Not everyone will contribute the exact same things to the rest of the world. Some will be talented in one area, while others in another. The important thing is that everyone contributes, not how they’re expected to, but how they’re created to do best.

The Law of Attraction can be a difficult concept to comprehend. It cannot be seen, felt, or directly noticed in any way. But yet, it still exists. It’s true. Your thoughts have so much power over your life, that it’s astounding. So make a point of thinking positively, and positive experiences will be drawn towards you. Be the magnet of good forces, not bad. It truly does make a difference.

Anonymous asked:

I'm so confused. I thought I knew what I wanted when I broke up with my boyfriend. but everyday since then I've missed him. I thought it might be because we had been together for so long but I'm still miserable 3 months later. I've told him how I felt and I don't understand how he can go froom wanting to fix things to just wanted to be friends. it hurts knowing that he could be moving on from what we had. I know it's my fault. I just don't know how to handle this pain.

Hello friend,

I’m so sorry that you’re going through such a difficult time. I understand why this can be very confusing and hurtful towards you.

However, please don’t try to blame this on yourself. Sometimes it may seem like two people are meant to be together forever, but sometimes this is just not the case, despite our intentions. If two people are going to spend the rest of their lives together, living gracefully and in complete harmony, they must be meant for each other.

I believe that your first instinct that told you to move onto different things in life may have been better for you than you might currently think. Yes, you may currently feel a tremendous amount of pain, however this does not mean that all adventures come to an end. There really are still so many other exciting things that lie ahead for you, friend! Whether they involve a relationship or not; there is still so much to be seen, felt, and experienced.

It will be especially hard at this moment because this is a big transition for you, and you are still getting used to the change. Please try to be patient with yourself as you go through this. Really try to nurture yourself as much as possible, and ensure that you receive the love and care that you deserve. Now you will have more time to dive into your own interests and discover yourself as supposed to someone else. When the time is right, you will meet the one who is a marvellous match for you. Until then, please try to remain patient, have faith, and enjoy your journey! ❤️

this is a sign that if you’re not where you want to be, you’re still young and your future is what you make of it. so don’t give up on your dreams thinking that you started too late or you don’t have time. you have plenty of time to master a new skill or chase your daydreams. you still have time and you can do it.

If it didn’t work out perfectly today, that’s alright. Try again tomorrow. If it still doesn’t work, then try again the following day. And the next. It doesn’t matter how many times you need to retry; what matters is that you keep at it until you no longer need to.
