You Can’t Force What Is Not Meant To Be

Nature has a way of guiding us.

Teaching us to let things be.

We can’t force anything that’s not meant to be.

Man has a way of wanting to control.

Nature shows us that we must let go of control.

There is a process of how things are.

No matter what you do, if it is not for you, it will not work.

You can try to push it.

You can try to pull it along.

But how far do you need to go, forcing what is not meant to be to try and fit where it doesn’t belong?

We all go through changes.

This is life.

Part of being human is continuous evolution.

We don’t stay the same.

So when we try to stay all and continue to do the same routines that are no longer fit for us, it’s going to become uncomfortable.

Just like wearing clothes we have grown out of.

Or working at a job that we are over qualified for, because we have taken classes to move beyond that position.

When it’s time to move on, we will feel it.

And if we continue to try to wear those clothes, or stay in that job that no longer fits us, there will be big signs that force us to move on.

Have you ever worn pants that spit up the… backside? – I have…. Not fun!

If you’re feeling pushed to move on, listen.

If you are feeling the need to find a new place in life, go for it.

We can’t stay small if we have grown bigger.

We can’t expect to fit into places that we have been working so hard to move away from.

So go.

Get out there.

Make room for your new growth.

Re-pot, re-pant, re-job, or re-locate yourself.

There is no better way to feel more comfortable than to listen to that energy and MOVE ON!

Your growth deserves energy to move.

Your new life is waiting for you.

Reflect

How often to you reflect on how far you’ve come?

Step back and remember where you were last year.

You made it here.

Bask in gratitude for you are still here, you’re still growing, you’re still fighting and the good fight.

Some things may not be as you would like them, but life is a progression.

It’s a process.

Be still and remember you are doing your best.

Keep moving forward.

It’s always good to take time to reflect on how far you’ve have come.

It helps us to find peace within the new challenges in life.

There will always be challenges, but they don’t have to overtake you.

Sit back and breathe, you’re doing a good job.

👏🏼 🌊 🤗

Breathe in Life

Life is better at the beach. 🏖️

  • Take time to take care of you.

Life blows by.

All of a sudden, it’s the next year. The next season, or the next century.

How often are you slowing down to remember what brings you joy and peace?

How often are you remembering to breathe. Not just to live, but to feel life.

Be with this moment.

Breathe in this moment.

Life goes by quickly.

Stop counting the second and the regrets.

Start counting your blessings and your breaths.

💜

Crossroads

We can chase and chase who and what we think is right for us, but we won’t ever make it there…

And it will never work.

What is right for you won’t require chasing.

What is right for you won’t require anything other than allowing.

Make it a priority to be there for yourself.

Whatever is meant for you will show up.

It won’t require you to follow a path that takes you into dark, unpaved forests.

It will show you light, just as you show up with your own light.

And when you find those people and those things in life that are meant for you,

You won’t have to wonder if they are right for you.

It will feel right.

The motions won’t feel forced,

They will feel natural.

The give and take will be balanced, naturally,

Just as the waters of the ocean are absorbed into the clouds and then rain back down to shower the earth.

You won’t have to wonder if you’re doing the right thing,

You won’t wonder if you’re supposed to feel so alone and lost in those places or with those people you chased…

You will feel balanced.

There are moments in life when we are left wondering…

Is this job right for me?

Is this friendship right for me?

Is this partner right for me?

Is this life what I want?

We are always going to meet a crossroads, with all things in life.

We must look and see what our feelers are telling us.

Is my happiness to the right?

Is it to the left?

Did I lose it somewhere on that road behind me?

Happiness is peace.

No matter which road you choose,

Happiness will always be something that you must learn to obtain on your own, from within.

Outside circumstances can show us what is aligned with us, but we ultimately choose our own happiness.

Sometimes what’s on the outside, in those surrounding areas, with people or without, is what shows us the way to the destination we feel will be most peaceful and fulfilling.

A crossroads is always a great start to a new journey.

Though, it’s not about which road to go down, each road will have challenges.

It’s about which challenges you feel you are able to take on.

Who’s your Friend

Walking into life with new perspectives…

Sometimes we wonder why we are unhappy with ourselves.

So we look back over the years to see what’s created this.

We see our friendships and relationships, or the choices we have made.

We start looking over how some people have treated us, and how we have allowed a lot of unkindness to step over the doorstep of our soul’s experience, and right into our circle of peace.

