Be Who You Are...Always

Desperation doesn't change your character, it brings out qualities that are already there. Never let 'unwanted' circumstances change how you are and the way you present yourself to the world. No difficulty is worth losing yourself over.

"Live a life you love!" - Natasha Munson

The friend that cheers you on when you feel like falling out, pulls you up from your breakdown, is thrilled by your joy, is like a sister/brother...Cherish them! Love them!

Most people are more concerned with learning how to have a relationship then they are in learning how to love themselves. Love yourself first, then you'll know how to love others.

Finally had the patience to understand "Choose your battles". Some things are worth fighting for or over and some aren't.

Love isn't enough to make a relationship work but love makes us willing to work on the relationship.

It has nothing to do with whether you trust another person and everything to do with whether you trust yourself & life's learning process.

You can't change the minds of the people around you so you may have to change the people that are around you.

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. :). Hope you're having a blessed Sunday!

People like to think that things just happen but that's not true. Your thinking, your beliefs & your actions make things happen.

One of the reasons people don't achieve their dreams is that they desire to change their results w/o changing their thinking. - John Maxwell

One of the saddest things may be that we're trained to look outside of ourselves for greatness. But, YOU ARE THE GREATEST!

Holding in the little things will only lead to a big blowup. Best to let people know when they annoy you. If you're constantly annoyed then that's another issue.

Disappointing others is a let-down. Disappointing yourself does damage to the soul. Do everything you can to live life without regrets.

For right now I have to acknowledge that living with Lupus means I won't be traveling & speaking like I used to, so I'm going to work on webinars. That'll be cool :).

Just because you have a moment with someone doesn't mean you could have a life with them. People fit into the reason, season or lifetime categories.

I'm learning that you can't buy everything organic.

What's done in the dark will come to light. If you want peace of mind you should tell the truth always in the best way.

When someone doesn't get something they wanted, it's not the right time to tell them their beliefs could be the problem or explain that everything happens for a reason. Have compassion & just be a friend (that listens).

May your dreams be bigger than your memories. Respect your past accomplishments but imagine an even better future.

Choosing while desperate may not lead to the best decision. Get still, focus on what you really want & deserve. Then choose.

People are a lot dumber than you think and a lot wiser than you may believe. At any moment we can be one or the other. Have compassion.

Good Morning angels. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Sad thing is most people spend more time imagining their wedding & planning their divorce party then they do on their relationship. Love for life takes focus.

Whenever your ego wants you to assert yourself and say, "Do you know who I am or what I've accomplished?" you need to remember who you are - a child & messenger of God. Pay no attention to the ego.

The media may think it's best to thrive on negativity but if you want to thrive in your life you must focus on the positive things.

Friendship has to be one of the best gifts we can give to one another. Thank God for friends who love, support, advise, & encourage you.

For most, life is only as overwhelming as they think & allow it to be. You can change any circumstance if you commit to doing the opposite of what you've been doing.

Be careful of the people that always say what they are - "I'm a nice person," "I'm a Christian." Uh huh, we'll see. It's better to show & prove who you are.

As long as you amuse yourself, the world will never be too much for you to deal with. Something should make you smile and laugh everyday.

Want happiness? "Stop doing s**t that you hate." - Gary Vaynerchuk

Stop trying to be vengeful. God's got you & everyone else. Karma doesn't need your help.

Every day you have to stop and look at everything you have and say a loud, "Thank you, God!" sograteful

You ever find it amusing when people talk about their haters? What energy are you putting out in the world to attract that? Focus on your admirers and the folks that love you.

You should be less afraid of losing them than you are of losing yourself. Speak up for what you want. Honor yourself & your standards.

There's always a desire to look back & wonder. But, if you want peace of mind, learn to look forward & imagine.

Every experience is given as much power as we allow. You define it as good or bad, helpful or harmful. Lovers of life see it as all good.

You can keep playing the "woe-is-me" loop in your mind or you can choose peace by finding what you can be grateful for in this moment.

Move beyond your story, your reason you provide for things not going your way. You've experienced life, yes. Now create it. No excuses!

When you feel disappointment forming within you, remember that you did the best you could at the time. You made the decision based on the facts & strength you had at the time. Go forward with love. Trust that all is and will be well.

Don't allow yourself to stay distracted. Not even by your own mind. Shift your focus always to what you want the most.

Sometimes just the sound of your best friend's voice makes your day. When they're also the love of your life it makes your soul smile. Enjoy love!

