It's Up To Us

Looking at an ocean

makes you realize how small you are.

It helps to put life in perspective.

How big are the problems in your mind?

Are you able to control levels of angst?

Why do you feel angst?

Step back and start small.

Dissect your issue and analyze,

are you really experiencing an issue?

Can you transform it to an opportunity

to learn and grow?

Solutions are always around,

it's up to us to see it.

All That You Are

I can't see You

but I feel You.

You are present

when I am not.

You embrace me

when all I feel is cold.

You speak when I swear 

all I hear is silence 

Why am I so lucky?

Am I the only lucky one?

No...

Your love is profound

and endless.

You mystify 

leaving me to glorify

all that You are.

Course of Your Life

Lessons come 

in all forms and mediums.

Embrace them.

They are meant for you.

Open your mind

as you learn the lesson…

the core of what you're learning,

can change the course of your life.

You

It's rewarding to not give up.

Life is a roller coaster,

with many highs and lows.

The lows can feel like 

you've lost your breath….

but remember, you haven't.

You are here,

you can choose,

you can change...

you are the master of your destiny.

Endless

There are endless possibilities.

There are endless opportunities.

There is endless love.

It's a matter of how you choose to think.

You Are Trying

Failure is part of the process.

Don't expect everything to run smoothly

while achieving your goal.

Through failure you learn,

you grow, you have more ideas…

And not just any idea,

rather a more concise focused one.

Failure isn't a reason to throw in the towel,

on the contrary,

it's proof you are trying.

Can and Will Change

There are days,

that it all feels grey.

But it doesn't have to be.

Your mind is very powerful.

Perspective is conceived 

by your conscious and unconscious mind.

Take the time to see the unconscious.

Change what you don't like.

It takes time,

but it can and will change.

Feel Grateful

Beauty is all around…

open your eyes to see it.

Take a moment today,

to really breathe.

How lucky are you 

to be here today…

how lucky are you 

to know what love is.

Relish in the moment,

and feel grateful.

You

Today is a gift.

You're here for a purpose.

Don't let purpose overwhelm you.

Your purpose is to simply being you.

Be true to yourself,

and don't try to be

something you are not.

You is enough…

You are special. 

It's Priceless

TIme.

Do you see it?

Do you feel it?

Do you know it?

How could we possibly know

what any of it means?

It's a blessing

to be here right now.

If you're reading this,

you are lucky…

not to be reading this entry,

rather, you're simply reading.

Life can be so simple

yet we complicate it.

Why?

Time…

Understand it's priceless.

Let Go and Let Love

Let go of frustrations,

fear,

stress,

anxiety.

It will take you no where.

Acknowledge it,

and change it…

let it inspire you

to a better day.

Let go and let love.

Love

Love.

Listen.

Love.

Forgive.

Love.

Grow.

Love.

Grateful

It's been two years

since I began this blog.

I didn't know what it was

or why it was…

I only felt the desire to write.

Since my stroke,

my perspective has totally changed.

I feel my life was saved,

and I owe a lot to life.

I'm grateful to write…

I'm grateful to breathe…

I'm for the love I feel...

I'm just grateful.

Appreciate it All

The past is gone.

Today is a new day.

I will focus on the now…

my mind can no longer engage

in what could have been or why.

There is so much to look forward to,

but I must have the mental space 

to appreciate it all.

Food for Thought

Let Go.

Patience.

Laugh.

Tolerance.

Live.

Forgiveness.

Love.

Think of one today.

Focus

Love what you do.

Work harder than you need to.

Let your passion thrive.

Focus.

Focus.

Focus.

Your goal will happen.

Keep

Things happen,

and they are unfair.

But such is life.

Keep your head up.

Keep moving forward.

Keep calm.

It's all you can do.

Time WIll Reveal

The question must be asked…

why?

If you can't answer it,

don't get stuck.

Let it exist in your mind,

but keep moving forward.

Time will reveal your answer.

All In The Mind

It's all in the mind.

Potential.

Unlikely.

Joy.

Sadness.

Love.

Hate.

You choose

what drives you…

what you want to feel.

Don't give into negativity -

it exists... 
but you don't have to entertain it.

Aware

Your consciousness 

is innately aware of it's surroundings….

are you aware of your consciousness?

Let it steer you from dramas, 

self-inflicted pains and suffering.

It's ready for you to hear it…

are you listening?

All In My Head

When is enough enough?

I want change

so I must change.

My thoughts must be complete

with action…

otherwise it's all in my head.

You

It doesn't matter how old you are,

never let go of your passion.

It will lead you, guide you, inspire you.

But you must bring it to existence…

your breath fuels it with life.

