What does it feel like to be facing a new road with only dreams, desires, and visions ahead?
My life is not all glitter and rainbows, but my today is better than my yesterday and I can only bring a vision to my tomorrow in how I want that to look, I will believe in myself, my goals and my visions and you can start today as well.
As a person who traveled down a confusing road and now reaching the fork of the road once again! I am facing a new road, that I have no idea what’s in my future, only desires and visions. It’s not as scary now that I have my values, my beliefs and my own power and the knowledge that my goal is to only be better than I was yesterday and that’s all I feel I need.
On this trip my values will be my compass, my beliefs will be my universal energy and my power will be my light. This is truly all I need to be my true self, my authentic self and to live my purpose and to reach my destiny. Sounds easy, right!
Let’s work on some inner beauty quotes and help us out with this…
You don’t need to be competing with others, comparing yourself to another person will make you miserable and you will end in the same place as you are now, comparison will only rob you of your happiness. I recently watched a movie on Netflix called “when we first met” and the message on the end was perfect. You can travel back in time and make changes, but the end results will be the same.
Remember this quote and make this your goal!
“The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday”

For many years I played if safe! I would be dictated who to be, what to say, and many time what to wear because I hated conflict and I was afraid of hurting people, and I wanted people to like me but it backfired a few times on me when I exploded, said the wrong choice of words or spoke my truth and I was easily convinced that it was wrong or made to feel that I didn’t know what I was talking about, misunderstood many times. As time went on I became bitter and I didn’t recognize who I was becoming and then I hurt people. Later learning that hurt people do hurt people and never ever would this be my intention in my value system. To this day, I am a very honest person and my intention is still never to hurt people, but sometimes it may happen and then I practice forgiveness. I had to do lots of forgiveness in 2015-16, more to come at a later date.
“If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive”
-Mother Theresa
Gratitude is a beautiful practice that I believe we all should take seriously. It’s so simple but so hard for many, we just need to learn to say thank you for each miracle of the day. But how do we say thank you for a flat tire, a coffee spill over our new clothes? I promise the more you share gratitude for the little miracles the easier the obstacles and you will realize that maybe the flat tire saved your life, slowed you down or shifted your day in a new direction. Just be grateful that you have a car, a spare tire and a person to vent to because many people don’t have this.
As Helen Keller quoted, “Be happy with what you have while working for what you want”
Unfortunately, as many times as gratitude is taught many people don’t believe in it and they refuse to be grateful. They may believe they are grateful but not for the small things, the beautiful miracles that happen all day long, they can only see what they are not ready to receive, and I believe until they practice gratitude they will always have obstacles in their path.
Be kind, my goodness, how many people are so jealous, envious, and nasty. I don’t understand it because I love celebrating another person’s achievements. I celebrate others all the time! I get nastier to a person if they are wasting their potential and then that makes me nasty because I must tell them, and they are not ready to hear it and we have conflict.
Many times, I express my emotions when I become proud of something I achieve but not always do I receive what I’m expecting and never am I ready for the response, it’s always half heartily given to me and I’m left with questions and the gremlin sitting on my shoulder being happy. I have been fighting with this my whole life but when you expect it, it becomes a game and you become in touch with your power within and it’s a beautiful feeling.
Another unknown quote, “Be the person that makes others feel special…be known for your kindness and grace.
And always remember…
“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about”

For many years I had it all together on the outside world, but I was dying on the inside and every day I’m grateful that I was given the chance to figure out how to control my allergies and not have my allergies control me, isn’t that a gift. I could have been trying to figure out how to live in so many other ways but instead, I was given a chance to figure out inner beauty and how to remove stagnant energy out of my body from those limited beliefs, unkind words that were never the truth.
I strive to help others realize that they are strong and that they have the power within themselves and all that they need are their values, beliefs, and confidence and those are within you.
Always remember your power is your light, your values are your compass, and your beliefs are universal energy and if you are grateful for all the small things and recognize the little miracles you will be guided to your dreams, desires, and aspirations.
