Good morning,

Hey guys, it’s March! Yay, I am very excited about this is a very positive month for all.

Have you ever had a dream so big you don’t even know where to start, “Yep”, that’s where most people go wrong, they’re too busy looking up at the top step and forget to even take the first step! We have come so far as a society but still lack so much, there is so much negativity and hatred out there and it can be hard to try and keep in a healthy positive state, you just have to watch the six o’clock news to want to book in a counselling session.

So, trying to have a plan or dream even in this day and age that differs to others can be hard for others to understand and they can be ruthless. I believe finding happiness in this life firstly, it’s a choice and secondly, it’s all about finding your purpose and giving back to others.

Finding your purpose is mostly discovered when a person is at their lowest point they have been in their life, but it is the most crucial thing you could ever learn as it will make you understand why we’re the way we are and also great at different things.

All those things that have happened to you were for a reason and either helped you discover your purpose or to help you get back on the right track to find your true purpose. I met a woman this week who had faced unbearable trauma in her life and she too discovered her purpose, which just so happened to be writing, she was so happy and really enjoyed writing and was quickly working away at her book, but sadly, she then changed her writing.

She stopped writing what brought her so much joy and started writing for others, she said: “I started thinking to myself, what characters would the people want, what story-lines would they want to read”.  She didn’t end up finishing her book and I find that extremely sad because it had so much potential. Sometimes we just need to get out of our own heads and stop caring what others think of you and stop trying to seek approval from those that really don’t matter at the end of the day.

Seeking approval from others has been one of my greatest flaws and I have struggled with it my whole life, that was until I started writing and since then it has taken me to a place where I really don’t care what others think of me, I realized that it’s their problem and not mine. I now refuse to take other people negativity and garbage, as it’s not mine to take on. It is a beautiful and freeing feeling when you are content in your own body and mind and finally except yourself 100%. I now see my life very differently than I use to and would so much rather be hated for being myself than be loved for being someone else.

Every time we take on other people’s negative views, or allow negativity into our minds we go one step back from the dream. I love the saying, “Like attracts like” it is so true, whatever you think, comes your way, and when you see this really happen it makes you want to be really careful about what you focus your energy on.

We all have bad days and if we allow it, all the negative energy will flood in and hit you like a storm and will leave you feeling depleted. I know it can be hard but in those days it’s really important to try and see some form of happiness and be grateful for what you do have. Life can get tough sometimes and when it does, think back to a time when you thought you couldn’t do something or you were scared and then think about how you pulled through it and achieved that goal. We all have those moments, it’s just about pulling them out of the memory bank when we need them.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, be kind to one another and please remember… You can quit your day job, just don’t ever quit your dream.
