Go Big

“The only place where your dream becomes impossible is in your own thinking.” ~ Dr. Robert Schuller

Dream big. Think bigger.

My Heart is Resting!!!

Life is a Lesson

“Life is a lesson and experience is it’s best teacher” – Mia L.

Your most important education isn’t happening inside of a classroom. Each life experience, hardship, or adversity teaches you about yourself, others, and the world around you.

Choose to enjoy the journey. When you fall, muster the strength to get back up again. Be gracious to yourself and to others; and view every mistake as a lesson.

Choose Peace

“When you take control of your attitude, you take control of your life. “ ~ Roy T. Bennett

Life is unpredictable, but we don’t have to be. We choose our response 100% of the time. We have control over the level of stress and anxiety we allow to disrupt our lives.

When facing disappointment, allow peace to rule. Allow it to fill your heart and mind—your entire life—to the point where there is no place for fear and worry to creep in.

Attitude Matters

“The most important thing you will ever wear is your attitude. “ ~ Jeff Moore

Do you tend to see the glass half full or half empty?

People who look on the bright side of a situation tend to experience positive results. But looking for the good in everything doesn’t guarantee a desired outcome. On the contrary, it strengthens your resolve to the point where you are unbothered, resolute, and determined to push through, despite the circumstance.

Attitude matters.

Keep Your Focus

Life is full of uncertainty. Focus on what you can control.

Life is full of unknowns. Focus on what you know to be true.

Life is full of distractions. Focus on what matters.

Life is full of ups and downs, focus on what brings you joy.

This Too Shall Pass

“Breathe. It’s just a bad day, not a bad life. “ ~ Unknown

“This too shall pass.”

I heard this all too often growing up. It was a constant reminder, even if not intended to be, of perspective when facing adversity. It signaled the finiteness of hardship. It confirmed that our troubles were temporary.

Understanding this truth is critical in keeping the right perspective when experiencing hard times.

While bad days, weeks, months, and seasons are a reality, I choose peace over fear and worry. I choose to breathe over anxiety and panic. I choose to anchor myself in truth until “this”—whatever “this” is at the moment—passes through and I am on the other side of it.

Be Thankful in All Things

“Gratitude helps you fall in love with the life you already have. “ – Unknown

Being grateful is a mindset. It is an attitude; a determination to love yourself and the life you have irrespective of the circumstances, setbacks, or hardship.

We can and should always love where we are while working toward where we want to be.
