We are all such different humans, and most work diligently to ensure that we all fit into the same mold or box.

Why?

Loneliness

Fear

Lack of confidence

Narcissism

Or maybe because we're taught it's not healthy to make a decision that feels good to us, but it's more beneficial to conform to the norm.

At the same time, there is a gaggle of us doing our best to listen to our intuition, exposing who we are meant to discover.

I have experienced a great menu of emotions as I navigated my path to self-actualization. Still, I feel grateful for being on the outside rather than being another pawn in the game of life.

I'm grateful for finding my way through the forest of anxiety I was born into and taught as a standard.

Some moments have been epic vistas that spanned further than I could see.

My exploration of life has taken me down many confusing and troublesome valleys only to offer me another hill and sometimes mountains to climb, leaving me with a bank of wisdom and knowledge to tap into when I'm ready to see, feel, listen and evolve.

The raging rivers, babbling brooks, and gentle streams that I continue to encounter, remind me that life is an endless tributary feeding my intuition to guide me through the unknown, leading me towards a bountiful pool of gratitude.

The universe is forever constant, imploring seasonal shifts allowing me to stay steady as I explore the horizon.

The sun, the moon, the planets, and the stars are more compelling than I'll ever grasp, but their power fuels embers that keep supporting me as I put one foot in front of the other.

Truth can be as wicked as we interpret it or as warm and cozy as a handmade blanket.

My choices are abundant.

My feelings are an endless bouquet.

My mind is overactive, graceful, buoyant, and bright.

My body is the vehicle that carries me daily, sometimes as awkward as a penguin and other times as gentle as a swan.

My soul enjoys singing with a symphony at times and is silent as a mouse at other times.

Today is new, with discoveries, memories to highlight, and chores to complete.

It's time to shift today into a greater tomorrow.

Because it's possible
