Turning the Mess into a Message.

Will "Story" Rivera
The spiritual journey we take within ourselves is one of the most scary, exciting, liberating adventures we will ever experience in our lives, peeling away our layers,  understanding ourselves, finding our divine purpose, facing all the dark parts and making peace; ultimately discovering the beautiful soul that dwells within our hearts. 

This is my life and these are my words
I write. I speak. I inspire.

I have come to the conclusion that I am LOVE, plain and simple and titles are meaningless unless we ourselves choose to lead by example.

This is who I am, those who cross my path, even if just for a brief moment, leave with a deep inspiration for their purpose, its an activation of sorts, where fear no longer rules choices, and clarity of the inner voice becomes pronounce. My words go directly to your heart. 

I Live to Inspire

I do what I can with what I have to help others as often as possible, whether its free workshops, acts of random kindness, motivational speaking, life coaching, volunteering, feeding the homeless, helping a friend, free counseling, being silly and making others laugh, taking care of all beings as family, sharing my love with all whom cross my path, helping others to help themselves or just being there for someone as a human being; my life is dedicated to service to others. 
We cant miss out that which we have never experienced, its guaranteed we miss all the attempts we don't make, the answer will always be no if we are too afraid to ask, true love cant exist if we do not love ourselves first, just some basics for life that I have learned the hard way, giving up has crossed my mind more times than I would like to admit, but I am still here, learning, excited to be alive and breathing, every day for me now is beyond amazing, I look forward to all my experiences and challenges, its like a game to me, always proving to myself I can create something positive out of nothing, like magic, every circumstance an opportunity to learn from, its just the way my eyes have focused to see and understand life itself, these days I live moment to moment, fully aware that my time here is not promised to me, living free, looking through the eyes of my soul, complete understanding that my life has always been beautiful.

Why DO What I Do?

I am just trying to find my place, trying to figure this life out just like everyone else, helping the misguided souls whenever I can, opening my heart and being brave, brave enough to speak, brave enough to own up to my mistakes, brave enough to face my demons, never ashamed of who I am or the person I once was, every day for me is an opportunity to grow, a chance to recognize my worth, because sometimes I do forget, sometimes I do get lost, I am just a traveling soul, wondering this beautiful universe. 
I have purpose now, and although I am in my infancy of discovering how to tap into my gifts fully, I can tell you this, before I ventured on this journey I felt useless, broken, it wasn’t that I needed love or companionship, no perfect job with perfect employees was going to fill the void I felt, no partnership, friends or family was going to make me all right, it was like there was a huge hole in the center of my heart, I was shattered pieces of my own self, disgusted with the world and all the horrible occurrences, I was the epitome of self doubt, it was not until the point I recognized my gifts, my purpose, did I come to understand that life had meaning, and we are all pieces of the bigger plan, we are the plan, and without that self discovery we sometimes feel lost, as if we don’t even belong here, but when you come to realize that every single particle in this very universe has amazing talents and purpose, you start to think to yourself and quiet your thoughts, and that is when life becomes clear, and you realize at that very moment, we were created to be so much more than we could ever imagine. ~Will "Story" Rivera
