They say reincarnation is a rebirth after death. But I don’t think you have to die to be reincarnated. I believe that you can have a rebirth in your life. A new awakening or awareness will bring on this change. And I believe we can do it over and over if we truly believe in ourselves. Nothing easy is worth the reward. I always feel the harder I work for it, the sweeter the reward. The journey should be viewed as the reward. Lessons that I learn through my journey are the treasures of it all. Sometimes it’s hard for me to see this in the process. Most of the time it’s when I look back that I am even more grateful for the way things have happened.

So I am taking yet another deep breath and just loving this wild journey that is my life. And I am waking up and going for what my heart wants most. Happiness!! Life is too short to be unhappy. I am motivating myself to be the best me I can be You should too   #LoveLife

I believe that this world is built on two things: positive and negative. There’s Yin/Yang, Up/Down, +/-, Love/Hate and so on… So it seems like you need both to have the world work. For me, I try to focus on the positive side to things but without fail negative shows up in one form or another. I am working on just accepting that and not dwelling on it. The more I think about negative, the more negative happens. BUT the more I love, the more love I receive. Not saying it is 100% of either. I just try my best to keep myself in the positive realm. It gets hard when outside influences drag on negative. I will try my best to get these spirits to see the flip side of their dreary story. There is always a silver lining that can be seen with an open mind. I keep faith that the universe would never give me a challenge that I cannot handle. Time, patience, persistence and determination are things that will get me through anything. So when I am getting down, I remind myself of my UPS. And when I am slipping to negative that is when I flip the positive switch!! Fill myself with I CAN! Never forget, that YOU CAN and life is beautiful when you choose to look at the positive.

Moving into the 2nd 1/2 of the last month of the year brings reflection of the past year for me. Just thinking of everything all at once it pretty overwhelming. BUT I must remember that this is what life is. Evolving is living and if we are not growing and changing, we are dying.

It is raining here in L.A. which is indeed our winter. Just funny how weather parallels my mood a lot of the time. These past couple of months have been a roller coaster of emotions. I remind myself that there is no good times unless we have bad to compare them to. So with that said, I am grateful for the bad times because they make the good so much better.

I have no control over anything but myself. When I put expectations outside of myself in other people, I am disappointed because I am not them and I can not control what they do, think or say. The more I let go of what I want others to do and focus on ME the happier I am. It is a practice everyday because I am human and I have flaws. I do not think that practice makes perfect, but I think it makes you better the more you do it.

With all this said when I do have a heavy heart and am not in the happiest mood I write gratitude lists. Just to remind myself that YES I am sad and that is ok, BUT I have a lot in my life and I am always taken care of. So…….

I am grateful for: Hot water in my shower, a job to go to, my loving amazing parents, friends I can always call, a phone to call them, clean clothes to wear, this computer right in front of me, and most of all I am grateful to God who is there 24/7. All I need to do is reach out.

There is no darkness, only absence of light… So don’t let the bad times take you out. Shine through because the light is always there.

LoveLife
