We Need Each Other.

Amongst the daily lives that we all live, from our own personal focuses to the bubble that is far too easy to get involved in that is our life, it is easy to forget that we all need each other. The intricate network of close friends, family and acquaintances that make up our environment are the very reason that we all live. All of those people play a part in molding our daily existences and in turn we all play a part in molding theirs. 

Human interaction is so simple that it is easy to take for granted the power that it holds in all of our lives. 

So what are you doing with that power and how are you going to use that to make your life and the life of other's better? Who can get support from, share with, show appreciation for all they do for you? Who  can you make happy, show love to and make their lives better? 

Today, and every day..reach out and experience the people that are all around you from the ones that make big differences in your life and the casual passerbys.

We Need Each Other.

Today. What are you seeking? What are you looking for? Have you stopped dreaming and actioning on your dreams? If you did not have fear, if you completely trusted yourself..what would you find if you gave yourself the freedom to really look?

When we were young, we had no fear of dreaming. We had no fear of creating ourselves. We trusted ourselves and our imagination. We believed in our talents and abilities and even better, we trusted in what we could be if only we believed.

Now, as adults..we dream smaller, action rarely and trust our abilities so little that our dreams never stand a chance to be recognized.

So change this. Let fear go, allow yourself to really explore. What do you dream? What are your talent and abilities? Now trust yourself and believe. What will you find. Who will you be? It is never too late.

Forever On The Outside, Never Getting Inside.

Each day is a spiritual journey and the progressive world around us is almost designed to create and environment so that we forget that so easily. Be it technology, media, industry, business..we are distracted at every turn of our day and lives to place importance on the outside. Enhancing financial success, driving our energy towards dollars and cents, prestige and status. We are forever on the outside and each day that we spend our efforts on the outside, we lose touch with the inside. 

So what can you do? How can you get back in touch with your spiritual self and the natural spiritual world around you? It is as simple as 15 minutes a day. 15 minutes to unplug, 15 minutes of quiet and the opportunity to just be in touch with yourself. It may be 15 minutes of stretching, 15 minutes of taking a walk or even just 15 minutes of writing or contemplating. Whatever speaks to you and gives you the chance to think uninterupted thoughts and communicate with who you are at the core. 

Each day is a spiritual journey. Don't let one more day pass you by without getting to experience a bit of the spiritual with the journey. 

Forever On The Outside, Never Getting Inside.  

Wear Nothing But You.

Garments. Accessories. Jewelry. Adornments. Enhancements. Wardrobe. I know them all very well and intimately. I make a living from these words and personally have passion for the fun and expression that they bring while still having reverence in who we all are in our raw and natural form. 

What if you had to spend an entire day wearing nothing but yourself? No clothes to conceal. No masks to hide behind. No dyes, colors, symbols of status..just you and only you. What would you be comfortable with? What would you be proud of? What would you be embarrassed of and ashamed of? 

What do your adornments say about you and your personality. How do they represent you and can you express that same story without the aid of your props? 

So this is where you can find your voice one step at a time. Take one day, every so often and wear nothing but you..now, that doesn't mean that everyone should run around in all their naked ass glory..but more so minimize your look. Mute your colors, leave your adornments aside and just be you at your most basic. See where it takes you, see how you interact with the world and how it interacts with you. Learn, grow and gain confidence that who you are as a person is beautiful and has reason beyond what you wear. Express yourself.

Wear Nothing But You. 

Never Disappear.

How easy it is to get away from your true self. You. Organic and pure, filled with good intentions, true to yourself and talents, true to the life you were born to live and born to be. You. Easily distracted and vulnerable to your environment and your experiences. Easily changed and molded by the plans of others and the greater majority.

How are you letting factors distract you from being the you that you were meant to be? Is it your job, your friends, your family, your choices in what you find to be entertaining and leisurely? Are you giving in to negativity and letting the light in you fade away?

Take it back. Find your voice, and not just any voice..find your voice that is deep within you that wants to  represent the light and pure, compassionate, talented and loving person you are. Take it back amongst challenges, oppression, addiction, environment, circumstances and instant gratification.

Never disappear.

Step Inside.

Parameters, fences, walls, locks, barriers..they all exist for a reason. We naturally have an understanding of the lines that we are to stay in, we naturally have a respect for it. It creates order and security. Within all of us lies a sense of gratitude for the rules and boundaries that are placed in our lives while at the same time, there is a crusader dying to get out and challenge those lines, wanting to break free and start a revolution. I know that balance well for I enjoy the order of life while always wanting to push the status quo. 

However, what if we were to just for a moment step into the center of the box we are all placed in and take it in. What could be we learn, what could we all see if we were to truly sit back and experience the status quo that comes naturally with each of our situations before tearing down the walls of revolution? 

Progress is not a luxury but rather a dire necessity for the evolution of our lives and the lives of others however, before elevating and stretching the boundaries, we all must first have mastered the status quo. Learned all there is to learn at an elementary level. There are skills for us to learn emotionally, mentally, spiritually and practical in the training grounds of the status quo. 

Celebrate your status quo. Step inside those walls. Master them.. Have reverence for them. Then push them, elevate your world and the world around you. 

Step Inside. 

Hang Ups.

We all have them. We all disguise them. We all skirt around them. Hang ups. Our hang ups are so deeply rooted within ourselves that it can define our every action all in an effort to bypass the way it makes us feel to face our hang up or display it for the world to see.

So what if rather than hiding your hang ups from yourself and others, you embraced them? You nurtured that they are a part of who you are in this moment and you set it free, in turn beginning to set your self free.

Today, take that one thing that you are battling and end the battle. Raise the white flag and surrender to your hang ups.
