Know YOUR Worth…

Whether male or female, big or small, tall or short, black or white…well, you get the point…there’s nothing more important than recognizing your own worth!  I am STILL learning to fully know my own worth, but I will say that I am light years ahead of where I used to be in the personal recognition department.

It’s so easy to get caught up in your own situation, in a bad relationship, in a toxic friendship…all of which will DRAIN your spirit!  If your spirit is drained then you aren’t on point and if you aren’t on point then you will begin to settle for those instant gratification moments instead of the MAJOR life-long success moments!  I had to begin thinking of ways to make sure I wasn’t settling and it began with my RELATIONSHIPS (more in-depth, personal examples in my “Relationship” section)!  I noticed that I began to SETTLE for “love” instead of loooooooooove!  I was so wrapped up with the idea of being loved that I started to put up with any and EVERY thing that I knew I didn’t deserve.

Point. Blank.Period.  I had to begin to know what I was worth and push the baggage OUT of MY life!  I purposely began hand picking the people that I wanted in my life! People that I knew had my best interest at heart.  And I must say, for this to be the beginning of my journey…it FEELS DAMN good to take back control of DANIELLA and free up some mental space to really focus on my purpose in life!  Next stop…trial and error!

Thought: It’s better to have tried and failed then to not have tried at all!

It’s O.K. to Speak on It!!! (sometimes)

I will admit…I’m a bit of an emotional creature when it comes to expressing my feeeeeelings!  However, in my journey through life I am realizing that it’s O.K. to say what’s on my mind…I just have to realize that NOT everyone processes their feelings in the same way.  It can be somewhat of a “turnoff” to others (as I’ve been told by a certain Bostonian) to constantly want to say what’s on your mind.

I’ve learned this lesson so very often!  It’s not always necessary to SHOUT your thoughts to the highest rooftop!  Be easy and relaaaax (I hate when ppl tell me to do this lol) and be CONFIDENT that your friends and family will know deep down when they have done something to offend you.  It’s not always your job to “let em know!”

THOUGHT:  It’s been proven that a more calm approach to situations is way more effective.  When you begin to argue about everything, the focus starts to become your attitude as opposed to what you are really feeling!  And in return, NOTHING gets resolved.

Strength in Numbers!!!

Yeah, it’s a blessing to have ppl to call on in your time of need!  Especially when you need some extra “reinforcement” to get the job done.  We have to remember that family is KEY and if you don’t have family, call on a friend.

People are put in our lives for a reason and sometimes it is to add to our “strength”…there’s always a purpose.

 

 

 

Thought: In order to discover your DREAM(S), you must first “clean-up house” and begin to surround yourself with good people!  When you are happy, you are more inviting of blessings and wonderful epiphanies!

Oprah-fied!!! And I love it!

What better way than to find true “self” than to indulge in some Oprah?!?!  I must say, I tried and tried and tried to deny the Oprah power, but recently I’ve given in and it feeeeels gooood!

Like a lot of people, I worked when Oprah came on and I found myself always being that ONE person who would catch a snip-it of what was on that day and it seemed like I was just plain and simple MISSING OUT!  As her career came to a close, I just chalked everything up to a loss!  I missed the Oprah Boat…right?  Nope, she actually outdid herself and began her “Oprah Lifeclass” and I swear this series was meant for ME!  Well, at least I’d like to think so.

Set some time aside and WATCH her lessons: http://www.oprah.com/oprahs-lifeclass/oprahs-lifeclass.html

In order to get to the right place in life, you have to open yourself up to new things OUTSIDE of what you have been doing!  Then you will be in a happier place and inviting of the “dream flow” !!!

If you knew me, one of two things would happen.  You would either LOVE me or HATE me.  I have found that there is no in between and rightfully so.  As “out-of-the-box” I would like to think I am, the reality is this: The older I get the less I know myself.  I’ve hit a pivotal moment in my mature 20-something years.  I’m on a quest to find the real me.  The “me” that the world would see if I didn’t have a 9-5 job and bills to pay…the me that lives with no boundaries or excuses for being myself.

Enjoy my journey.  Until I find the answer(s), I will try everything and stop at nothing.  I’m letting go of life’s heavy baggage because I want to travel light on this trip!
