Happy Monday You Wonderful People! How many of you have had relationships where you wished they had worked out but didn't and you aren't really sure why? Or maybe you blame your ex for everything? In those relationships, how many time did you try to control a situation, or force something to happen that just wasn't going to? And on the flip side, how many of you just simply accepted your other half 100%. With all their crazy, ups and downs, freak outs, freak ins etc., without judgement, condemnation or criticism? Almost impossible right? True, it's pretty challenging. I know I haven't been able to do that myself yet all the time. But I am practicing every day, with friends, my kids, my ex and even (maybe most importantly) with myself. It doesn't mean though, that we need to let people treat us poorly or with disrespect. You are free to walk away or remove yourself from any situation that is not good/healthy for you at any time. And don't feel bad doing that. But also don't justify it with anger or fear and harmful thoughts of the person who was acting poorly. Those things will not benefit you either. They actually may hurt you as much as staying in that place where the other person was hurting you. You have to be willing to accept nothing is in our complete control, specially when it involves other people, and that you are only responsible for yourself and your actions/reactions to things. Let go of judgement, criticism, and condemnation and exchange it for love, understanding, and forgiveness. It won't be easy at first. And you will fall short, but keep making the effort and you will get stronger and better every day. Watch your relationships blossom. Like taking care of an orchid, takes a little practice but you can do it. It starts with you! And remember, life loves you! ✌️💖🙏 #yesyoucan #dontgiveup #dontstopuntilyouwin #itsuptoyou #bethechange #bethemagic #setanexample #youarethedifference #beopenminded #beclassy #faceyourfears #usetheenergy #bossmom #bossbabe #entrepreneur #workingforit #progressisprogress #everybitcounts #todayistheday

Happy Ferocious Friday. I hope you all had a wonderful week. Who made an attempt to live more in the now these past few days? Not worrying so much about foiled plans? Just taking each moment as it comes, looking for the opportunity in that moment? Which brings me to todays quote from Eckhart Tolle. This is another way of saying you get what you give out in this world. These moments that usually pass you by while you are busy either feeling sorry for yourself that your plans failed again, or nothing seems to work out right, or getting angry because you can't believe you wasted all that time and effort; well they are gifts you let get away. Those are the moments where you could be grateful for the unexpected gift to give to another, helping them carry their bags, or maybe something as simple as holding open a door. Or maybe it's enjoying the beauty of the chaos thst surrounds you. There is far more beauty in this world than most of us are willing to see. I choose to believe everything happens for a for a greater purpose. Whether you believe in God or another higher power or simply the laws of attraction, choosing to believe that everything is working out the way it is supposed to can seem niave, but trust me, it makes a huge difference. And it really does work out the way it was meant to. So instead of being angry or feeling sorry for yourself about what you're not getting or what isn't working, think about what you can offer the world. You will get it back with interest. So think of the things you crazy most and offer those. 😉✌️💘 #motivation #success #inspiration #entrepreneur #business #quotes #love #lifestyle #successful #quoteoftheday #jessiequotes #hardwork #happiness #passion #work #grind #inspire #entrepreneurlife #goals #instagood #wealth #yesyoucan #believeinyourself #neverquit #nevertooold #bethechang #settheexample #dontstopuntilyouwin

Morning you magnificent people! I hope this Tuesday is finding you well and smiling. Most of the time after great struggle comes great reward. But of the personal kind. Not in posessions of the physical kind, but most often in an awareness about ourselves. We sometimes learn how strong we are, or how to truly finally love ourselves, or we simply become more self aware in general. If you are struggling right now, keep faith, it wont last forever and when you come out the other side you will be stronger, wiser, and may even find yourself blooming like never before. It may be hard to believe right now, I understand completely, but if I can survive and come out stronger, wiser and more self aware - anyone can. Seriously 😏✌️ #motivation #success #inspiration #entrepreneur #business #quotes #love #lifestyle #successful #quoteoftheday #jessiequotes #hardwork #happiness #passion #work #grind #inspire #entrepreneurlife #goals #instagood #wealth #yesyoucan #believeinyourself #neverquit #nevertooold #bethechang #settheexample #dontstopuntilyouwin

