Letter To My Younger Self

Hello Little Lory,

Look at you, all full of life and dreams in this picture!

Eye see you!

I Love You, and I am proud of who you will become.

Please allow me to share a few bits of wisdom with you:

You have always been and will always be an artist; never, ever give up on your creative mind - it is your salvation and your sanity in a world that might not feel fair sometimes.

Remember that You Can't change anyone who does not think their behavior is wrong. Only those willing to improve themselves will make that change.

You can't make someone love you just as no one can make you love them. The heart is free - it is not bounded by perception!

Don't let your empathy block your throat Chakra.

You can be kind and speak your mind.

You don't have to be silent in order to accommodate others. 

Choose your words compassionately but speak up.

Believe in yourself with everything you've got, no matter how difficult it may appear.

When you believe you can't go much farther, that's when you can!

Keep your inner child alive.

Follow your heart - it knows the truth.

Master your mind - your thoughts create your reality.

Fear is a Wolf.

Chase the wolf, and you'll never be afraid of the things you once feared.

Give yourself permission to grieve, to feel the pain, and to let it go.

Don't hold your doubts in for too long - they will multiply.

Anger is a poison you do not want to drink - it eats you from within.

Always help others even if you are going through darkness yourself.

Helping others balances the energy within.

Do not dwell on negative thoughts.

Don't let anyone ever tell you your dreams are out of reach. 

Only YOU know your full potential.

Don't ever judge yourself in comparison to others. 

Instead, judge yourself against what you know you're capable of.

Be your own competitor!

Nobody can change you but yourself. 

Be aware of anyone who attempts to mold you into their ideal.

Appreciate the little things in life.

You are not what you Think you are.

You are what you Know you are!

Know it - Own it!

You are capable of anything you put your mind to.

Do not depend on anyone to make decisions for you.

Don't worry about getting knocked down.

Instead, focus on getting back up.

The family you're born with ultimately isn't as important as the family you create yourself. Choose wisely!

The people who truly love you don't see all the flaws you see. 

Learn to see yourself through their eyes.

The scars you can't see are worse than those you can. 

Heal them, and you'll heal yourself.

Happiness is an inner journey - it does not come from the outside.

Look for a companion who inspires you to be your greatest self.

Physical attraction is just the tip of the iceberg in your relationship.

If there is no depth, there is nothing in the long run.

Karma takes notes.

What goes around comes around - send out the good energy you want to receive.

Once you admit that you truly know nothing, life's real education begins.

Motherhood is all about loving, understanding, and accepting your children for who they choose to be.

Allow them to make that choice - their future depends on it.

A day without learning something is a day lost.

Don't be too hard on yourself - remember that you are human.

Don't allow the highs or lows to grow too high or too low.

The secret to happiness is found in balance.

There are no mistakes - only lessons.

You fail only when you give up.

Listen to any advice and criticism, but also know when to disregard it altogether.

Think before you speak - you can't take back regretful words.

Better to say nothing than to say a hurtful thing.

Invest solely in those who are eager to invest in you. 

Toxic individuals and "takers" drain your energy.

Learn to accept the unconditional love you deserve, and to give it tenfold in return.

Turning 50 isn't as scary as you think.

Even though the person in the mirror may look a little older and have a few more silver hairs, you still feel like a kid inside.

Later in your life, your journey will take a 180 turn.

You will find yourself facing a big mountain to climb.

Climb it!

DON'T BE AFRAID.

You are going to do something really really brave.

You are going to turn your life around - on your own.

Know that YOU CAN, and YOU WILL.

You will thank yourself for your courage.

When you think you are stuck in a corner, that's when you rise to the highest.

DON'T BE AFRAID!!!

I am right here, on the other side, waiting for you to grow into me, and I can tell you that it is all worth it; every single pain and joy!

Everything you do has a purpose - it takes You to Me.

I Am Here…For You~

I LOVE YOU!

Come to me ~
