Everyday for the next year I will be posting a new Inspirational Rule to consider living by. I hope you enjoy. Rule #173 4/6/16 We did not ask to be born into hardships, ounce we get old enough to make our own decisions, we can no longer blame our parents for the circumstances we experienced, I am quite sure deep down they truly planned for us to have a better life, so it is important that we start taking responsibility for ourselves, our surroundings, and the quality of our choices, learning how to make the best of everything that happens. ~Will "Story" Rivera

Starting is the most important aspect of any dream, goal or need. We can feed ourselves excuses or solutions the choice is always ours. When we truly want something we will find a way - when we don't we will find an excuse.
Strive to stay aligned with your highest potential and live, learn and love from that perspective. See only the possibilities and not the blockages. Its not only OK to go past what seems impossible it also fun and healthy to live with the belief that giving up is no longer an option. ~Will "Story" Rivera Everyday for the next year I will be posting a new Inspirational Rule to consider living by.

Individuals who jump in subway trail lines and pull people out or dive into wild waters to rescue the fallen. The face of bravery has changed and there are those who deliver the essence of bravery in everyday ordinary acts. The souls who refuse to conform and those who stay true to who they are.
There are souls who battle the voice of what society deems is right or wrong - day in and day out and still remain unmoved in thier decisions. There are souls who face family and friends daily who criticize and belittle their dreams and still never lose the hope to follow what the heart calls for. Some people speak up when every bone in their body shakes and still they find the fire to speak what is right rather than what is easy. See bravery isn't always just one act of heroism - there are people out there who fight battles tirelessly everyday, silent heroes among us. You won't see them on the news or in the papers, but they are there and they are fighting - they are Brave. To all the brave souls out there - your light is noticed, may you continue to change hearts in the most inspiring ways.

Rule #169 4/2/16 The Differences Teach Us Its through our differences we gain knowledge and wisdom, its through our differences we gain insight through other perspectives, other options, other ways to live, other creativity, other traditions, other inventions, other spiritual gifts and awareness, it is through our differences we go farther as planet rather than a country, a race, a gender, a sexual preference, its because of our differences this world less monotonous, our differences are exactly what allows us to be unique yet connected, it is through these differences our world changes and we coexist equally with all beings, without the need for separation only understanding, to truly see that each soul on this planet has something to teach us and is here on purpose just like we are, its only by accepting our differences will we ever unite as one. ~Will "Story" Rivera
Everyday for the next year I will be posting a new Inspirational Rule to consider living by. I hope you enjoy. Rule #168 4/1/16 Loss = Win I know what loss feels like, I know what it feels like to think love was wasted and swim in a sea of regrets and what if's, thinking what we could have done differently, maybe we should have fought harder or had less pride, maybe if we were better people things would never have ended in the first place, I know what it feels like to let someone go when all you ever wanted was to have them with you, to be the better person when everything inside of us is raging, when there is more anger than peace, when there is no hope in going back or moving forward and we stay stuck in this tortured replay of our own vivid memories, and we die inside with buried screams and tears of pain, and we want to take it out on the first situation that comes our way, but still by the grace of god and the fact that we love them more than ourselves we find the courage to release them, even when our hearts and minds disagree.
We know all too well we cannot hold on to something that does not wish to be held on to, so we let go and let god and we curse the whole ride through because their happiness is more important than our own and at the time it feels like we will never experience that kind of love again, it feels like our chest is about to cave in, there is no air, no hope, no light, no reason to want to live our lives anymore, this emptiness that seems to find its way in everything we do and say, we've cried so long our tears are dehydrated, and we internalize everything and pretend to be strong, we put our mask on and walk around like zombies instead of seeing the experience and learning from it we stay stuck wallowing in misery. - Yeah I know what that feels like, I am living proof live does goes on with or with out us, but I can tell you this, there is so much more out there than our emotions lead us on to believe and the day will come for us to love again even if its learning to love ourselves and life truly is beautiful, I learned to use my emotions as the fuel to push me forward, I've learned nothing lasts forever so I make the best of this moment no matter what, I look back with gratitude, the sorrow still exists only I have learned to make peace with it, it has humbled me on this journey but most important I have learned to never give up and to never fear experiencing new experiences and for me that says a lot; just like caterpillars the moment we feel our lives are truly over is the same moment our lives begin - to all my butterflies - ~Will "Story" Rivera |
