"Smile Everyday" Day59 "foundation" In order for you to build anything, you need a foundation. It needs to be strong. It needs to be grounded. It needs to be solid. Your foundation is your self love. Love yourself. Be your own best friend and the best supporter. Stand up for yourself. Practice your self love. Others can't hurt you when you love yourself so deeply. Others hurt you because of your expectations and hopes for them. Work on your foundation, the self love. Then you will grow. You will shine. You will soar.

"Smile Everyday" Day58 "believe in yourself" We doubt ourselves. So much more than we should. We doubt our decisions so much because we worry about how other ppl think of us. Don't. People will judge you regardless. And they are entitled to have their opinions. But they will never be able to fill your shoes. You are your own person. And you are amazing. Believe in yourself. You got this. #lovelivelife #lovehopefaith #sunnywithachanceofrain #smileeveryday #godisgreat #happiness #blessing #dreamscometrue #mindfulness #anythingispossible #inspiration #youareworthit #youareenough #nevergiveup #beingpositive #nowisthebesttime #love #loveandlight #loveiseverything #namaste #yogalove #yogaeverydamnday

"Smile Everyday" Day57 "surrender" we make plans. We expect things to go a certain way or the way we want it to be. But guess what, our life doesn't work that way. We have set backs and unexpected events. We have our obstacles. And we have to surrender to that. We have to be ok with things not going the way we want it to be. And be compassionate to yourself when that happens. Surrender because the life knows better than us, because our life shouldn't go as we planed or as we expected. It should be better. It will be so much bettef than you expected it to be.

"Smile Everyday" Day56 "Sparks" You are the only sparkle you need in your life. We can all shine together. But you don't need others to make you bright or shine for you. Your sparkles have always been there, right within you. Maybe some days might be brighter than others. But it's always there, even the days that you think it no longer exists. Ignite the spark within. Be your own light. You're beautiful. "You have to find what sparks a light in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world." - Oprah Winfrey #lovelivelife #lovehopefaith #sunnywithachanceofrain #smileeveryday #godisgreat #blessing #happiness #mindfulness #anythingispossible #nevergiveup #beingpositive #miraclemagnet #dreamscometrue #inspiration #love #loveandlight #loveiseverything #youareenough #youareworthit #BEYOU #nowisthebesttime #namaste #yogalove #yogaeverydamnday

"Smile Everyday" Day55 "original" You are one of a kind. The one and the only. Nobody can replace you. Nobody can change who you are. Nothing can stop you from doing what you are created to do. You are YOU. Since the moment you came into this World, you've always been perfect, perfectly IMPERFECT. You can't be anyone else either. You can't please everyone. You can't be liked by everyone. So why do you even try? You don't need to pretend. You don't need to play a part, or parts. You don't need to be scared. You are original. Be you. Be true to who you are.

"Smile Everyday" Day54 "calling" what is your calling? Some already know, some struggle to find. Some keep searching till their last day and never even find out. But when you know, you will know. And when that happens, do the best you can to make the most out of it . Live your life the fullest. Unleash your true self. Enjoy every moment.

Say yes, then you witness the miracles

The only reason we stress is something is happening that we decided should not be happening. It is not the circumstance that is the problem. It is our resistance to it.

Kyle Cease

Last night, I went to see Kyle Cease's show "Evolving Out Loud".  It was amazing. "Amazing" might not even be a sufficient word to describe this event. I just loved every moment of it.

So, the whole miracle happened in the morning. I wasn't even aware of this event. A beautiful friend texted me and she said "Someone cancelled the plan, if you wanna go see the show with us,  the ticket is yours. And we're also meeting up for a dinner before hand. ". Old me would say "NO", or "I won't be able to make it to the dinner, but will join you for a show". I met her pretty recently and don't know her quit well yet. I would probably start feeling awkward and feeling the need to "fill" the awkward silence. So I wasn't gonna say yes. But something in me called me out. "hey, that's your old pattern. Start saying yes NOW". So, I said yes. Boy am I glad that I said yes. Group of us had an amazing conversation about spirituality and growing as a person, about "The Untethered Soul", etc.. I was able to connect with them so easily. That surprised me.

So, the show started. To be honest, I had no idea who he was or what this show was about. But within 3 minutes, I knew I was in the right place. It was all about transformation, being in the moment, becoming authentic you, being the amazing vessel that you are... My mind was completely blown away. 2 things stuck with me the most.

