I write so often about all the struggles I endure or the bad experiences I deal with, that I forget about all of the wonderful stuff too when I focus too much on the negative. And I am so happy to be writing that I have had a fantastic week, full of truly humbling and gratifying experiences, that I think it would be nice to write about for a change. It amazes me to know other people value the things you bring to life, and as undeserving as I often feel of other people’s kindness, I’d be lying if I said it didn’t touch my heart in the most warming of ways. Sometimes people don’t even realize how one kind word, or small and simple gesture can really turn the entirety of your day around. Never be stingy with your generosity, because it is for sure the gift that keeps on giving. As many times as I had been burned in the past, I had almost stopped wanting to put myself out there and tried to keep myself more guarded. But thanks to the wonderful encouragement of my husband, I kept on trucking, and learned how wonderful people can be.
I guess it’s really true what they say; you never know all of the lives you impact and the people you come in contact with at an accurate level. I’ve always just tried to live my life in a way that can be helpful and beneficial to others, fulfilling to myself, and in a way that is guaranteed to leave a mark because of my existence. By that, I mean that long after I am gone, my life had mattered to someone in some way, even if it’s just one singular person. This past week, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my existence mattered to a number of people, and to be honest, I don’t think I can fully put into words how wonderful that felt. To know that someone thought so kindly of me that they let me know through kind words or thoughtful gestures means more to me than all the money in the world. I’ve been riding the waves of that joy all week.
I love when people tell me something I said, taught, or wrote about really resonated strongly with them. When I am asked to teach something specific or write about a particular topic, it touches me to know that someone out there appreciates and finds value in the way I communicate thoughts and ideas. Perhaps it is because words of affirmation is my number one love language, but it means so much to me to know that I am appreciated or that someone thinks I am doing well. I was even gifted the lovely 3D image printed figurine of myself pictured in the title, and to know that someone thought so highly of me to create such a thoughtful gift meant more to me than almost anything else. It is now sitting proudly upon my mantel, where it is bestowed a place front and center. What better way to commemorate this memory than by writing about it in a blog, where I unfortunately fall victim far too much in writing about my woes and transgressions. Here is a little bit of positivity instead.
In a world full of so much negativity, I think it’s important to shed light on the good things as well. In fact, this is why I have removed so many people from my social media like Facebook and Instagram (or at least hidden their profiles), because I could not take seeing complaining posts and negative remarks daily. Surely something good must happen to you. If not, I am manifesting it in this blog right here and right now, that should you be reading this, I hope you have a wonderful week full of great things. I hope all of your worries pass, and anything stressing you out turns out to be meaningless. I wish you well, and that fruitful endeavors come your way. But most importantly, I wish you gratitude for all of the wonderful things that are currently happening to you that we sometimes turn a blind eye too when caught up with everything else. Manifesting amazing things, and especially, happiness.
