Admitting my weakness gave me faith in my strength.
The more I feel my weakness, the more opportunities fall into my hands. Weakness and exhaustion have been my companions in life for several years. There are several reasons for this - illness, lack of income, and a mild form of depression associated with it.

Becoming A Critical Thinker Can Help You Develop Creative Strategies To Overcome Obstacles
Critical thinking is something you develop over time. It’s like learning any other skill or sport. You can’t just decide to learn it and be a critical thinker the next day. To many, it takes years to develop the critical thinking ability.

Listen To The Small Voice
I quit my job left the state moved in with my sister and started to focus on a career centered around my creative abilities. Currently I’m a freelance writer a novelist (manifesting) and a tarot card reader BigDeckEnergyTarot. what I do is a hard pill to swallow for most and just down right laughable to others. Some consider me to be a charlatan while others think I’m insane. People from my past are thinking how the person does they knew many years ago and this person they see today exist simultaneously, they don’t. The old me is dead my leaves fell winter passed my leaves have regrown kiss my ass. It is drilled into our minds that people don’t change that’s changelings you bafoon, people are the same as they have always been deep down. It’s not common because it isn’t easy, but people have the ability to do things far beyond what any of us can imagine. The human mind is limitless and every day I see something that could be considered impossible until it is done. I used to drink, smoke, party every weekend lie, cheat, and steal. That’s who hey will always see me as because its who they met me as and I have to be okay with that and not let it hold me back only you know what you are capable of. So, to see me eating healthy, drinking tea, meditating, and reading tarot cards they think that’s fake or I need to see a psychiatrist when all I’m really doing is trusting my intuition. I know so many people who have told me they had a dream about something and then it happened or they had a gut feeling not to do something and they later found out it would have been a terrible move. My cousin snoozed her alarm decided to sleep in a little one day and be late to work and as she is getting ready and watching the news she sees the twin towers go down which is where she worked. It doesn’t have to be like “that’s So raven” trusting your gut listening to the voice inside your head knowing you’re right even when nobody else believes you and not needing another reason that’s all it takes. Most people don’t trust their gut instinct and they end up kicking themselves later for it. How many times did you think you should have bet on a team or on black at the casino or should’ve taken an alternate route home because you sensed traffic? That’s not the coolest superpower but hey It takes practice. listening to intuition the voice inside of you is small, faint, beaten down from years of you not listening to it. It’s not your fault, sometimes people in power tell you differently and try to convince you to go against your gut like your parents, teachers, so superiors your whole life and you just assume your first guess is wrong and change the answer but you had it all along. Me quitting my stable factory job with good benefits in a frigid tundra and moving somewhere warm and inspiring was the right choice for me. People tried to convince me otherwise but that’s just because that wouldn’t be the right choice for them. Not everybody can follow the same path or there would be no writers for your tv shows no books to engross yourself in no music to soothe you. I’m sure many celebrities were told you’ll never make it and they literally just had to go against everything they “know” to be true and follow their instincts. I know it seems reckless but I’m telling you learning to trust your gut and decipher the difference between anxiety and a gut feeling is the key to living your best life. Jk Rowling got the idea for harry potter in a dream, I’m sure along the way someone told her it’s a dumb idea they aren’t interested and nobody else will be either. I’m sure someone told her dreams are just that nothing more not and idea for your next work project. All that is required of you in this life is to identify your passion follow it as far as it goes and don’t allow anyone to sully that with their idea of what you should be doing instead. You know very well what is best for you act like it! The original video and picture necessary to submit this made me realize even more how much my life has changed how much I've traveled lately and how happy I am with the choices I've made thus far.

Sparkle, Shine from Within to Without
It is often very difficult to authentically shine through, when you feel very different and outside of everything around you. I somehow always manage to still be true to me, and the more open I am, I have found that others find inspiration, healing, and wisdom from the very things I often have felt a need to attempt to hide. Having some social anxiety from years of bullying and being ostracized for thinking differently and having unique limitations that made me stand out any way, never stopped my inner light from shining outward. I really don't mind being unique and different, and although I am still learning that what other's think shouldn't make me feel badly, I delight in being able to inspire others with my creative true self expressions.

The Longest Run
The Longest Run I was 19 years old in the summer of 2006 when I wanted to run 50 miles in one night in central Florida. Honestly, it was the spur of the moment decision I made. Yet, that night is still remembered by everyone I told. It’s funny how big time decisions that you know are for your good have such a short window of decision-making. It’s as if God wants you to have full trust for only that small amount of time. It’s as if it’s to prove that you’re ready to not doubt anymore. You simply never know when your big time decision will come. You just can’t ever afford to doubt it for that split second.

7 Activities That Will Brighten Your Mood
All of us find ourselves stuck in a rut at some point in our lives. Sometimes, there’s a reason behind our bad moods–a problem at work, a fight with a friend, or even something as simple as making a mistake playing a video game can have us feeling down. At other times, we can’t express why we’re feeling low. It can be anything from general stress to simply waking woken up on the wrong side of the bed–the only thing we know is that we’re in a terrible mood. No matter what the reason, all of us need a pick-me-up at some point in our lives.