1) Your heart is never broken. Only your expectation gets broken.

Wow. That's true. Because we put expectations on others and results.. things are not in our control. We are not in charge of how others feel or how others make decisions. We are not. We are not in control of how they should treat you or how they should respect you. Their reaction and feelings for you is theirs and theirs only. You are not saying in that. But we do build expectations don't we? We expect people to know how you are feeling without telling them. You expect the certain results to happen at the certain time. You expect certain response or the words from others and you get upset when you don't get what you want. "Why can't you understand me"? Well, you didn't explained what you want in the first place. They are not you. Why not tell them what you want? Or just tell the Universe what you want. It must be the theme of the past few days. "ask and it shall be given". you see, in order for you to get something, first you have to ASK for it. You have to be bold enough to ask for what you want. How often do you ask what you want? We often limit ourselves. We often see ourself us unworthy. But we are not. We are worthy. We are worthy of being happy and being loved, and being successful. And there's a second part. Once you ask, you have to let go. You have to let it go. You have to act as if it has already happened. You have to trust that it's already in the process of manifesting. You have to KNOW that it's happening. You have to FEEL that it's happening. Part of the conversation I had with a friend was exactly about that. He said he doesn't like the saying "fake it till you make it". To be honest, I had resistance towards it too. Faking it doesn't seem right to me. It made me aware even more that whatever it is that I wanted, I actually don't have it. I wasn't in alignment with that. But the expectation is there. I expect the thing to happen. I expect to get the certain thing. But as long as I was "faking" it, I wasn't completely in alignment with that. So, I still had the expectation within me. The moment you are in alignment with what you want, without any awareness of lack of it, you'll be free from the expectation. Because you already know it's in process. You already know that it's happening. So you don't have to worry about how or when that's going to happen.

2)When everything is about giving, you have unlimited resources

I believe that we are all the vessels to the Universe's greater good. The more we evolve as who we are, the more we are true to who we are, the more we are committed to our purpose, the better the Universe gets. Think about the popcorns. When we are born into this world, we were the corns before being popped. But the moment we pop them, the whole thing changes. right? The tiny corns are popped and become bigger and lighter and delicious. The whole container expand as well. The Universe is like that. we are the tiny corns expanding the Universe's unlimited possibilities. The thing is that when it's just about the tiny piece of corn, it doesn't really do anything. There's no excitement. There's no sounds. There's no change in the container. Because it's all about the tiny piece of the corn. Share your gifts with the Universe. Give more, just because you can. The more you give, the more the Universe wants to bless you. After all, we are not gonna be able to survive alone. There's just no way. Absolutely no way we can survive on our own and there's no way we should.

One of the audience, say Micheal,  were pulled up on the stage to interact with him for maybe half of the show. He transformed. I witnessed him transform. And it was beautiful. Towards the end of the show, Kyle had us do an exercise. "Partner up with someone you didn't come here with. Imagine that this event was a month ago. You've changed your perspectives and approach. Your life starting to transform. What happened?" Magic happened. Michael wanted to start up as an inspirational/motivational speaker, organizing events and classes. The person who he partnered up with, turned out to be someone who deeply involved with Huffington Post.

The moment you let go of the expectations and get out of your head, the whole world opens up. The moment you are true to who you are, the whole world tells you that you are on the right track. Keep evolving. Keep saying yes. Keep becoming true to who you are. Because you are amazing. You are a gift to this Universe. Don't hide. Don't be afraid. You are already enough. You are already there. Let yourself be you. You are a miracle magnet.

"Smile Everyday" Day51 "magic" Do you believe in magic? The fact that the we're here now is magical. The fact that you're reading this now is magical. This whole universe is filled with magic. I can't even begin. Our ideas and expectations are preventing us from experiencing the precious moments, and be the wonderful self that we are. Surrender and let it be. Be the love that you already are. Don't be afraid. You don't have to. "We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already." - J.K.

