Hope

Hope is something I’ve been channeling lately. Life will always throw us curve balls and find ways to push ourselves to tap into what’s holding us back, to ultimately shed what no longer serves us, and to reach our best selves.

But what is hope? What is hope for you?

Hope for me is knowing that I have a choice. I have a choice to walk through life happy and joyful. I have a choice to take accountability for my actions. I have a choice to walk through the discomfort and the joys and to see it’s all working out as it should. I personally don’t believe in mistakes. I don’t believe things happen to me, but happen for me.

If I change the mindset and see things happen for me, not to me, that’s way more empowering. It takes the victim mentality out and allows me to act [in any way that’s needed].

I have choices. You have choices. HOPE IS THE ABILITY TO SEE WE HAVE CHOICES, ALWAYS.

Life will always happen and it’s not always easy. In my experience, it’s truly a gift because if I didn’t have the darkness, how would I find the light? If I never experienced the light and the dark, I wouldn’t appreciate the light as much, or the dark.

The beauty in life is nothing is ever permanent. Feelings, friends, jobs, relationships, thoughts - they’re always ebbing and flowing. Sometimes fierce and sometimes gently.

LIFE GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO FEEL IT ALL AND TO HOPE AND CHOOSE HOW WE SHOW UP TODAY. WOW. That is a gift.

Just a reminder, that you’re amazing and no matter what you’re going through, or have been through, you are strong, courageous and always have choices.

I hope you see your beauty. I hope you know your greatness. I hope you know everything is happening for you, not to you.

Hope helps me stay present and believe. It’s freedom.
