"Your thoughts are incredibly powerful. They actually govern not only you but those around you. Think about it, if you think positively about the people you’re around, their lives are better. This is why people “send positive energy” or pray for other people. It actually makes a difference. Your thoughts create endless ripples — even waves — of consequence all around you." https://journal.thriveglobal.com/if-youre-too-busy-for-these-5-things-your-life-is-more-off-course-than-you-think-b54f102598b0
I read this article today and it definitely spoke to me. For nearly three years now, I have been consciously trying to follow my passions. With the tips and guidance in this article, I feel like I will be able to fine tune the areas of my life that still need to get on track.

I truly believe in the power of positivity and living out your passion. Please take a few minutes and explore the link to the article above.
I heard this song a few weeks ago for the first time.
I was filled with a profound sense of nostalgia, sadness and loss. I spent a few moments with these feeling, listening to the lyrics and ruminating over things in my life that have happened, both routine and what some consider tragic, when my feelings took a turn for the positive. Immediately I began to look at things differently.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 reminds us there there is a time and season for everything under the heavens. I have been so afraid to let go, trying to have control over things and even people, that I forget I am not the one in control here. I need to surrender. I need to step back and allow what is best for me to take place.
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
With every last time usually comes a first time for something else. I pray your firsts are full of adventure and love.
