Living For Me.

When I think about all the areas in life that keep me grounded… keep me creative… keep me true to myself, I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude. It’s really quite paradoxical how hard it is to just be you. To not allow external factors and circumstances to drift you off into another current that completely gets you off YOUR wavelength.

Entering into 2018, I realized that I’m freaking MAGICAL! Without any enhancements, supplements, or revisions… I am one of the dopest things to ever walk this earth if one takes the time to pay attention. And I don’t say that to be cocky or full of myself — I just started to believe in myself. MORE than anyone else has ever believed in me because I started taking Marianne Williamson’s “Deepest Fear” question seriously.

Truly, “Who am I NOT to be..” this magical? This creative? This ambitious?This driven? This in tune with myself? God gave me all of these gifts and talents and it is MY RESPONSIBILITY to live in the space where I am able to execute them every single day; whatever that looks like because it is my duty. And I’ve been embracing this reality in full force with gratefulness and confidence.

With this in the forefront, I’ve made it my obligation to move towards a life that is all of my dreams realized, instead of waiting for them to come to pass by happenstance. I understand that this way of living is going to cost me friendships, finances, and comfort, but it’s worth it.

“The only things in this life you can’t do are the things you never start.”

Today is the day, to live your life out to it’s fullest potential. Do that thing you said you were going to do. Plan that trip. Write that book. Start that blog. Create that business plan. You have full creative control over the life you’d like to lead. You just have to give yourself permission to do so. And with every step have the faith that everything that shall be will be, because life doesn’t happen to you — but for you. Have a great day! :)
