I believe that there is one true way with multiple, diverging paths that all inevitably merge to lead to love of one’s self, first and foremost, and then others.
I believe that my main path is to find my way back to my soul by stripping away the layers and facing the truth.
Not allowing what others have foisted upon me change my perception of who and what I am.
I believe in owning my darkness and my light; embracing the full extent of me and not just the parts that are sweet and nice or acceptable to others, but also the dark, deep, confused parts as well.
I believe that the main sweetness of life is found in one’s connection with others; those people who touch your heart and you touch theirs right back.
I believe success is falling down, yet having the strength to stand again either alone or with the support of a network of amazing friends.
Changing my mind can change my path and being open to that change when it needs to happen.
I choose how to perceive things, what thoughts to believe, and how or what I take from those things. I chose to do things differently than I was taught/raised. Emotions are nonnegotiable as we feel what we feel, but we choose how we react and respond to those feelings.
Maturity really comes to play when the emotions are involved.
I believe in speaking up about what I need and want and being responsible for surrounding myself with people who support me in making those needs a reality.
I believe in being able to use "I" statements to express myself and not make others responsible for my wants and needs.
I believe in the power of an honest “I am sorry” and “I love you”.
Being able to open your heart and mind as well as admit fault are two of the most important things you can be responsible for in your personal growth.
I believe in karma and the fact that it is a bitch to get caught when your bad karma comes home to roost.
Realizing that good karma is just as amazing as the bad karma is damning.
I believe in the law of attraction and doing your best to be honest and open when it comes to those feelings of attraction.
I believe in asking for help and giving it to the best of one's ability and availability. I believe that within adversity the phoenix will always rise and bring forth the beauty and love that has been hidden beneath the smoke.
I believe in establishing goals and wants, yet letting go and being open when new and exciting possibilities present themselves.
The journey is the point, but how well that journey goes is dependent upon the level at which we are willing to be involved.
I want to be fully involved and active in my journey and that the people that love and want to be there with me will be right beside me making the whole process that much more enjoyable!
