Life is about choices…….and understanding that we get to make our own choices.  Sometimes we may make a decision and the outcome will not be as was expected.  So we roll with it and/or make another decision.  Choice + choice + choice + choice x infinity= our life we make.

Sometimes I struggle with having too many choices and instead of making any decision I become overwhelmed and just take a nap.  And trust me, they are not the warm, cozy, lovely naps but instead they are restless, nightmarish and sweaty.

Prioritize and simplify.  By excommunicating toxicity and chaos, I leave room for clearer thoughts.  A clear head can prioritize and begin a life simplification process……along with motivation and desire.

I firmly believe that the best way to live the best life is to “surround” yourself with the best people.  These kind of people like to prioritize and live simply, without toxicity and chaos.  Boom! How easy was that to excommunicate those positive energy vampires.  (Get it? They suck out your positive energy like a vampire sucks out your blood.  You need blood to live.  You need positive energy to really live….life to the fullest!  For the record however, I am on team Edward.)

Now, we cannot just “hang out” with these awesome people and expect our lives to become awesome…..awesome will not get handed to us on a silver platter.  I ordered it once and they actually asked me to leave the restaurant. (On a side note, I always spell restaurant wrong and the reason for this is because the dictionary actually spelled it wrong.  Frustrating.  It makes more sense if it was spelled, restaraunt.)  So, since we cannot just eat a plate of awesome, we need to work for it or on it or with it or something like that.  Ask your amazing friends for help, advice, suggestions……..and really listen.

I dedicate this lil bloggity blog to all the awesome people in my life that help me find my hidden awesome every day.  I am grateful for their help, advice, suggestions……for making me think outside my box….for making me ask questions……for helping me see my capabilities.

I talk big and try to motivate others and all the while, I forget to prioritize, simplify, and remember that I myself am capable of reaching my potential….hell, exceeding my potential.  Just because I may not know exactly how much I am capable of or what my potential really is…..doesn’t mean I don’t keep trying.  All I can do is make thoughtful choices and try my best…..correct my mistakes and most importantly, not be too hard on myself.

Thank you for my pep talk last night, from an awesome person I choose to have in my life.
