New Week- My Family

by kristielovelisLeave a Comment on New Week- My Family

Life is beautiful no matter which way you look at it; when things are tough and when things are great. And sure, you’re probably thinking “why the hell would life be beautiful if it’s tough?” I’ll tell you why it’s beautiful; the most rewarding and magical moments are the ones that fall after the struggle. I’ve been fortunate enough to experience life to the fullest. The hard times, the good times, the confusing times, and the times where I couldn’t be more grateful to be alive; today was one of those days, a blessing.

Life is hardly ever the walk in the park that’s dreamt, especially when dealing with family. Family is there to get in the way, to complicate things, make your life harder, but they’re also there to make you feel the love… Which is probably why they drive you nuts. Family loves, and they love hard. They drive you crazy because they test your limits… but that’s what love is; pushing you to be all you can be. I can honestly say that’s what I grew up with, being tested. As I’m growing up I’m grateful for a not so perfect family. Growing up has been challenging, but it’s made it fun. My family has changed, and I don’t mean in their actions, I literally mean changed. I’ve created my own family, because family to me means something different than it does to other people. Blood doesn’t make you MY family. My family are the people who show me they want me to be successful and accomplish my goals, and vice versa. I promise to myself and the people that I call my family, that I will ALWAYS stand by them and push them to success, through the good and the bad times.

I will do better for my family, for my nieces and nephews, my brother and sisters, my moms and dads, and for the person who’s always giving me the tough love I’ve always needed. Thank you to the new addition to our family, Benjamin Patrick Gomez, born March 2, 2015, for the little reminder that we all have a little extra motivation to keep us moving along this year. Happy birthday, Ben!

New Week- Young & In Love

by kristielovelisLeave a Comment on New Week- Young & In Love

Being an adult sucks. Falling in love sucks. You have to know when to give someone the space they’re asking for, even if it’s the last thing you want. Life’s all about decisions and nows the time to make the hardest one of your life- do you fight, or give up. Being young and in love isn’t fair. You don’t know what your future looks like. You don’t know if this is your first love, second, or if this is the one. But if deep in your heart, you feel like you can’t and don’t want to picture your life without this person, don’t give up. Life’s no walk in the park, especially when dealing with relationships, but it’s almost always worth the fight. Prove to that special someone that you’re going to keep fighting, and going to prove them wrong by showing them you’re the one. Let this be your motivation to show them the last few years wasn’t a waste of time. Couples grow, and the individuals grow also. People make mistakes and they learn from them. Don’t be selfish. Don’t make your mistakes and not give the other person their turn to make theirs. A strong, beautiful bond is one that picks each other up, forgives, and moves forward hand-in-hand.

New Week- Busy Days

by kristielovelisLeave a Comment on New Week- Busy Days

Keep yourself busy, it makes you stronger. I know when life gets tough being busy is the last thing you want. You want time to yourself; time to relax. But it’s the busiest times that make you realize how strong you are, how brave and powerful you are. No one will make your dreams come true, except for you. YOU have to be the one to work for it! YOU have to be the one to push yourself! YOU have to be the provider for your own life. The tired days become the most rewarding. The hard days become the greatest life lessons. Through the bad, there is something greater- push yourself to find that something greater; I promise you it’s there. Good things happen to good people, and the best things happen to those who deserve it, those who work for it.

New Week- Do’s and Don’t’s

by kristielovelisLeave a Comment on New Week- Do’s and Don’t’s

Do it because you love it.
Don’t let anyone tell you “no.”
Do things carelessly and fearlessly.
Don’t be afraid to be you.
Do what makes you happy.
Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not.
Do right to those around you.
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.

There are so many do’s and don’t’s in this world; but who’s to tell you what’s right and what’s wrong? Well, some of the things in life are simple, yet people like to complicate them because they’re bored and tired. Don’t let someone tell you how to live your life and what YOU should be doing. Let people speak. But choose wisely on what advice you’d like to take away from it all. Not everyone is built and functions the same way, so not everyone’s rules are the same. Be the creator of your own rules and don’t be afraid to stray away from what everyone else is doing and trying something new.

