You are enough. When was the last time you told yourself this? We push ourselves so much, our minds are constantly in full speed of the things we want to do, of the things we feel we need to get accomplished.

Life is busy, there’s always some kind of chaos from day to day but we have to remember to breathe. No matter what you do or how much you do or how much of a perfectionist you are, no matter how much you may fall short at times, you must remember that You are enough, you have nothing to prove to anyone else. Own your gifts. Embrace the truth. And watch how it transforms your life from insecurity to self love.

Each day, choose to be grateful. Take into perspective how far you’ve come. Think back to how you felt, and realize that your life is valuable, because you made it. You made it through those trials. You are better, because you choose to be better. Let that gratitude heal your frustrations, let it be a compass for understanding your worth and your value. Choose life. Choose happiness. Choose love. Choose peace.

Life responds to you. The Universe responds to your innermost feelings, your inner thoughts.

Sometimes bad events can come like a domino effect, one after another.

Switch the perspective and turn the negative into a positive, by understanding that when one good event happens, many other good events tend to follow.

When everything seems to be falling apart, focus on one aspect of your life that is going right. Focus on the good, in order to outweigh the bad. Things will start to fall into place.

Feeling alone is a process that we all know too well. Sometimes it can happen when you least expect it to. But, it’s important to understand why you feel alone. What is causing you to feel this way? Once you develop an understanding, the process of growing starts to fall into place. Loneliness can seem like such a hard feeling to cope with, but it’s only a temporary feeling. Be open to the solitude, take it in and reflect on your life. Use that time to recharge, and evolve your mindset. We all get lonely, but it won’t last forever. You will find your purpose, and feel whole again. You are worthy of love, you will be successful, you aren’t alone, and it will get better. I know it seems so far fetched right now, but seeing is believing. If you can dream it, then you can become what you see.

Sometimes we need to renegotiate a relationship and understand that our feelings can be warning signs. We have intuition and guidance for a reason, to avoid what could potentially lead us inti harmful situations. Energy is real, and is a key indicator on whether or not a person, place or opportunity is right for you. What do you need? How do you feel? What do you think and want? We are responsible for ourselves. Boundaries have to be set into place, so that we understand what’s best for us, what to release and what is worth saving.

Of course, it’s not that easy to let go of a grudge. When we feel that someone has wronged us, we hold on to these negative feelings in pursuit of revenge or justice. We want the other person to realize what they’ve done, feel remorse, and learn a lesson. In the short-term, grudges may serve to motivate us, validate us, or protect us. But in the long term, their internalized focus begins to do some real psychological damage. Forgiveness, on the other hand, empowers us to take a broader perspective.

Forgiveness validates our sense of being a kind, resilient person. Forgiveness protects us from holding in emotions that ultimately only hurt ourselves.

We really are our own worst enemy. Maybe you think your job, partner,  family, or environment is holding you back. These things all play a role in your success, but you also have to take responsibility for your actions and avoid playing the blame game.

Self-sabotage is when we say we want something and then go about making sure it doesn’t happen. You are the source of your challenges, you also have the power to eliminate them.

We all know what it’s like to be afraid of something. Fear is a normal reaction that warns our bodies to be careful. Anxiety is a type of fear, dealing more with worry and the future, rather than fearing something that is present.

When fear and anxiety become a pattern in our lives, they become a problem.

You can’t overcome a fear that remains hidden in your subconscious. You have to face it. Awareness helps you to overcome it. We can get through all obstacles, it’s an understanding of mind over matter.

Being kind to yourself does not only mean to not be mean to yourself but to show respect and compassion towards yourself. It means accepting your own mistakes as a part of yourself and listen and understand to your needs and desires. Stop striving for perfection, because that’s the easiest and fastest path to disappointment, which again means being mad at yourself for “failing” at being perfect. Instead of striving to be perfect, strive to become your best version, instead.

We all have a past, and perhaps during those past moments we engaged in behaviors or situations that we aren’t too fond of, but that’s what being human is truly about. We are bound to make mistakes, and learning from those lessons is what we need to acknowledge. We are often too caught up in what we did wrong, instead of applying the lessons and focusing on progression. None of us are exempt from trials and tribulations, we just have to go through the process. Faith goes a long way, when trying to redeem a situation. You will never truly be lost, as long as you take accountability.

When we hold ourselves accountable, we are giving into growth, and expressing to the universe that we’ve learned from the past.
