my favorite quotes x 2

"I love this spot. It’s like heaven, right here on earth. Maybe that’s what heaven is. Maybe we go through life collecting people and places we love, and they become our heaven."

- - - - - -

take a moment, take it all in. this place is your place. this time is your time. enjoy everything you have, learn that nothing should be taken for granted. let this be your heaven. 

Drop The Control?

Let go of control. Let go of expectation. Let go of that to do list. 

Just let go. 

&

Simply be.

Live in the flow of life. Let things happen, and adapt when they do. If that is hard for you, take this as a challenge, and overcome it (New Years resolution anyone?). Do not try to control every situation. Do not expect a certain outcome. The things in our life happen for a reason and we must learn to accept that. We must learn how to see each situation for what it is. To be present in the moment. Work with what we are given. 

If you do this, you live life more freely, more full of love. 

You understand that life just is, and it will happen whether we try to control it or not....so why add the stress of assumption? 

Let life flow through you, let love come in. 

Let go, let go, let go. This world is filled with light and happiness - if you are to control anything, make it the conscious decision to be happy. Your soul is stronger than you think and you have the power within you to choose happiness. To choose to make the best of every situation. 

I invite you to go out and do just that. Let go of control. Simply let life be, live in the flow of it, and accept all that is. See the beauty all around you. 

Relish in the happiness of this unconditionally loving universe.

Rules for Happiness

5 Simple Rules for Happiness:

1. Free your heart from hatred.

2. Free your mind from worries

3. Live Simply.

4. Give More.

5. Expect Less.

The one that hits home for me the most is 'free your mind from worries.' I find myself so worried lately, and I can't understand why. I never used to be like this, life used to be so light, and now it feels heavy. 

I worry about my parents wellness, about my younger brother driving, about my sister, I worry about my work, am I making a difference? 

I need to learn to just let go of these worries. To let go and live life fully. To shake my anxiety off and find happiness and joy. I have the power within me to make the conscious decision to let go of these worries, to know that everything happens for a reason, and my family and friends are safe. 

One of my goals for 2014 is to find the lightness in life once again. And I know that I will be able to! Whatever you set your mind to you can accomplish! Just be happy :) 

cherish the earth

We live in a beautiful world filled with infinite possibilities

Open your eyes, let go of your fears, take the leap

Trust in the universe

The earth is a part of you as much as you are a part of it

Cherish the ground you walk upon

And know that life will always take you where you are meant to be

the yumminess of life

I say yes. 

I relish in the yumminess of this beautiful life. 

I toast the universe for surrounding me with beautiful experiences and beautiful beings.

Life simply is, delicious. 

Because I say yes, I am open to receive all the good things that this world offers. 

I say yes & I give thanks.
