The Rebirth

My love is tremendous because it was harvested directly by God and tailored specifically for me and his purpose for me. With every traumatic thing that has happened to me, there is an ironic, yet great return. Strength is a funny thing because it can hurt too. The stronger you get, the harder battles come to test just how strong you are. This is where the gift of perseverance comes into play. At the end of the day, the gift of humility will always keep me in my place. Outside of that, discipline and determination keep the drive and focus.

This is a return on all the bad that's ever came across my table, serving me dishes of hate and discontent. I often sit and ponder about my success and what that truly means to me. I always thought that that would mean that I had a whole lot of friends, or maybe a lot of followers on social media. But, none of that seems to be the case. Real success is subjective. No one can tell you what to be proud of or what to celebrate. Anything you perceive as an accomplishment is just that. It may hurt sometimes because you may want people to be just as excited as you, but as sad as that may sound, I'm here to tell you that it doesn't matter! People who really support you will always be as excited as you are- and maybe even more.

I thought about all the people that are not in my life anymore. I wondered how they felt about me now. I realized that it didn't matter because who I was before doesn't even exist anymore. The person that they knew had so many things to learn. Sometimes I sit and wish they had given me patience, and not given up on me so easily, but the lack thereof gave me more than patience. It gave me independence. I realized with every person I was trying to be around, I was losing a bit of myself because I never gave myself the chance to find out.

Pure at Heart is not just a blog or a brand, it's a lifestyle and way of living. Throughout my journey, one thing that I have always been intentional about is maintaining a cultivating a pure heart and being good to humankind. The recipe for a good life is that simple. From the past to now, everything comes to this moment in time. I have a chance to create and manifest the life I want and watch it come to fruition right before my eyes. I dare not this opportunity pass me by because of worry, doubt, or fear. You shouldn't either. For every person that doesn't believe in you, there is another ounce of faith you can give yourself. Prove them wrong and watch how much growth and love you harvest for yourself.
