Recently, one of my southern warrior sister-tribe, sister, Dawn D. Totty who is an award winning designer/stager was on her way to yet another interesting assignment. She loves the path to the family’s house that she took the picture to share just the serenity surrounding her as she drive towards the house. Photography by Dawn D. Totty
I was instantly captivated by the picture and immediately asked if I had permission to use it. That same day, another southern warrior sister-tribe sister, Marlas Triplett-Sells, Our Teacher-Preacher sister and her husband Robert Sells were on their way to Indiana for July 4th (independence day) celebration here in the United States. Well, she too sent me a picture. This time it was a picture of them pushing through the storms to get to their destination.
Welcome to Warrior Wednesday: There is incredible power in our tongues. There are many ways we can sabotage our own success but through it all, there are 3 “must avoid” ways we must be aware of.
I have often been told especially by my parents to watch what I say, so not to invite “trouble” into my life. And as many times as I have heard them say it, I have defied them until….Listen Here Courtesy of Bola Thompson/ Logik Photography
On this blog/ podcast, you will find out the 3 Ways you are sabotaging your own success. And perhaps you will take heed to avoid them, so your success can finally be unleashed. regardless of the type of success you are seeking, whether you are a professional, or a business owner; we all desire to SUCCEED!
I have had the privilege of mentoring many. And throughout my mentoring, there are certain habits which hold true to those who discovered that they are self sabotaging.
Here are the 3 Ways:
(1) Using hurtful and self-defeating words against our own destiny/ life journey will only lead you to exactly what you said!
If you are constantly saying that you will never make it, well, do not be surprised if you indeed “never make it in life!” While it is real that we are struggling on a daily basis, it is important that we do not add more “drama” to what we are already going through with the words of our mouth. What happens when you speak evil on your own self?
You relinquish your power! And allow the negative forces around you to take over your life!
(2) Being prideful and haughty are fruits of self-sabotage.
When you are constantly thinking you are the only one with the answers; when you look down on others, even in your own unstable condition; all you are doing is destroying your own ability to prosper or succeed. Why? You are spending more time digging into other people’s’ business and not spending enough time understanding what may be going on in your own circumstances.
(3) Not listening to advice will only lead you on a road to self-sabotage! There is wisdom in a multitude of strong mentors advising you. And like the common saying “No man is an island”. You have spent all these years trying to do things your own way. Perhaps, it is now time to “fess up”, remove the veil/mask and let others in to help you.
“You have a Choice with our Own Words: To Speak Life or Death! It is up to you what you choose. Choose wisely, so you can move forward in what you are created to be.” TWEET QUOTE ~ Dr. Princess Fumi S. Hancock, RN
We must be careful to say what we mean, when we mean it and be careful to use words that will empower us and others around us. Regardless of what we may be going through in life, it is essential that we are mindful of our surroundings and learn to be the best we can, do the best we can, and allow words to heal rather than cause pain on ourselves and others around us.
Here is my question for you today~ What ways have you used hurtful words against yourself or others? Share your answers with me on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Start by doing what is necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing what’s impossible. ~ Francis Assisi
In this episode, I talk about the 4 Dream Killing Habits You Must Avoid before Launching that Dream Idea!
Procrastination is a deadly killer and not an option for anyone who desires success.
Lazinesscomes in different forms. Which one are you operating under?
Stubbornness – Not willing to learn or take advice, particularly from people who have gone the path you are about to venture into, is massacre for anything you desire to do.
Letting go of the past is a painful process we must intentional submit to, if we are ever going to see our dream fulfilled.
Extra Thought-provoking idea: Not willing to invest in oneself by learning and seeking out mentors is a completely counterproductive move.
I hope you have enjoyed what was shared in this podcast today. We must learn to take our life one day at a time, conquering one weakness at a time. But that will only happen if we make the decision to INTENTIONALLY TAKE ACTION, no matter how painful it may seem.

This 5 Minutes Blueprint Podcast unveils the truth and what we need to doing right now to achieve our dreams and success!
My weeks of gratitude continues this week with a continuation of the candid interview I had with a minute friend, Reverend Mary Leonard, (founder and President of Overcoming Faith Ministries, New Jersey). I want to take this opportunity to thank all those who reached out to me, that this blog has been a blessing to them. It is incredible to see the number of people whose lives have been touched with mental illness.
