While an abundance of positivity and hope are two wonderful things to possess as we all navigate our lives, there does come a point where too much positivity and hope can actually blind you from reality and hinder you from living your best life. Sometimes people become so hopeful of their future that this causes them to not really take action towards their goals because they believe they can manifest anything in existence without any effort. As I hope many of you realize–this is so FAR from reality and a life in total la la land! The Universe is powerful and has much to offer to everyone but I like to remind people that it is not a genie bottle where you put a wish out there and it just comes into fruition. There is still conscious intent and inner work that needs to take place in order to make things happen.

As hard as it is to face reality at times, no matter what–you should always opt to live in REALITY. When you live with false hope, you usually end up more disappointed, you can stunt your self growth, and it could impact your ego negatively in the long run. When you live in reality, at least you are building more resilience and essentially are embracing the TRUTH. As harsh as reality can be, it is better to live in real life versus a sugar coated version of life. I encourage everyone to be super real with self when it comes to your expectations, goals, and aspirations. From there, you can work towards everything that you want and then you will receive everything you desire (and probably even more). The Universe will reward you with your efforts and you will feel good in knowing that you created your abundant reality all by yourself!
