluctuations, finding moments of joy, and persevering through even the toughest challenges, we unlock the potential to thrive, grow, and flourish in the face of life's uncertainties.

Make it a Fantastic Friday!

🌟 Meredithe’s Motivational Moment 🌟

"When Life Shifts, So Can You."

Life has a way of hitting hard sometimes. You’re doing your best to show up, keep the faith, and press forward, but the setbacks feel relentless. The disappointments are piling up. You’ve asked quietly (or loudly), “Lord… when is it going to be my turn? or Why am I experiencing this?”
I want to speak to the moments you don't post about—the ones where your smile feels forced and your heart feels tired. Because even in that place, there's still power. There's still hope. And yes—there’s still purpose.
Maybe this sounds familiar…
That marriage or relationship didn’t work out.
You keep reaching out, but the relationship feels one-sided.
The doctor gave you a negative report.
You lost someone you deeply love.
That job you wanted didn’t pan out.
You're feeling stuck in the current job or just life.
The position you thought was yours went to someone else.
The bank account doesn’t reflect the effort you’ve poured in.
And truthfully, you thought you’d be further along by now.
But here's the good news: you still have the power to pivot.
Pivoting doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it means you’ve chosen to shift rather than sink.
It means you’ve decided that this chapter won’t define your entire story. Every great story has a turning point. Every comeback starts with a decision to keep going.
So, take a deep breath. Straighten your back. Lift your head.
And pivot—on purpose, with purpose, for purpose.
Because you were made for more. And the next part of your story might just be the best yet.
Keep going. You’re not alone. You've got this!!!

Until the next moment.