Happy Soulful Sunday my friends. I have been doing a lot of personal growth over the past two weeks. I have always loved listening or reading the works of Eckhart Tolle. For being the #1 most influencial spiritual leader in the world he never stops leading by example. He chooses his words wisely, he doesnt let his ego take control and he continue to shares from a place of love and understanding that myself I am only begining to understand. This week I am going to share one quote from him every day and my inspiration from it. Today it's simple really. Everytime we feel like life isn't going the way we 'think' it 'should' or how we want it to, or how we planned, we end up resisting it. We don't take the time to see the blessings that come from unexpected change, or how there is a new opportunity for something even greater than before, or how we are getting stronger, more self aware or finally learning that lesson life has been trying to teach us for sooooooo long. 😏😉 We need to learn how to use the wind of life to set our sails and know that not every course alteration is going to be a bad thing. Life can either happen to you or for you. You choose. #motivation #success #inspiration #entrepreneur #business #quotes #love #lifestyle #successful #quoteoftheday #jessiequotes #hardwork #happiness #passion #work #grind #inspire #entrepreneurlife #goals #instagood #wealth #yesyoucan #believeinyourself #neverquit #nevertooold #bethechang #settheexample #dontstopuntilyouwin

Happy Thoughtful Thursday you amazing people! Who out there is currently going through a large change in their life, work, or relationship(s)? Are you having a hard time adjusting to it? I want to challenge you today. Think of changes in your life like a fast river. Sometimes the river comes up so fast we don't see it coming, or what was once a dry waste land all of a sudden is flooded by a damn bursting somewhere. We get swept up in the current and are rushed forward without warning, and no control where it takes us. Some of us panic and freak out and do our darnedest to reach dry, (and what we think is stable ground, do to familiarity), but in our effort to fight the current and reach shore we end up almost drowning. By the time we reach safety we are exhausted and overwhelmed with negative emotions. So instead, like falling out of a boat or a raft, remember you do have a life jacket available to you, just pull on that string of faith and let it inflate. Relax on your back, put your feet up and in front of you as the current carries you away. It will be scary as hell at first, you may even get a few bumps and bruises, but ride that speeding current of the river of change and it will take you to amazing places you never thought you could go. Don't waste your energy fighting it. Let it take you. Reserve your energy so that when you finally reach the magical place it wants to take you can celebrate. And you will celebrate ;) You will feel absolutely AMAZING when you get there. I promise. You won't be the same person, surviving what you once thought you couldn't, learning you are stronger, more capable and wiser than you originally thought. And knowing that solid ground may seem safer but was slowly killing you and your passion(s) #motivation #success #inspiration #entrepreneur #business #quotes #love #lifestyle #successful #quoteoftheday #jessiequotes #hardwork #happiness #passion #work #grind #inspire #entrepreneurlife #goals #instagood #wealth #yesyoucan #believeinyourself #neverquit #nevertooold #bethechang #settheexample #dontstopuntilyouwin🏆

It’s a beautiful day to have a beautiful day. We often stop ourselves from reach in for our dreams and goals because we are afraid to leave our comfort zone, step away from what we perceive is security. But most times this is just an illusion. Nothing is promised. Not even tomorrow. So do yourself a solid, be brave and step out of that security blanket before it disappears and you have nothing to show for it. As Ms. Frizzle says, take chances, make mistakes and get messy 😉😎😜 #getupgetmoving #yesyoucan #never #dontstopuntilyouwin #nevertooold #beyourownmotivation #inspire #bethechange #startswithyou #changewhatyoucan #takeresponsibilityforyourthoughts #onestepatatime #itsalwaysanadventure

