Life happens in the little things. The little things make the big things enjoyable. You trust based on the little things. Your heart is captured by the little things. You smile, laugh, and cry when you think about the little things.
Never take the little things for granted...they're the things that make life worth living and loving.
It's beautiful to be you...simply beautiful.

Notice
You don't have to give notice for all that you do or plan to do. People will notice what you do because they notice you. Set your goal and act on it. Those around you, near and far, will be very much aware of your endeavors and accomplishments. Prepare for the mistakes and the failures, but keep moving forward.
Keep moving forward...without notice. You don't have to announce that you aren't hurt or setback due to an untimely event or unfavorable outcome. Make an alternate plan for your alternate plan...you'll always be ready. Be ready for whatever comes, even when you may not know all that could come. Know the lay of the land for which you plan to be engaged....and go.
You don't have to give notice of for your dreams, goals, and achievements. Strategize and make small, quick moves...without notice. Giving no notice allows no room for distraction. Just do it.

Limitations
It's very important that you know yourself and your personal limitations. You can achieve whatever you set in your heart and mind to achieve. However, you can only be the best at whatever talents lie within you. Know how far you can go and never overextend yourself. Don't make commitments that you know, from the start, you can't fulfill.
Don't be saddened because you can't do it all. Don't be disappointed because you need the talents of another to totally, successfully, reach your goal with excellence. Never feel that you've let everyone down if you say "no". Use the talents of others around you to learn from and help support you through your endeavors. However, always be humble and honest with those that have consciously chosen to help or support you.
It's ok the need or ask for help. You can't do everything alone. There is no "I" in team...and you need a team of helpers and supporters to reach your goals. Remember to reflect in all things...and know your limitations.

Treats
There isn't a single thing wrong with treating yourself. I think you owe it to yourself sometimes. There are times at which you must indulge and enjoy yourself...just don't overdo it. When those times come around...you'll know. It won't hurt, won't be questionable, won't get in the way of anything, won't upset your plans...it'll fit right in with how you feel.
Treats are wonderful presents wrapped up in the colorful, sheer enjoyment of all that is right and good. They're like your personal thank you to yourself. They're like your own little spaces and moments of exhale...in the midst of whatever is going on around you. They're the little things you do that you think about months later....and you smile to yourself. Treats are fabulous...but only in small doses.
Treat yourself...well. Make yourself feel good sometime. Do for you what no one else can...delight yourself in the pleasurable gratification that comes only from within. Do something nice for you...treat yourself. You'll thank me later.

Celebrate
Celebrate life daily with a smile when you rise. Each day is a gift that you don't have to be given. Appreciate each gift by living your life well, despite the moments you'd care not to experience. Whatever you do today, do it well. Be happy, spread love, and be safe. Share your light-hearted merriment...celebrate!
It's beautiful to be you...simply beautiful.

Ouch!
It hurts sometimes when you're told something you don't want to hear. It hurts sometimes when you don't get your way. You don't like it and sometimes wish things would just go your way...not gonna happen! You want to ask, and get, what you ask for...sometimes, even if it hurts. There's always a price for what you want.
Yes, I know...sometimes it feels like you can't win. When you ask for honesty, you get harsh, abrasive words that don't seem fitting for any action that you've performed. When you ask for soft or sweet words, you get a load of crap that you know are 90% lies! When you ask for wisdom, you get what someone thinks that is in no way wise or even beyond their narrow-minded view of the world. Ouch...just the thought hurts a little.
When you have an ouch moment...just grab a handful of reflection, a cupful of humility, a pinch of patience, and just a smidgen of confidence. Think about what you ask for. Accept it with an open heart and mind...minus the pride. Wait for what you want instead of chasing it and be confident in knowing that the sting of what you need begins to dull more and more as you gain a clearer understanding of yourself.
It's beautiful to be you...transformingly beautiful.

Wait For It
Waiting sometimes seems like the hardest thing you have to do. Nevertheless, it must be done - either by choice or by force. Nothing you want will come to you any faster if you make up in your mind that your mind that you won't be patient and wait. You can't make time or life move anymore expediently than the pace at which it's designed to happen. Just wait for it.
I know you want the finer things in life that you've worked so hard to achieve. You want international trips at your leisure and dining out when you get the taste. You want to help others when they need help, not just when you can. You want to do nice things just because, not just on special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. You want to extend yourself to others in a way that will keep a perpetual smile on your face and in your heart.
At times, you think of having someone special to share your heart-smile with. You'd love to be able to make someone else feel as special as you do when you help someone. You want to put as much time and energy (or more) into loving someone special as you do your work and other endeavors. You really want all your hard work to pay off...monetarily and fulfilling. Just wait for it.
What you hope and dream for will come. What's in your heart, you will receive. Patience takes practice and practice makes perfect. Just wait for it...you don't really have much choice.
It's beautiful to be you...patiently beautiful.
