As i sit ....

As I sit here and look on events that have occurred in my life, all the good and all the bad. I am grateful for every single moment. Every time I was sad, happy, full of joy, felt alone, felt defeated and felt empowered. Every time I was taken for granted, not appreciated, admired, loved. It has made me who i am. It's easy to sit there and get down on yourself because your "perfect" image of your life isn't the way you wanted it or something you never imagined could happened actually did happen. Thats the easy way to deal with life's obstacles just play the victim. As I sit here I cant help but feel the complete opposite. I have never felt so true to myself, loved and proud of who I am as a person, where I have come and how tall I have risen from these hills in my life. I cant help but be so grateful for every moment because I wouldn't ever want to be anyone other than who I am right now. I'm far from perfect and I constantly need to check myself but I love who i am. I was always taught if you do the right things in life  and are a good person the right thing will happen. Who you are when no one is looking is who you truly are, you cant fake being a good person or doing the right thing. You have to live with yourself. I started this blog to inspire and touch people, to make a difference in someone else life as I share my own. You are what you think and if you think you are a bad ass who can conquer anything you are! Don't let people, situations or incidences in your life make you feel anything but empowered to stand back up and stand taller than ever before.