For success to take root in our lives, we also have to pay attention to our mental wellness. So, regardless of the life goal we may have, if this part of our lives are lacking…i.e. if we are living an unhealthy lifestyle, if mental illness is going unaddressed, the foundation for success in other areas of our lives is shaky. If you missed part 1, PLEASE CLICK HERE
This week, I continue wearing my clinical hat as a Mental Health Expert and share with you the part 2 (2 of 3 part series) I promised the last week. This few minutes of your life could change things for you. A reader who reached out to me after reading this article on linked in reminded me of the importance of education in understanding and gaining more awareness: “It is still amazing to me what a negative stigma that mental illness has in our country. My Mom was diagnosed with Bi-polar disease when she was 40 y/o and I was in the 8th grade. It was a very confusing time because no one knew anything about it nor wanted to really talk about it. Research and education are key to not letting it get “swept under the rug” so thank you for taking the time to address it with your audience” – SH.

Are you tired, frustrated, stuck, overwhelmed, and discontent with the way things are going in your life? Do you have a dream you’d like to see soar; yet everything you’ve tried to do has led the opposite way?
THIS IS A MUST READ FOR THOSE READY TO MOVE BEYOND THEIR PAIN AND AGONYAND ARE READY TO FACE LIFE SQUARELY FOR ANSWERS WHICH WILL THRUST THEM FULL THROTTLE INTO THEIR PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE.
“It is time to clean your closet”—Princess Fumi Hancock
I start with my own confession – I had no clue what a dream maker and a dream breaker meant in the beginning of my journey to becoming a writer, filmmaker, dream weaver and an entrepreneur. So, I did what everyone would most likely do invite ALL into my space and expect them to respond to my call. And when some reacted in an unexpected manner, when they did not understand the passion I had and the love I had for writing, when I needed them to help push my passion forward and be cheerleaders and they acted the opposite way, I was perturbed, and incredibly disappointed! Rather than move forward with my passion, I was stuck trying to pull the Dream breakers into my circle of influence. After all, they were my sisters they were my brothers they were colleagues I had known for decades how could they now be my Dream Breakers?
A lesson learned through it all was to quickly identify the Dream Makers versus the Dream Breakers in my life. This turned my life and my prospects around instantly! I know it will do the same for you, if you are willing to have an open mind and a receiving heart.
Here is the deal, some of you are probably stuck in a rut right now, because you are determined to place the same familiar faces into your circle of influence. You are in denial or perhaps ignorant in recognizing your dream makers versus your dream breakers. Because this is someone you love dearly, does not automatically make them your dream maker.
If you want to move to the next level; if you are tired, frustrated, disappointed, overwhelmed and discontent with where you are; if you want to figure out how to move from your state of complacency to where you want or ought to be It is time to clean your closet! And I am not talking about a literal closet, though some of us may need that too.
As we move into a new year, we are constantly figuring out ways to start a new chapter. We know we have probably messed up but thankfully, THERE IS HOPE. So before you begin setting those goals, and before you mistakenly and abruptly hand over those goals to your dream breaker; here are 3 great tips that will help you identify the dream breakers and the dream makers in your life.And once you figure them out, make an intentional effort to consistently reach out to your dream makers more often and then bid your dream breakers good-bye, no matter how painful it may be.
DREAM MAKERSversus DREAM BREAKERS: The Battle of a lifetime for Your Destiny!
(1) Dream Makers cheer you on regardless of your inadequacies whereas your Dream Breakers will always find something wrong in the way you do things. When you are constantly being put down and a certain person is constantly dragging your ideas through the mud; that is a clue that you are in the wrong circle.
While dream makers will not suck up to you, they are gentle like a breeze by the ocean, compassionate, and understanding. They provide constructive advice with examples you can follow without tearing you down. Dream breakers often, because of their own inadequacies and secret jealousy of you, will have difficulty finding anything good in what you do. When you consistently hang out with people who do not think twice about cutting your efforts down in guise of “loving you enough to let you know your ideas suck”; in time, you too will begin to believe that you are not valuable or your ideas are insignificant.
SOLUTION: It’s time to shift gears and move forward! It’s time to clean your closet and be rid of the “toxic” people. The season for the friendship is over. Understand that, Accept it and Move on to the bigger and better things. Remember that the great things about to happen in your life will not come in as there is toxic waste still occupying that space. The minute you free that space, watch how things will begin to fall in place.
