Upon reaching my 27th birthday! Somewhere between a long conversation, great wine, and sex and the city reruns I am thinking my life is pretty amazing. God only knows how terrible my last two birthdays were. Spent being unhappy with either myself or my life and not knowing how to do anything about it.
How do you get from point A to point B? GOALS
So I find help it letting my thoughts out.. Goal #1 put the positive in before the negative.
*1st.. What you put into your body really does matter..and not just food, information. Stop reading junk! Stop eating Junk! I find that my day runs so much smoother when some proper nutrition and positive inspiration.
*If you can't control it .. Let it go
*If it really makes you feel good (and it's not deadly or illegal)..do it, and who cares what other people opinions are.
I am sure to some of you whom have known me forever probably think I have drank the wacky kool-aid and lost my marbles. I still struggle with the negative lil demon floating in the sea of great things happening in my life trying to poke a hole in the life raft! But without struggle there wouldn't be perseverance. I have found comfort in the power of prayer. Instead of saying Lord why me when I get knocked down, I have become to look at it as look at all the times I have fallen flat on my face and yet I am still here, I am still moving forward. Sometimes things fall apart so that we can learn to find better.
I had a recent epiphany about my career. I breath weddings I cry every time I watch one of those goofy shows, I can see a swatch of color and get inspired on a whole event yet I have lost all passion or want for my job. I first though oh you just burned yourself out. You spend every weekend from March till October working your rear off and you needed this year off. Well it's been a year and my passion hasn't come back. Then I realized. In my bio I myself wrote "I had so many regrets about my own wedding I want to help others to not feel that way"- This is where the light bulb comes on.. I no longer feel the need to fill some void in my life. I didn't loose my passion I just filled that void with a fabulous blessed life. I don't need to act out dreams in other peoples realities because my own reality finally became something worth living in! I LOVE helping people. I miss my sorority for that. Yet I found another way to accomplish that. I LOVE helping people get healthy and feel good about themselves. It's something I didn't feel about myself for a long time so I know what a downer it can be. With Visalus I get to do that. I work for a company that gives back 10 fold! It's not even about the money, I'm not gonna lie a paycheck every Monday doesn't hurt but when you hear people talk about life changing experiences it warms your heart to the core!
Enough about that! So onto Resolution#1 (because I have so many goals for the next year that one post wouldn't be enough!) Be positive at all cost, because even that bad things can open your heart to meaningful experiences. Find joy in every terrible-rotten-hateful thing someone says to you or about you and if you can't well.. PRAY for them or for you to find the strength to get past it and most of all LOVE because there isn't a single thing that someone can do that should make you stop loving them.
LOVE SHOULD BE GIVEN FREELY-RESPECT SHOULD BE EARNED STOP CONFUSING THE TWO!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
