Be The Light!

My Story

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and it's often hard to see the light when we're in the midst of struggles. Whether it's self-doubt, grief, self-sabotage, or resentment, these emotions can consume us, making it feel like we're trapped in darkness. But here’s the truth: the light will always illuminate what the dark hides.

My narrative has changed drastically over the years. It's hard to imagine that I was picked on for being the kid that was "trailer trash" as I rode the bus home from school. That's all I knew. The bullying lasted for a few years, until I was a junior in high school. I changed that year; mentally, emotionally, and physically. I turned 16. I got my driver's license, got a job, and became autonomous. This waxed and weened over the years, but I am now solid in my illumination. I didn't allow those moments of dark to take over as I knew my light wouldn't allow it. Take a minute to shine your light on something you have shielded over the years; how does it feel now?

Shifting Your Mindset: From Negative to Positive

When we take the time to focus on the positive, instead of fixating on the negative, our mindset starts to shift. And no, it doesn't have to happen in giant leaps—it starts with small steps. Each step, no matter how small, is progress in the right direction. This is one of the few things in life that we can control: how we choose to view and react to our circumstances.

Choosing to focus on light, positivity, and gratitude isn't always easy, but the payoff is immense. It takes consistent effort and a conscious choice to reframe our thoughts. Yet, when we embrace this mindset, it not only transforms our outlook, but it also empowers us to become the best versions of ourselves.

The Power of Gratitude and Joy

For me, this journey of choosing light has been life changing. It comes from a place of deep gratitude, which naturally leads to joy. And as I continue on this path, I find that my actions—my giving, my purpose, and the way I help others—become more fulfilling. Gratitude is the foundation that fuels my personal growth and my ability to impact the world around me.

From waking up in the morning to lying in bed at night, I choose positivity, light, and joy. By doing so, I’m attracting more of those same positive energies into my life. It’s all about manifesting your dreams and aligning yourself with the energy you want to create. By choosing to embrace the light, I prove to myself that I am right where I need to be.

Start Your Day with Intention

One powerful way to begin your journey toward a positive mindset is by setting the tone for your day. Take just two minutes each morning to center yourself. Allow positive energy to flow through you. Feel the warmth of the sun or the calmness of the moment. You are a powerful being. You radiate the beauty of life and all its joys. You are a force of greatness, and toxicity has no place in your life.

Shine Your Light: You Are Ready

We all have the ability to choose how we react to the challenges in our lives. By embracing positivity and gratitude, we not only transform ourselves but also inspire those around us. I am ready to shine my light on everyone I encounter, and I challenge you to do the same.
