Waiting is not an option

 Write Down Your “Why’s”

Today is an important day for you and these past few days have been filled with so much that they have probably been a little bit emotional for you. Trust and understand this, these things shall pass. You are going to get to where you want to be in your life but today, today is important because you are going to write down your “why’s”

What does that mean? That means that today, you are going to ask yourself why. Why do I care? Why do I try? Why do I want to change? Why do I want a better life? Why am I doing this? Why I am trying? There are so many different “why’s” that is could take us all day so let’s narrow it down to just a couple. “Why do I want a better life?” and “Why do I want to change?” you see, everyone has a different reason for their why.

This is the part of us that makes us unique and special. This is what defines us as individuals, our logic, our reasons, our motivation, our inspiration; these all come from different sources, from different places within us.

Your “why” may or may not be the same as my “why” yet, it is the answer to that question that has brought us both together on this journey. Our reasons bind us as one to achieve the hope that we are so desperately seeking.

Today, is an important day because today, you will ask yourself the hard questions, and today you will provide the answers to them as well, this journey you are about to embark upon is an exciting one. It may not always seem like it because parts of your past will try to come to steal your joy from you.

Never forget your light, never forget your motivation, never forget the answers to your “why’s” and they will carry you through the darkness and they will bring you forth into the light.

When my world seemed like it could never turn right side up again, hope was fading into this void of empty space and time, I sat down and I wrote down the reason why I could not give up. Each day I had to remind myself why I couldn’t give up because each day, I yearned to quit.

When my motivation was at its lowest I would pull out my note to myself and I would read my “why’s” and I would remind myself all over again the reasons that I keep going.

Determine today what your reasons are and write them down. Keep them in your wallet where you can look at them whenever doubt tries to settle. Arm yourself with inspiration and you will not fail.

Today, it is important for you to take some time to enjoy the one’s you love. Your first day you spent getting yourself prepared to face your demons, and as long as you remember that, it will be a daily task for you, you will start to find yourself better prepared to face each day with a new outlook, and as a new beginning.

Now, when you are with the one’s that you love it is important not to go back into the old routine, especially if it was poisonous (meaning unhealthy and painful), what you want to remember is that the people in your life that you love, they love you back. Though they may not always know how to show it, you just have to trust that this is true and focus on building yourself up.

As you begin to build yourself, you will start to notice those around you begin to change as well. Keep in mind, that those negative thoughts that we talked about earlier, those will try to consume you at every opportunity that you allow. Remain focused on being a positive example for those in your life that you love and care about. Read More

You have just signed up and you are feeling a mixture of emotions. This is perfectly natural. Depending in the reasons you are here these emotions can vary greatly. The important thing for you though, is for you to be prepared to face your demons.

We are not talking about demons in the literal sense of the word. What we are talking about is that negative voice inside of your head that tries to spark things like hatred, revenge, vengeance, anger, fear, sorrow, and all of the emotions that one would consider to be negative emotions.

When you are prepared to face these demons you have to understand that this may not always be as easy as it may sound. There is a light within you; in fact, there is a light within all of us. Sadly, too many of us, never let it shine, because it whispers so quietly that it becomes drowned out by those demons who scream at you everything that is wrong with the world. Read More
