I’ve never been one to compare myself to others. It’s just not a healthy thing to do. We are all different and live our lives as we choose. Some people seem to find themselves stuck in the comparison hole. Once you’re in there it will be hard to get out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I personally don’t give a fuck what anyone says about me or my choices. lol. That’s me. Always was and always will be. If I go down a path it’s because I feel it’s the right one. And yes we all make mistakes but regret is something I don’t carry with me. You live and you learn. And knowing your true purpose will always move you in the right direction. If you focus and allow yourself to be captivated by your purpose, your journey will be much easier.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Choose YOU every time and good things will happen. You are the light. Shine as bright as you can and that energy will consume the people around you, uplifting their souls and inspiring them to see their true purpose as well. Negativity only kills the magic. And comparing yourself to others is a good way of suffocating your inner light – because you will never be someone else. And no one else can be you. Live your truth.

Be a Warrior

Of course there are things that happen in life that stress you out and make you worry. We all go through it. And it’s so easy to let things get you down. To be upset. It’s much harder to push through and come up with a solution to your problem. It’s harder and sometimes exhausting to put a smile on your face and keep your head up. But the truth is – moping around and doing nothing about it won’t help at all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The warrior is the one who doesn’t back down. You acknowledge how shitty a situation is, grieve how you need to, and move forward toward a positive outcome. While the worrier just seems to worry. Nothing will come out of this. That negative energy will only attract more shit to worry about. And who the hell wants that?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Focus on what makes you happy. Extend good vibes. Be positive. Be grateful. Stay clear of shitty people and drama. Be strong so you can dig yourself out of a hole when you have to. Inform yourself on what you should know. Follow your gut feeling. Allow yourself to make mistakes and be thankful for the lessons. Be true to yourself. Be a warrior.

Seclusion

Little houses that rest in seclusion are so appealing to me. I’ve always been one who needs space. Alone time. Whether it’s for clearing my mind, reading, working or creating – having this time is essential. It’s been hard for me to attain this necessary space over the years but now thanks to my studio it’s a reality. So far it’s been amazing working with no distractions. And having peace and quiet makes all the difference. I am so grateful we were able to make this happen. And maybe one day we can be so lucky to have a little cottage like this too.

Timing

I often wonder about timing and why things happen when they happen. Even if it’s small, I don’t believe in coincidences. Lately I’ve been a bit overwhelmed and stressed. We’ve had a lot going on these past few months. And now, thanks to the weather change and our son getting sick, I’m sick 😩 Having a head cold + my normal shitty allergies is not fun. And I’m thinking – maybe this is a message. Maybe my body is telling me to slow down and rest. That makes perfect sense to me. So I’m taking it easy and focusing on getting better because I cannot afford to get worse. So here’s to listening to your inner voice and recognizing that timing is everything. Happy Friday ✨
