Your life is yours.
Youre responsible for yourself and living and expressing your most beautiful dreams.
No one can find happiness by living dreams of someone else.

Cherish your challenges.This is one of the biggest lessons Ive learned.
I wished that I would wake up one day and problems would just disappear.
But the more I hoped for having a magic wand, the tenser my challenges have felt.
Now I understand that sometimes the shortest way is to walk through the fire and stay open.
Dont close your eyes.
Look around and see what the challenges are meant to teach you.
Life happensforyou, nottoyou.Everything in life happens for our higher good.
Especially when we dont see it.
Honor your uniqueness.Until I finished high school, I felt like an alien.
Its because Im different than anyone else that I can bring and create something new for others.
Which ways are you different?
Learn to accept them and make them your strength.
The sooner you understand this, the better as you save yourself some disappointments.
Were all different, and some people arent able to be happy for others.
Recognizing this can make you more aware and ready to deal with them.
When people arent happy about their lives, they tend to be envious of others.
If this happens to you with your friends, let them go.
store your time and energy for people who arent intimidated by you living your dreams.
Learn to say what you want and mean.We can always speak up and say what we really want.
This is especially important in relationships, in work, partnership, family, and with friends.
Saying what we mean prevents ambiguity and confusion.
Whenever people dont know, they tend to create assumptions and their explanations.
Therefore, the only way to make others know what you want is to tell them.
They leave both parties feeling miserable.
You lose a bit of yourself.
Be brutally honest about your feelings.Our feelings are messengers about what is going on deep within.
If we shoot the messenger, we never learn the lesson.
People are afraid to feel.
Protect your energy.Our environment and people are interconnected with us all the time.
The more sensitive ones among us can get quickly swept away by its intensity.
Energies, thoughts, and intentions of others are influencing us.
Although we cannot touch it or see it, we can feel it.
Learning how to protect yourself energetically can be a life changer.
Many times, our thoughts and moods dont belong to us, weve just picked them up from others.
Learning the fact that Im an empath.Some people are born empaths, Im one of them.
You think its you thinking and feeling something, but it can be the person next to you.
This leads to mood swings and tons of confusion.
Being disciplined trains the mind.I dont like discipline by nature; I had to learn to like it.
The more disciplined I get, the easier it is to finish things with less effort.
Discipline builds the momentum.
Finding your way is okay.Ive never had a guru or a teacher in a traditional sense.
Mostly I was my own guru.
I used to think that something was wrong with me until I understood that I dont need it.
I have everything within, and most importantly I can create my own way.
Even if Id be the only person on the whole planet doing something a certain way, its okay.
We dont have to follow others because others are quite likely not perfect.
Be brave to create your own way the way that works foryou.
Listening to the intuition.Intuition is always correct.
It works with patterns and with saved information.
Whereas the intuition is the direct communicating tool with our soul, who knows where and why were going.
Dont make your decisions based on others.This was a big game changer for me.
Like many other women, I also used to listen to the good opinions of others.
I thought that its the part of being the good obedient girl.
No one else knows better what is the best for you thanyou.Others are most likely lost themselves.
Dont let others interfere.
Yet it should never replace the relationship you have with yourself.
Choose your friends wisely because theyll influence you.
If you feel like theyre dragging you down, then they probably are.
Dont let anyone hold you back.
Learn how to love yourself.I dont say just love yourself because that is said easier than done.
Loving yourself is a process and sometimes a life-long process.
Yet I believe that we should all give a shot to find more love for ourselves.
Everyone can become more self-loving in distinct ways.
Find the ways that work for you and then keep showing up for yourself moment by moment.
Be there for yourself.Always.
Life happens, and sometimes its testing us at all levels.
But at all these times, youre the only person who is there with you.
Dont abandon yourself when life gets complicated; its time you need yourself the most.19.
Feeling fulfilled and happy cannot be found outside ourselves.
Yet we all spend years searching for it right there.
Find yourself, find that secret and special place where you connect with your soul.
Let it guide you and let it act through you.
Embody your soul.This a mantra I live by or at least do my best.
Embodying your soul means expressing the very essence of you.
The never changing essence of your deepest part.
Thats why were here.
Create the life you want.Your life is yours.
Youre responsible for yourself and living and expressing your most beautiful dreams.
No one can find happiness by living dreams of someone else.
Yet I invite you to use your precious life for doing something that matters to you.
Even if no one else agrees and supports you, do what makes you feel alive.
Have your routines.Find something that helps you to get reconnected to yourself and bring balance into your life.
This builds a strong core that is like an anchor in the midst of the storm.
you might change the routine whenever you want.
Although I have routines, every day it looks a bit different.
Diversity works for me the best.
We cannot force them doing something that they arent ready and open for.
Everyone has own growing and learning curve.
The pace is between them and their soul.
We cannot push others to do something if they dont want.
By doing so, we only deplete ourselves and harm the relationship with them.
Without knowing who you are, youll keep being swept away by others.
When you know who you are you also know what your dreams are and you feel more guided.
Real love doesnt hurt.This may also be controversial because many of us have experienced the painful love.
Yet the only thing that can hurt us is our love illusions bursting.
The love that is supporting and not demanding cannot hurt.
Feeling at ease in a relationship requires two things.
Two, you find the right partner which again goes back to knowing yourself.
You have to be very clear on who you want and what your standards are.
Relationships are assignments.All of our relationships are assignments, especially the romantic ones.
They teach us which parts of ourselves we need to integrate and what lessons we need to learn.
Your partner is a mirror to you, and they reflect your true self to you.
Dont expect your partner to save you and heal you.
If that happens, great, but its your own responsibility.
The moment you build these expectations youre slowly killing your relationship (and yourself).
Dont expect them to support you in your drama and instead heal it yourself.
The controlling energy is the energy of restriction.
Its like being in a perpetual spasm.
It costs too much energy, and we put ourselves in a cage.
Its better to learn to receive.
Just breathe and take it easy, the life gets much better.
