Searching For Something
If ever you had a time when you longed for something but you just couldn’t figure out what that something was…my advise is…get quiet. That can mean whatever it means to you. Nobody can tell you the perfect formula for your life-it’s yours!
That fact was always terrifying to me. I am 100% accountable for my life. Things WILL come along and run me over but I am responsible for EVERY. SINGLE. THING. Then I began to realize what a huge weight off my shoulders this idea is. I am the master of my life. The leading lady. The one who holds all of the magic.
Guess what? YOU are 100% in charge of 100% of your life. Isn’t that amazing!
There is so much noise in this world at this time. You can spend your entire day online and plugged in to the chaos. If you are feeling overly anxious/worried/sad/(enter your word) I will put this challenge to you:
WHEN was the last time you sat with yourself in silence. WHEN was the last time that you were 1st in your life?
For me, those questions were incredibly difficult to answer. Not because I didn’t know the answer but instead because I knew I was being influenced all day- every day. The toll that the outside world took on my mental health was too much to continue to bear. But I sat in the silence and came out with my own thoughts and ideas. I would encourage you to do the same!
One of my favorite quotes at this moment in time is, “Comparison is the thief of joy” (President Theodore Roosevelt). Starting to rebuild this business has not been without struggle in this area. I will no longer look at the external world and try to incorporate those pieces into my internal dialog. No. The only thing to compare my life to is to my former self. The same holds true for you.
Stop searching for something that doesn’t exist out there, because it is lying somewhere inside of you. Find it there. Turn off the noise. Fall in love with your own life. That is where the authentic you will shine. You are one of a kind! I am sending hope and strength and love to your life and know that you have a cheerleader in me!
Go be YOU! The world is waiting~
