Life is rarely ever predictable. The truth is: we were never guaranteed that we would have the answers for everything or feel certainty in every situation.
That’s the part of this journey’s adventure to get from where we are to where we want to be, we are required to trust, hope, and believe, and dare to blaze the trail even when the path in front of us looks near impossible.
The secret to life isn’t about knowing the future or having the perfect roadmap, but rather having faith for the future and the spirit of a pioneer. IT’S OKAY NOT TO KNOW HOW THINGS ARE GOING TO TURN OUT.
Even if the current circumstances in your life make you question how you’ll ever get to where you want to be, you have to understand that everything you are currently experiencing or have experienced has a PURPOSE. Because those previous steps BROUGHT you to where you are today, MOLDING you into the person that you are.
But remember: There are still so many moments to experience that will bring you joy and CLOSER to your DESTINY. More laughs, more books to read, more people to meet, more risks, more love, more pictures to take, more places to see and more food to taste.
Once you BELIEVE you’re worthy of having MORE, you’ll realize you have the POWER within you to BRING those things to life.
You still have time to live the life you’ve always imagined. KEEP GOING.
I hope you find yourself out there. I hope you figure out your heart. I hope you figure out your mind. I hope you learn how to be kind to yourself. I hope you learn how to embrace the journey you are on. I hope you learn how to be proud of the person you are becoming. I hope you learn how to be proud of where you are, even if it isn’t exactly where you want to be. I hope you learn to fall in love with the process, with the messiness of life and the confusion of it all.
At the end of the day, I hope you find what you’re looking for out there. I hope your life inspires you.
When obstacles arise, don’t be surprised. Don’t get stressed out or allow yourself to get lost in worry or anxiety. Instead, take a deep breath and invite wisdom into your situation with the confidence that you can and will find and create a solution. Remember: for every problem, there is a solution. But, it’s going to require hope, creativity, and faith to find it.
The hope that there’s a way out, the creativity to find a way around the problem, the faith that you strong enough to conquer the problems that you face. You got this. You are strong enough to overcome every mountain you face. There’s magic in your bones. FOR EVERY PROBLEM, THERE IS A SOLUTION.
Hope will guide you every step of the way making sure that you find your way to the other side of this moment. This is not the final stop in your journey. Take a deep breath. Look for the north star of hope, get to higher ground, you’ll see a path exists. So, choose to look for possibility even when reality shows you a dead-end.
Last but not least, remember that inside you is all the bravery and courage you need to get to the other side of this moment. DON’T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF HOPE.
Real life is so much more interesting than anything you will see on social media. So please, just put down your phone and pick up your head. Be present with the human beings you spend your time with, be present with yourself, be present with the world. Don’t forget to live because you think you’re living through your phone. Trust me when I say “real life is the feeling you get when you support your friends and see them doing the things that make their cells dance”.
Real life is 8am, wrapped within the limbs of someone who makes your stomach feel like it is buzzing with an electric kind of happiness. Real life is sitting with yourself, in all of your depth and your decay, and not distracting your mind from all that is seeking to be felt within you. Real life is gritty, it breaks you open, and it is meant to weather you in the most beautiful and meaningful ways, but you will miss all of that if you are looking down. Always choose to look up.
When obstacles arise, don’t be surprised. Don’t get stressed out or allow yourself to get lost in worry or anxiety. Instead, take a deep breath and invite wisdom into your situation with the confidence that you can and will find and create a solution.
Remember: For every problem, there is a solution. But, it’s going to require hope, creativity, and faith to find it.

If we want to achieve great things, we must be intentional to focus on the right things, even when chaos arises. If we are not intentional with our thought life, then our human nature will automatically focus on the problem rather than finding and creating solutions.
What you focus on multiplies. So undoubtedly, when you focus on your problems for too long, they will begin to feel big and overwhelming. When you allow your problems to be the loudest voice in the room, you lose sight of hope and possibility.
While it’s important to acknowledge the problems that exist, no good can evolve from focusing on your problems. It will not change your situation, make things better, or shift the atmosphere and pave the way for a breakthrough.
Here’s the good thing: the problems you face, while they may be roadblocks, they cannot keep you from the future that was intended for you. ONCE AGAIN; WHAT YOU FOCUS ON MULTIPLIES.

I hope you choose patience. Even when you are overwhelmed by unknowns. When someone cannot give you answers, when you begin to wonder why you’re here, when you simply want to give up: BE PATIENT. Some people are truly worth the wait.