"Smile Everyday" Day50 "be the light" you can't see the light without knowing the darkness. You can't be kind without knowing the pain. There are always more than one side to the story, the story that you haven't heard. Be the love. Be the light and shine upon for those who need you. Be the light, by being true to who you are, by being unapologetically you, by loving yourself. "We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." -Plato #lovelivelife #lovehopefaith #sunnywithachanceofrain #smileeveryday #godisgreat #blessing #happiness #inspiration #dreamscometrue #beingpositive #anythingispossible #miraclemagnet #BEYOU #youareworthit #youareenough #love #loveandlight #loveiseverything #nowisthebesttime #mindfulness #namaste #yogalove #yogaeverydamnday

"Smile Everyday" Day49 "New Chapter" In order for a new door to open, you have to close the old one first. In order for you to receive something, first you have to get rid of the old, the things that's not serving you any more. I said bye to my job for 2 years. Clearing my locker felt weird. Saying bye to people felt weird. But i am stepping into the new chapter. Not having the exact next move might be stupid. But I trust that the Universe will take care of me. #lovelivelife #lovehopefaith #sunnywithachanceofrain #smileeveryday #godisgreat #happiness #blessing #anythingispossible #nevergiveup #dreamscometrue #beingpositive #miraclemagnet #inspiration #youareenough #youareworthit #BEYOU #love #loveandlight #loveiseverything #namaste #yogalove #yogaeverydamnday

"Smile Everyday" Day48 "how do you measure?" We all have different scales, different background, different perspectives.... You can't know how it feels to be in someone else's shoes. It doesn't mean that we can ignore other people's opinions, their values and their beliefs. It means that because we are different, we should try to understand each other even more. If you scope up ice cream with different spoon, of course you're gonna get different results. Even if you did use the same spoon, it'll still be different. It doesn't mean one tastes better than the other. You can still enjoy that ice cream. Why not do the same with your life? "Every line is the perfect length if you don't measure it." -Marty Rubin #lovelivelife #lovehopefaith #sunnywithachanceofrain #smileeveryday #godisgreat #blessing #happiness #anythingispossible #nevergiveup #beingpositive #miraclemagnet #inspiration #dreamscometrue #mindfulness #love #loveandlight #BEYOU #youareenough #youareworthit #loveiseverything #nowisthebesttime #namaste #yogalove #yogaeverydamnday

"Smile Everyday" Day47 "you are not alone" When you are sad, when you are tired.... you might feel you are alone. You have nobody to count on. You might even not wanna be around people to begin with. But when you want to disconnect with people, don't. You might need to take some time for yourself and that's very important. But don't disconnect yourself from the Universe. Fill it with love, smile and blessings. Be your own best friend. Be blessing to others. You don't have to be afraid. You're not alone. I love you. "Each person you meet is an aspect of yourself, clamoring for love."

"Smile Everyday" Day46 "live on!" Life goes on, doesn't it? No matter what happens, no matter how it happens... life goes on. Make every moment count. Every breathe you take, every steps you take, every thing you do, do it with your full expression. Do it like you'll never do it again. Enjoy that moment. Embrace it. And Do that for everything. Live on. Now is the only time you got.

"Smile Everyday" Day 45 "happy Valentine's Day!" Happy Valentine's Day♡♡♡ I love you. Whether I know you, I know of you or I've never met you, I love you. Just because. As long as you're a part of this Universe, you are a part of me, I am a part of you. We're all one. So the real question is why not love each other? Beyond unknown, beyond fear, beyond differences or even misunderstanding. I love you regardless. You are beautiful. You are love, light and divine.

"Smile Everyday" Day44 "making space" a teacher told me a great analogy. "You have a cup filled with Orange juice, but you want apple juice. In order for you to have apple juice, first you have to empty the cup to make space for it." You might even wanna clean the cup before you pour the apple juice. Right? The same thing can be said about us. We can't just hold on to what we have and want more and more. We have to create space for new things to come in, for the Universe to bring the new thing in to our life. Get rid of what doesn't serve you any more. You deserve better. "I'm choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I'm making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises."

"Smile Everyday" Day43 "don't wait" things happen for reasons. Whether if it's pleasant or not. But it happens because it was meant to happen at that exact moment for the exact reason. The Universe works in mysterious way. The ways we don't understand. If your gut is telling you to do something or say something, don't wait. If it were meant to happen, it'll happen sooner or later. If that's what you're called to do, it's just a mattet of time. Don't wait. Live now. Thrive now. "The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience."

getting out from comfort zone

“Life always begins with one step outside of your comfort zone.” 

