We go about the day with our plans and desires. We may even think we have control over how things play out in our day, and sometimes we are correct. But life does not let us read the script and sometimes we don't like the part. Sometimes we are surprised what the day brings. We can't always avoid pain. Pain is a part of a real life with all the elements of what the days hold. When we want to escape, sometimes it is a call to band together and hold those we love closely. Drawing near is often a healing action in times of pain. How thankful we must be to have others who let us come near and who are not afraid of the pain we have, and they will receive us.

Be strong enough to let go and wise enough to wait for what you deserve. Sometimes you have to get knocked down lower than you have ever been to stand up taller than you ever were before. Sometimes your eyes need to be washed by your tears so you can see the possibilities in front of you with a clearer vision again. Don’t settle.

THANK YOU!!!

I think these are just what I needed. :)

When it comes to your life, don’t be a Monday morning quarterback. You simply don’t have the capacity or the vantage point to evaluate what has already happened. Certainly learn what you can from past efforts and mistakes and then let them go. Save all that awesome energy for moving forward.

THANK YOU!!!

☺ Glad it helps..

No matter what - never stop trying. Do not give up. Push through the pain. Know that you can do it. Believe in better. Work harder through the hard times. Enjoy every minute of the good times. Inspire other people. Emulate the best. Forget the worst. Love more. Hate less. Inspire yourself. Let yourself be inspired by others.

As difficult as it may be to believe, where you are right now is the absolute perfect kicking off point for where you want to go. Take one small step in that direction and you will have the “begin” behind you. And wouldn’t that be a great way to start your day?!

People with negative or positive energy have a force field that impacts everyone around them. You do too. Deciding what force field to share with others and which force field to spend time with is a life altering choice we each need to make. Rest well and choose wisely.

Sometimes life sucks. Sometimes life gets so hard that you don’t want to get out of bed in the morning. Sometimes life is so stressful. But most of the time life is beautiful. Sometimes life is so awesome that all you want to do is smile. Sometimes you just have to stay positive, and push through the hard times. Why? Because life is worth it. The good times are worth it. You are worth it.

Are you holding on to a part of your life that has long expired?

Each season in life comes with an expiration date, so life is about releasing and surrendering. Give yourself permission to let go...of past regrets, failures or mistakes; unresolved pain and disappointments; or actions that you should of, would have, or could have taken ~ but you didn't. Choose to give in and surrender ~ to your dream, to your passion, and to your calling.

Marion White said..."In life when you don't have enough courage and insight to know that you have outgrown a situation, and it's time to move on...life will move on you." Let go...or be dragged.

It's your choice.

When we are Grounded we live as emotionally and mentally stable individuals who have a certain trust and honor for life. We become admirably sensible and realistic about ourselves, life, relationships and growth. Our cells glow with positive resonance and we have a trust in life because we can trust our Self. We are more oriented to the now and not so consumed with future worry as we know the Now contains the seeds for all future endeavors.

When you come to like the person you see in the mirror, you'll come to find that often others now like the person being seen too. If you can't love yourself, how the heck you gonna love somebody else.

You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again. And a smile doesn’t always mean a person is happy. Sometimes it simply means they are strong enough to face their problems.

When dealing with hurt, confusion and uncertainty you have to learn to hold onto yourself through the struggle. Time is the only thing which brings clarity to confusion. The more you mess with the confusion the more confused and upset you get. Breathe. Take a time out. Nothing needs to be solved today. It can wait. Stress just produces more stress. It is hard to be patient when you are feeling off balance and out of sorts, and solutions may seem out of reach or to not exist at all. There are always solutions, you just can't push the river. Stay connected to yourself and take your focus off of what is stressing you and redirect your thoughts to what you can control and focus on your own healing and what you need to do for yourself. Everything happens for a reason. When you are feeling scared, hurt or uncertain be patient and have faith. Pray a lot, read, write in a journal, seek help, talk with friends, exercise, eat healthy and work hard. Just because there is a lack of clarity in your life doesn't mean you have to have a lack of life. There is plenty of you to go around as you take a step back from the areas in flux. Love yourself.

We must resolve to not turn back when it gets too hard, at least not every time. Many times we have reasons to believe this is the time to go through, to go over, or to work in, the place we are. We may turn back because we don't want the pain or the work, we just want deliverance or an escape. We will not find what we need for our journey, if we think turning back is our best choice every time. We are made better and more fit from the bridge we will be asked to cross, now, for the next time we come to one that begs our crossing. We cannot get over the next bridge, well, if we won't cross over the one we are already standing on.
