I know this quote below has much to do with acceptance and possibly forgiveness, but I’d like to add… Often holding on to what was is a lot worse than what is. Often holding on to what we “thought” was is a lot worse than what is. To let go is to find hope and peace in what is… Focus on becoming and welcoming all the moments that have yet to be created/experienced. My question to you is…what’s next? Not what was. 🙏✨ And of course there is a place in our hearts for cherished memories. 🙏💛

For those that endured and survived a Life Quake and came out stronger because of it… I feel you. I see you. 💪💛

Ask yourself, would you rather live a quality life or a quantity life? 🤔 I’m pretty sure we have no control of the latter. You know the saying, “a thousand is never enough”. Our impulses tell us more, more, more but facts are you can’t have it all. Sorry, It’s just not possible. Keep chasing quantity and let me know how that goes. My guess is when you finally catch your target then there will be another one better and then better than that and so on and so on and ohh, there’s a good chance you’ll end up with nothing. ☹️ To me quality is more in reach, in touch, and in place for us. We just don’t recognize it. It’s right in front of us! No, not in our phones. Around us! Our environment. The foods we eat. The people we surround ourselves with. How we choose to spend our time with what we have. Sure, there are people, places, and things we can’t control but if I’m living a quality first lifestyle then I can get good at controlling my interactions, my reactions, and my surroundings. Try living one quality day at a time. Eat nutrient dense, satisfying, satiating, quality foods that aren’t leaving you wanting more or feeling like crap. Spend quality time with loved ones and friends. Put your phones down, listen to what they have to say, and just be able to be present when they need you. Human interaction is just that. Interaction! Most all business or work places depend on quality over quantity. How you treat the clients, how you make them feel, and the effort and passion you put into the quality of the product to keep them coming back. All and all, I believe quality is in the moment. If we do the best we can with what we got, then we won’t need more, more, more. 🙂 With gratitude, ~Gerard

I almost clipped my own wings because lack of belief or faith in my own abilities. Don’t sell your “soul” or “dreams” to someone that isn’t going to appreciate it as much as you do. ✨ Somebody recently said to me, “why would you clip your own wings?” when discussing future endeavors, etc. I was like damn, here is someone that sees my potential more than I do. This man didn’t want to clip my wings and/or take advantage of my vulnerability and drive. He gave me back the steering wheel and said, fly high. You don’t need me. Much love to people like this. It can change one’s own trajectory into genuine and authentic greatness. 💪💛
