"Every action and decision we make create an energy flow; a vibration that affect our relationship with life, self and others, positively or negatively. Thought process also vibrates and carry energy; low or high, heavy or light. The process of our thoughts become our reality, our experiences. How we react to life; to what's happening to us is also extremely important. We have free will. We have the power to change our personal truth; through positive action, positive intention, positive attitude, and positive thought process. We create the flow of our life story within our energy field. Every minute of every day we decide; high or low, heavy or light. Consciously or not we choose which way we are going, up or down. Imbalance occurs in our life because we continually fight with life and ourselves."

Food for thought!

"Spirituality is not all about giving to others. It is also about giving to the self. Loving oneself is an emotional and mental issue for a lot of people. Spirituality is all about loving oneself. Until we learn to love & accept ourselves, we cannot really love and accept others. Most people consider the word 'love' in terms of their relationship with someone else. We can't forget the most intimate relationship we have; the one with oneself. Loving ourselves is not about ego or feeling the most important person in the world. It is about being responsible for our happiness and health, so that we can be at our very best for our loved ones and others."

All healing starts with loving yourself.

"We can spend our whole life living in fear, worrying about what people think or about the future, but we can also make conscious decisions. Fear is part of life, but we get to decide how much, we have that power. The decisions that we make in every moment are either based on love or fear. Let's think about that?"

- Courageous Butterfly

"Our need for acceptance can make us feel small, stuck and invisible. Risk to express yourself. Risk in being you. Let your voice be heard. Let yourself be seen. Be you. All of you. Don't wait for anyone to tell you how to live your life. Don't wait for people's approval. There are only two choices here; love or fear. We decide how we want to live today."

 I choose love, I choose me.

I am about to enter into a new chapter in my life. I want to say to my Self, don't be afraid. Trust in your gut feelings. Life is good. Breathe each step. Breathe each moment. Move through it with confidence and trust in your heart. You have everything you need to move forward with your dream. You are good enough. You can do this. I know you can. You are ready. Think about the distance you have already walked on this earth. Let each breath guide you and remind you of your strengths, power and capacity to move mountains. You can reach the peak and become whatever your devoted heart desires.

It's time to dare greatly my friend! 
Let go of all fears, and let your divine-Self be the writer of your next chapter.

Trust. 
Believe. 
I am.
