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.

Deeply Rooted In Yourself

Be deeply rooted…

Deeply rooted in your self-love.

Deeply rooted in your self-care.

Deeply rooted in your self-respect.

Deeply rooted in how you value yourself in all the ways.

We can find ourselves getting lost in taking care of other people, neglecting our own needs.

Work, family, friends, partners, life can take over our minds and take up our mental to do list.

We can give and give and give, but forget how we also need to receive.

We don’t necessarily need to receive from others, but we do need to receive from ourselves.

Remember to fill your own cup before filling another’s.

When you wake up, check in with yourself.

Before you go to bed, check in with yourself.

Throughout the day we can be so busy, but it’s important to remember to take time to come back to your own body, your own feelings and take a mental note on how you are feeling.

Become deeply rooted in yourself.

This life is full of distractions, but when we can remember that our needs are also important, we can find more grounding and peace.

This is how we find our balance.

You matter.

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.

My Journey

Today I may be exhausted, my eyes may have heavy bags, my adrenals might feel like cement blocks….

I have been pushing so hard.

Tutoring hours, multiples times a day, walking miles, upon miles each day, being there for my inner world needs, and my outer world needs, and for others…

This is my story.

This is my path.

As my kids tell me they love me and appreciate who I am and what I have done for them, and they see how I’ve pulled myself up from toxic relationships and many years of partying that could have resulted in my life ending…

Trying and trying to find my purpose in this life…

It is times like this that I must remind myself that I am strong.

I am capable.

Some might look at me and see my lack, or they might see me better than I see myself.

It doesn’t matter.

I am still learning to see myself through the lens of love, with taking massive steps in self-improvements and making sure I am taking time to nurture my soul.

With each breath I hope to share love and light.

With each action I hope to be kind and give gratitude for this life and the experiences within it.

With every use of my voice, I hope to express good and positive things about myself and others.

Thank you for seeing me.

Thank you for reading this and taking in all that I am and have been.

My heart is full.

This life is beyond beautiful.

💙

– M.

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 are Capable

Love Yourself Enough

You are the leader of your life.

Your feet go where your mind goes.

Travel lightly and intuitively, so that you can allow an open mind to the intentions of others.

Ask the hard questions.

Listen to their truths.

Read between the lines of their words and the energy that comes with it.

So many are here to test you.

Trust the process of healing and unfolding.

You go where your mind goes.

There is so much more goodness waiting for you, just keep going.

Believe that you are here for a purpose and trust that your boundaries will also help guide your way to where you want to be and who you should be surrounded by.

Mirror what it is that you desire for your life.

Only you can get yourself there.

Be strong in your self-love so that others can see how you know you deserve to be treated.

Leave no room for those who want to take away your power.

You are in control.

Take the reins and hold on tight.

Love yourself enough.

-M.

Remember

Unknowns

There are many different times in our life when we don’t know what’s to come.

We try so hard to plan, prepare and schedule so we are certain of all that is to come.

This gives us a sense of peace and understanding of what the future holds.

Yet, this just isn’t the natural way of things.

So when things are going on and we feel this eruption of unsettled thoughts, because there are so many unknowns, we must remember that this is normal.

We cannot know what all is to come. We must trust in the unknowns and let them unfold, like blossoms in the spring time.

We must learn to hold onto a sense of peace for the unknown.

To let the unsettling mind lead the way is to have a unraveled sense of security, and we can’t depend on our security to come from always knowing everything all the time.

That is false hope.

Learn how to let go of the need to know.

Hold onto the adventurous way of expecting to never really know what’s to come.

It can be exciting, if you let it. Our judgement and perception is what we can control.

Let it be good. let it be exciting. Life should be an adventure.

-M.
