Wake Me Up – Aloe Blacc

As I sit in a local café pondering the right words to type on the screen, I begin thinking about why I am so concerned about how perfect the words come out.. My purpose for this blog is to help myself make sense of my personal thoughts. If you know me, you know I am a thinker and I enjoy the deep conversations that go into topics such as soul-searching and self-care. I carry my heart on my sleeve. I am a person who wants to do good for this world by helping others see the goodness in themselves. My purpose in this life is a never-ending journey and I would love to express my experiences with you, my reader. I often reflect by writing down my thoughts and I have found that once I write them on paper, it is hard for me to go back to that moment. I decided to start a blog, finally, after having an incredibly inspiring past few days. I always try to find beauty in the broken. I am human and I make mistakes, we all do. My goal in this is to give you an alternate outlook on life. I am not here to give advice necessarily but rather to express optimism and ideas in ways you haven’t considered before.

To keep my introduction simple, I will begin with the best piece of advice I could have ever been given.

“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle of their own, always be kind”

– My beautiful mother

This advice along with the title of my blog bring me joy and purpose.

“Look at what is broken and find the beauty there”

I have been blessed in more ways than I realize and I am grateful to be in this place of my life now, living beautifully and free of worry. I have faith, hope, family, love, optimism, joy and so much more.  I have become truly alive over the past year. I have awaken into a world with no limitations. My pursuit and goals drive me daily. I have made the choice to better myself from the inside out. I have the power when choosing how I want a situation to affect me. If I wake up in the morning and choose to think about something positive, my day tends to be more positive. It just makes sense.

 These are some of my favorite words that I try to use in my every day life..

Inspiration – being mentally stimulated to do or feel something creative.

Empowerment – to inspire, feel confident, determined and motivated.

Motivation – the general desire or willingness of someone to do something.

Encouragement – the action of giving someone support, confidence, or hope.

Worth – the level at which someone or something deserves to be valued.

Self-confidence – a feeling of trust in one’s abilities, qualities, and judgment.

Admiration – worthy of respect and warm approval.

Passion – strong and barely controllable emotion.

At the end of each of my entries I will leave you with either a statement or question to think about..

 Whether with someone or alone.. In those glimpses when you love and accept yourself totally, the world around you changes.. In the end, happiness is a choice.. Isn’t it?