Choose to breathe with possibility,

imagination, inovation, uniqueness.

No one else is like you…

do you know how special that is?

Quite Amazing

Don't give up.

Even if you feel like you should.

Things take time…

your intention is very important.

Keep it focused and honest.

Despite difficulties,

the journey is quite amazing.

4L's

Keep it simple.

Let go.

Laugh.

Live.

Love.

I See It

What's going to happen tomorrow,

next week, next month, next year?

There are many goals I'd like to accomplish….

but I will not do them

if worrying about the future is part of my plan.

The future will come with or without my my fear…

so why fear?

It's better to keep a clear mind and heart

appreciating the moments, the now.

Life is precious…

I see it, I believe it, and I will live it.

Evolve

Listen.

Understand.

Accept.

Love.

Forgive.

Grow.

Evolve.

Are you Listening?

Old memories, routines, and habits

can sometimes show up unexpectedly.

So what should one do when it's there?

Observe it.

Don't give into insecurities, fears or doubts….

that voice of caution maybe a decoy.

Your intuition sees a way...

the captain of your journey is speaking - 

but are you listening?

Now

All you have is now.

Not yesterday, not tomorrow.

Now.

Make the best of it.

Appreciate it.

Embrace every moment in it.

Mind and Heart

Life happens in stages.

There are highs,

there are lows,

there are moments

where you forget

hope exists.

But it does…

nothing is stagnant.

Things change,

and it can all start

in your mind and heart.

Ego

What is driving your actions?

Honesty, drive, perseverance,

commitment...ego?

It can be confusing

to decipher the emotions.

But it's important to check yourself…

make sure what you choose to say,

and choose to do,

comes from an authentic place….

a place untouched by the ego.

Be True

When all else fails,

remember you are loved.

Remember you love,

and remember,

things take time.

Don't stress it,

don't lose yourself to it…

Be true to yourself,

be true to your journey.

Sacred Place

Listen to your heart.

There, you will hear the voice

of your intuition.

This voice is calm,

peaceful, kind and soft.

Let it guide you,

and encourage you to not fear.

Love your decisions,

because they came

from this sacred place.

Only See Good

Smile.

Love,

Laugh.

Dream.

Imagine.

Today,

choose to only see

and only do good.

Before You Know It

You can never give up.

There are some situations

that don't go as planned…

But truth be told,

do you ever really know the plan?

Stay focussed.

Continue to believe.

A mixture of your perseverance

and the right time

will unfold before you know it.

Happy Birthday / Feliz Cumpleaños

Today is my birthday.

I've learned many lessons

in my 33 years of life.

I'm grateful to my family,

friends, my other half 

and my baby Millie.

Life has been interesting…

I feel blessed and lucky,

and look forward 

to the years to come.

Hoy es mi cumpleaños.

He aprendido bastantes lecciones

en mi 33 años de vida.

Estoy agradecida a mi familia,

mis amigos, mi compañero,

y mi bebe Millie.

La vida ha sido interesante…

Me siento bendecida y afortunada,

y tengo mucha esperanza

para los anos venideros.

You Can Decide

What are you waiting for?

Time is not guaranteed.

Make the most of your situation

while you're holding on to it.

If things aren't working out,

work it out so you can move on.

Don't get stuck…

The illusion of feeling safe

can handicap you.

It's scary...

but is the alternative 

to walk with your eyes closed

an option for you?

Only you can decide.

4 L's

Vision gives your focus.

Love keeps you inspired.

Imagination opens the door

to all your dreams.

Let go of fear…

choose to laugh along the way.

Live a life that will bring you joy.

Slow it Down

Pause and reflect.

Take a breath,

before you act.

Take time

to understand

what you're thinking.

As life moves so fast,

recognize your ability

to slow it down.

Past and Present

Be patient with yourself.

Be kind to your heart -

Be compassionate to your journey…

it all happened for a reason.

Today be grateful

to the past and present.

And not only your past and present,

but also to those who helped you

become who you are today.

Who Else WIll?

A good way to clear your head,

is to work out a little…

Going for a walk, run,

any form of cardio exercise

will bring on a level of clarity.

Days are stressful,

there doesn't seem to be

enough hours in the day…

but if you don't take the time

for yourself - 

who else will?

OR

I don't care how positive you are,

fear shows up and wants your attention.

But what you do with fear,

is what makes the difference.

Do you give in, lose hope, and give up?

OR

Do you hang on, change perspective,

maybe gain an edge from fear?

Fear is an emotion that can be transformed

into something good by your mind.

Don' let it cripple you.

Use it to make you wiser, stronger…

use it to gain a deeper conviction.

You are exactly where your mind

will let you be.
