Life begins at the end of your comfort zone… This quote affects me directly. My life once way completely a routine. Work 4 days a week, go to school the other 3. Everyday I interacted with the same people! It was not until I traveled out of my country that I learned how crucial it is to leave your comfort zone. It’s scary at first, but once take that first step, your life will never be the same!

My Gratitude Journal Every morning I wake up and I write at least 5 things that I’m grateful for. At first it was difficult to get adjusted to, but once I was on the routine I found myself craving to write in my journal to give thanks for my lovely life. The benefits from creating this profound habit were instant! My life not only is overflowed with joy, but I also began writing gratitude intentions. I give thanks for people, places, and things that haven’t occurred in my life yet. My journal never let’s me down. With this knowledge I became more confident that being grateful will change my life, which makes me more grateful! I recommend all of you to begin a gratitude journal, each day write five things that you’re grateful for. Gratitude gives back. Through gratitude you will magnetize to you the energy of people, circumstances, and events that will bring all good into your life!

This is a picture I took myself in the extraordinary city, Amsterdam. My friend and I were so blessed to have two of the most amazing girls we’ve ever met give us a tour of their hometown while riding bicycles. Most people when they think of Amsterdam they affiliate it with marijuana and witnessing the hookers on the red light district (2 activities you must check off your bucket list) but it is SO much more than that! There are more bicycles than cars on the road, the canals, like the one in the picture are breathtaking, and what stood out the most to me was how the locals are free spirited, and care free. I’ll never forget the lesson I learned this day while riding my bike, the wind blowing in my hair, and smelling weed on every corner ;) Life is too short to live in fear, so stop holding yourself back. LET GO AND BE FREE ❤️
