The most peaceful time of the day for me is early AM. I wake up on purpose at this time to meet this peace and try and bring it into the rest of my day.

I offer my thanks right now for Yesterday’s me who did the things necessary for me to do be the me Today.

It’s ability to adapt and heal.

True humility is looking at looking, accepting, and acting out of where and who I am.

I wish to cultivate more belief in myself, my value, and my abilities.

By sharing with others the struggles and challenges that I have been through and showing them that they too can go through them and grow through them. By doing this I also get to understand myself more and accept myself more.

I show others that I care by speaking life into them, by taking the time to listen and to encourage.

By doing the things that make me feel good even if I don’t usually do them; by saing YES to the things that NOW fit my narritive.

I can do that by implementing the things I have learned not based on others behave or outside circustancesbut based on what I know to be the best practises. for me.

I can send an email telling someone how grateful I am for them.

The memories in which I prove that even though I may be going through a challenging time, I have gotten through and overcome similar or even worse times.

By reflecting on all of the chaotic moments that I have overcome and re-realize that everyting is always working out for me.

This was/is a hard question for me for some reason. In part I think its challenging to think of someone that i can actually “open my heart to”. The other challenging part I believe would be in my belief that there is a difference I can make for both of us.

The closest I can come to is that I can open my heart to my tribe and by improving on my self I am make a difference for both of us….because when I become my best me i am more of an asset to them.

I really had to think of this one…Because I realized that there are things that I’d like them to thank me for….and then there are things that people actually thank me for.

People tend to thank me for my insight and perspective, and for giving them the truth and not “co-signing” or giving the a “what they wanna here” type answer.

By giving my experience, strength, and hope to the younger generation. By investing time with those younger than me in hopes that what I could off to them would allow them to live a life that was a little better than mine.

I can be a better friend by listening more and listening to understand. I can be a better friend by giving less suggestions and by not trying to get people to see things my way.

I am witnessing the miracle of resilience. I watch, even in my own life th will and drive to strive and do better in the face of adversity. While people may fall, fail, make mistakes, and experience terrible losses they contintue to get up and strive to be do and have more…all the while the option to quit, to give up, to throw in the towel is there.

Meditation, Self Introspection, Prayer and things like a gratitude journal help me to become less critical of others. An honest inventory of where I am, where I have come from in proportion of where I want to be helps to keep me humble and see that this is my process.

Prayer has also been helpful in helping me become more compassionate towards others.