Happy Tuesday my Fantastic Facebook Friends! I hope for those who are struggling through turbulent waters, much like I have lately, don't forget to be grateful for today. It's a new day, another chance to count your blessings, acknowledge the battles you have one, the struggles you have already over come, the wisdom you have gained and the friends and family who have stuck by you through it all. Sometimes that number seems extremely low. But as I get older, much like my skin care and hair care; not to mention my gut health obsession; I have realized that quality over quantity is a MUST. So remember to be grateful for today, look towards the sun and if it's hiding behind the clouds smile bright enough to share light with others. It will come back to you. We get what we give with interest in this life. Choose good thoughts, don't focus on the negative, look for the hidden blessings in every challenge and remember, you are only as happy as you choose to think you are. ;) I hope you all have an amazing Tuesday!! #bemindful #itstartswithyou #bethechange #dontstop #dontstopuntilyouwin #setanexample #bethebestyou #bepresent #itsalwaysanadventure #itsthegoal #sethigherstandards #beyouramazingself #yeswecan #attitudeofgratitude

Good Morning my Amazing friends. Happy #TenderTuesday This quote is true and dear to me. I have been accused a lot, specially as of late because of leaving my ex several months ago; and obviously making effort to move on with my life; of being selfish. Putting myself first. Not thinking of others etc. etc. Yet one of the things I learned in my previous relationship is that you cannot change anyone if they don't want to change. Not even yourself. And it is equally true you cannot stop someone from growing or changing, even yourself. As we grow and change, or as others grow and change, we have to remember to love them for who they are. Not what we want them to be, or who they used to be. If you cannot love someone for who they are right now, well maybe that person isn't meant to be in your life right now. Or maybe there is a lesson there to be learned. Sometimes people really are just being selfish. Sometimes though, and I would say in a lot more cases than most of us give credit to, the people are just accepting they need to love themselves for who they are, just as they are, even if those closest to them refuse to. And if you think those people are not hurt simply because they are keeping their heads up and pushing forward, you are wrong. Change and growth hurts. It can hurt tremendously. But without it, we can never be better than we where yesterday. We may never reach our goals in life or our full potential. Forcing yourself to live a life you hate is the fastest way to ill health, unfulfilling relationships, seeking other sources of entertainment and escape from reality, and so many other destructive distractions. Never change who you are so others can "feel" like they still love you. That isn't love. Nor is that really you. And never make someone feel like they have to fit into your cookie cutter form in order to be worthy of your love and affection. Choose your words wisely. And stop thinking how their change effects you and see how it is helping them! Be true to you. Love others as they are. And have a terrific Tuesday! #bemindful #itstartswithyou #bethechange #dontstop #dontstopuntilyouwin #setanexample #bethebestyou #bepresent #itsalwaysanad

Happy Monday you wonderful people. It's a new week again. A new day. And best of all another day to grow, learn and make better choices than we did yesterday. Sometimes it is hard to start our day off right. Specially if we did not manage to go to bed in a good mood. Sometimes even against our best efforts things can happen that bring us down. But the fastest, and healthiest way, to change that negative feeling is to remember all you have to be grateful for. And I mean truly feel the gratitude. Close your eyes and go to that moment, place, or thing that you are grateful for. Let a smile creep accross your face, and really feel it. The less you expect in this world, the more you accept and appreciate - the more you will get. And the more you will find things just start falling into place. Make today great! Start it with thinking about all the things you are grateful for! #bemindful #itstartswithyou #bethechange #dontstop #dontstopuntilyouwin #setanexample #bethebestyou #bepresent #itsalwaysanadventure #itsthegoal #sethigherstandards #beyouramazingself #bethechange #yeswecan #attitudeofgratitude

Morning you amazing people! Happy Thursday everyone! Who is excited for another day to take action towards their goals and visions? I am loving today. Today something is on my heart that can create a lot of controversy amongst friends and family as you grow and and start to make changes to yourself and your life. They will accuse you of being selfish and putting yourself first. They may even go as far as to deliberately put you and your goals down every time they see you. They do this because it threatens them. Either they are worried you will succeed and leave them behind, or they may be jealous, or they may simply be offended by your new found positivity. This is when we have to make some hard choices. Sometimes, specially if your goals are big and require you to keep growing personally, you will have to set boundaries that may end up making some people leave your life. Others you may have to make the choice to see less and less. This also has to do with the things in your life that you waste time, yes waste time, doing. How many hours do you mindlessly scroll through social media, watch tv, sit and do nothing. Sometimes you really do have to force yourself to just stop the mindless unproductive activities, (we still need down time so the goal is balance here), and get up and do something. Perhaps instead of watching garbage entertainment on YouTube, you can listen to a motivational speaker, or research a topic, or listen to a TED talk. Feed your mind, feed your soul, feed your body and let go of everything that does not serve you. Soon you will fly higher than you ever could have possibly imagined. #yeswecan #lovelife #loveyourselftoday #bethechange #beyouramazingself #beyourownlight #setanexample #dontoverthinkit #yesyoucan #neverquit #dontstopuntilyouwin #itsalwaysanadventure #takeitonestepatatime #betterthanyesterday #takingcontrol #beinchargeofyourlife #takeselfresponsibility #itstartswithyou

