August 27, 2007so i’ve been on this positive thinking kick since the beginning of the year and sometimes its easier to keep to than others. one thing that i have learned though through the ups and downs that i’ve faced so far this year is that something will only affect you as much as you let it. that’s the whole big secret. we are responsible for how good or bad we feel.
that is why some people have bad days and can brush them off and still smile while other people run and hide under the blankets and lose out on good times in the coming days. i’ve decided that i’m done hiding under the covers. if God brings me to it He will see me through it. and more so He helps put things in my path so i know that i am on the right path. i’ve been blessed to have friends who want to live their lives enjoying the positive and learning from the negative.
it doesn’t mean that life is always purrfect. in fact, i have been through and watched friends through difficult times this year (& its only august) but i have watched the strength and wisdom that each of us has gained. many of us have read the secret (great book, pick it up if you haven’t done so by now) and have decided that we will no longer put anything into the universe that we do not want.
one of my friends and i are currently reading the purpose driven life (another great book) and are learning a little bit more about ourselves every day.
life is far from perfect but it is the purrfect life for each of us. every struggle and obstacle we deal with is a moment to learn and witness the beauty & love that comes from God trusting us and having faith that we will learn what He is teaching us.
we must be grateful for all of our experiences. we must know that everthing happens because it is supposed to happen and it is more about our reaction to the action than the actual action itself. life is as good as we want it to be. for me life is love. everyhting comes from love therefore we should live embracing it and being thankful for being embraced in it.
til next time…besos babe!
August 20, 2007so it’s been over a month since i’ve last posted…it’s been a long month filled with many ups and downs…filled with laughter and tears but i’ve walked through the fire and emerged stronger and much more focused…
i attempted to write a few times but couldn’t share with the public where i was in my mind and soul. i felt as if a part of me was lost and what was left was shattered. i needed time to heel and needed a chance to rebuild. i’m in the rebuilding portion now but realized that i was ready to write. ready to acknowledge that love sometimes hurts. love sometimes doesn’t have all of the answers but instead asks more questions. that’s when love really begins.
if we fear than we have no chance of succeeding. God didn’t give us fear therefore we must not accept it. we must fight against it and know that it will not help us but only prohibit us for experiencin the beautiful taste of success that God wants us to live and thrive in. love is bestowed upon us everyday, we must be willing to be open to feeling and seeing it everywhere.
i didn’t meet a lot of the goals i set for this summer but i have remapped a lot of what i want and where i want to be…and i know that i am exactly where i am supposed to be when i’m supposed to be there…
til next time…besos baby…
