Simple one might think…living the life that God has called you to live (your purpose), exuding humbleness, approaching people gently, practicing patience, establishing love, connecting your physical self to your spiritual self and most importantly; obtaining peace. While these beautiful things may appear to be easy to master, many individuals find them hard to secure, but I always say-things are only as hard as a person makes them. If situations or life’s challenges are approached in a positive manner, the end results are always positive, whereas if hurdles are met in a negative light, the end results will not be pleasing in one’s eyes.

I’d like for you to do just as the title says and DISCOVER YOU!! Take 30 minutes from your day (away from your phone and social media) and devote them to yourself…as you deserve that time. Take that time to relax and enjoy the beautiful life that you have been graced with. Ask yourself, “What can I do to enhance myself so that I can be an uplifting vessel for someone else?” Open this 30 minutes session with your tabula rasa. Take this time to meditate and begin to fill your slate with fresh ideas, themes, visions, goals, and positive plans that will place you on your life’s path of obtaining your ultimate peace. I am most certain that those 30 minutes will lead to 1 hour, that one hour will lead to a day which will lead to weeks, months and then years of you being grateful for the little things and honoring the greater gifts in your life. The simplicity of this time to yourself will allow you to appreciate, each thing that you hear, everything that you feel, and ALL that you can and will SEE…just as it did for me.

The first order of business is to release any unwanted or negative past thoughts or experiences. Things of this nature typically tend to invade our minds and halt us from reaching our pleasant place. Replace those unwanted thoughts and experiences with positive ones. They are unwarranted and have no defined place in your life. This also refers to negative people in your life…release them as well and regain control of your life through positive mental solitude. Try it! I am certain that you will discover yourself in the place where you desire to be. It worked for me and I found myself on an array of beaches throughout the country and abroad, where my feet peacefully touched the sand. My body was at ease; my mind and spirit…at peace…
