Hi my friends!

The weekly dish has arrived, and it is a good one.

Let's get right to it.

One of the recent traits I am surprisingly learning to embrace is my ability to be patient for what is to come. As one who enjoys immensely the prospect of knowing what will happen in the near future, it is so hard to just trust in the work. That means the hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly grind of life. There are too many times to count where I have struggled and worked harder than anything to get where I wanted to go, and yet so many of those times I find myself feeling a bit shortchanged. How many times have we reached a point in our fight where it does not seem like we are getting what we deserve for our efforts? Probably a lot. One of my favorite things and terrible habits are when I will slam my fist down and say:

"What the hell, I deserve more than this! I'm not reaping all of the things I've sowed. This is pointless. Let me find someone who is succeeding and then hate on them and my own life while eating a whole pack of Oreos."

If this sounds familiar to any of you, then I feel a lot better that I am not alone in my self defeat, with a bit of pettiness in there. You heard me, and I'm calling myself out just as much as any of you! So let me finish.

In all honestly though, I wish I had known then what I am embracing now, and that is the fact that I will never know the exact 'what' for my hard work or the 'how' in the timing. It is as impossible for me to know exactly the positive karma coming my way as it is to know who is thinking about me and what they are thinking about me. Do I wish though, since I will toss and turn over what others think of me way too much. I am getting better and learning to quit, but still. I am irrevocably human.

With this short and sweet post I just wanted to say that whether you believe it or not, the law of karma exists in different forms, and the effort you put into rising and grinding to achieve your dreams and ambitions will pay you back. It may show up in a different form than you were anticipating, or in a different plan than you had chosen, but it will come. The main thing you will need to contribute is the patience to keep going, and of course the work. Too many people have missed out on opportunities or great things coming into their lives by giving up and thinking that they will never be compensated for their efforts. I really hate that I can't tell all of you when all the good vibes will start filling your lives. However, I know that continued personal effort on my part has been helping me to evolve in ways that bring me happiness and health. As a side note, those things haven't been huge outpourings of money or hoards of people giving me things I have always wanted. It's the small good vibes like daily yoga sessions, putting out posts that matter to me, connecting with others through my blog about finding happiness, and just growing with my little family and those I love. That is a positive to my hard work.

I hope that you guys can keep working, keep pushing, keep making those money moves, and please, DO NOT LET GO OF YOUR DREAMS. They are dreams for a reason and there is no right or wrong way to get there, so just take your time to breath and let your instincts guide you.

Sincerely,

Jessi Hope
