A Quick Reminder
We're rounding the end of the second month this year. How many of you made a resolution? Are you still pursuing it? If not, that's ok. I stopped making a New Year’s resolution a long time ago. There's so much pressure for us to just come up with something to better ourselves. But, do we really think about it? I personally think that we should make an effort everyday to better ourselves, in one way or another. Speak a little kinder. Be more positive. Take the stairs when you go to work. Park a little further away at the grocery store. Don't feel bad for not actively pursuing that resolution. There are opportunities every day to make a better choice for yourself.

Give Thanks, That's the Secret
I have learned the ticket through life is gratitude. It's a shame we are not taught how to be grateful in school. Of all the subjects we are shown, I believe being grateful would be the most useful. It is hard to get through life without appreciation. Think of the dependency we have as human beings. From the moment we are formed we need the nutrients from our host, the body of our own mother just to survive. Once we are born, we need love, care, attention, touch, even air to sustain ourselves. But gratitude...that is what we often forget.

Karma: Continued
In my last post, we discussed the what ifs and questions pertaining to Karma. How does it affect us and to what magnitude? Do we accept it as part of fate or do we have more influence than that? I think we do. You know that saying, “Do unto others as you would have them do to you?” What if that’s more than just an old saying. Can we change the blessings we receive? If we make the conscious decision to do good every day and take into consideration the effect, we have on others we in turn are making that same decision for ourselves.

Purpose: We All Have One
When you wake up in the morning, what drives you to get out of bed? Is it just the fact that it’s morning? Or is it because you are not dead yet? Is it because you have things you need to do before the day is over? Or is it because you have things you want to do before the day is over? Whatever it is, you still get out of bed, right? You wouldn’t be reading this if you didn’t get out of bed. And why do—and did—you get out of bed? Think about it. We all have different reasons for getting out of bed. But whatever you get out of bed for, one thing is certain; it’s for a purpose. Every day has a purpose, and everyone has a purpose every day. It may not be a very big one, but it will all lead up to the bigger purpose; your life’s purpose. Everyone has a purpose every day. Everyone has a purpose in life. We’re all born with a heart, right? Within that heart is a passion that burns brighter than anything else. That is a purpose. And a purpose drives you to get out of bed, and a purpose drives you in life. There is nothing more powerful than a human being with a purpose. However, a purpose isn’t for you. It’s for the people who need you.

Reclaiming My Power
1. Self-Care I define self-care as taking the time out of my days to do things for me that aren't mindless. Self-care is intentional preservation of the body and mind. I decided to take care of myself more in the smallest ways, like buying my favorite aromatherapy candle and lighting it when I feel overwhelmed. The larger end of the self-care spectrum for me would be to define speak my true feelings about a situation happening in my life. One example of this is I find myself speaking up for myself more at work when I feel wronged or when I get less than stellar feedback from supervisors.

Does Happiness Exist?
Throughout my whole life I have felt somewhat alone. I thought I was strange and incredibly different from what I assumed was normal. But from the help of social media, I began to feel more included, and as odd as that seems it was true for me and many others I assume. Social media was an escape for me but it brought me more exclusion in the long run. I regret the hours spent endlessly watching videos because I was missing out on real life experiences.

5 Hard Truths About Life That Will Empower You
1. You can't make everyone happy. This is a battle you will never win and no matter how hard you try, there are just some people out there that don’t want to be happy... They are attached to their current state of being and there is nothing you can say or do for them that can change that.

How To Reach Your Goals and Remove Your Blocks
We live in a society that tells us when we want something, we should let nothing and no one stand in our way, to go out and make our dreams come true. What happens when we are the ones standing in our own way? When we are creating our own blocked and slowed progress? The three things that we all face in life are the same three bricks that make up the walls that block the road to success and achievement. Fear, doubt, and resentment are the main causes of our inability to progress and achieve our goals. It is only through self examination that we may begin to remove these blocks in our paths and move ahead towards our reward.

Make Your Disadvantages Your Advantages
We all have disadvantages. They can be anything from upbringing to a dead end job. Anything that may be a disadvantage can be turned to an advantage. The key to turning things around is to use your situation. What I mean by that is learn everyday to see how you ended up in your current position.

Positivity Hour
I bet you're wondering. What is this "positivity hour" you speak of? Well allow me to explain a little bit of how I came up with the idea. Two years ago along my journey, I was going through a lot of problems and living at my older sister's house. It was a hard time for me and I was unable to think clearly. I had no job, money, and with all that going on around me— my vibrations had began to drop. Now, you may think that even though I am a spiritual person that I don't have issues. Lol, think again, I have problems like everyone else living in this universe. I knew that I had to do something to protect my energy and my spiritual health. Throughout my days, I would always catch the angel numbers 11:11.
