“This thing we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.” We all have things that don’t go quite the way we expect and we’ve all had the rug pulled out from under us but when we get back up and keep going we show our true courage and character. Life won’t always go our way – if it did, we’d miss out on chances to learn and grow. Each time we’re faced with an obstacle, a roadblock or a detour, it’s just pointing us in a new direction, quite possibly, a better one. Being open to the road ahead, with its ups and downs, is what ultimately makes our lives a success. ♥

Our ‘passion’ in life is our compass and our vehicle – it guides us and drives us. Some of us are lucky to have found our purpose for living and others continue to search but to truly live a fulfilling life, we must find what our inner self yearns to do. Finding our passion can take some experimenting, some soul searching and sometimes finding out what we DON’T like but being passionate about what we do and how we live makes every day an adventure and infuses us with light and energy. It’s unique to each of us and truly why we’re all here. ♥
Life seems to play favorites but if we choose to see life as a comparison we’re creating lack. Life is actually abundant and we all can have amazing lives if we choose to acknowledge our gifts and stop comparing what we have to others. If we lived on an island with no outside communication we’d revel in the morning sun and the nature surrounding us. We’d feel like our lives were magical. Abundance isn’t about having more, it’s about appreciating all the amazing things we have. When we accept that, we all become the favored. How great is that? :)
