Morning thoughts while drinking coffee

​There have been times in my life where I've been down; I've been out, I've been afraid. I've looked up at the road ahead and I've been completely unsure. And I can say first hand, when you are going through a situation like this, that it essentially consumes you, right? It's all you see; it's all you think about to the point where the good stuff, the opportunities around you it becomes transparent, you see right through it. It's the negative, it's the misfortunate for a period of time that becomes your narrative, becomes your story. What if this is forever, what if I'm not as good as I want to be, or as they are? What if things don't work out? Never mind the fact that you've been here before and that you've battled back. Never mind how far you've come...NO! That takes a backseat to the discomfort that we feel right now and that's the irrationality of the human mind we forget. We forget. We forget that the lows create the highs. The temporary isn't forever, that you can't stand with any kind of authority if you've never before fallen. Accomplishing anything is never just walking up and reaching a goal, it's about getting back up over and over again. Taking the bad breaks in stride and seeing the losses for what they are. Necessary.

​Remember; less friends, less drama. Keep your circle small. And never reveal too much information about yourself. Never talk about your personal life. Think positive thoughts, free your mind from negative thoughts. Write down every day, a few things you're grateful for. Focus on your Business & Career. Write an entry in your Journal every day, Go to bed early and get up early. Exercise 30 minutes a day. Write down Weekly goals. Make a list of your good qualities; things you do well, accomplishments in your life, things you love about yourself

​Focus on yourself. Focus on your goals. Focus on being a better person. Stop overthinking, let shit go. Stop trying to seek out love or a relationship. Focus on your career & making money. Set a budget, save money, buy only necessary things, write down bills. Stop letting people take advantage of you.

​NOTE TO SELF: Remember your worth more than you think. Never fall back into the trap of being used and/or abused. Stop telling people your feelings for them when they don't give a fuck. Keep your feelings & thoughts to yourself when you know a person is only trying to use you, when you know they don't share the same feelings for you.

​Not everyone has good intentions. Some people are only nice to you & act like they care so they can use you. People only treat you the way you allow them to treat you. Stand up for yourself; stop letting people talk down to you, stop letting people belittle you, stop letting people bully you, stop letting people use you.

​NOTE TO SELF: Keep your guard up, don't trust anyone fully, watch your back, never fully let anyone in. Don't express your feelings; write them down, then let them go & don't let them take over your thoughts or mind.

​Focus on yourself; on your goals, your dreams, your career, where you want to be in life, what you want to become, focus on being successful. Put yourself first for once, stop putting your goals & dreams on the back burner for someone else.

​Giving a Woman the world has nothing to do with money.

​While on a trip, send yourself a postcard every day from wherever you are and write what you did that day on it...Then bind them when you return to have a journal of your trip. Complete with photos, stamps and a run-down of each day's events.

​As an Aries I would rather distance myself from everyone when I'm angry because I don't want to vent my wrath on people; I can destroy you in a fit of rage and I choose not to. So let me be.

​Good writing is remembering detail. Most people want to forget. I won't forget things that were painful or embarrassing or silly. I will turn them into a story that tells the truth.

​Did you know one of the most ancient and enduring symbols is the spiral? It represents the winding journeys we must take inward if we're to truly know & love ourselves. From those never-ending journeys we return with infinitely more power and wisdom.

​You know what? Yes, I've changed. I'm not as nice as I used to be, because I don't want to get used or walked over. I don't trust everyone and tell them my secrets, because behind every fake smile there's a backstabber. I distance myself from people because in the end, they're only going to leave. I have changed because I have realized that I'm the only person I can depend on.

​Fall in love with taking care of yourself. Fall in love with the path of deep healing. Fall in love with becoming the best version of yourself but with patience, with compassion and respect to your own journey.

​"The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything." -- Albert Einstein

​Money can buy a house, but not a home.
Money can buy a bed, but not sleep.
Money can buy a clock, but not time.
Money can buy a book, but not knowledge.
Money can buy food, but not an appetite.
Money can buy you friends, but not love.

​Good Morning! It's Thankful Thursday, what are you Thankful for today? I am thankful for my family, my furbabies, coffee, my health, and my close friends
