Loving Life...

In the past five months, a lot of changes have happened in my life. I have come to accept most of the challenges life has thrown at me with an open mind and a grateful heart! I guess what I have come to understand is that everything we do, we have to do with an open mind because most of the time our expectations do not align with the path we are taking. It is a satisfying feeling when you come to terms with what the Universe has aligned for you and open your mind to the new possibilities in front of you. I wake up every morning with a grateful heart because of the negativity and all the things that were pulling and keeping me down I have been able to let go. I no longer ask myself what is the purpose of this life, what is it that I am supposed to do in this life, I no longer let anything or anyone define who I am. The understanding of who you are, what you stand for, what your beliefs are, is AMAZING! We let so many things in our daily life drag us to a dark place and it is in our nature most of the time to allow ourselves to not try harder, be better, do better, to find that one thing that makes us happy. We train our minds to think it is OK to continue doing what makes us unhappy, we allow negativity to rule our lives, and the wrong people take advantage of us. I have always taught my children to be true to themselves, to believe they can do anything they set their minds to, to ONLY welcome the people who make them better, and most importantly to never feel that their failures defined them, but instead look at it as a lesson that needed to happen so they can be better at it the next time around. So how is it that in my adult life I dismissed all the things I told my kids and let any of those lessons bring me down? I guess those are the mistakes I had to learn to make me the person I am today. Today and always I only want to LIVE MY BEST LIFE!
