Have you ever felt like everything that you are doing is full of resistance? Like wanting to cross a river, but being against the flow. Quite a challenge isn't it? Our life paths are calling if we're not on it yet; some of us will have the courage to immediately take the path that we feel right about regardless of how it looks. We will all get there, but whatever road we’re on or what we choose, we should never lose sight of our life’s purpose. Shine your light so brightly that someone in the dark sees a path out.  SHINE BRIGHT like the sun, the moon, and the stars!

In a world confused about the challenges of this pandemic; there is so much hate, aggression, blame, distress, and greed around us that it almost feels like humanity has forgotten how to be humane. What makes us human? Many of us look to change the world, yet forget the power of change within ourselves. As much as being human is complicated, it also provides us with the chance to make this world a better place.

How do we measure happiness? The enormous list of things that have made us feel elated, satisfied, joyful, excited, hyped, and all other positive emotions that seem to connect us to that one consequential feeling, happiness, seems to be the constant quest for all of us.

The power of hearing the words "You'll be ok" or "Don't worry, everything will be alright" from someone else's point of view can ignite our capacity to surpass the toughest times in our lives. Those simple yet reaffirming words may surprisingly move you from the bottom to the top, and every once in a while a random stranger makes it happen, or in my case, a clairvoyant! 

We live through life with a lot of “If Only” and if we're not careful they will hold us back to something we cannot change. Maybe instead of hanging on to them, it’s time to accept it as a token from the universe to say, “you're still here, every moment is a second chance, make it count!”.

Letting go and moving on are what most of us struggle to do. Don’t settle just because it’s your comfort zone. Take the courage to disconnect from your fears, let go, and trust in yourself that you can move on. Don’t fear the unknown, you could be pleasantly surprise to where it leads you.

Life will throw you so many curve balls and take you on the scariest roller coaster rides, but sometimes all it takes is a big Leap of Faith to be where you need to be at that exact moment and everything else falls into place.
