New Beginnings

Beginning: an act or circumstance of entering upon an action or state:

“And now let us welcome the new year, full of things that never were.”

- Rainer Maria Rilke

I’ve been starting over and over again. This year it is time to follow through. So much has changed over the past year. I’ve grown and learned so much. I’ve finally realized that all of this preparation was worth the wait. While I have always been hard on myself, I was hyper-critical over the past six months.

After much searching, I am in a place of peace. I’ve reached the understanding that in order to give my best, I have to be my best. For Endless Possibiliteas to thrive, I have to constantly remind myself why I started. I must remember that, generational research at the expense of personal growth is the professional development necessary to succeed.

This week’s words come from studying each of the 7 Chakras. With this week being about the Service for Self, it is only right that I start our first Passionate Youth blog (of the year) defining and expressing how I plan to protect and display these energies going forward. They are in order of importance for this week.

Love

Self Love is the most important value this week. Everything I do from here on out needs to begin with love. I will love myself unconditionally. I will love myself enough to keep going even when I don’t feel like it. I will love myself because I know that others need to see it.

Know

I will cherish what I know. My experiences, both past and present, continue to teach me. I am passionate about learning and want to learn all there is to know. Knowing is a journey of experience and analysis. It is my duty to only speak about the things that I know.

Speak

I will speak my truth. This journey is about being authentic. It’s about releasing and not holding back. I am doing the work to make it the norm. Speaking up is the only way to dispel stigmas of all kinds. I have to speak so that I others will feel safe enough to do so as well.

Do

Everything I do is for someone else. I am laying a foundation of wellness. I can no longer just plan, now I also have to do. I have to take action in order to create reactions. Actions are the physical manifestation of the person that lives inside. I will do all that I can to be who I am.

Am

I am the change I want to see in the world. I will be the very essence of what I want others to strive for. While my journey is full of possibiliteas curated for me; I will be an example of what it looks like to follow your path. I am responsible for sharing how I feel.

Feel

I will flow with how I feel. I will not let my feelings weigh me down or hold me back. Feeling can be overwhelming at times. Feeling deeply is also a strong catalyst for art, in any form. I find that I am the best artist I can be when I am in-tune with my feelings and not avoiding them. I feel so I will create.

Create

I will create an opportunitea for others to better themselves. This is my purpose; my life's work. Creating is big outlet for all of my energies. I will create a brighter future for Kimei and the Kimei's to come. I will leave a legacy of wellness and wealth for all of the generations that will follow.

This week’s post is filled with affirmations. Things that I will recite everyday to encourage myself. The practice of studying chakras is an enlightening journey that helps you to learn more about yourself. It helps to understand your energies; understand how you harvest the power inside.
