My intentions produce my experiences


I am currently listening to Oprah's "What I know for sure". In chapter 6 she talks about fears and feeling stuck. One of the first things she said that caught my attention is "you are a single choice away from a new beginning."  She talks about how fear can have so much control over your life and it's up to you no matter how much anxiety you feel to make a different choice. This is the position I am currently in I am letting anxiety take over.  She then goes in to how have our intentions produced the experiences when are having now. This is my A-Ha moment. I never thought about this. 95% of the time I'm going into situations thinking the worst or nothing new is going to happen and this is the exact outcome that I get. I must change my negative thoughts

Rebranding Myself


I can't believe its 2015!! Truthfully I thought we would all be dead by now (thanks to my great-aunt who constantly told me this as a kid). I haven't made a new year resolution in the last couple of years because I would always get extremely depressed when the year ended and I had not accomplished them. 
In the last 6 months or so I have been experiencing  a heavy load of anxiety sprinkled with some depression. I just feel STUCK & LOST!! I really want to know my purpose in life, find my passion, and experience joy. I feel like I am taking up space and going nowhere fast. I definitely need to change my outlook when it comes to my job. I have a very strong work ethic but I think it's becoming really obvious that I am not satisfied being employed there. 
I have really been getting into self-help books and motivational speaking. Les Brown has became one of my favorite motivators. I just want to be patient & positive during this process of self discovery. But everyday seems harder. A lot of the books I've read andspeeches I've listened to say that when your journey gets harder you are closer to your goal. I just want a clear sign that points my in the right direction of my dreams.