I hope you choose love. Even when it would be easier to hate. When someone stirs white hot rage within you, when they insult you, when they question your worth: BE LOVING. Some people need your love more than you do. (Not my words.)
1. LIVE WITH PURPOSE: The first step to some major main character energy is to live with purpose. As the main character of your life, one of the worst possible things you can do is to let it pass you by. The goals, desires, and accomplishments you hope to see happen are up to you to work towards.
2. SET BOUNDARIES: While you’re learning to be main character in your life, you need to develop confidence and comfortability in setting boundaries with other people. You know what you want, and what’s important to you and you need to be okay with removing things and relationships that don’t allow you to maintain those.

So I just found one of the most shocking and weirdest experiments and I have to share it with you. Let me explain, in 1950 Dr. Curt Richer did a series of experiments using water buckets and rats. The first experiment richer put the rats in the buckets and fill them half way with water, although rats are good swimmers they drowned after about 15 minutes. In the second experiment richer repeated the same process and just when the rats were about to give up, the researchers took them out of the bucket, dry them off and let them rest for a few minutes. They put them back in the bucket for the second round on the second try.
How long do you think the rats lasted? Another 15 minutes or 10-5 minutes? They lasted 60 hours because the rats believe that eventually someone would rescue them. They use all their energy to keep swimming and avoid death. If HOPE got rats to swim for 60 hours, imagine the affects your beliefs have on yourself. Capacity is merely a state of mind. And faith can actually move mountains. HOPE is the key.

Become honest about personal struggles because the issues that we’ve dealt with are still taboo to talk about. Self-harm, eating disorders, addiction, and mood disorders are things people aren’t always open about. But it’s so important that someone starts talking about these issues, so that those who are struggling know that there is help out there. It is your job to be a beacon of hope.
Stand up for those who can’t yet. Give them support and strength. Every life has a purpose. Share your story and you may help someone find their own.
I hope you find the kind of happiness that exists on your own terms. I hope you truly take the time to figure out what moves you, what encourages your soul, what you deeply crave from life, and I hope you have the courage to chase that. I hope you have the courage to believe that you are deserving of everything you desire, that you are capable and worthy of curating the kind of life for yourself that sparks something within you. You have a fire inside of you I hope you never let convenience, or comfort, or the easiness of standing still put it out.
I hope you show the world what you can do with all of that passion. I hope you show the world what you can do with all of that heart. At the end of the day, I hope you find what you’re looking for out there. I HOPE YOUR LIFE INSPIRES YOU. (Not my words.)
Keep going. No matter how stuck you feel. No matter how bad things are right now. No matter how many days you’ve spent crying. No matter how hopeless and depressed you feel. No matter how many days you’ve spent wishing things were different. I promise you won’t feel this way forever. Keep going.
We can’t be positive and optimistic every day of the year, it’s natural. Sometimes our light is as bright as the sun, and sometimes it can be a little faint. It’s important to surround yourself with friends who love unconditionally. These are the people we look to when we feel that all hope is lost. True friends light up our lives and rekindle the light within us when our hope is weakened.
Good friends help you find the important things you’ve lost; Your smile, Your hope, Your courage.
If you’re having a bad day, surround yourself with friends who will let their light shine over you. At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
What is the point in being alive if you are not going to try for something? If you are not going to at least attempt to make your time here remarkable? Stop holding yourself back. Tell the person that makes your stomach ache with hope that every part of your heart is tender for them, even if you think you aren’t ready. Don’t just fantasize about your dream job, actively pursue it, and if that door is not open, knock it down. Dreaming about a new business, go for it & own yourself. Got a goal? GO, Fetch it. Buy the plane ticket, climb a mountain, swim to shred after an intense workout session, surf when it’s raining, pet your canadian warmblood horse like a sweet puppy, surprise your mates & university bitches with some butt naked snapchat streaks on a beach, let your friends tease you “Aquaman minus SUPERPOWERS”, jump the fence, kiss an angel, makeout in the middle of a concert, full throttle that AMG to 150mph cruising through Autobahn while touring cross-country with your bestfriend.
Make sure that you don’t allow your fear to hold you back. Instead, look your fear in the face and invite it to dinner, become it’s friend. Live alongside it, let it make you feel alive. Just choose impossibility. Choose risk. Choose making mistakes, new mistakes, and making memories, and making it up as you go. Just choose to embrace whatever time you do have here, stay consistent on your life path, because life is finite, and fragile, and it vanishes too quickly. Just make it worth it. Make it count. Life is fun, let it be.
