Weekly Inspiration :: Passion

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer.

Always remember you have within you

the strength, 

the patience, 

and the passion

to reach for the stars

to change the world."

~ Harriet Tubman 

 

Passion is the best driving force. Allowing ourselves to follow our passions is one 

of the most important things in life. Whatever drives you to be the best version of yourself that you can be, whatever keeps you going at the worst possible moments, whatever that one thing is that makes you truly happy, the best thing you can do for yourself is to pour yourself into your passions.

Allow yourself to dream larger than life, and use your passion to make those dreams come true.

Weekly Inspiration :: New Beginnings

“Some changes look negative on the surface 

but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life 

for something new to emerge.” 

~ Eckhart Tolle

Change is always slightly scary. It sometimes means uncertainty and comes with its own set of challenges. But it also brings about new beginnings, a chance for a fresh start, and the possibility for reinvention. Allowing yourself to face change with an open mind and heart takes courage, and gives you the opportunity to discover your true strength. 

Embrace all of the changes that come your way, even the ones that might seem scarier than others. 

Your perseverance will take you to new and exciting places.

Weekly Inspiration :: Break the Rules

"If you obey all the rules, 

you miss all of the fun."

~ Katherine Hepburn

Life is crazy sometimes. Chaos becomes routine, we build boundaries for ourselves

in order to maintain balance and set rules for ourselves. But every once in a while, its just more fun to break the rules...even the ones we make for ourselves.

Every once in a while its ok to cheat on your diet, skip a work out to go shopping, call in sick to enjoy the sunshine, or dip into your savings for that dream vacation. While having a routine and rules is all fine and well, sometimes you just gotta shake things up a bit and live life a little differently. 

Breaking the rules every now and then can instill a sense of confidence and 

independence that sometimes gets lost in everyday life. Plus, sometimes its just fun to let your inner bad girl out every now and then.

Weekly Inspiration :: Enlightenment

"Enlightenment is always there. Small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment. If you breathe in and are aware that you are alive—that you can touch the miracle of being alive—then that is a kind of enlightenment." 

~ Thich Nhat Hahn 

Something as simple as a deep breath can change who we are in a single moment. With all of the frustrations, tasks, and emotions involved in a single day, a deep breath can help us feel centered, focused, and alive. Whenever you start to feel overwhelmed or flustered, inhale as deep as you can and then let all of the days stress flow out of you as you exhale. This will clear your mind and allow you to feel enlightenment every day.

Weekly Inspiration :: Be Yourself

"There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a person being themselves. 

 Imagine going through your day being unapologetically you.” 

~ Steve Maraboli

There is no one on this earth that is quite like you. You have your own gifts to share with the world and your own light to shine onto others. 

Embracing every bit of yourself, even the things you might not like so much, can benefit not only you, but the people around you. 

As the saying goes, you cannot expect to be loved by others if you do not love yourself. 

Once you learn to accept who you are and what you can offer to the world, you will release a positive energy so great that others will start to take notice. 

Never apologize for being who you truly are and know that the most beautiful thing you can be in this world is yourself.
