Love Life

I always seem to find myself gravitating towards inspirational, fun, and interesting quotes throughout the week. I love them. They may seem trivial to others, but they are small daily reminders of things we may not take full advantage of.   Or simply, they put your jumbled thoughts in perspective. This week, these three really stuck out to me. For this first one, I am a firm believer that creativity is born of risk and refined by failure. It is never black and white. When undergoing the creative process, failure is inevitable and, in most instances, failure is the product of true creativity.

Someone recently told me, “Wow Christy, you are seriously one of the most positive people I know. Every time I say somewhat of a complaining comment, you always bring out the upside to it.” I was pretty shocked and taken back by his comment. When I heard that, I did take a step back and realized that I was, for the most part (I do have my bad moments though for sure), an optimistic and hopeful person.  Even though things in my life didnt work out as planned, I truly believe everything happens for a reason.  In some regards, that can be a disadvantage, but for the most part, having a positive outlook on things makes your days so much more fulfilling and worthwhile. At the end of the day, if you don’t like something in your life, fix it. Life is too short to complain and be discouraged about things. The ball is in your court.

I have huge decisions to make this year and this quote really hit the spot. At the end of the day, I always gotta remember to take chances. Life is all about chances, and if I never try it, I never know what the outcome could be.

Happy Friday Everyone!

Happy

 

There are so many things we go through on a daily that we can either complain about, whine about, or just be negative about.   Whether it be work, relationships, school, etc that can bring you down, I am a true believer that YOU make the most out of any situation you are faced with.  It’s really all in your mind and how you want to perceive things.  It’s either you see the glass half empty or half full.  I’ve learned that shit happens, whether you like it or not.  But at the end of the day, you gotta roll through the punches and make a decision to change and move forward or maybe realize that things aren’t as bad as it seems.  For me, happiness is most def a state of mind.  There are sooo many things to be grateful for, you just gottta stop and smell the flowers sometimes!  Positive thoughts + Happy Vibes = Happy Life.

XOXO and Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mama’s out there!

Change

Here’s an inspiring quote for your Friday afternoon! It seems like the only thing constant in this life is change.  Change is definitely hard to do, there’s more difficult things in life where change is a progression and a struggle.  When I read this quote by Socrates it hit me hard, because I knew that in order to change any perspective or aspect of my life I need to focus my energy on “the new.”  Instead of focusing your energy on the person you don’t want to be, why not re-direct it to the person you want to be?

Hope you all have an awesome weekend!