You have to chase the things that ignite you. You have to do the things that bring you joy. You have to surround yourself with the people who bring you back home to yourself, with the people who respect you and embrace you in ways that make you feel like you are worthy and accepted and celebrated and loved. You have do the work to heal yourself, even when it hurts especially when it hurts, so that you do not continue to approach your life within the boundary of what is heavy within you. You have to put yourself out there, and you cannot worry about what other people think, you cannot rob yourself of experience or happiness or inspiration because you are scared of how you will be perceived. You have to be unapologetic in the way that you exist here. You have to believe that your ideas, and your hope, and your being, deserve to take up space. You have to believe that you have purpose.
Because our existence is finite. And as hard as that is to understand, as hard as that can be to connect with, from time to time remind yourself that in the most human way we are all living on borrowed time. We live as if we are promised the experiences and the potential we are chasing, we live as if we have control over what happens to us. But we don’t, and that is liberating, because it is pressing there is urgency within the lesson. It is meant to wake you up. Life is meant to be lived. (Not my words).
As you move forward, I hope you have the courage to do things differently, to be the kind of person who takes the risk, to be the kind of person who leads with their heart and shows up in their life with a ruthless dedication to learning, growing and enjoying the hell out of their moments here consistenly. DISCIPLINE & CONSISTENCY with your approach are the two tools which can empower you, make you stand out of the crowd in the race of becoming a better Human.
I hope you have the courage to never let comfort or apprehension convince you that you are better off staying still. I hope you have the courage to trust the part of yourself that knows there’s more out there for you, the part of yourself that is easy to quiet when you’re trying to live by the rules and the expectations of a world that has bred so much dissatisfaction and sadness. I hope you have the courage to trust the part of yourself that seeks freedom from those trends, from those boundaries, and I hope you have the courage to go after whatever it is that genuinely makes you want to get up in the morning. I hope you have the courage to find the things in life that ignite you and deepen your understanding of the world and those within it. I hope you have the courage to fight for a future that inspires you, even if it doesn’t look the way you thought it would. I hope you have the courage to change. I hope you have the courage to trust in the person you’re becoming. (Not my words).
Your words can be more healing than any kind of medicine. They can be more toxic than any kind of poison. They can ease a mind of its nagging questions. They can relieve a heart from its doubts. They can free a heart from the chains that keep it holding on and that make it fear letting go. They can spring hope into a deserted heart. They can shatter a soul barely holding on to the pieces that make it strong. They can be a shelter for the broken and a canon of motivation for those who need confidence. They can build mountains of confidence and build stairs to those dreams that hide above the clouds. They can dig holes into the darkest and deepest of scars. They can strike happiness into the souls in most need of it, and They can strike sadness into the souls of those most far away from it.
So, before you speak, ask yourself if your words are true. If they are not, then you are fooling the hopeless into hope that won’t last & you are also lying to yourself. You are breaking down walls temporarily that will be built even higher afterwards. Say what the truth and genuineness in your heart need to say. Say no more. Your words are equally powerful & destructive, measure it before saying something.
The hardest part about wanting something real is trying to convince everybody you’re not crazy for feeling like you deserve it. But then you realize, you don’t have to prove anything to anybody.
All you have to do is… Be patient enough to make it right. Be committed enough to make it strong. Be honest enough to make it last. Us genuine ones deserve something great, we deserve something authentic. And we reserve the right not to be impressed with the usual. It’s not about being too picky or having unrealistic expectations, it’s about knowing you’ve dealt with enough of the BS and you’ve earned the right to have a preference.
Stay true to you, even when nobody gets it. Trust your heart, even when you’re scared. Believe in love, even after you’ve been hurt. Things get better the minute we stop expecting them to be perfect. Timing is everything, so always remember: Some amazing things can happen when you mix patience with hope.
Just because I allow, stop asking shit about my past. I was badly madly in LOVE once, just once. I did that mistake. I escaped it after a huge struggle inside my own head/heart. I am the one who ended it just for ending it. It was a toxic vicious cycle. That relationship taught me; I am a way better person being single & my TRUTH is my treasure. By breaking free, I honestly walked towards my happiness. If you know me; I still mourn my dog’s demise, two days after that date I celebrate someone’s death. It made me heartless, tough & rational. I used to take long time trusting people, now I have trust issues.
I hope I answered it truthfully. It will be much better if you stop asking me about something I wanna heal & halt.