― Shannon L. Alder

To notice your pattern is one thing. A very important step indeed. Without realizing that pattern, there's no moving forward. There might be a judgement or two as well. "How come I didn't notice this before?" "Why have I been doing that to myself?" "Why did I start building this pattern?" Questions will come up. And you might wish that you didn't discover that pattern at all to begin with.   But now that you have discovered that pattern, what's your next action? Especially, when you notice that you're just in your comfort zone for the whole time. How do you get out of it? How would you overcome the anxiety? How would you take your first step?

Next week I am leaving the day job I stayed for 2 years. I love the people I work with. they are my friends and family. The connection we built over the years were unbelievable. I have always been fortunate and blessed with my coworkers. These people taught me deeper meaning of friendship and communication. So I am very sad that I am leaving this place. However, this is something I need to do to have better life. Working at the restaurant is easy. Every place has its system and once you get it, you are good to go. I have worked in restaurant for good amount of time and I am good at what I do. But this isn't something I want to do forever. Where I work now, it has relatively steady income, which makes you comfortable. Plus the fact that I love people there made me not want to leave. Even with the dramas happening with the management, I wanted to stay for the people. Not for the company. And that's what I did. Initially when I started working, "ok 6 months, and I will be out", I said to myself. The 6 months became 2 years. I don't regret the choice I made. They taught me so much. The biggest thing I learned was that I have a power to say "NO". They offered me to become a head server long time ago. But I didn't want the extra job or the responsibility. So I said NO. I could have picked up more shifts when we were short stuff. But I said NO. Because I decided that this job won't be my priority, even though I knew that they needed people. It felt like I was being selfish. In a way I was. And old me would try to put guilty conscious on me. But I fought. "NO. I drew my line and I won't back up." I noticed that I have a power. I've always had it, just didn't know that, or afraid to use it.

Instead of 2 week notice, I gave them a month notice.  Thursday is my last day. I don't have a job lined up. I don't have any plan. It might be a stupid move, especially in NYC. But I am taking the leap of faith and promised not to go back to the restaurant job. I have to commit to do so and I want to do it. It almost feels like the week before high school graduation. I know that people would be there for me as I would for them. But not seeing them all the time brings up anxiety. Not having a steady income brings up anxiety. Committing to quit the job I am used to brings up anxiety. And I could easily fall back to the old pattern. It makes me feel like I am doing something. It makes me feel like I am not alone. It makes me feel like, I am doing ok. But the truth is, I am not. I am not reaching my full potential. I've complained how much I hated this job. I've always said that I want to get out of the restaurant job. I was holding on to the security blanket like a madness. It made me feel comfortable. It gave me a sense of security. It made me feel like I was doing something with my time. It made me feel that I am not alone. The truth is, I was hiding. I was too scared to take the action. I was too scared to feel alone. I don't know how to do anything else. So I was holding on so tight to what made me feel safe and secure. Because I was too afraid.

Whether I am ready or not, Thursday will come. And I would be leaving the job. What am I gonna do? I don't know. I have no idea. I want my headshot photography to grow. I want to "Love+Live+Life" to be founded as non-profit. I want to travel around the world. Where am I gonna start? What am I gonna do? Again, leaving the job without a plan seems irresponsible. People say "take the leap of faith and the road will appear", "KNOW that the Universe will take care of you", "Don't try to control, surrender". And I understand that. At the same time, there's a part of me, "logical" part of me, saying that "you are just being lazy. Trusting? Just work hard. Do whatever it takes to make money. Go look for a job." So, there's still a battle going on inside me. All I know is that I am committed to leave the restaurant job. It takes courage, determination, and faith. I don't know how things are gonna be. I'm sure I'd be overwhelmed by nerve and anxiety. I'd be filled with the temptation to look for a job that's more familiar and comfortable. But I have to be strong. I want to be strong. It's not gonna be easy and I am scared. So wish me luck on this new chapter in my life. I could use some encouragement and support. To not to live for your dream and your passion is the most irresponsible thing you can do to yourself. I believe in that. And it's time that I stand by what I preach. So, here it comes. A brand new chapter in my life.

Love+Hope+Faith

"Smile Everyday" Day42 "Stay Open" it's so easy to get stuck un your own way. Especially when that's all you know. The idea might not even occur that there are other ways. There are more things that you don't know that you don't know. There are things that you have no idea it exists. So why not take a chance? Stay open. The whole world is your teacher only if and when you're willing to learn. "A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open."

