Destiny, thoughts and happiness...

I don't follow my destiny, I make my destiny. The person that I am today has been shaped by the decisions that I have made and I will continue to change constantly to reach my potential. 

I have reached the point in my life right now that can seem confusing.  I have noticed that I can finally say that the world is my playground and mean it and that I can choose to do what I want and also choose to broaden my horizons. This is such an amazing feeling, knowing that I am once again the person that I was meant to be. 

I love knowing that I can meet a new person every day and connect with them on some level. I love knowing that every person that I meet and talk to somehow has an influence on my life. The more people I interact with, the more I learn and see the world from a broader perspective. 

Today it feels as if I won the happiness lottery. Everything that happens, happens for a reason and it all happened just so I can finally say, I am happy, I am  content, I am grateful, I am happy to be me. That was something that I could never say before, I was always searching for something else, something more, striving to be perfect.

I know now that being perfect isn't what matters, what matters is embracing the person that I am today and improving myself, not to be perfect, but to be better person.

A better person who loves more, cares more, discovers more and  gives more.

Can I really claim that this is a confusing time in my life?

That answer would be no, I am on a path of self discovery and I am loving it, I am shaping my destiny and my world one thought at a time...

I can be a tourist...

I went to the Empire State building!

I'm actually really afraid of heights and I dislike the cold, but the view was entirely worth it.
Plus knowing someone who can help you skip the four hour line is even better.

See, so I can be a tourist in Manhattan, but only if there are shortcuts...

Sunshine...

Within a week, my life has changed. So much so that I cannot even start to explain...

All that I do know is that everything happens for a reason, after tears there is joy and life is an amazing thing.
Some days I still want to cry, but not today. Today has been wonderful. I'm finally learning how to accept changes and how to live one day at a time.
This is probably the biggest lesson that life has taught me so far.

I am not the same person that I was a week ago and I'm okay with that. Life is unpredictable and people change constantly and change is probably one of the most painful things to go through, but it's also one of the best things to survive.

One step at a time, one sunrise at a time and a whole field of possibilities.

So bring on the sunshine, today is a new day!