Happy Wednesday Beautiful People! Yesterday I talked about us being the change in the world we want to see. About complaining less and doing more. Honestly the one thing I would love to see more of, in both men and women, is lifting each other up. I see so many people give up their dreams, afraid to let people see who they really are, try to conform to a popular trend or style to fit in, or worst of all, put themselves down because they feel "different" from everyone else. Now obviously true change needs to start with in ourselves. To become free of worrying about what people think and learning to love and accept ourselves in our full original form. However, how much easier would that be if more of us spent our time lifting each other up each day, instead of making assumptions based on little to no facts, judging, condemning and then voicing those opinions. I would like to challenge you all to make an extra effort today to lift one or two people up. Even if they are strangers. Give someone a compliment on their hair, their manners, acknowledge if they just went out of their way to make someone smile, or simply wish them a great day. Recently I heard a friend tell the store clerk as they were leaving, "Thank you sir, I appreciate you." It really struck me. Those last three words. When was the last time you told someone, even the stranger pumping your gas, or serving your food, "I appreciate you."? It's the truth though isn't it? I mean I really appreciate those people and the work they do. We should tell them more often. ;) #happywednesday #getupgetmoving #yesyoucan #never #dontstopuntilyouwin #nevertooold #beyourownmotivation #inspire #bethechange #startswithyou #changewhatyoucan #takeresponsibilityforyourthoughts #onestepatatime #itsalwaysanadventure

Morning you Amazing People! This is something I have often argued with myself over? Have you? Have you ever contemplated if the risk was worth the possible loss. Is it going to be a waste of your time? Sometimes it is obvious as the nose on our faces that some risks are not worth it. But the ones that leave us wondering, what if I had done that? Well those ones we never know unless we try. It's another new week of the New Year, what risks are you willing to take to change your future. Nothing will change if you don't do different things, think different things, try new things. Sometimes you will try things and wish you had never done it ;) Other times you will feel like you could have taken or left it. But then you will have times that will be sooo worth it. Worth all the times you tried something new or took a risk and thought it hadn't been worth it. Sometimes it only takes one amazing moment to make EVERYTHING worth it. So as you continue on in the new year I challenge you to pull on your big kid undies, grab a cape of courage and push yourself to do something that you have been sitting on the fence about, not feeling if it was worth the risk, and just do it! As Miss Frizzle says, "Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!" ;) :D And make this week count! Don't watch it pass you buy from your couch! #yesyoucan #keepgoingforward #keepingitreal #lifegoals❤️ #itsalwaysanadventure #headupwingsout #beyourownlight #beyouramazingself #growing #eyeontheprize #focusonwhatmatters #focusonthegoal #focusonwhatyouwant #bossmom #breakoldbadhabits #bossbabe #entrepreneurs #itsnotwhereyouare #itswhereyouregoing #neverquit #dontstopbelieving #dontstopuntilyouwin 💖

