Journal Entries~A Glimpse of Hope

(Photo taken by: Yours truly 6/2/16)

 

 For today's blog post I got the idea to write out some encouraging words from my personal journal that I started months ago. Almost on a daily basis I read inspirational posts on my Instagram and Twitter accounts posted by followers who are writers and inspirational leaders. Instead of collecting these words in my phone I decided to start a journal- record each encouraging post that I read and Today, I would like to share some of them with you.

 " Do not allow the negative experiences of your past to hold the greatness you deserve, hostage. The way you handle your past and present situations has a lot to do with the outcome of your future circumstances. So go on out there, understanding that you ought to leave the past where it belongs--in the past--but bring its lessons with you."

 -Lloyd Barker

Wow! looking back at this entry personally has lifted my spirits so much. It sums up how I've been feeling about my life for the past couple of weeks. Although, things didn't quite work out the way I imagined there's no way I should quit on any of my dreams and goals. I am a fresh young 29 and there is so much life ahead of me. The obstacles I had to go through are apart of my journey. I have to accomplish my goals so that I can turn these tests into TESTIMONIES! No more negative thinking and sitting on the pitty-potty, its time that I change my perspective and Live out my Dreams! <Every day won't be sunshine, its totally normal to feel like this, but you can't stay in this!>

" Literally every moment, every choice, everything is 100% up to how we think, how we feel, and how we see everything in our lives. You have to be bold in releasing the things that are keeping you blind. Life is full of endless opportunities, don't be confined by your current circumstances."

-Idillionaire

New Perspective:

"Release, release, release! Don't weigh yourself heavy with burdens that are meant for you to let go of. You have to own your life. You have to start creating your path. This moment is a new start. It doesn't matter what happened before or what went wrong. Rewrite, recreate, and renew your story. We only get stuck when we decide to repeat the same stories internally, expecting to see external changes. That's not how it works. You have to shift your internal reality first. Your thoughts are a force of energy ready to align you to your hearts desires. Switch negative thoughts to positive ones. We are not limited; our beliefs are. Break free from those mental barriers and decide now that you want to run your life. Sending you energy of positivity, clarity, inner peace and love. You got this!" 

-Beautiful words from Idillionaire

" Trust God's Timing and understand that He allows nothing to happen before its time. There is a lesson and significance in every situation, and it is only when we submit our desires to the Lord's that we will be able to appreciate His plan for our lives."

-Lloyd Barker

" If you woke up feeling purposeless remind yourself that today is apart of your BIG picture. You need these days to remind yourself that you have purpose & it has nothing to do with how you feel you were given purpose in your mothers womb by God & that same God that started a work in you will complete it."

-Heather Lindsey

In conclusion these are a few of my favorite inspirational quotes, reading these has given me so much life! I hope these words have encouraged you to continue working towards your goals. And know that feeling down is normal, but you must not stay there. You have purpose! Shake those negative feelings off, and journey on. Remember you have to finish these tests so that you can share your testimony. Be great!
