Passion is the GREATEST Obsessio

All of your experiences, whether learned or modeled, are the ingredients that were purely given to you for the creation and development of not only your person but also to live out your greatest passions. Every step that you take is a trial and perhaps there will be error. This error should never be misconstrued as a fail towards your original purpose, but a way to re-evaluate the idea or situation to improve or perhaps even simplify the process. Better constructing your foundation and having that experience to build stronger with every step and level along the way.

Take your experiences as a greater practice each and everyday. Those moments where you feel defeated, lost, or uncertain, make sure they are not emotions towards what you cannot control. In this circumstance, the best for you is simply reflecting on what you can control and taking the necessary steps towards the direction in which you were headed in the first place. THe important thing is not to let unfiltered blocks keep you from going. You can’t control the acts of others, the unruly factors of life that get thrown in from time to time, but what you can control is your perception and reaction. In fact, the unrully factors that you may perceive as such, may not be anything more than a rightful answer. You can always change the unexpected by simply controlling you. All of any potential factor otherwise cannot control you. Always remember that. With each decision, thought, or step that you make, is a different outcome. Embrace what is given even when you do not ask for it. Sometimes these are gifts that life gives you. Simply accept and be thankful.

Failure is only a perception. It is a senseless feeling and block towards everything that you are and all of your potential. ELiminate these senseless factors, clean up the path in which you walk, and most importantly clean out your negative inbox which may be overfull in you having the capability in receiving the positive.

Evolve by experimenting and take note of all of your trials, successes, and errors. This is you perfecting your craft everytime. Pivoting your ideas is how you grow. THere is no such thing as failure, it is a falsified feeling of the lack of self fulfillment. An abstract way of defining something that you are not necessarily capabable of grasping. Don’t lose sense of your original self because one aspect didn’t turn out as you invisioned. Pivoting is learning what works, what may not be right for you and is the blessing to show you this throughout your journey, no matter what life options you. Afterall, each choice you make provides different passageways to a different path. This is why it is important to stay true to your originality. No need to change your focus everytime something doesn’t work, but let your passions become your greatest obsession. Always keeping your focus and originality while improving and growing. Be thankful for the blessed mishaps, for they are not there to fail you, but propel you.

I have come to very honest terms with myself in the many and continuous moments of my personal growth and journey. Those moments I was frustrated and too stubborn to stop forcing a square into a circle, and that energy blocking my clarity and truth that I was not even working wih a suare in the first place. It was that block that took over the truth of the matter. Once I was able to step out of the space and re- evaluate the place that I was in, I was able to instantly see how it was not the right direction of where I was actually trying to go. However, with these experiences down a wrong turn, I learned of new paths and understood where they could lead me. Leading me to clearer decisions and being familiar with something new that I  would be able to instantly recognize in my future as a either a tool, or a flag. Always be thankful for each one. Don’t resist what is presented in front of you. Don’t try to change something into what isn’t and can never be. Just take it for truth and make the best decision to take the tools you need to keep going. Whether a tool or a flag, they are both useful. They both are helpful in giving you two different paths, two different choices. Be honest, stay original, and stay clear in the choice that is ultimately yours. Never change your original answer, but adapt in the growth in which your education will bring you. Think about all of the times that you said to yourself “I wish I had someone to tell me this”… Well you always did. Instead of looking for a false confirmation based on you trying to remold your circumstances. Listen to the truth that is within you and the tools that that truth is attracting to present to you. Only developing your true and best self. You are your only source towards your full being. Nothing else can speak for you or see you as your whole self. You are your solution. Tou are your being. You are your greatest obsession. Never lose yourself, but continue to evolve to be your best self. You are not the problem, but your best solution. Live and share passionately!

3 is not a company, but 4 is more the merrier!

The holidays can be the most merry of times for some, where others can be left very lonely and only reminded of this during the season. As we are flow with the rush of the holiday festivities, checking our lists once and checking them twice, perhaps we can take a third look and make sure none are forgotten.

Lets take this moment of opportunity to reach out to those friends and family members we haven’t seen in a while. You know, the one’s we keep thinking to ourselves to finally make that phone call and reach out to. Throughout the course of our year, we all experience a little turbulence from time to time. This is the nature of the ride of life. It is easy to get lost and distracted in our routines, especially when our days add on a little more than anticipated. The truth is, triumph over tragedy doesn’t always come for most. Hardships and heartache may be the order some may receive and it makes it even harder during the times where one should be most merry and bright.

As we are in the season of gift of giving, the best present one could be most grateful to receive is simply your presence. Step back in moments of silence of others only so that you can attentively step forward with your best regards. Be mindful to each of whom  seemingly reach out to you. The attitude of the holidays is more the merrier. Though this idea should be more of a consideration towards a bigger part of our being, lifestyle and carried through as a best practice of each of our days. 3 is never a crowd, four is more, it takes one to start a flame but it takes a village to keep the flame ignited, otherwise it will quickly extinguish. Let us unite to keep the fire lit and may it be the light for all. Go forward with open arms and  smiles wide. Sharing love and making spirits bright. It is easy to remember those who are near, but let us not forget those that are far. As we engage by the attraction of the gathering crowd, let us also magnetically invite those who are without sound.

The best gifts that we can give in this life to another are not those we can wrap, unless they are first with your open arms. May everyone receive a beautiful and bright day today and always! Much love and Happy holidays!

The Greatest Gift of All

The Best Gift that you can give yourself and others is love. Where many have been and perhaps may continue to be in that rush and worry about fulfilling the many wishes of others this season, remember to take a moment to understand and nurture yours as well. There is something that will never run out on the shelves in the store, go over your budget and can guarantee originality and no two will ever be alike- LOVE.

Give this a bit more to yourself while you are remembering those around you. This is the beauty that comes from a giving and selfless being. However, your heart and mind needs the same amount of nurturing as well. The truth is, most often we are not always reciprocated in the care we give to others. In the midst of it all, we are also putting ourselves second. When we give, it is with the intent of sharing love. Understanding that love can feel like a commodity at times, just keep sharing your spirit and reminding others too this remarkable gift never runs dry. One so true and beautiful to give and receive. If you are looking for the perfect gift that will  leave the biggest and everlasting impression, no need to go anywhere else to search for it. Simply share your biggest self and the priceless gift of all- LOVE. Just keep taking care of you while you are taking care of others!

Happiest of celebrating today and everyday! Lots of love and gifting always!
