What's Your Story?

"Everyone has a story to tell, a lesson to teach, and wisdom to share... Life is a beautiful masterpiece bound together by your experiences. Open up and share your story; become an inspiration to others. You can make a difference because you matter. You were created with purpose. Live your life with intention, go out there and make a difference by being the difference." ~Melanie Koulouris~

Good evening dear ones. Have you ever stopped to reflect on the story of your life? I mean the real story, not the one you tell yourself regularly when you look in the mirror. I'm not talking about the one you tell others either. I mean the true story of YOU. Do you look back at your accomplishments as well as your failures or do you just focus on the bad stuff? Do you give yourself kudos for how far you've come or do you compare yourself to someone else and think you should be further along?

My loves, each one of us has a purpose in this life and although we may cross paths with others following similar roads our journey is ours alone. We all have something unique to offer the world and our stories guide us to a different perspective designed to provide the wisdom we need to see the next stage. Sometimes the Universe guides us with small, subtle nudges, but if we ignore these nudges the Universe tends to smack us in the face with our next lesson. When this happens, self-reflection is a must, but it's usually a good idea to do it on a regular basis. Give yourself some grace when you see something that you feel you should have noticed sooner. We all make mistakes, and the next step isn't always obvious to us.

Take a moment to reflect on your story and give credit where credit is due. Don't just focus on the awful things life has thrown at you, remember you survived those things. Remind yourself that you are still standing and you are worthy of all the good things that have happened as well as those that will happen in the future. Share your story with someone on a similar path if you can. You never know when someone may be inspired by what you have made it through.

Be good to yourselves and each other. Spend some time looking at the stars and feeling the wind on your face. Laugh as often as you can. Be Kind, Be Peace and Be Love. Yesterday is past and tomorrow isn't promised. Live and love for today. - Live - Laugh - Love - Namaste
