Inspire to Aspire! What does that mean? It has multitudes of meanings to so many different people. I have been told I have a story telling gift. I should write a book. I should call it Inspire to Aspire.
As I have traveled this journey of life, there have been encounters of hurt, storms, challenges, love, inspiration, support, gratitude, blessings, miracles, magic, angels, and places where I am in awe of the beauty that is around me. God has been my inspiration in life. His guidance has brought me through the amazing journeys.
I believe that every child should be inspired to Aspire! Someone in their life should inspire them to grow and develop into loving, healthy adults.
As I look back at the life I have inspired so many times but something got in the way of my inspirations. I might of hurt someone's feelings and way to many times, I may have said some things that chased some people out of my life and for that I am sorry. What I am not sorry for is to stand up for what I believe is right and safe and I say that because not everyone believes what I believe. I have a strong faith but on the other side I have tremendous anxiety. I fight those demons everyday. I have fought panic attacks and anxiety that brings me to my knees. I am a people pleaser, fixer and overly responsible person. That makes it hard some days to generate energy to fill your cup.
I have hidden so many of those demons from others. I find myself in a pit some days. As I continue on this journey called life I want to be an inspiration to everyone yet it is not possible to inspire everyone that crosses your path. Everyone's journey is different and everyone's demons are different. I can only do my best and some days that is hard. Jesus died for our sins and I know that each day I wake up and ask for my sins to be forgiven that will be honored. Not by any human being because they have choices, but I know Jesus will forgive.
I have chosen this career because I wanted to inspire children and adults that struggle in their life a chance to Aspire for more. They don't have to struggle, they can be an inspiration to others at least for a moment in time. I want to give my heart and soul to God to assist me to inspire others. I fall short so many days, especially when the anxiety is high. I love people, animals and especially children. I love people that have to deal with life's storms. I know those storms can be a place where our coping mechanism's just disappear. In nature we can breath and relax and enjoy the beauty. Animals give us the ability to overcome fears and breath and enjoy their presence. Combine nature, animals, and children and we can inspire to aspire.
ASPIRE is truly a gift from God! I am so blessed to have touched so many lives! I am living my dream and for that I am blessed and grateful for the chance to be on this journey even in the midst of storms.
