If it is morning where you are, rise and shine…and I mean SHINE!

There is no better time than today to focus on a new you. Inside, you already have a wealth of knowledge, emotion, aptitude, skills, qualities, and interests that make you the most unique person on the planet!

Be inspired to continue on a journey that makes sense to you, and if you are still struggling to understand exactly what that is, that is okay. Keep trying new things until you find the right fit. Enjoy the experience along the way.

Just remember, be YOU.

It is easy to want to follow the pack. It is less stressful and less demanding when you simply follow what others say and do and try to be the same. I did that for years, too, and I could never figure out why I did not feel fulfilled. What I did not realize is that I was holding back on my potential and denying myself the opportunity to feel a true sense of purpose. When I finally decided that the calling inside of me was strong enough, I broke through the ordinary and the usual, finally to realize how extraordinary WE ALL ARE. 

I found that my passion for using martial art philosophies in life meant that I was a happier, more fulfilled person. I looked back on all the times I used a martial art attribute, like patience, integrity, and focus to overcome tremendous obstacles in my life. It all started to make sense. That catapulted me into my creative endeavors and writing about these experiences and life lessons. I didn’t realize until I tried to hone my unique self, that my writing, martial arts, music, and positivity would impact others in so many ways.

And, you do not know how YOU impact others through your words and actions, either. When you finally realize that you truly matter and that your gifts are special and unique, your whole perspective shifts.

Today, SHINE! You are as bright as a star, and you know that of all the millions of stars, no two are exactly alike, but they are all amazing, bright and beautiful.

xoxo

Andrea
