Perceive, React, Surpass

On By Emily WIn Inspiration, Motivation, Quotes, WritingLeave a comment

I began working at a new company today. HOORAY!! 🙂
I’d have to say that starting at a new place, doing something new is totally exciting, yes – totally empowering, yes – Scary? Absolutely.
“That’s a normal feeling, Emily!” “You’ll do great, Emily!” ALL things we have all heard, yet we have this fear inside of the unknown, most of the time.
Why? I kept asking myself. Lock it up, Emily, I kept telling myself.
And of course the second you step into the newness, the feelings of anxiety subside and it’s really not that bad, is it?

The questions we create in our minds and the doubts we have, stem from a natural conditioning to feel those things, however, we can also condition ourselves to get past that and instead, feel way less anxious about any new scenario by mindful practicing of positive thinking and positive self talk. (whew that was a long sentence/thought.)

I opened up my Timehop app after a few hours of being at work and BAM, a universal message that came back to me, which I had written three years ago was right in my face:

“Every new day holds a situation that is meant to teach you a lesson(s) and once we are open to the idea of ‘being’ and ‘letting be’ it becomes clearer and easier to follow your gut, your heart. 

We are exactly where we are supposed to be in life. 

It’s all about how you choose to perceive, react and surpass.”

Perfect, don’t you think?
😉

Love and Light, my friends.

“Whatever is making your Soul,
Feel Whole.
Do that.”
– EMW

I am limitless.
I am Infinite.
I am wealthy in abundance, love, kindness and peace.
And so it is!

We must believe that which we want to be true about ourselves.
We must act, on those beliefs and live through actions, not words.
Walk the talk.
Dont just Talk the talk.

We are limitless.

All We Need Is Love

On By Emily WIn Inspiration, Motivation, Poetry, Quotes, Writing7 Comments

Everything needs love. Humans, animals, plants, situations, thoughts, our world.
Everything thrives when there is love. Personalities, solutions, our world.

The event that took place in Orlando on the 11th was devastating.
As were the shootings, bombings, and every other type of killing there has been in this world. 
We see an array of reactions and emotions towards the events, and how people deal with them: Anger, sadness, frustration, fear… Then comes the love, the unity.

Reading articles and posts from friends about this particular tragedy has made me feel every emotion on the spectrum, but I hadn’t found quite exactly how I wanted to articulate or what I wanted to articulate in regards to any of it..
Then it hit me:

Love. Love, unity, and peace should be the things we strive for as a whole – community and society. 
It should be where we start with ourselves because when one knows internal love and peace, it is what comes out from their soul.
Be the example. Lead. Help. Give.

There will be shitty people in this world, but it’s simple not to be one.

All we need is love.

My thoughts and prayers for the victims and their families.

Be the Peace, people.
Be the Love.

“We must create, not destroy.
We must unite, not divide.
We must Love, not hate.”

Solutions

On By Emily WIn Inspiration, Motivation, Writing5 Comments

Every little thing, every situation that one doesn’t see clearly at first, always has a solution.
This is something I think we all need to remember when we get stressed out, flustered or frustrated.

Maybe you can’t figure out how to do a task at work, maybe you’re having a hard time finding the right melody for a song, maaaaaybe you’re just not on your A-Game for LIFE on a day.. THAT’S OKAY! Every one of those things, as well as every single other scenario, has a solution.

Feeling like everything is a cluster-f*ck? Start by throwing things out or re-organizing(personally doing this at the moment in my house).
Feeling like each day is an ordinary routine? Switch up the route which you go home/go somewhere! Do something NEW.
I have found that when life starts to feel unsatisfactory, it usually only takes one small thing that your eyes haven’t ‘seen’ to hit your soul right in the feels, and BAM, you’re back to smiling or at least to feeling a bit more alive.

We are, after all, human. So yes, our brains+thoughts get the best of us sometimes – we have to remember we are souls of infinite Love, not just the ego we hold within.

Remember, to, breathe.
Everything, has a solution.

Alive

On By Emily WIn Inspiration, Motivation, Poetry, Writing2 Comments

It’s all breathing,
It’s all feeling,
Looking alive,
It’s so divine,
The touch of the wind on ones face,
None of it can be replaced.
Trials and challenges, with those we are faced,
But one mustn’t get caught up in the rat race.
Life is lovely,
Can’t you see?
Look to the sky, look to the trees…
Gaia, all breathing,
All feeling,
So divine,
Thank you for giving me wings to fly.

She Became Wild Within

On By Emily WIn Inspiration, Motivation, Poetry, WritingLeave a comment


“She became wild within,
As if the chains and ropes had disappeared,
But it was a different freedom,
A different wild..
The gaze in her eyes taken over by some other form of life that had never been experienced before.
Yet the void of a loss, so deep, so fresh,
Making her soul cling..
‘Fly..’ She heard..
‘Trust me..’
So she flew.
And she was free.”

C’est La Vie – France

On By Emily WIn Inspiration, Photography, WritingLeave a comment

…The journey of a thousand miles, begins with one single step…

This is an exerpt from the album created on my Facebook from my travels to France this past December/January.
As I recently posted, I had lost my father and my grandmother within three weeks of each other, but I was blessed enough to go on this journey, which helped me start to get through everything.

** Photos will continue to be added as I edit them, there are still about 1200 I need to go through! 🙂 **

“What a surreal ending to 2015 and beginning to 2016. Lots of laughs yet so many tears. Two of the greatest people in my life left this earth, leaving a gigantic hole in my heart and soul. 
However, such is life. You must keep moving on.. Open your eyes and mind to the world around you.. Look for the signs.. Everything will be alright.

Every day is a blessing.
I am so grateful for the support while I’ve been away and re-establishing pieces of me, of my soul.
I thank those who I saw on this trip to France and who opened up their world to me.
And I thank my dad and my grandmother for giving me the opportunity to even begin this journey. 

It’s all divine timing.

Lots of love. <3″
