I have this hanging on my wall. I created this page on one of my few very important self-discovery journeys to remind me of what is important so I don’t get lost in the chaos and noise.

With every milestone of growth, life sends you new challenges for growth and development. My very thoughtful and deliberate choices have led me to hard places, some of which I wish I didn’t have to walk through, but they were necessary to see what fibers I am really made of.

This year has been the hardest season I have had to walk through since my teenage years. Only a few know and have had the “privilege” (sarcasm) to walk my teenage years with me and know what I struggled with. If it wasn’t for my journey of discovery, curiosity, and wanting to seek truth of who G-d is through the lens of Judaism, my Mussar practices, and my journey to a healthy existence, I would be lost in my feelings.

I have discovered that life doesn’t stop. Development doesn’t end. Joy is NOT subjective, it’s an internal choice. Just because I do not have total control of how my journey evolves doesn’t mean I have to sit in self-pity, sorrow, and darkness.

I have a choice. I can succumb to the hurt, pain, and disappointment that comes with life, or I can choose to see the fruits that come with overcoming those hard feelings. I choose a life of joy, gratitude, and the goodness of those moments that bring a smile to my face. 

And say NO to the cake 🤣

Victory is sweet when you have earned it. Achievement comes with struggles. Change doesn’t happen without struggles or perseverance. Don’t give up half way through the journey…Victory are achievements that causes positive change in us.

If my final goal is Everest, that’s daunting and an impossible goal but if I set smaller attainable goals that will lead me to Everest, I will reach Everest. Stay focused on smaller attainable goals that will get you to your final destination

Starting a new job, staying stationary for 8 hours caused my weight loss journey to come to a halt…this journey has two part: physical progress but also emotional and mental healing. I can allow my mind to go to a negative, defeated place but that won’t serve anyone. Emotional support and mental renewal is so important in life’s journey. So reset, go back to the drawing board and finds solutions to the problem. Keep on keeping on with a positive perspective 🥰

When our kids fall, we’ve told them, “Get up, brush it off, you’re fine.” Remember that when we are going through hard times, Get up, brush it off, you’re getting stronger.”
It takes effort, but you can do it !
