You don’t have to be what other people want you to be. You don’t have to be interesting or agreeable or entertaining. You don’t have to tone yourself down, quiet your voice, or hide your feelings. You don’t have to be outgoing or spontaneous or sociable. You don’t have to be thin or beautiful or anyone’s definition of attractive. You don’t have to be anyone other than who you authentically are, and you sure as hell don’t have to spend your time and energy trying to convince people that you’re worth keeping around. The right people are going to recognize your worth. They are going to respect you, appreciate you, and accept you, without forcing you to compromise who you are. Life is too short, and your happiness is far too important, to make room for anyone who treats you otherwise.

Know that God’s plans for your life are bigger than any dream you could ever dream. Know that you are blessed beyond measure. Cheers!

Count your blessings. Gratitude is the fuel of resiliency. Train your mind to think of at least one thing for which you are thankful everyday. It is often easy to overlook the small but significant blessings in your life. Look for positive things outside of yourself, because sometimes you can’t trust your mind.

When you choose to look at the positives instead of focusing on the negatives, you strengthen your courage and your internal capacity to take on life. Look yourself in the eye and realize that you are ultimately responsible for working your way out of any situation. Give up the desire for things to be easy. Deal with the circumstances such as you find them.  Always, remember you are blessed.  Cheers!

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, your passion, and your calling. 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.  Cheers!