"Smile Everyday" Day40 "be you" Many people preach to be true to who you are nowadays. And I believe that is the most crucial thing in our life. No matter what you do. You need to be true to who you are, UNapologletically you. be true to who you are. You are amazing.

"Smile Everyday" Day 39 "little things" who are we to determine what is little and what is not? Why can't everything be just amazing? A teacher told me the other day, "replace the world LITTLE with GREAT." Instead of unqualifying yourself, belittling yourself or what's going on, replace it with gratitude and love. There's no little steps. There're just great steps. There's no small events. There are series of great events. In every moment, find some greatness. No moment is greater than the other. "The small things of life were often so much bigger than the great things . . . the trivial pleasure like cooking, one's home, little poems especially sad ones, solitary walks, funny things seen and overheard." -Barbara Pym #lovelivelife #lovehopefaith #sunnywithachanceofrain #smileeveryday #godisgreat #blessing #happiness #inspiration #dreamscometrue #nevergiveup #lifeisbeautiful #beingpositive #anythingispossible #miraclemagnet #youareworthit #youareenough #love #loveandlight #loveiseverything #mindfulness #nowisthebesttime #BEYOU #namaste #yogalove #yogaeverydamnday

"Smile Everyday" Day38 "find joy" No matter how horrible your life may seem, no matter how miserable you are, please find something that you can find joy. Even the slightest thing, the tiniest thing, it doesn't matter what it is. Find joy in your life. The fact that you can breathe, you can walk, or you can read this... Everything in life is magical and miracles, only when you choose to see it from different perspective. Make that paradigm change... the more thing you can see it/understand from the place of joy and love, the more you'll enjoy your day. Maybe you'll have that joyful moment 5minutes today. Maybe 15 minutes tomorrow. Everyday is different. Every experiences are different. Find joy.

You have to trust that things gonna work out, the Universe got your back. Trust. Because you deserve more.

"Smile Everyday" Day 36 "be bold" We all want something in life. Whether if it's small or huge, we all want what we want. The fact that the desire's there means that it was meant to manifest, at least in mt opinion. Be bold to ask what you want. Be bold to stand for what you believe in. Be bold to accept what you deserve. You deserve more than you think. The Universe wants you to have everything you want and more. It takes courage. And you ought to. "Freedom lies in being bold." -Robert Frost #lovelivelife #lovehopefaith #sunnywithachanceofrain #smileeveryday #godisgreat #beingpositive #blessing #dreamscometrue #miraclemagnet #lifeisbeautiful #mindfulness #inspiration #anythingispossible #mindfulness #BEYOU #namaste #youareworthit #youareenough #nowisthebesttime #love #loveandlight #yogalove #yogaeverydamnday #loveiseverything

"Smile Everyday" Day35 "Love Yourself" This is a MUST. You have to LOVE YOURSELF. You are the only person who will be with you till the very last moment. Loving yourself doesn't mean that you are narcicist or self observed. It means that you LOVE yourself, without any judgement, for who you are. That includes your weakness and flaws, strength and everything. Accept and embrace everything about you and who you could be, the possibility. And guess what? The Universe has so much more. More than you can possibly imagine. Don't doubt. You are perfectly imperfect, just the way you are. "Love yourself. Forgive yourself. Be true to yourself. How you treat yourself sets the standard for how others will treat you." - Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience #lovelivelife #lovehopefaith #sunnywithachanceofrain #smileeveryday #godisgreat #blessing #happiness #lifeisbeautiful #anythingispossible #inspiration #dreamscometrue #miraclemagnet #beingpositive #nevergiveup #love #loveandlight #loveiseverything #youareworthit #youareenough #mindfulness #nowisthebesttime #namaste #yogalove #yogaeverydamnday

The importance of having a community.

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” 

― Mother Teresa

I have to be honest, I am a people person by default. I love people, I love being around people, people are just so amazing in general. Yet, I have been terrified to build any actual connections. "DO NOT DEFLECT" that's a note I have been getting from my teachers constantly. I have been terrified to speak up loud in front of people, especially in a bigger group situation. It's such an irony, considering that one of my motivation is to speak at TEDtalk. I guess it's not that unusual to be afraid to speak out in public. Or to be vulnerable in general. But things are changing little by little.