God didn't put you here to settle. You're not going to win awards for dealing with drama as long as possible. Make a different choice!

People only do what you allow them to do. You set the standards. You determine what is acceptable.

No matter what you go through in life, you can either come through it broken or with renewed energy and strength. It’s your choice.

The lesson today is get out of the way and allow God to provide for you. You know what you want, now let it come to you in the best way.

Some people are joking through their pain and we're laughing without hearing the cry for help underneath. Pay attention & show up for the people you love.

You're never alone in life. There's a wisdom within you that can guide you through all of your choices if you're willing to listen.

You can't live life with one foot in & one foot out. At some point you have to decide to go all in or get out completely.

No matter what decision you make, "there's gonna be consequences and repercussions." Before you choose, imagine where that will lead you.

The person next me said she should've said, "Yes, yes, yes!" Rest in peace! Never take your life for granted. amywinehouse

It may not be as bad or difficult as you think. Step away. Focus on something else. The solution will come.

No more feeling of regret or thoughts of "I should have." You're blessed with this day, this moment, so use it to create what you wish.

She never showed consideration & now wants compassion. Had no patience & now needs understanding. Perhaps treat others as you would want to be treated makes sense now.

Thank you so much for your help with selecting the best life lessons. I appreciate you!

Will you choose your favorite life lessons? I would love & appreciate your help. Here's the link: http://ping.fm/EWaX4

Be careful of the energy you put out in the world because it will be returned to you. Whatever you want, you must give first.

At any moment you can learn something that will change your life. Anyone can teach you, you just have to be willing to learn. lifelesson

Relationships should be reciprocal. What you give, you should get. If you're doing all the reaching out then you have an acquaintance not a friend.

What's done is done. You have to make peace with the past, even if it was a decision you made ten minutes ago & move forward. Focus on now.

Be grateful for the people that push your buttons & work your nerves. They're teaching you a lesson & serving a purpose in your life.

The worst time to learn how much someone means to you is after they're gone from your life. Show your appreciation now.

Honesty is sexy and liberating. Tell your truth and free yourself. Say it with love but say it!

You're in control of your choices, emotions & actions everyday. Which means you're powerful & capable of creating the day & life you choose.

Followers mindlessly do what they see others doing without questioning why. God gifted you w/a magnificent brain. Use it!

The thing that makes you indecisive is the lack of courage to make a decision. Intuition tells you what is right for the moment, so choose!

Trust God. Trust yourself. Then it will be easier to extend trust to others.

You create your reality through your imagination, expectations and actions. Imagine the best, expect the best & then work for the best.

"Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of pure imagination. Anything you want to, do it. Wanna change the world? There's nothing to it." - Willy Wonka.

For a miracle to occur, you first have to believe that it can.

"The best way to predict the future is to create it." - Peter Ferdinand Drucker

Life changes when you start acting instead of reacting. We're not meant to just deal with the blows. We are meant to create our dream lives.

You must first give your gift to yourself. Give yourself the inspiration, love, compassion, friendship, etc., that you would give to others.

Embrace Your Illness

When you're diagnosed with an illness loved ones tell you to fight. I say don't fight it, embrace it. Not accept, but embrace it, learn from it, discover your strengths and weaknesses through it. You will not only learn the true meaning of friendship, the power of prayer, and the strength of your spirit but you will also learn how to take better care of yourself and how to be more compassionate and loving towards yourself and others.

"Live a life you love!" - Natasha Munson

The Power of the Ex

As usual a celebrity breakup/battle is in the news and it sparked something within me. We have to take more accountability for our relationships. When you see that ex you should know that 1) you chose them 2) they were in your life for a reason and 3) if you end with bitterness and negativity you're going to bring those feelings into your next relationship unless you balance this all out now.

Sadly, when relationships end, many people come out swinging with negative comments and bad memories. Suddenly the former love of your life is no longer amazing and is now just annoying. But, before you proceed down this road of "I can't believe I did that" take a moment to pause, reflect and recognize.

Look at the relationship for what it brought to your life. What did you learn from the experience? What were the blessings? What powerful knowledge do you move forward with?

There are always two sides to everything. Two ways of seeing it all. So before you slander someone's name, someone you used to love and adore (or at least that's what you said) take some time to remember the good in them. Say a little prayer for their happiness and peace of mind. Wish them well. As you do this you bring peace to your life, balance in your heart, freedom to move on and the power to make a "better" choice next time.

See everyone with love and your world will always be filled with the love of your life.
