Never Lacking

 You will get the life you want to live if you believe you will. Sounds easy until something goes wrong and you feel like you’re lacking. When we allow ourselves to feel like we’re lacking we begin to worry, and when we worry we are doubting ourselves. Self doubt is the exact opposite of self trust and without self trust there is no way to manifest the life we want. When we trust ourselves we attract everything we need to become our versions of successful. Regardless of the things that happen along your road to success, success is still waiting for you no matter what path you take, worry is like a stop sign on your path, ignore it and keep going. 

Food For Thought

 Our thoughts are food for our minds, the saying “you are what you eat” is a direct correlation to how we think, “what we think is what we are”. It is very important to pay attention to our thought process, a lot of the times we allow our thoughts to run rampant because we know no one else is listening, but in reality YOU are listening. Soon enough you’ll start believing and manifesting your thoughts if they keep repeating themselves whether good or bad. Instead take control of your mind and think of the things you want out of life constantly and allow them to penetrate your mind so they can manifest into your reality. 

Unclaimed Baggage

Some things that we go through in life stick with us for our greater good or vice versa. We might learn some things along the way that help us grow or we might fall victim to the things that hinder us or cause trauma which in turn becomes our baggage. If we go through life carrying baggage, it will weigh us down without us knowing, but sooner or later the baggage becomes heavier than we can bear and we either have to face it head on or try our best to bury it deep within. We should actively be shredding our baggage throughout life, but that requires us to be in a state uncomfortable vulnerability. It doesn’t matter how strong you get by carrying the extra baggage around, it will always hold you down. Letting go of our extra cargo creates room for our blessings and creates space for the things that we need to be holding onto throughout life to help us grow. To get to where you want to get in life it requires a light heart, a sound mind, and a full soul, and if these things are crowded with baggage, the journey will be longer, harder and less worth it in the end.

Embracing My Flaws

 Nobody on this earth is perfect, everyone has their own flaws and imperfections they deal with, but what separates the two is that some people embrace their flaws and others turn them into insecurities. When we look at our flaws in a negative light, we tend to hide them so others don’t notice them because we are ashamed. On the other hand, when we embrace our flaws and understand them fully, we accept them for what they are and can utilize our time to work on them instead of turning them into insecurities. If your let them, your flaws will become your weakness and hiding them will become your main goal in life. Instead embrace your flaws so that you can work on them in a manner that benefits you.

Be Foreal

I think it’s safe to say that we’ve all had expectations for ourselves when we were younger, for example; when I turn “this age” I will have “achieved this”, until we get to there and realize our expectation were unrealistic. You can’t blame your younger self for thinking so far out the box, but you’re much wiser now and can set realistic expectations/goals for yourself to achieve. When we set goals and meet them something clicks in our brain, momentum starts to kick in and more realistic goals start flowing easily. Meeting your expectations is like a catalyst for your mindset to become stronger and positive about where you are in life. There’s nothing wrong with not living up to what you expected to be “right now”, but you have the ability to change your future. 

Battle Field

You will always win in life if you are willing to fight the right battles, if you believe that the battle is not worth the fight save your energy for the next battle that arises. I view life as a constant battle field that we are moving through, we go through our battles with self identity, success in all realms and our fear of failure or not being “good enough”. However, sometimes we fight battles that aren’t meant for us,  a lot of the burdens we take on are due to how others may perceive us. We do not have to take on others perception of ourselves because it’s not our own, what matters in life is how WE view ourselves. Personal growth comes from the person not the people around them. You will always prevail in life when you learn to save your energy to only fight the battles that are meant for you. 

Embrace Your Difference

In order for us to heal and understand why we behave and react the way we do, we have to first understand that nothing about who we are is “Normal”. According to the dictionary normal means; conforming to a standard; usual, typical or expected. We have to stray away from the mindset of wanting to be “normal” or expect “normal” because it doesn’t exist. We are all different with different life experiences and different coping mechanisms to get us through those life experiences whether good or bad, but that’s what makes us unique. When we take the time to come together to share our stories and share our ways of thinking we are able to open a vulnerable side of ourselves that will allow us to truly think, reflect on our behaviors and understand that no one on this planet fits into a perfect standard. It will also allow us to recognize that some of our behaviors are unhealthy and that we mask them as “normal” just to cover up for past trauma that we haven’t dealt with. “Normal” in itself is unhealthy for us as people, you are not usual, typical or standard, you are an ever changing being that will never conform or fit into a perfect mold, embrace it.
