Excerpt From my Post: "Embracing the Unknown After College"

Here's an excerpt for a post written by me for huffingtonpost.com, Inspiration for recent College Graduates trying to find their balance again in the REAL WORLD after graduation.... :

"At some point after the "congratulations... you made it" cards and phone calls subside, you are ultimately left with your thoughts and realize that days of the hustle and bustle registering for classes, logging onto ratemyprofessor.com (to ensure that your professor was actually cool, lenient with the work, and not a power tripping creep), and making sure everything is in good standing with financial aid -- are over. Unless you're continuing straight onto graduate school but that's another story. Anyway, it may seem as though everything you were ever positively sure of is now a little fuzzy, and once again, you're a small fish in a BIG pond, left to find your way in a place you so desperately craved away from the meaningless papers and two-hour lectures, called "The Real World."

Searching Inward... Forget Outside Validation...

.  

...Way to often folks tend to seek outside validation in order to define who they are. It appears to give them confirmation of "acceptance" amongst the 'in crowd' (whoever they may be). I believe, social media also has something to do with this tremendous need of affirmation a.k.a likes.

Yeah, I know, sounds bizarre doesn't it? When did things get so complicated? (I think it started around Sconex or Myspace, Remember that?) But, this is the world we now live in and I'm afraid we've allowed this social phenomenon to blind and control us. Well, some of us. Not all. 

Does outside validation really matter? Hmm, I guess it does? But only to a certain extent. In my personal opinion. 

At the end of the day, outside validation could build you up or the lack of it can break you down. Only- if you spend your time LOOKING for it. I believe that one must  attain a strong internal foundation. It's about how well you know yourself and how confident you are in your abilities. 

Instead of looking for others to constantly build you up, I feel that people should spend more time searching inward and work on building themselves up.  

Searching inward will enable you to discover a new sense of wholeness never felt before. It allows the empowerment of feeling 'complete' on your own- without a care of what others think or say. Trust me, when I tell you, accepting YOURSELF is an indescribably delicious feeling!

Now, there are those people out there who will be defensive and say: "Oh paaahlease, I don't care what other people think about me," but are the same ones who ponder over what their followers may think if they REALLY posted that #NoFilter picture. 

Mannn, Listen to me when I tell you please- 

LIVE YOUR LIFE FEARLESSLY. BE YOURSELF. SEARCH INWARD. FIND OUT WHO YOU REALLY ARE, & ACCEPT HIM or HER. 

That's when you'll REALLY start to lead a happier and much more fulfilling life.

Just. Live. We only get to do it once.

Forget the world and their validation, because those will be the same folks hating you one day, and then jumping on your successful bandwagon the next. Always stay true to YOU!

Love,

Your Destiny is Tied to Your Relationships

Ever heard the saying: “Tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are?” Well, yes, your destiny is indeed linked to your relationships. When you surround yourself with negative and self doubtful energy, ultimately you will give off the same aura.

People can be very draining, especially if you are in the mist of excelling onto bigger heights in life; while they choose to stay stagnated. When I say “people” that pertains to the ones closest to us, such as family, lovers and friends, lets face it.

Understand, that everyone isn’t built like you, nor will they see life for it’s magnificent greatness as you do. People tend to fear what they don’t understand, which leads to their discouraging ways whether it be through their words and/or behavior, and they often don’t even realize it.

All you can do is inspire them to be great through your actions. If their smart, they’ll catch up, but unfortunately some will continue to remain in their “comfortable” situations. No matter what you may see in them. If it isn’t in them to embrace in that talent, you can’t force them. You, on the other hand, Don’t stay back… just move forward.

I’m not saying not to love them or to stop seeing them, but sometimes you have to take a step back and surround yourself with the believers and the doer’s. It is very easy to fall short by becoming a victim to your environment. If you aren’t around people who BELIEVE in striving for the best, then you too may become ‘comfortable’ by thinking that achieving ‘more’ is far fetched.

The journey leading to success is a very crucial point in your life, because you will experience many up and down days. You may even want to give up at some point, and that’s why you need people in your corner who see’s your vision, so that you all can continuously PUSH one another.

Stick close to those who will encourage and motivate you to excel higher….

Never give up!

Believe in Yourself

Have you ever sat and wondered what was your calling? I’m sure you’ve taken a look around and observed other talented people and their extraordinary output into the world. But did you ever wonder what was left in the pot for you? Doubt may weigh in heavy on your mind, and you began to think “Do I really have what it takes to move forward and do what I really want to do?” Your mind is pregnant with so many ideas, and you want to give the world a piece of you but question “How do I deliver?…How do I get the world to hear me??!” Well, as the saying goes, “Rome was not built in a day…”. Currently, things may not be moving efficiently as you like…but trust me they are. Just remain dedicated by putting lots of effort into transforming your dreams into your reality. It’s called the BUILDING process. Of course, there will be those down days where you may experience that dreadful thought of being “Good Enough”. But shoot that pessimistic voice down and continue to believe in yourself. Always, Always, ALWAYS BELIEVE in you, even if no one else does. Believing in yourself will take you on to heights further than ever expected. In life you only get back what you put out, it won’t always be easy. Don’t give up because the results aren’t visible yet. If you know that you are working hard and doing all that needs to be done to reach your level of success, then time will reward you. Time only rewards those who works along the side of it… There is only ONE YOU, I want for you to know that there will always be more left in the pot for you, just go and get it. Don’t worry about being compared to or better than others, that’s not what it’s about. Just believe in yourself, take constructive criticism in areas where needed, learn and respect the craft of others then you’ll eventually blossom beautifully into what you were meant to be. If you want it, you must have will power to stay focused and dedicated. Just BELIEVE, stay strong and GRIND HARD! -Love Bree Moore

Open Your Eyes

See, the thing is that- God plants purpose in all of us. He lets us endure different life experiences which are really testing trials to build our strength preparing us for the next phase in life. Our core foundations will be tested to see if we are truly prepared to handle and stay above the negativity out there meant to destroy us while we are in pursuit of our happiness. We need to be fully whole and spiritually in tuned with ourselves so therefore no weapon formed against us shall prosper.  The problem is though, instead of people allowing themselves to "feel" whatever pain they're feeling and looking inward to identify what they truly need to fix in order to grow & be better- they succumb to the REALITY of the situation creating fear and self doubt which hinders them from moving on to the next level in life.  So if your wondering "WHY" you keep finding yourself in the same predicament year after year not moving and consistently questioning God (for no reason - when he is clearly making you UNCOMFORTABLE for a reason!) it's because you refused to be obedient and neglected to listen and open your eyes to what he's trying to show you and tell you!!!! Uncomfortable situations is meant to get you moving... To CHANGE you- your surroundings, people, etc etc!!! God isn't punishing you he just needs you to have more faith and open your eyes !!!!!  Think about it this way: If you put your hand near fire, it will be so hot that you would instinctively pull your hand back so you won't get burnt.

On the reverse side:

God puts us in uncomfortable situations so that we can pull back from whatever that is going to 'potentially' burn us internally. But people end up burning themselves anyway.  Have Faith. Let God work. Don't question him. Just raise your hands and thank him for whatever he is about to do. His plan for us is always bigger than anything we envisioned for ourselves. Now, that's what I call love.
