You are Hope and Love and Pure Light 

You were meant for this life! Look at your heart, it has touched darkness but still welcomed the light. There’s a part of you that refuses to kneel, refuses to accept that this is all there is to life. You are hope and love and pure light. 💡 Follow your heart, it knows the way. The universe misses the way you used to smile. Come on back home to the truth and the beauty of who you were meant to be.

The truth whispered

Down from where the wild things

Dances. At night it held on to

All the light and wait for you to

Touch the darkness, to lend to them

Your beautiful sight.

10 Positive Affirmations to Slow Down and Repeat Each Day

Peace and serenity are everywhere, slow down and let it find you.

As we watch the year pass by, we can’t help but notice that everything is changing and moving at a faster pace. We get carried along in the chaotic hustle of everyday living, without a moment to slow down and let our mind and body rest. Today I want to share ten positive affirmation that we can repeat each day to help calm our minds and help us slow down and focus on where we are, and also, to give our soul time to get caught up with our mind and body.

  1. I am enough for whatever situation comes my way.
  2. I belong in this space; I am grateful to be here.
  3. I believe in myself and my abilities.
  4. I cultivate and create my own happiness. 
  5. My dreams and desires are valid.
  6. I appreciate and love myself exactly as I am, without judgment.
  7. My life is overflowing with goodness and grace.
  8. I am open to all opportunities; I am powerful and capable.
  9. I am beautiful just the way I am.
  10. My destiny is in my hands.

Restoration

It’s time to heal from all the destruction you’ve been through. Closed the door and be still, let peace enter your soul. Walk away if you can, respond differently, change your surroundings, speak up for yourself, do whatever it takes to move forward. You only have one chance at living, start making your own choices and live the life God intended for you to live. Start today!

I Am Learning To Trust Myself Again

We are all imperfect, and no matter how hard we try, sometimes life will bring us to our knees. So the choice is ours, to get back up and keep living, keep dreaming and fulfilling our destiny.

Trust the journey, have faith in the little things. What you tell yourself matters, the affirmations and love that you give away to others are great; but remember to give some back to yourself as well.

Think about where you are going.

Where do you want to end up?

What is your purpose?

Choose the path that represent your heart.

Embrace your uniqueness and your strength.

This poem is about learning to trust yourself again. I hope you some comfort and insight in these words.

I am learning

How to trust myself

How to let go

Of the things I can’t control

I am growing

I am capable

I deserve all the love

In this world

I will not settle

I will no longer beg

For what is rightfully mine

I will open my heart

To feel deeply

To nourish the space where

Discontentment lives

I will fill my soul with

Goodness

I belong here

In the breath and longing

Of this glorious life

.

With Gratitude!

There’s Power in The Knowledge of Who We Are

The space between self-doubt and self-confidence is full of passion and desires

Sometimes we are the only thing holding us back. The space between self-doubt and self-confidence is full of passion and desires. We are capable of rising above the harsh realities of life, seeing things from new and exciting perspectives and curating a life worthy of our best efforts. Our potential is locked up in the circumstances that binds us to our pattern of living.

Our lives become a mundane cycle of doing and repeating, living inside a box, self-created and destructive. For some this is the norm, the brutal reality that life is trivial, and change is stagnant. Others find ways to tap into a reservoir of emotion, passion and creativity and live at their full potential.

I know, it’s easier said than done. life is different for everyone. The baggage we carry are often heavy, the pain we feel blind us to the reality that we are warriors, and what lies ahead is so much greater than what we’ve been through.

There’s power in the knowledge of who we are, and once we discover our purpose, we will see that our life, no matter how small and fragile, matters. it’s what we tell ourselves, actually; it’s what we’ve accepted that is killing our dreams.

This part of life is hard

We take without giving

We speak without thinking

We walk away

And forget to comfort

The brokenness in each other

We cling to unforgiveness

We brush aside

Years of sacrifice

We let go so easily

Of the good

In humanity

I hope this post helps you along your journey to live brave and hopeful.

Stay hopeful!

Embrace The Gift That You Are

Peace

I am sending you hope

And love and light and goodness

Wrap your arms around your

Beautiful wholeness

And embrace the gift that you are

You might not be feeling

Like yourself right now

But there’s a tincture of light

Behind those dark clouds

Turn your face towards the sun

And let it fill you with peace

Courage To Change

I like that

Your soul is quite

That you know

Who you are

Loving the parts

Of you that are unloveable

Embracing the scars

And the darkness

That once tormented you

You’ve found peace in chaos

And the courage

To accept change

And that is a beautiful thing

Protect Your Peace….

Remember, hold true to your beliefs, don’t let the negativity of people and the world gets into your soul. Protect your peace at all cost. Recognize that sometimes it’s best to walk away, to stay still, to not join in on the conversation. You control what you allow to get inside your bones, so choose wisely . Don’t let malice, hatred, negativity, deceit, prejudice, depression, and anger finds a home in you. ✨✨

I pray peace and love will guide your steps and order your thoughts🦋💛 ~~@paragonwords
