Choices Reflect Our Inner Truth

Love | 08.16.16

Our inner truth are shown through our decision making, our intentions, and our capacity to love which pushes us into the most positive space when our hearts are open to it.

I’ve been told that my life appears to be a fairy tale but it’s all up to perception. Whatever space the individual that is that is observing my live is created from the space they live in. If they’re content, it’s looked at with warmth and love. If they’re bitter, it’s looked at with a cold heart and bitter judgement.

I want to be the first person to snap my fingers and pull this illusion out of a bitter mind because no one has a perfect life.

Perfect is the last word I would ever write when labeling myself, ever! I’d like to believe that I’ve persevered through situations that could have killed me. I’ve been through hell and back in my relationships with past flames, and I’m lucky enough to have a platform to use my voice as a “lifestyle blogger” to post about positivity and anything else that sparks my attention.

As a blogger, I hope anyone that reads this realizes that what you see on my social platforms or any other bloggers is an edited version of reality. What I share is the high points of life because I don’t wish to share the moments that are extremely difficult nor the moments that are extremely private that involve my insta-kids. I do share a lot of my life but there’s a huge part that I keep just for myself.

It’s human nature to share and it’s natural to hold back when I need to breathe. I’ve found that any post I make that is from my heart is one that resonates with others and hopeful stimulates hope, love, laughter, and positivity. The world is hard enough.

I want to be a breath of fresh air rather than a stagnant breeze of toxic fumes.

I found this quote today and it speaks to me on a deep level of my current space.

∞ Grateful to have a choice and to choose love over hate.

∞ Laughter instead of crying.

∞ Things to create instead of destroying. Persevering instead of quitting.

∞ Praising instead of gossiping.

∞ Healing myself and others instead of malicious wounding.

∞ Giving love instead of stealing and creating misery.

∞ Acting instead of procrastinating.

∞ Growing from things instead of allowing them to wound me.

∞ Praying with gratitude instead of cursing from obstacles.

∞ Living whole-heartedly instead of allowing evil to hurt my heart, spirit, soul, marriage, and life.

We’re only given one shot at life.

Rise above the things that challenge your mental and physical health. Sure, they might hurt you temporarily but know that you’re above it and you will persevere past evil.

Love trumps hate every single day. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, search for the light, and move onward and upward.

God has a great plan for you.

✨ 𝓉𝑜𝓅 𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑒 ✨ Compared to ✨ 𝓉𝑜𝓅 𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑒 ✨ Compared to other years, 40 posts in 2020 is scarcity at its finest when compared to other years of me posting almost every day. The time away has allowed me to get through one of the darkest years, so many of us have faced. While I’ve historically turned to my keyboard as a release of hardships, I’ve been unusually reclusive as I’ve focused on a silent health challenge, family, friends, work, and school as a guiding light. ✨ 2020 was a year I never really wanted, but I learned much about myself and tapped on inner strength to push through. ✨ Therefore I must be grateful for the lessons I’ve learned. 🙏 2021, please be kind. The world and I need it. #thankunext #surviveandthrive #ciao2020 #topnine

• 𝓂𝑜𝓇𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝒹𝓈 • Today I choose to show up as the best “me” I can be, much like how the ocean shows us how to be. ☀️ The empowered me that battles my autoimmune diseases with radical approaches to heal all within me. 💪 The confident me. The me that handles both anything and everything the world tosses at me. 🌎 The me that faces the world with eyes of possibility, creativity, and solution. 🤩 The me with a heart full of hope and a head full of beautiful dreams. 🥰 The me that floods others with kindness and love. 🌊 The me that knows my strength is my best asset because it paves the way for all of my dreams, much like a powerful currant like the waters can be. 💛 The me that knows it will be okay. Because this life is much like water, it never stays the same as it ebbs and flows. It’s a mystical cycle that reminds us how small we are compared to the big picture of this journey called life. 🤗 How refreshing is that ocean breeze. • 𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓉𝓉𝑒𝓇𝑒𝒹 • #writersofinstagram #wanderer #transformationtuesday #bellaoflouisville ✨
{ 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒷𝒾𝓇𝓉𝒽𝒹𝒶𝓎 𝒸𝒽𝑒𝒸𝓀-𝒾𝓃 } It’s my birthday week, and while there is so much happening in our world that impacts each of us in a multitude of ways, there is still so much I’m grateful for. • I have a loving husband, kids, mom, extended family, and my fur babies. • I’m in remission with my autoimmune diseases. While I still have bad days, the good ones overshadow them. • I’m growing my career with education to continue chasing my dreams. • I have a loving roof over my head, cozy clothes on my back, and inner peace about things I cannot control. • It might not sound like much, but for me, life has given me more than I’ve ever prayed for. • I’ve “socially distanced” myself IRL and digitally with COVID to focus on family and my faith. I’m re-emerging into the world with a renewed sense of contentment and optimism. I’m ready to shed the 37-year-old shell to joyfully leap into 38 with all the hope I can muster. ✨ Cheers to this wild journey we call life! 🥃 #anotheryearwiser #cheers #celebrateeveryday
