All you need is a spark!
What I would
like to convey to you today is that it is these small yet meaningful moments in
our lives that change us, for better or for worse. What I want you to
understand is that it is for you to choose what happens next.
Unfortunately
bad things don’t just stop happening. As we evolve so does our state of being
along with the people we surround ourselves with. Break ups happen. Friendships end. School
gets difficult. Life happens.
The good news is
good things don’t stop happening either.
This minor detail is most times over looked, maybe because it’s easier
to recognize what’s being taken from us or maybe because we don’t always
recognize the blessing sitting right in front of us.
I’m sharing this
with you not because I think I have all the answers or because my journey is
done. I’m still growing, messing up and getting up again. I share this with you
because I don’t want you to get discouraged when something doesn’t exactly go
as planned.
Queen, don’t get in the way of your own
blessings. Welcome them when they come because the
only thing in life that is constant is change.
So when the opportunity presents itself for you to get back up and try
again. Take it.
You owe it to
yourself to have the best life possible. Not only because you deserve it but
because you fell and got back up too many times not to receive the life you’ve
worked so hard for.
Yesterday my bff
brought a sunflower to my job. A couple of the leaves were dying and some of
the petals were droopy. But the stems were still a bright green and it was
covered with small little flower buds ready to blossom in a week or two.
For a moment she
plead her case about how beautiful it was when she bought it, it just got a
little too much sun. But for me…….it was perfect.
What I mean is
that just like my new flower , everything in life has its good and its bad. And
sometimes the good even has a little bit of bad and that’s okay because the
best things in life don’t come easy. Great things take time, hard work and dedication.
This is how I
want you to look at or journey queen. Some days are going to suck and we’re
just gonna wanna eat ice cream and watch scandal. (btw this is a great way to
escape a bad day just make sure you drink a lot of water lol) Other days we’ll
wanna get dressed up and go out just
because we can.
The point is, no
matter what, you’ll be okay. At the beginning of the summer, a very good friend
of mine sent me a long email and at the end of it she said “We all struggle, but it's your recovery that defines
you.”
So
when those bad days come queen welcome them with a fabulous hair flip and the
idea that no matter what tomorrow will be a better day. Because after all, this
is our journey and were never giving up. Stay strong!