People will show you who they are.

They will literally tell you.

Sometimes in words, but other times with their actions.

It can takes years to really see who they really were.

It can also take years to see your own self.

Learning to have more kind friendships takes a lot of self-love.

It takes determination and commitment to self.

Learning that you deserve to be around people who lift you up, rather than put you down, seems like it is common sense.

Yet, sometimes we don’t realize these people are putting us down, until we take time away from everyone so we can look back and process over it all.

Looking over what people have said to us, how we feel when we are around them, and the choices we make when we are with them, are all key signs to pay attention to.

Having been through many layers of my own healing, I am really starting to learn how I FEEL matters.

Listening to my body, to my energy, to my spirit with so many different aspects of life, is beginning to make more and more sense for so many different reasons.

How do you feel when you are alone?

How do you feel in nature?

How do you feel around certain people?

Listen.

Pay attention.

It is all communicating with you.

Challenge Yourself

We have a perception of things, a way of understanding things in a certain way.

When we move away from that particular stream of thoughts we can learn to understand things in a different way.

As we move through life, some of us seek growth.

To grow, we must change the day to day, move our consciousness to different areas so we can learn to understand concepts in a different way.

This will change the way we process information, how we make decisions and how we react or even act.

Stagnant minds cannot grow.

Just like energy.

Thoughts get stuck going one way, when we have let them continue to build up momentum going down that stream of our minds.

We must move differently in order to move different muscles, so therefore we must be challenged in different ways to allow a different thought process to take place.

Getting comfortable with changes and with different challenges can allow for more peace of mind as we let go of certain patterns that we’re keeping us from even enjoying life more.

You make up the difference between your life in a state of peace or a state of discontent.

If you desire change, you must step out of that box and into the vast reality of immense possibilities there are all around you, every second of every day.

You choose.

Challenge yourself to change your mind.

You are Precious

How long as it been since you truly felt loved?

True love is the best kind of love.

Pure love.

Selfless love.

Yet, we believe it comes from outside sources.

The truest, most magical love comes from within.

Be kind to yourself.

Do good to yourself.

Love yourself in the ways you have forgotten.

Take time to care for yourself each day and become your best lover.

Find the space,

Find the time,

Devote whatever moments you can to loving yourself.

You deserve you.

Be kind to yourself today, and each day here on after.

-M.

You Can Create Peace

To live is a gift.

To be here is a gift.

Your time here matters.

Your purpose is to grow.

To learn to have peace.

Learn to have love and understanding for what you do not understand.

Let go of judgement.

Find a way to understand that your thoughts are as powerful as your words.

You have an impact on others.

Let it be positive.

  • • •

We take so much for granted.

We judge what we do not understand.

We criticize what we do not relate to.

Why not, instead, learn to have love and peace for those and what we do not understand.

We are each on our own journey.

Learning to grow, learning to heal, it is a painful and deep experience.

Instead of judgement or criticizing, even towards ourselves, learning to just have love is a more effective way to hold space for others, as well as for ourselves.

It also allows more growth, and allows us to gain more peace.

To have love means to trust that all is purposeful for the journey and the higher understanding that the Universe is in love and it’s all good.

We must not try to control or judge others, as it is not our purpose.

We also must not overly criticize ourselves as this causes much self-hate and lowers our vibration of our healing process, into a fear state.

Love raises is up.

Love heals.

Love guides.

Love is light.

Follow the lights, but understand that there is also purpose for the darkness.

Learn Patience

All things take a process.

Be easy on yourself.

Be easy on others.

Don’t force.

Don’t try to control.

Let go,

Let it be.

Growth and the process of all things is a practice of patience and trust.

Nothing can be forced or controlled into existence, that is expected to last or feel good.

Energy and expectations around love and peace will flourish when detachment of the outcome are allowed to be.

All things in life take time to become.

We must not push.

We must allow and trust that everything that is meant to be will be, in its own time.

Find your center and grow with love and peace for patience is within that truth.

-M .

Believe in Yourself

In a world that feels so overwhelming and full of fear, we can easily get lost…

Remember that you are important and your feelings and emotions are guiding you.

Trust in yourself.

Believe in your capabilities.

Believe that you are worthy.

Believe that you are good enough.

You are important.

Your presence here matters.

Believe in yourself.

– M.
