Step out of your comfort zone. Embrace change. Embrace who you are. LOVE who you are!

Sometimes you just need to lie in bed and create to empty your mind... Apparently I fell asleep before I even finished typing this caption last night... Mind calming for sure haha

Sometimes it takes getting pushed off the path we were one to discover a better one. Don't be scared to get lost, you may just end up in the right direction. #temeritymovement

People sure like to hate on Mondays but I love them. They're a fresh start to the week, a chance to make new game plans, get your shit together, and push even harder than you have been. Sunday nights I like to relax and get things together for the week: Get grocery shopping done and meals thought out, get new projects started, set self-improvement game plans into motion, and get mentally prepared for the week. That way, I can hit the ground running when I wake up Monday. Since I've started beginning my weeks this way I've noticed a huge jump in my productivity and successes. So I say, "Bring it on Monday!"

2014 has been nothing like 2013 for me. I'm in a different state, hanging out with different friends, working in a different industry. My plans for the year are nothing close to what I had envisioned at the start of the year. I've possibly dealt with more personal challenges this yeas than I have in any other year. Yet, I feel stronger than I ever have. I feel like I've been able to face each issue with confidence head-on. I've had more fun in my home stats/region this year than I have my whole life, and I've immensely enjoyed my time with friends and family who I am oh-so-thankful for. I've watched my friends, my family, and myself face some terrible health challenges this year, but we've all helped each other become stronger through them. I've been working a pretty stressful job and been road-warrior-commuting like nobody's business... Yet I feel that I've been learning patience and discipline, which I've often rejected in the past. I am so grateful for these experiences and lessons. If I've learned nothing else this year, it's that things may not go as we plan, but God shows us what we need to learn if we bother to observe, listen, wait. Life is so fragile and can slip through our fingers at any instant. We must make the most of the time we have and pay attention to the lessons at hand. These lessons help us to be of value to those who may need our love, help, or patience in the future. If we can't take the time to love and grow ourselves, how can we share if with anyone else? YOU are a wonderfully and awesomely made creature holding a beautiful light within. Don't hide your light or let it be dimmed by circumstance, rather take time to hone it and let it shine brightly, inspiring others. Goodnight my friends, may you wake up rested and with fresh perspective 🌙⭐️💛

This is so true and I'm not talking romantically here. I'm talking family, friends, and coworkers. We have to look past those flaws and see the human. None of us are perfect but that's why perfect love is unconditional. Perfect love is not always easy but it's always worth it to open yourself up so vulnerably. It makes us human and alive.

Life really does give back so much, even through pain. The thing that keeps me going whenever life brings challenges is reminding myself that there are always rewards when you've made it through those challenges - sometimes it's a valuable lesson or change in thinking, sometimes it's learning how much those in your life care for you, sometimes it's a new friend or repaired relationships with old ones and family, sometimes it's payout in career or finances, but always, always, always, you'll gain greater self-respect knowing you were strong enough to make it through. Keep loving life with passion friends! It's worth it.
