Just keep on stepping, and you’ll make it through

Here’s a truth I re-learned today: The way out is always through.Through the discomfort, confusion, doubt, fear, pain, and uncertainty.Not sitting in it, not wallowing, not setting up camp in the valley.But taking just one more step, one more time.And before you know it you realize, from the other side,the squeeze was not death butContinue reading “Just keep on stepping, and you’ll make it through”

It’s all perspective baby

Why do I love taking photos, especially self-photography? Because I understand, it’s all perspective baby.

If you’re so focused on what you’re doing, you’ll miss out on who you are being

In striving for all of our dreams and goals, we get so caught up in doing first, having second and then becoming as a last resort that we forget a simple truth. We have to become the thing we’re after, and then the rest will follow. What this means is that behind every tangible goalContinue reading “If you’re so focused on what you’re doing, you’ll miss out on who you are being”

Did you know you are on one of the most popular rides in the universe? This analogy and visual came to me today and I couldn’t help but giggle. The universe is an amusement park with every ride imaginable. You got the one that goes round and round, the one that shoots you up andContinue reading “The universe is an amusement park and Earth is the most popular ride”
