When you stumble onto opportunity to help. Realize that you are included in the beauty of doing so.

There are moments throughout your life when you will beg for anything to keep you going. It is incredible how exactly what you needed was in front of you the whole time while your eyes were closed.

My outlook and reaction today toward something so simple was able to be an experience so beautiful that it was somewhat hard to understand. I went to buy a Christmas tree with my brother and family for his home. They brought me to a Christmas Tree Shop that was operated and run by recovering addicts and people in need of help. The donations and funds went toward helping the people in these facilities that found so much happiness in simply having a goal and regaining an image of worth. I stood in the middle of this Tree Shop and I cried. I cried with such a deep stare at absolutely everything in hopes that my heart would extend to all of these employees with an obvious understanding and new strength to keep them going. I held such a respect toward their attempt to find whatever it was that they were looking for. I spoke with 6 people that worked there and opened my heart I opened it with all it has to offer to be able to finally speak the words of a better life that they are on the path to discovering. Every single thing I have ever doubted in life came to a halt. It also has validated everything that I have come to believe within my ability to help people. The smallest things are capable of making the biggest differences when going through changes. There is so much to learn and so much emotion and growth that happens through the process. The old me that lays dormant tries to shadow all that I have become and all that I will be moving forward in my life. That evil place in me will no longer surface and that is because I will not allow it to. It is so easy to become wrapped up in misery and sadness. It is so special to think that you are tired of the mistakes enough to pull through them all. It is devastating to fall time and time again after that. All of this is so valid through the journey and such an important part to breaking the repeated habits. Grabbing onto all of the turbulent times we have failed and building it into our unbreakable foundations is the only way we can build what it takes to hold our hope. It is so empowering to get to a point in finding what you want. It is almost as if you are able to look at others and see so deeply into their being that you feel with them. You have been there so many countless times that you can feel their pain and feel yours at the same time. On the other side of that, you also are on a journey that is capable of instilling hope in others that may be so eager that all they need is a conversation built around holding on for better times. Do not loose sight of your role in the small things you do because they can change lives and it will begin with yours. You are everything that you put into the universe so be sure that everything you do is everything you want to be.
