Self reflecting....

(I do not own the rights to this photo.)

The last few days or so, I’ve really taken some time to reflect. Maybe it’s the full moon or the heat?! But geez Louise, misery sure does loves company lately in social media and real life. It’s exhausting to see & hear such negativity day in and day out. There is so much to be grateful for. Yes it’s normal to vent, get down at times, and feel a certain way. But staying stuck in that vibe, projecting it, and carrying on as poor me is another. Some will say but some are stronger than others. Of course, some can be and having down times doesn’t make you weak. It’s ok to have moments, a pity party, a good cry, or even be a cry of help. It’s life!! We all face battles. But let me ask you this, what are you doing to take control of your life?! What are you doing to improve yourself, a situation, your circle, your everyday environment?! Waiting, wishing, and just hoping is optimistic but not proactive. What steps are you taking?! Stop waiting for that man or woman to be what you need, to be noticed, or to be enough. Be what you need and start taking ownership for what you attract and what you see as what you are dealt and actually deal with it. When you are healed, whole, and love yourself 💯, you will attract the same. When you are broken, needy in the wrong way, and searching for a person, place, or thing to make you whole, you are attracting the things you are lacking. It’s a process and sometimes most are not ready for what they think they are. It’s not why he or she is fortunate to have this or that. When you solely work on yourself 💯 and keep a positive winning spirit, things will shift in an upswing direction. The opposite downshift will happen with constant negativity and create your own imprisonment or hell. Even careerwise, knowing you are worthy of more whether it be a promotion, to learn something new, and sometimes a leap of faith in an unexpected path. Growth is continuous and necessary for all of us. Want to grow, evolve, and better yourself to have a fulfilling life and experience true joy? It all starts with what you feed yourself with daily even hourly. Go to a quiet space, close your eyes, and think about what you feel passionate about and what makes you feel grateful. Think about how you speak to yourself and the messages you put out and ask yourself if you are closer to your bliss by it. Love to all. Have a peaceful night! Stay cool! ❤️✌🏼
