Take responsibility for your own actions
People who consider themselves victims of their circumstances will always remain victims unless they develop a greater vision for their lives.
Incredible words of wisdom
Today my very blunt, very passionate, and VERY Greek boss told me something I will never forget. He looked me dead straight in the eyes, and said to me “you have a presence about you that I don’t think you are quite aware of yet. You have a very peaceful and powerful demeanor that you must take advantage of.” He was very solemn when he said that he knows that I will be very successful in life. He went on to say that he could see me working in a very big corporation someday, naming “Nike” as one of them.
I was blown away, and felt so empowered to hear this from someone that has had so much life experience. To hear him be so heartfelt, and honest with me was so incredibly encouraging! I will never forget his heartening words of wisdom. Thank you, Costa.

Keep looking, you won't find it.
I find that I make myself happier than anyone else in this world ever could.
True happiness is never found outside the self...ever.

You can only attain bliss if you don't chase it
For love day this year my boy and I shared a bottle of Pinot Noir and chocolate dipped strawberries, while we danced to the Smithsonian Collection of classic jazz; featuring Louie Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Billy Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and many others! We drank our wine, conversed about anything that was on our mind, and stood by the bathroom mirror making faces and taking pictures of each other trying to cross our eyes; only to discover that I cannot cross my eyes haha!!
Ryan is my very best friend, I love him in so many ways and for so many reasons. He knows me, and understands me like no one else ever could. He believes in my dreams, and cares about my feelings. He makes me laugh so hard, and smile so often. We've only had maybe 3 or 4 tiffs the entire time we've been together; he makes my life so easy! He's a friend to all of my friends, and has my back if someone ever crosses me. He has a way of bringing out the very best in me, I am so blessed to have a friend like him!

These are some of the photos I'm using in my most recent hobby/project.
I've been putting together a photo album of me in my 20's. It's so cool because I've been going through all these photos of me with friends and family, and I really have had A LOT of fun so far! This project is getting me excited about more fun times to come, and new experiences to share. I think I'm going to do a photo album for my "early twenties", my "late twenties" and my thirties. I think it will be cool to see how I've grown and it will be something special to show my kids some day!
To whom it may concern:
To the people in my past that have had ill intent, or tried to bring me down, I just wanted to say "Thank you." I see you in such a different light now that I'm standing at a great enough distance; now I have the right perspective. You have made me stronger, and all the more powerful. You are my motivation and have made me realize all the power I own within myself. I have learned so much from you, Thank You.
Thanks for listening,

Don't sweat the small stuff
Almost every day I play a game with myself that I like to call "time warp." This game of mine was made up in response to my consistent, erroneous belief that what I was all worked up about was really important.
To play "time warp," all you have to do is imagine that whatever circumstance you are dealing with isn't happening right now but a year from now. Then simply ask yourself, "Is this situation really as important as I'm making it out to be?" Once in a great while it might be, but a vast majority of the time, it simply isn't.
Whether it be an argument with a friend, a mistake, a lost opportunity, lost keys, whatever it may be, chances are, a year from now you aren't going to care. It will be one more irrelevant detail in your life. Playing a simple game like this can sometimes give you an enormous amount of needed perspective. I find myself laughing at things that I used to take far too seriously.
Now, rather than using up my energy feeling angry and overwhelmed, I can use it instead on spending time with people that matter to me, and engage in creative thinking.
Thanks for listening,
Kelly Robyn
