We are all the sum of our personal experiences. None of us have gotten to adulthood without something negative happening in our lives. So many of us can only focus on the outcome and we overlook the lesson that is there in our haste to correct or overcome whatever went awry. Certainly, we don’t want to make the same mistake again, but there is fruit to be harvested from the experience. You may find that,…
It is incredible to see the hardships and challenges that some children can endure. They seem to have an unending supply of inner strength that adults only yearn to harness. Maybe they are just more open to digging deep and finding a way to survive. Children are constantly learning and growing each day. So they are not unaccustomed to striving to overcome whatever appears before them. They are not pre-programmed like adults to judge the…
Don’t give away your power to anyone, especially your naysayers. You are just as special as the next person. You deserve to be here. Live life on your own terms.

All over the world, there are issues with the environment. Climate Change has become the main topic politicians talk about. Air quality and deforestation are other issues politicians talk about. Mankind is aware of all this and in general, the environment is not being taken care of. It is pointless that different laws in favor of the environment are made, but at the same time, other laws are not environmentally friendly. Mankind has heard many…
We oftentimes think that money equals happiness. Things like success, possessions, and a big bank account are the point of life. Certainly, we want to provide for our families but it is not as important as your health and happiness. Don’t be afraid to really think about what makes you happy and then pursue it. It’s the first choice you make when you decide to become your own source of comfort, security, and happiness
Often times we believe we are stuck with the hand that life dealt us. While true that we do not have absolute control over what happens to us at all times, we have full control of the choices we make, be it as a response to events or as steps taken in pursuit of our own lives. Life is not about absolutes. We make bad choices. We cannot be afraid to make mistakes. More importantly,…
People often scoff at the concept of simply deciding to be happy, and surrounding yourself with good people. When I ask them if they choose restaurants they don’t like or buy cars they don’t want they respond with an “of course not.” You can choose to do what makes you happy. You can choose to be a positive person. You can choose your tribe members.
The world is full of people today that seek affirmation from others. Your happiness should be sourced from inside. Find the happiness that you have brought to yourself and use it to drive forward. It is the only thing you control. Reliance on external sources is a recipe that will always leave a bad taste in your mouth.
More and more it seems people are focused on division. All manner of focus points, from race to economic and political differences. The people driving it benefit in various ways. Don’t let them feed your fears. They are noisy but they are a minority. Choose to focus on what is good and what makes you happy.
Remember there is absolutely nothing nor no one that can break you. Trust your power. The only one who has any control over you is you. Walk away from what or who is toxic in your life. You are worthy of being accepted. You are worthy of being loved. Always. Please visit me on Polywork at: https://www.polywork.com/atemple Also, please visit my website at: https://artemple.tumblr.com/
