I thought I would share an Irish blessing in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day. I hope that you find nothing but happiness in all of your days. I hope you are rich in family and friends, and I hope your misfortunes turn into blessings.
May God be with you and bless you; May you see your children’s children; May you be poor in misfortunes and rich in blessings; May you know nothing but happiness; from this day forward

I saw this quote the other day, and it rang true. Successful people in life aren’t truly special. They are more determined and work harder than most people want to. If you want to succeed, you need to put your heart and soul into your goal. Work hard when you are young so you can enjoy the benefits as you grow older. Life is short my friends. Strive for your goals.
To be successful at anything, the truth is you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined, and willing to work for it.

I saw this quote at the bottom of the 1440 News email that I receive on a daily basis. What a great quote. If you write for the public or in private, remember the best books, journals, or stories come from a place inside you, inside your heart. You write because you have to get it down. We write because we want our story heard. So, write my friends, write!
The best books come from someplace inside. You don’t write because you want to, but because you have to.

We all need to take a step back and remember to pursue ourselves from time to time. Whatever path we are on, we need to make sure we are doing it as the healthiest and happiest version of ourselves. Are our dreams aligned with the best version of ourselves? If not, we need to refocus our priorities.
If you don’t know what to pursue in life right now… pursue yourself. Pursue becoming the healthiest, Strongest, happiest, most healed, most confident, most present version of yourself. Then the right path will reveal itself to you.

Although we may feel lost and broken at times, remember there is a way. And even if we are broken, we are still beautiful, unique human beings. Let’s lift our heads and find our way out of the darkness.
A disco ball is hundreds of pieces of broken glass put together to make a magical ball of light. You are not broken. You are a DISCO BALL!

It’s almost Valentine’s Day. Remember we have one life to live so live it your way. Spend time with the friends and family who give you joy and don’t worry about the people who don’t enjoy you or like you. Let’s spread love this week and always.
I guess the real fact of the matter is, we don’t know what tomorrow is going to bring and the only thing we really have is right now. So, don’t stay angry for too long, and learn to forgive. Love your friends and family with all your heart. Have fun and live your life the way you want to live it. Most of all, don’t worry about people who don’t like you and enjoy the ones who do.

We need to do something every day that makes us smile. Step out in the sunshine, go for a drive in the country, or listen to your favorite song. Whatever it is, take a moment each day to do something for yourself that will make you smile. Then take that smile and share it with others.
Make someone smile every day, but never forget that you are someone too. While spreading happiness like sunshine, don’t forget to save a ray for yourself too!!

I love being around people who are all there to have a good time. I love not having to worry about what I say. When you are around people who aren’t uptight and don’t take offense to the little things, that’s how you know you’ve found the right people. Surround yourself with these people who make you comfortable enough to be you.
I like when I don’t have to be careful with what I say. That’s when you know you’re with the right people.

Sometimes it’s hard to realize this and sometimes hard to let go, but when someone has treated you disrespectfully, you no longer need that person. And if you decide to let them go, you don’t even have to have that final conversation with them. Life is too short to let others put you down or mistreat you for no reason. Be strong, my friends, and let those people go.
Maturing is understanding that you don’t need that final conversation to find closure. Their dishonesty, disrespect, lack of care, and refusal to take accountability were all the closure you needed.

I saw this post on Facebook the other day and had to repost it on my blog. Sometimes I think we wait too long. We wait for someone to invite us to the party. We wait for someone to go with us to the concert. We wait for someone to make us happy. We need to stop waiting and make things happen for ourselves. Take the trip, go to the concert, explore the world alone, and create your own happiness.
Stop waiting. Travel solo, go to the concert alone, take yourself out to dinner, explore your own city. and stop waiting for other people to give you permission to do the things you want to do.
