There will be resistance to breakthrough in your life. If you want the blessing you have to reach out and grab it, it won't just fall into your lap.

..where nothing seems to be going the way I want it to, but I'm gonna keep my head up because I may not see the bigger picture right now but I know there are better plans ahead of me. There are no mistakes in life, only experiences. 

I feel like I haven't done anything 'useful' lately, or anything to better myself. Gotta start setting some new goals so I have something to work towards. And I need to find some new books to read, any suggestions?

A cure is temporary; healing is eternal. Deal with your issues once they arise, or else they will rise up like lions and kill you. 

Nothing happens without prayer. I'm going to keep declaring things into existence and stay hungry for what I want to see happen in my life and in the lives of loved ones. I will not lose passion. I will stay focused and move forward. If my goals take a thousand steps to accomplish, they'll take a thousand steps to accomplish.

Pain. Make it quick. A good meal. Savour the taste. A long day at work. Please pass faster. Spending time with loved ones. Slow down time. A suspenseful book. I want to know the end. Writing. Give me more ideas. Driving. Speed to the destination. Dreaming. Remember the details. Chores. Do more in less time. Learning. Never want to stop. Sleep. Wake up later. We want slow. We want fast. Enough is never enough. Satisfaction is short. Only the truth can satisfy.

"Create harvest in your tomorrow by sowing today."

What you see in the past determines what you see in the present. When I look back onto my past I can see that essentially every goal that I've wanted to reach was eventually accomplished, even if it wasn't in the time that I expected. This motivates me to keep aiming for the things I want and never worrying about anything, because I know that one day the future I've been contending for will become the present; the difficult will become easy and fear will become courage.

Live on the edge

What you speak has power.

Things may not always go the way I would want them to, but I have not lost vision. One lost opportunity is nothing in the long run because I know there are greater things prepared ahead of me. I'm ready for abundance. I'm not going to live in the shallow end where I only catch enough fish to get by each day, but I'm going to step into the deep end where I can't see where I'm fishing but I know that when I pull up the net it will be overflowing with a good catch. It's time to throw away all the plan B's and stick with the plan A, because I know I will win. I just need to have faith. 

Like I said before, sometimes as life races by, I need to remember to sit down and take a breather, do the things I really enjoy: reading, writing, letting my brain go off for a while, telling my type A personality to chill out for a bit and stop trying to finish more things in less time and just relax. This week is the final week of the detox part of the 90 day challenge I am doing and man, am I looking forward to the end. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy being healthy but I can't wait until I can eat guilt-free and not have to restrict myself to certain foods. Plus summer is coming up and I do want to enjoy some carbs.. Fish and chips, Belgium waffles, macarons...yikes I don't think I've broken my sugar addiction just yet. And since I'm harsh sticking to my exercise routine this year I think I can afford a few fattening foods :). Though, I have developed a major love for Trader Joe's since I've taken on this health challenge. I wish they would open one in Canada.

"Faith brings miracles, miracles do not bring faith."

I'm ready to declare things that have yet to exist. I need to ask myself, "What do I really want?" It's time to stop worrying about the small things but know that I am worthy of great things. 

On another note, sometimes I wish there were more hours in a day. But since this is not possible I am going to learn how to manage my time better and prioritize. I am going to accomplish many goals in the months to come.

"We were never made to run away from anything, we were made to face things head on."

"What we are passionate about we will focus on, what we focus on we will have power with, what we have power with we will create."

We have more power than we think. I'm ready to exercise my power to rule and create my own world. There will be no poverty spirit in my realm. 

A few things I'm excited about: starting week 2 of the 90 day challenge, a new opportunity I'm currently waiting on, relationships growing deeper, and more sunny weather.

No more yesterdays

Casual button up, denim with pocket details and white shoes = a classic comfortable spring look.