New Week- 2015

by kristielovelisLeave a Comment on New Week- 2015

Happy New Years everyone! As we’ve entered the new year, everyone’s mentality is “new year, new me;” however, let’s not forget about the old you either. People look for any excuse to change who they are, and that’s good, change and motivation is good- but change isn’t everything. That job you hated and quit because you thought it was a waste of time, lesson learned.. It helped you realize that’s not the field you want your career in. That boyfriend or girlfriend you broke up with because it was a waste of time, showed you what not to do in your next relationship. The body you so desperately want to leave behind in 2014, is the reason you’re pushing for a healthier lifestyle. Just because things seem bad, or seem like a waste of time, doesn’t mean they are. Most of the things we hate most in life are our most valuable lessons. Stay motivated, but remember who you are- the old, and the new.

New Week- Fight

by kristielovelisLeave a Comment on New Week- Fight

Fight for something you love. Fight if it’s important to you. Fight if it’s someone you love. Fight if you know that in the end the bumps and bruises will have been worth it. Fight to be a better person in life. Fight the battles and win them all. There is something or someone out there in this world that’s worth fighting for. Find it, and fight hard. If you want it, go get it- and don’t stop until it’s yours. The best thing in life are free, but they also don’t come by so easily. Build yourself up to be someone strong, to be someone pushing for more out of life. Life truly is about winning, because it’s a constant battle. There’s going to be someone prettier, more handsome, smarter, and all of the above and in betweens; but there will never be another you. And there is someone or something out there that’s waiting for you to fight for them/it.

New Week- Someone Else

by kristielovelisLeave a Comment on New Week- Someone Else

Do things for someone else.
Share your happiness with someone else.
Share your success with someone else.
Care for someone else.
Succeed for someone else.
Appreciate someone else.
Love someone else.

Strive for perfection in life, and for success, but do it with and for someone else. Having someone to share the big moments with, or having someone motivating you to accomplish something is more rewarding than just doing it for yourself. Granted, we should do and accomplish goals for ourselves, but on top of that we should be doing it for someone we love. Life is too short to celebrate alone. And by having “someone else,” I don’t mean a significant other; I mean, someone you love. Family. Friends. Anyone you could possibly love more than yourself, do it for that person.

New Week- Humble & Hungry

by kristielovelis1 Comment on New Week- Humble & Hungry

Be humble. Be hungry. Want more. Don’t settle.

It’s never too late to change something about your life. In today’s society it’s okay, it’s actually a huge accomplishment, when people choose to go back to college. Or even for younger people like myself, it’s never too late to change your mind on your major. Find something you love and run with it. There are all kinds of things in this world that motivate and help us find who we are and what we want to be in our careers. As long as you’re humble and hungry for success, you’ll come a long way. Have options for yourself and don’t be afraid to try something new. Success takes time, so don’t rush anything. Be wise, but have fun. Don’t compete with your friends or the people around you, the bigger and more successful person wins by being humble. Good things come to those who wait… And most importantly, those who deserve it.

New Week- Reflect

by kristielovelisLeave a Comment on New Week- Reflect

As we reach the final month of 2014, let us reflect; reflect on both the good and the bad. Think about all the good that has happened to you and your loved ones this year, and also think about the bad. Did it make you stronger? Did you learn from it? Learning from your mistakes has to be one of the best forms of education. Learning from something you’ve done makes it stick. The people who’ve done you wrong, you learn to not trust as easily and look out for yourself. The job you quit, you’ve learned what type of career you want for yourself. And through all the good, you carry on the positivity and the lifestyle that comes along with it. As we enter the last stretch, choose what you want to take into 2015 and what you want to leave back in 2014. Reflect and learn; a lot happens in a year.

New Week- Monday’s

by kristielovelisLeave a Comment on New Week- Monday’s

End of the day. Finally, case of the Monday’s, over. Just take all the stress, headaches, and frustration from today’s back-to-reality attitude, and turn it into something positive. Use it to strive for a better week to come. Be appreciative and thankful that you have work, even if it gives you headaches; that you have an education, even if it stresses you out; that you have loved ones who are always on your back, even if they frustrate you. Have a better attitude tomorrow. And if you’ve had a good day today, remember that positivity tomorrow. Don’t start a week happy and end it poorly, and if it started poorly, end it happy. The point is, don’t let the word “Monday” ruin everything; pretend it’s Friday, everyone loves a Friday. Don’t label the days of the week, because it’s little things like that that throw off your mood and put bad vibes in your head.

Be happy, be great, and be positive. I truly hope the rest of the week is a great as you make it.
