Stress

Stress is leftover emotion and thought pent up in your body.  It needs an escape...a way out.  For your health and happiness, you must learn your natural stress relievers.  They can save your life.

Stress has a way of making it's presence known by tightening your neck or back, giving you headaches or attitudes, and pushing you to the highest levels of irritability.  Stress can also produce much more serious affects, such as those which result from strokes and heart attacks. 

It is imperative that you find an outlet.  You must seek out and find a healthy option that makes stress melt, or run, away from you.  For some, it may be cooking or fixing things.  For others, it may be meditation or prayer.  For me...it's cleaning and exercise.

Both allow me to focus on a goal and work steadily toward achieving that goal.  I can see and feel the affects of my success, which makes me feel good.  Get focused and have faith.  Be stress-free.  Find a way...you can do this!

It's beautiful to be you...simply beautiful.

Sometimes

Life can be puzzling.

Sometimes it makes you wonder why you're here.  You wonder if you should be here.  You wonder if you've done all you should or could have done with the time you've been given thus far.  You question every decision you've ever made.  You contemplate every action you've already completed.

Just as puzzling and crazy as life can be at times...sometimes it's just as fun and rewarding.  Keep pushing.  Push through the craziness.  Push through the conundrums.  Push through the confusion and chaos.  Push on until you reach your goal, your dream, or your aspirations.

No one can appreciate the reward after all your hard work better than you can.  You're worth it...keep pushing.  Sometimes you just have to.

It's beautiful to be you...simply beautiful.

Strange Things

Sometimes strange things happen in your life; things you wish you could explain, but can't.  There are times when you want answers to burning questions.  You may even feel as if you'd like all the puzzle pieces to fall into place at that very moment.  It is during these times that you must breathe deeply, trust yourself, and know that all things happen in their own time.  Relish the moments of bliss that are remiss of duties and responsibility.

It's beautiful to be you...simply beautiful.

Future

Dear Past,

I love you and appreciate all that you have helped me to become.  I respect what you've meant to me over the years.  But now it's time for me to move on. 

I won't revisit...only reflect.  I will strive to be all that my future is calling me to be.  I will love more and stress less.  You've given me endless experience --but you have no power or control over my decisions.

Best Wishes,
My Heart

Changing

Things are always changing. 

Things are changing when you notice that something is "different".  Things are changing when things aren't "how they used to be".  Things are changing when you no longer feel the same.  Things are changing when you no longer adopt or ascribe to your usual perspective of the world around you.  Things are changing when you begin to question everything.

Things are changing when you realize you've changed, you've grown, and you no longer belong where you have become comfortable.

Things are always changing.

It's beautiful to be you...simply beautiful.

It's Funny How Things Work

It's funny how the simplest things can carry the deepest meanings.  Things you overlook can deliver the most profound revelations.  People you don't know can, at times, give you the most meaningful insight about your life. Otherwise meaningless quotes can convey the most intimate perspective of your personal situations.  The smallest of kind and thoughtful gestures create the biggest smiles.

Don't, for one second, take anything that happens in your life for granted - not the people you meet, how you meet them, the places you go, or the things you experience...nothing.  Everything means something and everything has a purpose.  Therefore, when people walk away and out of your life...that has meaning too. Learn from it.
