Visual Quote: Love Yourself First

EVERYTHING is a gift!
Everything that has happened to you so far in life has happened FOR you. It is the combination of every single event and every single person you have met so far in life that has made you into the person you are today. You may not realize it in the moment, and it may take a very long time to find the “good” in some situations, but trust that everything that happens is for a reason — to help you grow and become the person you were meant to be. Learn to embrace each experience and situation that happens to you and view it as a gift to you and the world.
This is THE mantra that gets me through the tougher days in life. When something unfortunate happens in my life that is out of my control, I remind myself that it is a gift. And I truly DO believe it. Some of my most difficult situations have turned out to be my greatest blessings.
Eventually, when we look back on our lives, we will be able to understand the gift in each situation, no matter how unfortunate it may have seemed in the moment.
Try it now. Identify one event in your life that seemed unfortunate when it happened, but it turned out to be a blessing.
The next time something unfortunate happens that is out of your control, gently remind yourself that it is happening for a good reason and is in fact a gift. 🙂

Visual Quote: What Are You Doing For Others?
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day coming up on Monday, I am sharing one of my favorite quotes of his. I think we all have the desire to make a difference in this world, and we have an endless amount of opportunities to do that every day. Every small act of kindness we perform has the potential to make a huge difference in someone’s life.
How will YOU be the light in someone’s day today?
Visual Quote: Everything You Need Will Come to You at the PERFECT Time
This is one of my favorite mantras. I repeat this to myself often, and I truly believe in it. People sometimes ask me how I always stay so calm and relaxed and don’t worry about anything. This is the reason. There really is no need to worry about anything. Everything ALWAYS works out for the best, and everything always arrives in its own perfect timing. Our only job is to Let Go and Let God take over. What’s meant to be will happen, and if something is not meant to be, it is for a reason.
This mantra is one that is particularly on my mind this week. Tomorrow I am going for a job interview for the first time in over 17 years! But I am not worried or nervous. If I get the job, that is great! If not, then I know someone else is more suited for the job, and I will consider it a blessing because I know something else will come along for me that is an even better fit. I know everything will come to me at the PERFECT time because God is good, and I have complete trust that he takes care of those who strive to do his will.
So, the next time you are feeling nervous or anxious about anything, or you just want something NOW, just remember: EVERYTHING YOU NEED WILL COME TO YOU AT THE PERFECT TIME! 🙂
