Hearing v.s. Understanding

Posted on by Joanna

I heard the call
I answered the call
I fulfilled the call

But,

I don’t understand the call
I don’t feel the call
I don’t see the call

But,

I know I heard the call
I know I’m supposed to be here
I know this is right

But,

I don’t know why
I don’t know what I’m doing
I don’t know; what if I’m wrong?

You see, hearing & understanding the call are two different things.
You can hear it so clearly, & still not understand what it means.

That’s my life right now.
I heard the call & I answered it, but I don’t know what I’m doing.
So, I’m learning that this is where faith plays a big role in answering the call.
It all comes back to trust; trusting that saying yes to the call will always lead to something great.

Thanks for reading!
I hope this inspired to always keep the faith because
something good will eventually come from it.

Bring your A Game!

Posted on by Joanna

100% of your energy
100% of your focus
100% of your positivity

Always give 100%
No matter what you feel inside
Just give it 100%

You never know where it could lead..
It could be your turning point,
To accomplishing your dreams!

Show people what you can do.
Show them your best version;
Show them what they’re up against with you.

You don’t have to let them win.
You CAN try your hardest;
Cuz they’ll be surprised, and you will win!

Catch people off guard.
Surprise them with your amazingness.
It won’t be simple; in fact it’ll be very hard.

But, it will be worth it.
It’ll teach you a lot about yourself.
It’ll show you & others that you CAN do it.

You just gotta believe in yourself –
Enough to always bring your A Game.
And, give 100% in everything you do.

Thanks for reading!

I hope this post inspired you to chase your dreams no matter what or who gets in your way. And, remember to always chase your dreams with all you’ve got, as if achieving them is fatal.

Put in the work!

You can’t just put in work when you feel like it.
Success won’t come overnight.
Your dreams won’t accomplish themselves.

Whatever it is that you want to accomplish; YOU have to put in the work EVERYDAY!
Results come with consistency and patience!

. . .

I’ve been living in Chile for 2 months and I can truly say that putting in the work is 100% worth it.
There are days (especially during my first month of living here) when I don’t feel like trying to speak Spanish, and as a result, during the day I feel lost and alone. I’m not trying to understand what people are saying and I don’t feel like trying to speak (my broken) Spanish, and as a result, I isolate myself.
But, during the days when I put in the work to listen and speak Spanish, I start to feel like I actually kind of fit in because I’m consciously listening and understanding to what people are saying and I actively try to speak Spanish the best I can and I start to feel understood and less alone.

. . .

Anyways, this post is just your Sunday reminder that whatever you want to accomplish this week, you can’t just sit there and say: “I’ll get there 1 day, I have all week anyways.”.
You have to get up now and actively work for what you want!

Putting in the work will always lead to great things!

I hope this post encouraged you to have a productive and positive week!

Always use a compass! (or a map)

Posted on by Joanna

It doesn’t matter if you’re traveling in a new country or exploring & discovering yourself; you should always use some sort of compass (or map)!

. . .

Your moral compass is one of the best compasses you can have because it will always lead you in the right direction on a trip, or in the voyage of life!

In the nature VS nurture debate, one of the main arguments is about morals and where they come from, and why people do the things they do.Well, I believe it’s really just both.
Depending on how much peer pressure you can handle: How reliable is your moral compass? Do you have integrity? Are your morals strong enough that you will follow them no matter what, or will you give into peer pressure.

. . .

  • Nature means that you are easily affected by peer pressure because you grew up with a weaker moral compass that you didn’t use much.
  • Nurture means that your morals are strong and nothing will pressure you into doing something that you feel is wrong because you grew up using your moral compass a lot and you know how to use it.

So, even if you believe that one is stronger than the other, you should always make sure you know how to use your moral compass & that it is strong enough to lead you through the peer pressure trips of life.

~A compass always leads you through one amazing adventure to the next great trip!~


Thanks for reading! I hope this post inspires you to keep traveling through your own life and to always:
