Hola!
Happy new year! We know it’s February but couldn’t post this last month!
The recent events have made us treasure meaningful conversations with those we are still able to connect with. Recently, we had a great conversation that led to a breakthrough.
We talked about purpose that day: how crucial it is to have a vision, a mission, a purpose and make it happen.
When we first started our online business, we outlined our mission, vision, and purpose. We were clear on what we needed to do to reach all our goals and get to our destination.
But the truth is, we would say there are still times where we can get shaken. Why? Because our emotions get in the way and we want to win. When this happens, the feelings of discouragement are strong.
Do you ever feel this way?
We know many folks are not so inspired moving into the new year. Our emotions and frustrations have been so great this year, because many things that happened were simply out of our control.
We are the type of people who are quite driven and strong. This is often a good thing, but the downside is that we can also get so frustrated if we are not in life where "we want to be" or "should be".
But can we really control that? We can advise others to focus on what they can control, but when it comes to us, it’s difficult to always live what we preach.
Well, through this conversation, we were reminded that there is power in doing three things every day:
1. Honoring our creator
Prayer time daily, setting aside this time no matter what
2. Honesty with ourselves and others
Asking for what we need, being able to say
“yes” or “no” at the right times
3. Having a grateful mindset
Being thankful for what we have, acknowledging our wealth of resources and value in non-material things…and with that comes peace.
As we continue to fulfill our mission and our purpose, we are able to share love with others and be at peace with the journey.
We see that even if we are not where we want to be right now, it is okay. Because there are so many blessings and lessons to be learned in the journey of life. And that is a thought that brings us perfect peace.
Listen to this quote we came across this from our daily devotional:
A purpose will motivate you.
A purpose will keep your priorities straight.
A purpose will develop your potential.
A purpose will give you power to live in the present.
A purpose will help you evaluate your progress.
As you, friends and family, face this new year, always remind yourself of your purpose. Go back to it, and know that wherever you are right now, you are learning.
“Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
It’s a real power to be able to live in the present, to know peace, and to pursue your God-given purpose.
Share with us the things you have found helpful in your daily routine, what you do when you feel shaken. And if there is anything in this blog that inspired you for today, please post in the comments below! We love reading all your notes and messages.
Con Amor,
Henry & Alexandra
