Mission Move Forward


Life is powerful when you decide to allow your mind to relax and think about the lessons you learn while you are on vacation. Vacation is always a great time to recoup, regroup and rejuvenate your being to clear out the clutter in your mind. It is always important to take a step back to recollect your thoughts, redefine your life and reinvent who you are. In order to grow to the next level in your life you have to be willing to move forward. Moving forward simply means leaving the past behind, not allowing the past to stop you from living in the now. The past is what you cannot change but the present is inevitable. I can attest to allowing the past to hinder me from moving on to the next phase of my life. Since I have been on vacation this summer I realize how important it is to move forward. For too long I have allowed failed relationships and failed friendships to hold me handcuffed to my past. It is imperative you give yourself permission to a fresh start, it is your right to push the delete button and start over again. I had to learn to forgive myself when others did not forgive me, I had to learn to love myself when others did not reciprocate it, I had to learn to be mature when the other parties involved choose to act like a child and I had to learn to be my biggest fan, cheerleader and supporter when no one else was there. The key ingredient to moving forward is having faith. Faith is not measured by what you can see but is measured by what you cannot see. When you do not allow fear to control your steps and make a decision to step out of the box then you will see God's hand guiding you in the right direction.

Here are the lessons I am learning while on vacation in beautiful Virginia:

1) Move Forward, Leave The Past Behind!
2) Do not explain yourself, you are grown.
3) Do not fear the unknown.
4) Do not force it, let it happen naturally.
5) Think outside the box.
6) Follow the road of happiness.
7) Live life!
8) Make it happen!
9) Focus, Silence & Action!
10) Change is Good!
11) Do not just have a dream, live the dream & do the dream!
12) Let if flow!
13) Do not settle.
14) Stop playing it safe & live life full of adventure.
15) Stop caring about what others think, do you , be you and stay true.

Falling Into Love

Never deny love even if the other person does not reciprocate it, to be able to fall in love is a beautiful feeling & to have known it is unbelievable, it can make a difference in your growth process as a person. Falling in love can change your whole being....It makes a difference at the darkest times in life.~Stylicia~

Some people have never experienced this overwhelming, earth shattering, mind blowing, intimate, deep, soul searching experience because what they thought it was never was it, loving someone and falling into love is two different things. I never knew how these two concepts were so different until I experienced my first in love experience. When you fall into love it pushes you to be a better person and it heals parts of your heart that once were dead. You are reading this and wondering how do I know about this well I fell into love four years ago. The time I fell into love was during a dark time in my life and the man that came into my life help me experience my first in love experience.
 
I never been in love before so I knew this was the falling into love experience. I have been in lust plenty of times but to be in love was a whole new concept for me. I felt compelled to share my experience so people can understand falling into love with a person is not a bad thing even if the relationship take a turn for the worst. Falling into love is a freeing experience because it makes you transparent, you do not have to put on a facade but you can expose your heart to the one you love. I believe we deny ourselves the beauty of falling in love because we focus on the hurt and not the lesson that it taught us. When you fall into love with someone you learn who you are and how they effected your journey. When I fell into love I was on cloud nine but the reality check we both were two wounded. However, I believe we both brought out the best in each other.
 
I was wounded from the lost of my two year daughter and he was wounded from a past long term relationship. The relationship left a scar on his heart so settling down was not on his mind. I got a revelation this week understanding that we both were not emotionally ready, mentally ready or spiritually ready to commit because we were not whole.When I think about how falling in love with him changed me; it made me see how powerful falling into love can be between a man and woman. I never regret the experience of falling into love because it made me feel alive at the darkest time in my life. If it was not for me falling in love for the first time in my life I would have not learn how to be the authentic woman I am today. So, the next time I fall into love it will be the right timing because I will be whole and that man will be whole.I encourage you not to give up on love, let love make you better not bitter.
He was my first love but he will not be my last love because I am open to letting my heart be made whole and when God believes I am ready to embrace love again then that man and I both will be ready, it will be the right timing. If you fell into love and it was  not received back continue to love but first love yourself...Self love is powerful and it attracts so much love.
I can honestly say I am not ready to focus on love because my focus is on me and my goals. I am focused on enjoying being happily single and I cannot devote the time it takes to fall into love but when I am ready and when it is time then falling into love will be effortless.
