Now and the Unknown
When you make a conscious decision
to step outside of your comfort zone,
to challenge yourself to reach
your full potential,
you will realize you are braver,
and more capable,
than you could ever imagine.
When you have a
burning desire
to create change in your life
and act upon it,
you gain control of your destiny.
When you adapt to an
abundant mindset
and take charge of your emotions
and responses
to different situations,
you will change.
That is when you will no longer settle
for less than what you deserve,
and instead,
you work on creating opportunity.
When you consistently put yourself out there and
embrace vulnerability,
seek help,
and genuinely help others
without expecting anything in return,
you will find faith
in humanity and self-confidence.
When you
choose happiness,
accept that certain things are out of your control,
and let go of anything that no longer serves you,
you will understand your power and self-worth.
When you embrace your flaws and become your
authentic self,
you will achieve inner peace,
and self-love.
When you take a leap of faith
and trust the timing of your life,
you will understand
that everything happens for a reason.
When you encounter
adversity and failure,
but learn from your mistakes,
persist
forward or move on
from the obstacles or setbacks you face,
you will become stronger than ever before.
When you encounter difficult decisions
that will greatly impact others and yourself,
but have nobody to rely on,
you will learn
independence.
When you choose to
invest in yourself
and you choose to love a little more,
you will grow into the person you're meant to become.
When you surround yourself with those who lift you higher,
and make the effort to build these relationships,
you will be loved,
supported,
and inspired.
When you aspire to make an
impact
to change the world,
start with yourself,
then move onto one other person,
and you will see results that exceed your expectations.
When you
dream big and hustle,
always remaining on the go,
you will learn to slow down,
and that less,
is actually more.
When you are curious and open to
new experiences,
new people,
new cultures,
new perspectives,
you will learn more about others,
yourself,
and the world that you live in.
When you travel around the world and
travel alone,
you will experience incredible adventures,
trust strangers,
and ultimately,
develop your own
intuition.
When you focus on the now and not the unknown,
appreciating the little things in life,
and realizing how blessed you truly are,
you will
live life
and experience little
miracles
along the way.
And when you strive to be
bolder,
braver,
and
better,
you will become the best version of yourself.