At the end of the day, nobody can live alone. Whether it is an actual in-person connection or not, people are all connected to each other. There's no denial about that. But we all have learned to build walls around you. To protect ourselves from getting hurt, making mistakes, to look stupid, or to avoid admitting the truth. Whatever the reason maybe, we all have built certain walls around us, as protective mechanism. It takes courage to be completely transparent in front of other people. And to share that with others, that's a whole new level of commitment, especially if you think that people around you and you are not on the same page. Some people, you can connect more easily than the others. You know those friends you just click right away and don't really have to explain yourself. You just know how others think and have the same moral value. Those are rare connection. Whenever that happens, do not take that for granted. You have to cherish and embrace those connection. Be grateful for those people and tell them what they mean to you. The thing about us is that we assume that they know without actually communicating. NO. We have to communicate. No matter who you are or who they are, communication is the key to every relationship. Do not assume. Do not expect certain reaction or response from others. They are not you. They don't understand how or what you are thinking like you do. It's important to tell people what you want or what you want to hear. For example, you tell your parents about the promotion you got, expecting that they will congratulate you with open arms. You will get upset or frustrated if their response was "oh, finally" or "Why didn't you get it sooner?" or "You should have a job like such and such".  If that happens, instead of walking out, you could tell them how you feel, "hey, look. I worked hard for this and I would appreciate if you could celebrate this moment with me". They probably didn't know how hard you worked for this. They maybe just want what's best for you. It's important to share how you're feeling, AND what you want from others. You don't know what they are thinking or where they are coming from. You have to communicate.

Also, I am finding the great importance in having a community. It's such an important thing to have a community that you can have the support you need, and people who held you accountable for your action. I started taking C.R.E.A.T.E. Prosperity Workshop with Kristin Hanggi and Natalie Roy. These ladies are true miracle workers and I love them to death. Not only I am learning all these wonderful messages and lessons from the Universe, but these people are filled with such a beautiful soul. They are so supportive of each other and are capable of celebrating every miracles in each other's life. Each success are the proof and the testimony that everyone else's success is getting closer and closer. My accountability partner from the last week sent me this text message today. "When you succeed, everyone succeeds". It's amazing! It's so much easier to be jealous of other people's success and fall into the victim mentality. Why not me? Where's my turn? Where's my success? Instead, these people know that, again, other people's success is the sign of their own success. I am so fortunate to be in the presence of such minded people. To be able to have community like this, is such a blessing. I am learning to speak out about myself, my dreams and struggles.

When it comes to people, I am so blessed. I have met so many great people who love me, inspire me, call out on me when I'm lazy or making excuses, who push me forward.... I am nobody without the help from all these people. Even the ones that gave me sour experiences, they've taught me valuable lessons that I needed to learn. And now, I am learning these new level of human relationships. To have communities, the support system, the team.... You'll never stop learning. You will learn from others. Everybody is your teacher and as long as you have an open mind, you will never stop learning. And it's a beautiful process. I am so grateful to have so many beautiful people who I can call friends, mentors and family. Thank you for being in my life. I am learning to break out of the walls that I've build, to be ok with not being ok, to be ok to rely on people or ask help when I need. And these amazing people around me are teaching me all that. Life is taking a whole new shift again. Everyday I am learning. And it has only just began. Thank you for being amazing love, light and diving being that you are. You are truly wonderful

love, hope, faith.

"Smile Everyday" Day34 "aspiration" You are more than where you are now. This is just a passing point. Every steps you take, it appeared for you to be better, even the ones that you wish you didn't have to go through. We're aspire to do something bigger and better. And that's exactly what we ought to do. Surround yourself with things and people who will inspire you to be better. Don't limit yourself from what you can or can't do. Those aspiration was planted in you because you deserve that greatness. Don't cut yourself short. Be bold. Ask the Universe what you want. And even if it doesn't happen on your term, the Universe knows that you've taken the step on your own. "No matter who you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you've come from, you can always change, become a better version of yourself." -Madonna #lovelivelife #lovehopefaith #sunnywithachanceofrain #godisgreat #smileeveryday #lifeisbeautiful #blessing #happiness #beingpositive #dreamscometrue #nevergiveup #anythingispossible #youareworthit #youareenough #miraclemagnet #BEYOU #love #loveandlight #loveiseverything #inspiration #mindfulness #nowisthebesttime #nowisthebesttime #namaste #yoga #yogaeverydamnday
