a little inspiration

Today is one of those days where I need some inspiration. And one of the most inspirational things I did this year was create a list of my 12 commandments. Out of the 12, three really stuck out to me and I combined them to create not only the theme of this blog, but also my personal mission statement: Be Bold. Have Faith. Embrace Beauty. 

As the year comes to a close, I realize I need to keep my mantra in mind more now than ever. A new year means time for a fresh start. And boy, do I need it. The end of this year was a total whirlwind and I feel like some personal goals of mine have fallen by the wayside as a result. Next year, I want to re-commit to living out my mission statement every day. 


Be Bold  Be Bold. 
Dive in 100%. Live out my passions. Speak up. Stay Strong. 
 
 
Monday's Mantra: have faith.
Have faith. 
Pray often. Look on the bright side. Be confident. Trust. 
 

Embrace beauty. 
  See the good. Affirm others. Open up. Enjoy the ride.

Next year, I plan on being more intentional about blogging around these themes and I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on how well I'm sticking to my personal mission statement. As for now, even just writing about these three commandments has already improved my mood significantly. I guess that's the power of positive thinking.

I hope you find something today that inspires you and may you continue to have inspiration into the new year!
