All of us live unique lives, all of us go through trials and tribulations. It’s the fight within us that makes us who we are. The universe places trying times in front of us because we can handle it. You have to believe that you can make it through and reach for a better thought. I am going through some really tough things lately and I have been sick to my stomach this whole week. While I have support from my family and use oils to help me get through each day, I know that it’s up to me to get through this. I can choose to let it break me or I can choose to take one step at a time and overcome it.

I choose to make it through this. I choose to live a happier life and move past this hard time. I choose to be stronger from this. I can do this.

While it may be boring for you to read this, I need to write it. I need to build my inner strength and believe in myself. If you’re going through a hard time and you feel like there is no way out or that chances are not in your favor, have faith. Believe in yourself. Know that you are strong enough and that life goes on no matter what.

It is true that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, it makes you learn, it makes you smarter. I have faith in myself and I know I am better than this. I hope one day that I can share my story with the world and help others who have been in my shoes. I pray that when you read this that you realize that you are worth it; whatever you’re going through will pass.

Here’s what I have been doing to get past these thoughts. I have been closing my eyes and picturing how I view my life next year and in the years to come. I see me with freedom from a boss, an abundance of money in my bank account, my family healthy and strong. I see myself surrounded by positive people who love me and want to see me grow. I see my Young Living business being stronger than ever with so many great people in my organization. I see Doug and I getting married and having a baby. I see us in a beautiful brick home in an area that we love. I see me being on stage talking to people who want to grow their businesses. I also see me on stage talking about the things I have been through and empowering them to live the life of their dreams. I see my friends having abundance in every area of their lives. I see them living their dreams and being healthy and happy. I see me helping people which in turn helps me and helps me grow. I see me helping the needy and making this world a better place.

While I know my reality right now feels small, and I have tears going down my cheeks from this trying time – I know I am strong and that even though I am sick to my stomach, I can do this. I will make it through this.

You can too. Believe in yourself. Good things are meant for all of us. We ALL deserve to live the life of our dreams. Have STRENGTH. No one can take your strength, never let them.
