What will year 31 look and feel like for you?

It looks and feels like full dedication to ‘myself.’ I feel something in me changing already. Old habits are dying and new ones are crystallizing. I know what my dream life feels like. Now it is up to me to actualize it. I know what it will take. I now have a deep inner knowing. The only thing stopping me is not taking the required steps. I know what centers me. I know what distracts me. I am aware of what disempowers me. Now I choose. I choose better. I choose acceptance. I choose peace. I am focused. I am grounded. I am goodness. I am grace. I am free to choose every aspect of my life. I get to live my life by my own design. Each day I am building. I am sculpting. I am tending. I am nurturing. I am loving. Less doubt and more imagination. More good thoughts of the unknown and the possibilities that await. Yes, you have been through what you have been through and you have done what you have done. But there is glory in those moments too. The contrast, the teachings, and the experiences… have all uniquely molded you. You cannot say that your life is like anyone else’s and well isn’t that the point? To expand your experience? And to share that and to expand the lives of others? Yes. And now you’ve just got to trust yourself. Because I know that you think that you’ve lost yourself but I believe that who you’ve found is even better.
