Being together in a relationship does not have to mean that we are always side by side. What runs through the mind during a separation is significant to the threads that bind a relationship.

Reviewing what is within my control in every circumstance is an important step in being who I am. There won’t always be control but I will help to craft my reality. What I choose matters.

:Tucking discomfort away in a moment makes it easier to get by but something is missing. Though scars can be hidden beneath long hair, they still exist and are a part of who I am. It’s time to enjoy its fullness.

Make time to filter through your reactions and wisely choose what you wish to grow. Changes happen constantly and care is required to determine the root of what starts to grow. Appreciate whatever sprouts and tend to the blooms that add to your existence!

We are taught to follow certain orders and aim for perfection. We should never forget to re-evaluate ourselves on our terms and accept feedback as assistive tools. Without mistakes or external opinions, we wouldn’t continue growing with the changes. Let every review received be a time to assess yourself and figure out how you will move forward.

What we say and do is picked up by the people and universe around us. Through the myriad of thoughts and feelings, it is best to wisely choose what we project. It can mean more than the credit we give it.

Realize what you have control over in every circumstance. Listen to everything for knowledge and work with your mind for the results you desire. There is no full control but you can exercise your power,

Whatever I perceive as perfect is dependent on what I choose to think. It is my responsibility to notice the changes and choose how to grow with it. Even if imperfection is met, I can find how it perfectly fits as I focus on being who I am. Perfect is not real until I believe it is.

Fear is not something to easily turn away from, it is an intuitive signal. Fear becomes unmanageable when we don’t face and accept what is happening. I think of fear as an encouragement to grow.

A memory from thirty-two years ago that continues to remind me of the importance of knowing what I want, why and to concentrate on good intentions. I may not always get what I want but I can know that I work hard for what I want.

 Without focusing on perfection or what should be, I make a heartfelt connection with what I am doing and know that I am doing my best. How I treat my task will contribute to its result.

A situation becomes what we decide it is. Despite the ease of having knowledge to depend on, how I accept the circumstance determines its outcome. Why waste energy on pinpointing items to blame when I can choose to adapt and work with it?

Nobody always gets what they want when they want it. To better handle the emotions and feelings when I don’t get my way, it is my responsibility to make the choice that serves my inner commitment rather than holding onto what I thought should be. Only I can know the importance of my desire and control where I guide it.

Having knowledge can give me a sense of security but it is not something that must be complete while I am still learning. Choosing to not resist what I discover in order to understand a bigger picture assists me to grow with what happens. Putting past and present together for future reference, I move from what was into what is.

 To prevent myself from believing that life is against me when I meet an opposition, I pay attention to the change and concentrate on knowing myself through it. A challenge indicates something I did not consider and accepting it is my agreement to learn

 Viewing my soul as the consistent root of my person, I am grateful for its grounded values and how it held me to who I am in difficult moments. For the times I thought I needed to be something else, it saved me  by continuing to believe and guiding me to be myself.

A reflection on how I have come to view challenges that make me question my ability. I am continuously inspired to search for the ways that offer growth. I live to appreciate subtle opportunities rather than assume that I am unable.

 Coming across an old affirmation and remembering the trust and determination it helped me to build. Believing in myself and remaining open to learn with challenges is the root of my resilience.

Reflecting on dealing with adversity and how my choices shaped my life. I have grown a lot and have much to appreciate because I chose curiosity and found my enjoyment. As long as I keep recognizing the ways that I grow, I will find my way to flow.

 There is a way of reprogramming what the mind believes. A willingness to experience differently and choosing thoughts carefully will craft a new experience. Allow the learning process to take you farther than where you were.
