STOPPING TO SMELL MY ROSES

I have got big plans, big goals, big dreams.

Am never satisfied, because satisfaction breeds complacency. So most of the time I’m unhappy because I stay still and think more about what have not achieved, have not done, and do not have.
As I stopped to smell my roses I realized that in the midst of all the confusion that hope, faith and persistence is what would help me move along my journey
Sure, always strive for more… but always take a moment to realize that all the things you have, especially your relationships, are more important than anything you want to have. Unlike a want, what you have isn’t a hope, a wish, or a dream. What you already have is real and awesome.
And it’s yours, Appreciate it.

In the new year I will follow my heart,

Trust my intuition,

Give everything I desire time to grow and fruition. There are a ton of lessons to learn in life and it often comes with a steep learning curve. Flow almost never happens immediately and comes in waves, so if it doesn’t work the first time, know it will take some time. There is no set formula to having a crazy yet beautiful life…..it just takes some time.

I know I might get to a breaking point and want to give up….a point where I would question all the inspiration, excitement, and passion I felt at the start the year. I would remember that there might be some slow times with a lot of learning, so no giving up. It would not always be an easy decision to keep going, but when I think of giving up on my dreams…..I will be strong.

Finally, I will be myself. While I haven’t been trying to be like anyone in particular, I realized I haven’t been myself completely. Instead of doing what I wanted to, I was doing what I felt was expected of me as a being, I wasn’t serving my heart and instead I was over thinking the entire process of my life. Now I have decided to be myself fully and enjoy my entire journey, things just felt easier but more importantly, I am being 100% authentic. Funny enough, when I stopped searching for the answers outside of myself, I found everything I needed within.

I hope you do too,

Happy new year!!!
