Why I Live For Failure
I have made more mistakes than I can count since I became a mother. Shit, I have made more mistakes than I can count in just my 20s. I'm the first to admit that I am not a perfect person, let alone a perfect mother. But my failures are the greatest blessings I have ever endured. It took me entirely too long to realize what my favorite high school teacher was talking about when she told me "If you fall on your face, at least you're still moving forward." Granted, when you make a mistake as a new mother, falling on your face hurts a lot worse. It feels like every failure is ten times worse than it actually is because you suddenly have this tiny human who's relying on you to not fail. But after many long crying sessions in the shower and smoking in the backyard during nap time, I learned something pretty substantial that I think I need to share; you don't have to not fail, you just have to not stop trying when you do fail.

Do you know what your birth chart says? Or, do you even know what a birth chart is? Your birth chart is based off of the time, location, and date of your birth. At the time when you were born, every planet and star and thing up there in the universe was in a specific place. Doesn't seem like it matters, but it absolutely does. Your birth chart displays where all those planets and stuff were, and this contributes to the magic that is your personality.

Silena Le BeauPublished 6 years ago in MotivationHi! My Name Is: Kyrsta (Who Am I?) My Self-discovery
Hi there! I'm Kyrsta and today I am writing this to share my journey of finding and loving myself. As long as I can remember, I have felt insecure—some reasons being genetic: not pencil thin, cowlicks in my hair, sparse eye brows, and of course bad teeth that required braces. All that is enough for most young girls, but I also got to live in my sister's shadow; my sister being a 6'2" pencil thin model with cheek bones that could cut you and the perfect candid laugh/smile combo to rock any picture at any angle, any time of the day. So I guess you could say from a young age I felt invisible. Sometimes that fact was horrible and I just wanted to be noticed, but other times it was a blessing and I didn't have to face people and they didn't need to see me.
Kyrsta MorehousePublished 6 years ago in MotivationThe Journey of Self Discovery
When I first started this journey, I had no idea what I was even getting myself into, and I feel now, looking back, that I was just putting my toes in this big ocean of knowledge that resides in me. Now several months later, I realize how deep this ocean goes, and it’s mind-boggling. Its absolutely unreal who we are, and what we are capable of. I feel like a giddy school girl who has just discovered the big secret of life, and I want to tell everyone about it!

“In a wide variety of traditions, a Spiritual Journey is seen as a path toward one or more of the following: a higher state of awareness, the perfection of one’s own being, wisdom, or communion with God or with creation.”
Osana WasutPublished 6 years ago in MotivationHow to Beat Low Self-esteem
“I’m a loser.” “I’m not good at anything.” “How could anyone love me?” I am no stranger to inner thoughts like these. As an introverted, sensitive person with health issues that limit me physically, I have always found it difficult to fit in with the crowd and been the target of countless bullies, and so ever since my childhood I have struggled to find my self-worth.
Skye BothmaPublished 6 years ago in MotivationWhat Is Your Soul Mission?
In our daily lives, we sometimes feel despaired; we lose hope and faith when things do not go right. We forget how to respond to our inner intuition. Realizing your nature as an eternal, infinite, and integral soul holds many gifts for you to explore and offer to the world. Your inner intuition and inner voice guide you through life and answers many of your questions, listen to it and trust yourself to follow your greatest joys. This does not mean that you have to forget your role as a parent, family member, friend, church member, etc. To find out what your inner soul purpose is, start with what you do when you wake up in the morning and aside from each activity, make a check mark as to whether or not it makes you a happier, healthier, better version of you or not. This step is all about awareness, not judgment, or even action. Be honest with yourself; don't hold back any feelings or judge yourself. Once you have completed this task, you will have a better understanding of what your soul purposes are.
Maydha Rani SheomangalPublished 6 years ago in MotivationThe Truth About My Vitiligo
I wanted to write something a bit more personal. One thing I've grown to dislike about social media, which I have found myself doing as well, is almost creating a smoke screen between myself and the realm of the internet, because I was scared to be vulnerable. I realised that although I was putting myself out there I wasn't really connecting with anyone. I don't really like that so I want to re-define my presence on the gram and everywhere else where I reside on the internet. And I'm starting with this blog.

Humanity is at a crucial point in our evolutionary trajectory. We now have the information and ability to heal the wounds of the past and move forward like never before. All the avenues are open to us, but we can get stuck in various patterns and tendencies that can slow us down, such as addiction and codependency.

What is loneliness exactly? We all seem to experience this feeling, but how many of us really understand it? I've felt lonely enough throughout my own life that it's given me plenty of time to examine it, to experiment with it, and to eventually overcome it.

For years I've searched for the thing that I'd be great at. I'm sure millions have done the same and come to similar results. It's been ingrained in me through media, society, teachers, and parents that we all have a purpose. I suppose... But what is that purpose? I've never had any aspirations to become a professional anything. So I'm not exactly shocked at where I am in life.
