Fear is a primitive song of survival and can be found within any being. It weaves its song into our heart center, whispering words of caution, whispering words to keep us safe, to keep us alive. Fear is an archaic tool we all use with ourselves and the world around us. To live […]
We tell ourselves stories in order to live.
We tell ourselves stories in order to live and finding meaning within our lives. We tell our selves stories in order to attempt to understand the feelings we have and the experiences we’ve lived, and we use stories to craft a framework of how we believe we “should” live. We tell ourselves stories […]
Sometimes the stories we tell ourselves obscure our truths…
From the day we are born, we are taking in information and weaving it into our beings as we sort and make meaning of the world around us. This information becomes the stories that steer us. These stories are the sun to our leaves; we shift in the direction of what we believe […]
We are the stories we tell ourselves
The stories of our lives are cultivated into existence by the thoughts and beliefs we have. The lyrics we sing to ourselves create our self-perception every moment of the day. What stories and songs do you tell yourself that you’ve noticed have come to define you? @krystamaravilla

Thought is not reality; yet it is through Thought that our realities are created
It may seem odd to think the lyrics we sing to ourselves, our thoughts and beliefs, have such a dynamic role in our realities, yet they define everything about the world we live in. They define how we greet ourselves in the morning. They define how we identify ourselves individually, in relationships, and […]
All action results from thought, so it is thoughts that matter
Thoughts, our inner lyrics, are powerful. They act as the underlying force whispering our potential, our capabilities, our strengths or weaknesses, our dreams and fears. The thoughts we have create our outer worlds and experiences. Through those thoughts, we look through lenses that reflect back what we think. These lenses validate our beliefs, […]
Love Takes Courage
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” Lao Tzu There are two statements here, and I will start with the latter one, first. Love takes courage! Within each person, there is a shy kernel of that person’s personality. Call it soul or mind or Freudian […]
