Sunday

This rainy/cloudy weather just makes me wanna cuddle in bed, and just read and journal. But this morning, we've already finished our weekly personal development book club with our friends in Taiwan! :) It's definitely a challenge, because I am so not used to speaking in chinese nor translating my personal development thoughts into chinese. Its a new challenge, but something that I'm working on overcoming.

Just wanted to share some of my sunday reads/thoughts/things I like with everyone here, some oldies and some newies.. lol!

• Danielle literally hits it over the head AGAIN! No surprise here lol, her email insights always feed my heart what I need to hear, this time's its about authenticity. Be your REAL you! 

• It's kind of crazy how 2015 is 3 months away from being over! Like I really can't believe it, and this is a little reminder that change is good for the soul.

• Because when you allow yourself to say NO to things that you don't want, that don't light you up, even though it might make you look like a bitch, it opens you up to more of the YES's of life. Love Danielle! 

• "A nice person is a 'yes' person, whereas a good person is a person who accepts their responsibility in things and moves forward and tries to constantly evolve 
  and isn't afraid to say no or challenge someone or be honest or truthful." 
  - Miranda Kerr
  
  • 9 habits of debt free people , love this because true freedom is not having any financial debt. I love this list, because its so true, becoming debt free doesn't just happen it takes sacrifice, time, and I know from my own experience of being debt-free at 25.
  •  Keep your expectations in check - sometimes you think something is easy, and then when you find out its not you quit. Nothing worth having is going to be "easy" in anything, having real expectations doesn't mean forgoing your dreams either.
  •  Uhh.. who doesn't love Mindy Kaling?!  Love her "guide" to  confidence  it's funny and amazing!

Hope everyone enjoyed their Sunday! I know I have spending time with fam, shopping and having a cheesecake date. ;) <3

Ringing in the New Year!

2014.
"The Days Are Long, the Years are Short"
- Gretchen Rubin, The Happiness Project.

I'm kind of speechless at this moment in time. Speechless that 2014 is over. 

Just like everyone else I feel like I could've should've done more. But forget that, for a moment, and be grateful for what did happen. 

Realizations/thoughts from 2014:
*I'm on a mission to change people's lives no matter what and no matter what others think.
*Small Minds = Small vision, Big Mind = Big Vision, don't let little minded people affect your own thinking of yourself.
*Sometimes you have to go through things alone. Come out on top. And continue to conquer yourself and the obstacles that happen when you're on the road to success.
*If anything I've learned, don't believe that little voice in your head. Its not telling you the truth about yourself. If you take the time and awareness to figure that out. Life will be better.
* I am grateful I get the freedom that I do have, and I appreciate it so much and wish to share this kind of freedom to those who are willing to work for it.
*I absolutely love the people that I attracted to me - I have had so much fun, laughter, and drama-free life in a while.
*Give yourself time to heal, sometimes grief will come in and surprise you.
*I'm not chasing happiness. I'm learning how to be joy, in all situations good and bad, happiness is just like any emotion, temporary. But joy.. that's really something. <3

2015:
* I am excited to grow more, be more, and laugh more, and have fun with this one life I'm blessed to have.
* I am dead set on making my father proud of me. #ripdaddyo
*  Do new things I thought I couldn't do.
*Push myself to reach the goals that I've set
*Give back to worldvision, by sponsoring a 2nd girl. I sponsored my first child when I was a sophomore in college, and I still sponsor her 7 years later.
* Stop comparing, and start listening to my inner higher self.
* Love on people hard, love on yourself. Love doesn't mean physical affection, it means appreciating them where they are at, and seeing the potential that lies within each and every human person.

Ah,, I'm so pumped! But I'm going to need to stop because I got a 6am wake up call. Gotta learn to love this disciplined life, with freedom it comes with self-discipline. Discipline is the key to happiness by the way if you were searching for the answer...well actually self-discipline. That's like a whole nother' blog post.

I've missed blogging. Not for other people, but for myself, because I love writing, and I love being authentic, and I feel like it brings my truly empowered side out. It felt like a chore at times, because I was sharing what I thought I should share. But I'm going to share what I want to share, and if that helps inspire other people and help people great. If it creates haters, even better, b/c haters can tell you what your fans won't and make you grind harder. <3

I'm back. Unscheduled. Unfiltered. Sharing Me. 2015 you will see me rise. So come along with me, or just watch me.
