LOVE IS THE PULSE OF THE UNIVERSE!

LOVE!

Love is the pulse of the Universe. The breath of life. If you don't allow yourself to give and receive love...your spiritual body will suffer. You become anesthetized to life and your light is extinguished. If allowed to live in this state for long, eventually your physical body will deteriorate. Love.  Live.  Allow yourself to be loved. Allow yourself to freely give love. Sprinkle that sh*t EVERYWHERE! 
This is the pulse of the Universe and the doorway to true bliss and enlightened living.

Be YOU

Don't BE someone else for somebody

Don't doubt your worth

Stop questioning if you have something to offer

You are unique

There is no one on this planet like YOU

Believe in yourself

Be YOU....because YOU are enough

Awareness

This is what instantly makes me centered and catapults me into awareness.  The beach is my sanctuary, my re-charging place, and my space where I feel closest to myself and God.  What is your place?

Awareness.  Without it you create drama and cannot appreciate all that is in your life. All that is right in front of you this very moment.  Each blessing.  Awareness is the root of everything and the beginning of consciousness.  Be conscious in the moment and perceive life around you. That is awareness.

Self-doubt

We are all supposed to shine bright!  One light cannot dim another.

What is self-doubt?  Besides annoying!  I mean...where does it come from?  Where does it originate? What is its purpose?  Those questions, I cannot answer.  But I can tell you where it DOESN'T come from.  It doesn't come from your spirit, your soul, your authentic self.  It doesn't come from God or the Universe.  Nope.  Those tell us how amazing, unique, and irreplaceable we are.  Those remind us that we come from love which means we are love.  And from love...only amazing things happen!  I think self-doubt may come from our ego. Which is the same as our insecurities, unworthiness feelings, feelings of not being good enough.  The ego is not the TRUTH.  Don't listen to it.  Listen to your heart, your spirit, your soul, and Universal LOVE.  You are wonderful.  You can accomplish that goal or that dream you don't tell anyone about (because you think you're not worthy of achieving it).  Yes you are!  And yes you can!  We are ALL here to succeed and love.  We are all bright stars and your shine cannot dim someone else's.  We are all supposed to be wonderful!  So stop listening to your ego. He's not your friend.  Listen to your subtle quiet voice.  The one you can only hear when you quiet your mind.  THAT voice is your friend.  The one that loves you, encourages you, and guides you.  I KNOW that you ARE good enough, worthy enough, talented enough, and unique enough to achieve your inner most secret dreams.  Please believe that.  Today take a chance on yourself.  Take one step towards your dream or goal that you had given up on.

BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN YOUR LIFE

When you are right with yourself, the world is right with you
XO Joy

Do you want more understanding in your life?

Then be more understanding to those around you.

Do you want to see more compassion and acceptance?

Then show more compassion and acceptance.

Do you want inspiration in your life?

Then inspire someone.

We have to be the change we want to see in our lives.  Just wanting and complaining will not bring about change.  It doesn't work that way.  You have to give in order to receive. But...the giving has to come from an authentic place.  Meaning you can't give (whatever it may be--a smile, compassion, understanding, monetary, love, etc) with the only intent to receive something back.  It doesn't work that way either.  You know when you are giving from an authentic place because you realize the giving is a much greater gift than receiving.  I tend to make this sound simplistic...but it kind of is.  It is a choice.  You may have to start out making a conscious effort to do this but after a while it will flow naturally out of you and you start to look at life and those around you differently.  So the next time you find yourself wishing for some kind of change in your life, immediately look around you and see how you can be that change you are wanting.  It may not happen the next day but I promise if give what you want more of in your life you will start to see it manifest in your own life.