Happy Friday Everyone! Just your friendly reminder that you are the only thing stopping you from thinking happy thoughts, focusing on the good things in your day, or stopping yourself from enjoying the little things to the fullest. Like that first sip of hot coffee or tea, or the sun hitting your face, or a warm smile shared between people. What you focus on creates your reality. Reality is all perception and very individual. Just like you perceive yourself a certain, and others will see you totally differently. It is based on our thoughts, experiences and ego. A great goal is to eliminate all thoughts that are warping our perception of the world around us and simply live each moment without any judgements or preconceived notions; but that takes a lot of practice. So for now simply just take control of what you can. Your thoughts. Changing your thoughts will honestly change your entire world. Hold yourself accountable, up your expectation of yourself, make yourself make better choices. Yes you can. I repeat, YES YOU CAN! So before you go out this weekend and get wasted on whatever vice is your choice, try to create a day that is wonderful, one you are excited to live so you don't feel the desire to escape your reality or hide from it. And even if it's just one day a week for now, I challenge you to keep doing it. Learn how to get high on life before you dull all your senses. You may find life is a lot more enjoyable than hiding from it once you start changing your thoughts ;) #itstheweekend #enjoy #begrateful #smile😊 #bethebestyou #beyourownlight #bethechange #dontstopuntilyouwin #itsuptoyou #yeswecan #loveyourself #betterfuture #betterthanyesterday

Happy Soulful Sunday my friends! 😊✌️💘 I hope you had an amazing weekend. I have to say mine was pretty relaxing. Honestly can’t remember the last time I felt so rested and at peace. I am looking forward to a great week. My daughter is loving her new school, I have been researching local places to volunteer. I am excited to make new friends and meet people in my community. As the new week begins, how we enter it matters. Be careful what you fill your cup with. We not only attract the things/situations we most think about but we subconciously create them ourselves most of the time. The mind can’t help want to create what we focus the most on. I am not saying don't be prepared for the worst. I mean it pays sometimes to be prepared. Like driving in the winter here up North. I like to keep a couple candles, a blanket, small shovel and booster cables in my trunk. Just in case. But what I don't do, is constantly imagine myself breaking down or getting caught in a blizzard. I put my box of supplies in my trunk and make a note to forget all about it, unless I need it. We can be smart and still be positive 😏😉 So before your work week starts spend the rest of the day doing things and thinking things that are going to fill your cup with all the wonderful things you want to happen this week. And consciously make and effort to not dwelling on your fears and worries. They aren't happening right now anyways... Why choose to stress yourself out. 🤔 Make a plan, be prepared but focus on the good! And remember, be flexible in the how. It's not always the goal, most of the time its journey getting there.😉 And have a wonder #Soulfulsunday! #motivation #success #inspiration #entrepreneur #business #quotes #love #lifestyle #successful #quoteoftheday #jessiequotes #hardwork #happiness #passion #work #grind #inspire #entrepreneurlife #goals #instagood #wealth #yesyoucan #believeinyourself #neverquit #nevertooold #bethechang #settheexample #dontstopuntilyouwin

Happy Saturday morning you wonderful people! Not sure what everyone is up to this weekend but it's definitely a great weekend to connect with your inner child again. Go do something silly, get a little messy, pit your worries on pause and enjoy the moment. You'll never get it again so if you have the time you may as well make it count! 😏😁😉 #besilly #havefun #letyourchildout #sharelaughs #becourageous #havefun #smileoften #foodforthesoul #letyourselfhavefun #yeswecan #bethechange #itsuptoyou #neverquit #dontstopuntilyouwin #beyouramazingself #itsagreatday #tohaveagreatday

Happy Willpower Wednesday Everyone! Hope you are having a good week so far. If not, what can you do today to make it better? Treat yourself to a bubble bath later, or go out of your way to make someone smile, maybe pay it forward today and buy the person behind you a coffee? If you didn't have a good day yesterday make sure you do what you can to change that today. Stop wishing for everything to magically adapt to you. Switch up your vibration. Watch things react differently to you. THE POWER IS YOURS! If one has the time and energy to complain about everything they want but don't have, they have enough energy to do something about it. Even if it's just something seemingly small. Personally, I try not to complain about things I don't intend to change. It just creates a negative circle of emotions. I feel the best when I make a plan of action to change the situation or thing that I am unhappy with. It definitely takes work but it feels so much better than the alternative. So dig deep, pull up your big panties and make things happen 😉🤗 #yesyoucan #bethechange #itsuptoyou #dontstopuntilyouwin #bethedifference #setanexample #choiceisyours #choosewisely #choosegoodthoughts #bethebestyou #itsinyou #makingthingshappen #takebackyourpower #dontquit #neverstopping #itsamindset #livingisloving #loveyourlife #loveyourself
