We are all warriors

Yesterday I posted on my blog about Women Warriors and this morning I felt the need to make a few alterations to help you see how it applies to everyone, we are all fighting this war against darkness and we all need strength and support, I want you to know that I am here, that I want to support you in your journey as it may be lonely and difficult to travel, there are so many tools and techniques that I offer that may truly benefit you or a loved one. 

I hope you feel my passion and spirit behind each of these posts and that you feel like this is a safe place to connect. Thank you for reading and for your support to me. Now to the good stuff! 

This is for everyone, no matter their age, I’m talking to all who experience this life. I speak to those who have experienced sadness, loneliness, heartache, disbelief, weakness, sorrow, pain and who have walls put up who don’t feel they can fight this fight alone, I speak to those who have taken on everyone else’s stuff because they thought or still think that it’s helping others and showing compassion, but maybe you have forgotten yourself and what you need, you try to help everyone around you during which time you have lost yourself and sight of who you are and the love that you must have for yourself. Everyone else comes first, they’re needs are more important than mine, to an extent that helps and is good, but the balance comes when you still remember to take care of you and your health, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and well being. I speak to those who have felt as I have that I should just hold back my thoughts and feelings because that’s where you’re safe, just hide, don’t excel it might hurt someone else if I stand out. I’m here to tell you that you can do great things, you can do whatever it is that you desire if you will just take that power back, it is the power in your mind that tells you what is possible, what you focus on will become your reality. Possibilities are endless to those who push through those negative thoughts and feelings and start believing. You are not just a human living in earth for no reason, it’s not by chance, you are not just a mother you are not just a caregiver to everyone, you are a father providing for his family, you are not just any person, you are not just whatever it is you may believe you are, you are more, you are someone who is a warrior, you have the ability to comfort others in the same way you can be comforted, you can love yourself just as much if not more than you love those closest to you. Don’t wait until you see it to believe it, start believing now. You will believe and then see it. I have held my tongue and kept myself shutdown and in a place I thought was safe for so long, but I look at those times and realize now that I am stronger when I speak up, just like a muscle it only gets stronger as it’s worked out, stretched and uncomfortable, we must allow ourselves to do those uncomfortable things like sharing our gifts and talents with those around us to benefit them and us, like looking at ourselves in the mirror in a loving and nonjudgmental way truly believing that who we see is someone amazing, someone who has the potential to accomplish great things, someone who truly believes that the image seen is worth more than Rubies. We are already worthy because of what is inside us, he who created us is the greatest being of all and part of him is in us. On my own I am nothing, but with God I can do all things, that’s the hope I hold on to, what gets you going in the morning, what do you believe in that makes you want to get out of bed and do great things? I have learned that if I know my purpose and have passion for doing something then I will be excited and motivated to get up and do what is necessary, I must do it because if I don’t no one else will do it for me, I must take that first step, just do one thing at a time. I want my children to feel that power within themselves and what they believe so that they realize the greatness inside of them and so that they want to move forward and be the best version of themselves they can be so they can also feel empowered, loved and see that there is hope and work toward accomplishing those great things they are meant to do. I am teaching my children that it is possible for them to do more than just one great thing, I want to teach them by example that when they follow their dreams and follow inspiration from a power higher than themselves they are fulfilling their purpose and have a greater impact on the world and the people around them. Don’t just be comfortable going on autopilot take control of you life, don’t just get sucked into the mundane with what you were trained to believe, take responsibility to believe it because you feel it and you know it’s right and because you always remember who is guiding you, let God be your guide so that you can accomplish what you came To earth to accomplish. You are a warrior, you are strong, you are incredible, smart, talented and beautiful on the inside and the out, you have a good heart and can bless so many lives with all your gifts and abilities, you have the power within yourself to choose the path that is right for you. You DO make a difference and it’s ok to STAND UP and STAND OUT for all that is good! You are preparing those around you to be able to fight this fight against darkness, because you are a leader to those who don’t have someone to turn to, you are an inspiration full of love and embodied with light, draw others to that light that you radiate by believing in yourself and your higher power, stand for truth and righteousness and show that there is a way out, be a warrior who helps defend against mental illness, believe that there is help, if it’s medication than follow your heart and be brave to do what is necessary and talk to a professional, if you have gone through it yourself reach out and help those around you, I want to share some of the tools that build confidence knowing that we have all had failures in our lives, but it is the response to those failures and our ability to get up and keep trying that will make us stronger, remember it is our focus on the good and what IS working that helps us move forward more than the focus on the negative things and worrying about the unknown, it is about asking for help from the greatest healer of all Christ the Lord. Take time to listen to your mind, understand what it’s telling you, feel the emotions that come up and take time to be in the moment, write it all down and decide right now what you want to do about it. Decide who you want to be, do you want to feel those emotions or are you ready to release them. I found myself in a place where it was dark, I felt alone and didn’t think anyone cared about me, I ended up writing a song that, to this day really builds my spirit and reminds me that after the darkness comes the light. Remember Don’t stay in that negative emotional place too long, if you decide to feel the negative emotions then take the time to truly connect and be in tune so you can find those triggers and recognize them every time they show up, then find a solution, or seek for help to turn it into what you want the outcome to be and how you want to feel and then keep pressing forward, I won’t let you give up, I’m here and I believe there are so many others who are here for you. It takes a lot of faith to step into the darkness of the unknown, but you will be stronger for it and the way will be easier to see as time goes on. You are a warrior. You are incredible, you make a difference and you stand out as an example of what is possible with how you choose to respond to your difficulties. Who do you rely on and who is your support? Always remember you are a warrior! Believe it! Hold on to that idea! Don’t let go! You are loved! You are needed! You are wanted! Emily Sent from my iPhone
