Empower Yourself

Yesterday, I finally did something that I had been wanting to do for a really, really long time.

I got tattoos!!!

It was one of the greatest moments of my life.

It felt incredible to finally take charge and do something that I have had my heart set on for a long time.

Why did I wait so long?

The biggest reason was that I was so afraid of what other people would think.

And to take that step toward doing something I was passionate about, to take time to listen to ME and do for ME… was, well, beyond words!

Part of my initiative for the year 2012 is to do more of the listening and doing for me part, and the less of living my life for others part.

Let me briefly explain this.

I have a very open and loving heart. With this comes the, for lack of a better word, a need to please others. To live my life for others because I just care to take of others.

This has led to me ultimately forgetting who I am and running around trying to do what I thought I should be doing, but not what I really wanted to be doing.

While my first steps toward taking care of myself so that I can be and do my best for others may have been somewhat extreme, it was the perfect catalyst for making my life my own.

Never put off anything because some one else might not approve.

Only live your life for yourself.

Those who truly love you will understand and support what matters to you.

Do not be afraid to know your own power in this world.

You are important.

You do matter.

You have the power to make your life exactly how you want it to be.

Facing fears is empowering!

So don’t be afraid!

Believe in yourself!

Love. Dream. Namaste
