To My Grandkids,

Today I inhale greatness, and exhale all things that slow me down or get in my way. 

     Since moving to the island, I've met a ton of lovely people on different journeys. It's such a beautiful thing to talk to people with different mindsets and perspectives, so much opportunity to learn there. Last week, our friend Luis took us to a pier on the beach and showed us around. Luis is one of those people that are so deeply genuine, you can't help but love being around him. While we were swimming around and enjoying the sun, he started to share his story with us. For respect of his personal background, I won't go into detail, but he really poured his heart out. While he was talking, I couldn't help but think that his stories did not match up with the kind of person he is.. His background has a lot of mixed events, highs and lows, and from what I've seen in my short life- it's not often that people turn events like that into such a beautiful, happy, fulfilling life. 
    To top off his sharing, he said (something along the lines of) "I don't have a lot, but I am so happy and thankful for what I have, which makes it feel like plenty." 
     Wow. Do me a favor and read that again. Now do YOURSELF a favor and read that one more time.. Or 600 more times. 
Change your mindset= Change your life.
     You can take a person from any situation; homeless, millionaire, unhealthy, health freak, negative upbringing, happy childhood etc etc etc, and they have the potential to live the most beautiful, happy, wonderful life.
It all comes down to your mindset. It doesn't matter who you are, what you look like, your health status or job, dollar amount, or whatever. YOU have the power to make your life into ANYTHING you can possibly think of. The only reason that wouldn't be possible, and I mean the ONLY reason- is if you don't believe in yourself.
     It won't be easy all the time, but it is insanely, wonderfully, divinely POSSIBLE.

     I don't claim to be some super-wise-youngin who has it all figured out... No No No.
But I have control over my mindset, and I know that I have infinite potential to do anything I could ever dream- and  I believe my purpose on this Earth is to help you understand that too. 
This life we live- it's amazing!
Life is so good.

Live huge, love often, explore, be curious, and say YES to being your best self.

​Love, 
Your barefoot tits-out-on-the-beach nana J :)
