Today is my birthday, and for the first time in a long time, I feel good about it. No stress, no pressure about what I shouldbe doing to celebrate—just peace, gratitude, and an appreciation for where I am right now.
In the past, I felt this constant need to mark my birthday with something significant, almost like I had to prove to myself that I was progressing. But this year feels different. I’m calm. The small steps I’m taking each day are leading me exactly where I need to go, and that realization in itself is a gift.
The Shift: From Lack to Abundance
This morning, I was listening to Dr. Joe Dispenza, and something he said struck me:
"Focusing on when your dreams will come true is standing in a place of lack."
That hit home. Because I know I’ve been guilty of that mindset—constantly looking ahead, wondering when my goals will materialize instead of appreciating the fact that I’m already on the path.
Money
My body
Success
New experiences
These aren’t things I’m waiting for—they’re things I’m actively creating. The process I’m in right now is exactly what will bring me to the milestones I’ve envisioned.
Choosing Presence & Momentum
So today, my focus is on this moment. Instead of waiting for things to happen, I’m choosing to be present, to do my best right now, and to trust that every intentional step I take is adding momentum to the future I desire.
Because life isn’t about waiting for the next big moment—it’s about appreciating the small, consistent steps that get us there.
And honestly? Life is good.
Hearing from my grandma this morning reminded me how much love and support I have around me. Seeing the way she embraces Jorge makes me so grateful for the people in my life. I truly have everything I need in this moment.
And I trust that the universe will continue to provide—because I deserve it. Because I am an extension of God’s power, and that power will always carry me forward.
Final Thoughts
Birthdays are often seen as milestones, checkpoints where we evaluate our progress. But this year, I’m choosing to see it differently. I’m not waiting. I’m living.
And today, I celebrate that.
