Weekly Inspiration :: Bravery

“Don't be afraid of your fears. They're not there to scare you. 

They're there to let you know that something is worth it.” 

~ C. JoyBell C.

 Feeling fear in times of great change or tribulation is only natural.

 In life, we unfortunately must experience things that scare us, or that make us feel powerless and out of control. 

But our fears do not exist to halt us in our tracks. 

Instead they should serve as a means to realize how strong we truly are, and as a motivating force to help us fight as hard as we can to be happy. 

Things may not always go as planned, but having faith in yourself and in knowing that you are willing to push on regardless of what comes your way, this is the true meaning of bravery. 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We celebrate all who have bravely fought this disease. Your bravery is an inspiration.

Weekly Inspiration :: Survival

"We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself

the means of inspiration

and survival."

~ Winston Churchill

It is only a fact that suffering exists in life. While there are times when we feel we simply cannot carry on, suffering can be the well from which hope and survival spring. When faced with lifes obstacles, find your inner strength and never give up without a good fight.

Use your fears and sufferings as a motivator to carry on, become stronger, and win those unforeseen battles that interfere with your happiness.

Always remember that you are a survivor.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we celebrate all of the fighters and survivors who have battled this disease.

Weekly Inspiration :: Courage

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

Nelson Mandela

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, 

 but the triumph over it.
The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, 

but he who conquers that fear."

~ Nelson Mandela

Fearing the difficult things that come our way is not a sign of weakness.

It is only natural to fear the unknown, but within each of us is the ability to conquer that fear with determination, strength, and courage. Courage is the ability to look fear in the face, recognize it as a challenge, and push through it to achieve what we think is impossible. 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Wishing strength and love to all the courageous women battling this disease, and to those that have loved and lost sisters, friends, and mothers to breast cancer.

Weekly Inspiration :: Hope

"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you,
till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer,
never give up then, 

for that is just the place and time

 that the tide will turn."
-Harriet Beecher Stowe

Hope is the thing that keeps us going. No matter how many challenges come your way, 

your hope and strength will always get you through.

 Trust in yourself, think positive thoughts, and lean on your loved ones

when you need an extra dose of hope.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Sending strength, love and hope to all of our sisters and friends who have battled or

lost loved ones to this disease.

Weekly Inspiration :: Dreams

"Throw your dreams into space like a kite, 

and you do not know what it will bring back, 

a new life, a new friend, 

a new love, a new country."

~ Anais Nin 

Our dreams and hopes may seem difficult to achieve at times, 

but there is no greater failure than not attempting to accomplish them.

We must allow ourselves to propel our hopes into the universe, sending out a signal for 

change and opportunity.

Bring your dreams to fruition. Fear is the only enemy.

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 :: Truth and Beauty

"The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity 

in which we are permitted 

to remain children all our lives."

~ Albert Einstein

Finding beauty in everyday things and moments provides us with 

an opportunity to see the world with new eyes each day. 

Allow yourself to give in to that sense of wonder that comes with noticing every detail of your surroundings, of finding mystery and beauty and inspiration in every part of your day.

Look at the world through a child's eyes and find something new and beautiful to love each moment.

Weekly Inspiration :: Strength and Courage

"We gain strength, courage, and confidence

by each experience in which we really stop

to look fear in the face...

we must do that which we think we cannot."

~ Eleanor Roosevelt

In life, the only thing truly stopping us from accomplishing our goals

is fear. Fear of failing, fear of losing, fear of not making it on the first try. While these are all rational thoughts, rather than letting fear shut you down, allow it to become a driving force 

to help you accomplish your dreams. Winning wouldn't be fun if it came easy, and lessons are less easily learned when you get something right the first time. Fear is a reality but it doesnt have to be the only reality.  Find your courage and face the unknown with an open heart and mind. You will accomplish more than you think.

Nothing is more important than feeling comfortable in our own skin. Embrace your beauty and your femininity. Find an excuse to let your girly side show through every day. Taking time for yourself, be it a manicure or a week long spa trip, allows us to focus back on ourselves so that we can be the best version of ourselves that we possibly can.
This confidence will surely be noticed, and will allow you to perform
your own everyday miracles.

Weekly Inspiration :: Explore, Dream, Discover

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” 

~ H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Never be afraid to live in the here and now.

 See the potential in every moment, and embrace the changes life throws your way. 

The only thing in life worth regretting is never taking a chance.

 

 

Weekly Inspiration :: Joy with a Smile

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, 

but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”

― Thich Nhat Hanh

Something as simple as a smile can change the world. Start a chain reaction and smile at a stranger. Chances are, they will notice and pass it along to someone else. This type of simple recognition between human beings can bring an immeasurable amount of joy. 

Share your smile with the world!
