Don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks about you. Give a fuck what you think about yourself.
Be kind. Even if you don’t want to.
Breathe. Meditate. Be still. Pause. Quiet your mind. You will be able to hear your intuition. Your intuition is always guiding you.
Be patient. It takes time to align the things that you desire. Especially if they are to be sustainable.
People will come into your life for a season. That’s ok.
Treasure your true friendships. The ones that know you for you!! Especially the ones that know where the bodies are buried.
If it feels to heavy to carry. Let it go.
Invest in a good skin care routine. Don’t stick needles in your face. Wash off your makeup at night and get facials often.
There are miracles all around us. You will have to be present to notice them.
Once someone touches your heart. You will always have love for them.
You can forgive without resolve.
Invest early and often. Get the 401k. Money market accounts, life insurance and real estate. Don’t spend money on dumb shit.
Repeat after me...Yes you can!!!
If you want something bad enough and it’s with good intent. The universe will align you with it as long as you get out of your own way. Be patient
