Divinity

 In order to be guided by your divinity, you have to be able to trust yourself, in order to trust yourself, you must take the time to get to know yourself. The same amount of effort that we put into getting to know the people around us or the people we’d consider dating, is the same amount effort we should be using to get to know ourselves. We as people can be so consumed with everything that’s going on around us and in our every days lives, that we forget to pay attention to ourselves. We often get stuck in the routines and patterns that life eventually pushes us into and forget that we still have to live for ourselves and our destinies. I just want to remind you that your divinity lies within you and your destiny lies within the path you take to get to know yourself. Once you do, the people and the opportunities that are for you will evidently show up in your life. Don’t get stuck in these robotic routines that life forces us into, we all have our own inner divinity and destinies, get to know who you are so you don’t get stuck fulfilling someone else’s destiny. 

Happiness

 Forcing yourself on someone or something will never be the answer to your own happiness. You have to be content and happy with who you are first in order to understand what real happiness feels like for you. Often times we try to find happiness in the people around us or the things we do that keep us side-tracked, but it’s imperative that we take a step back and ask ourselves, “Am I really happy? Or do I allow myself to be distracted with people and things?”. It’s important to remember that pure happiness comes from within, once you understand this, your happiness and your joy can never be taken from you, nor will you have to force your happiness or look for it in others. With that being said, are you happy or just distracted? 

The Art of Healing

When you are in the process of healing, no matter what form of healing, it is important for you to take time to yourself. During the healing process is where your lesson lies, if you miss your lesson whatever you went through would have taught you nothing. The majority of the time the lessons we face are keys that open up future doors for us, the lesson of today will be the key for tomorrow's success, but if we never take the time to heal so that we can actually learn the lesson, the doors that we want open, either won’t open at all or they’ll only open for a small period of time. In order for us to have continued success we must continuously do the work and simultaneously work on ourselves as we develop. Our bodies have already adapted to healing, if you cut yourself your body will automatically heal itself, but our minds are not set up that way, we have to initiate the healing process ourselves, if we don’t the wound will spread to other areas of our lives and begin to take over. No one can teach you how to heal, it's a process that is unique for each and every individual, but it's also a process that you have to unlock while you take time to yourself. It's never too late to heal from past traumas or circumstances that you have faced, but now that you are aware of the art of healing, never put it off for anything else because your blessings lie on the other side of healing.

You are everything

As long as you’re working with time, time will never work against you. When you start to look at life this way you’ll become less questionable of why some things don’t work out and why some things do. As long as you’re progressing and constantly learning from the lessons of your past you’ll never fail in life, instead you’ll be preparing for your destiny. The failures and the many other outcomes you may face throughout life are preparing you for something that is and will always be meant for you. The only thing that can ever stop you from receiving what’s meant for you is you. In this case you have to trust yourself enough to know that you will be able to continuously do the work and that you’ll never give up yourself. After all you are your greatest asset, the more you believe in yourself the more you’ll start to see that failure was never in the plans for you, but was preparation in disguise. 

THE INDIVIDUAL

Everyone’s path isn’t the same, so don’t look for the “answers” in others, but look for guidance and reasoning from those whom you trust. Don’t be influenced, but be inspired by others. Too often we see others “succeeding” or  “happy” and we make ourselves believe that that success or that happiness is ideal, when 10 times out of 10 they took a different path than you did. Somewhere along the line we forgot about the “individual” and become more in-tune with the “influencer” and it seems as though we are straying further and further away from the individual. I just want to remind you that there is creativity, originality, and most importantly boundless wisdom in your own path, please don’t forget that your steps are supposed to be different for a reason. No one person is like you, you are unique for a reason, embrace your individuality. 

LOST & FOUND

I found love in the midst of finding myself. 

I found happiness in the midst of gaining mental wealth. The kind of wealth that last through generations, the kind that doesn’t fold nor is imitation. 

The kind that I’ll be able to pass onto my kids without limitations. 

I found stableness in the midst of moving around, I realized that what holds me up isn’t the ground, but the sureness in myself that I have found. 

It’s the thoughts that run through my head, it’s also the words by others that are left unsaid. 

I found that what I think of myself is what’s the most important and the genuine connections I’ve made without forcing it. It’s the loved ones that I keep around, the ones that see no other choice but to hold me down.

In the midst of finding myself, I found love. The love that I always needed, love that was so strong that it was there for me all along. 

I just had to find myself so that I could see, that LOVE had always been apart of my destiny. 

LIFE AFTER SELF

The road to self discovery, self acceptance and self love is very lonely, so lonely that you may begin to get used to the feeling of being alone. One may begin to feel comfort in being alone which is why I believe that this is one of the hardest phases to get out of after discovering yourself, it’s hard to get back into the groove of allowing other people and things into your life. At the same time, it is important that you do allow people and things back into your life after you’ve discovered who you are because 9 times out of 10 they are meant for you, they are either your blessings after your long road of self discovery or your testaments to know that you’ve truly discovered who you are. Either way it goes, it is pivotal that you allow and accept love, help and compassion from others after taking time to yourself instead of being closed off and stuck in “self mode”. It is okay to be open, it is okay to allow others to love you, and it is okay to allow others to get to know you. You never know what your impact is on someone else’s life, sometimes you may be their inspiration or motivation to discover themselves, if you stay closed off you’ll only defeat the purpose of self discovery. Share your knowledge, share your truths and share your self love so that others may be able learn from you and discover themselves too.
