Thoughts on Real Purpose and Connecting!

Things that excite you aren't random. 

They are connected to your purpose. 

Follow them.

Little snippets of wisdom like this have been standing out to me lately! So much. To a point where it is almost frustrating. Like, do it, Allie! Do it! And I just can't get anywhere because I don't know where to go!

So I decided I have to start somewhere. I guess it's here. Getting out my thoughts. Hopefully connecting to all my friends and acquaintances I wish I could see all the time, but are far from me and busy with life! I feel like the thing I thrive off of is energy from connecting with other people.

Back story: When I picture my teenage self, the thing I mostly think of is anxiety from being in situations where I didn't know how to connect with people. So this hits me as hilarious and ironic, that finding the thing I truly love, used to be my greatest, life-overshadowing fear.

I spent so many years, from age 18 on, really spending a lot of time figuring out who I was. I remember writing a list of things I'd like to be, mostly attributes, and thinking, only a perfect woman could really have all those things.  I would be lucky to be anywhere close to her.

But now I do (and no surprise, real life, have a lot to still learn). I'm amazed by it when I realize I didn't use to be this person. I had to work hard and I'd like to continue working hard to be even better.  I've been able over the last set of years to figure out where I can help *outside* of myself though. And that's where I've really come to feel like I know my purpose, for now. I expect to be different in 10 years, and 10 after that.

But I need something. Some type of connection. Some platform where I can connect with you guys.

I'm not into looking nice, or having my house look nice enough to take wonderful pics of myself and family to influence you. I'm more about the why. The how. We all have a lot to do. But I just want to connect with others to help us all do life together and share great methods to do it WELL because of EACH OTHER.

Being involved with Fit4Mom for the last six years has taught me that if you spend one hour with someone, you really know enough about them to help, care about, and relate to them on some level. It's taught me to straight-forwardly ask, "What's up? You seem down, let me help." And I'd say I have a 98% success rate because PEOPLE WANT CONNECTION. And they want ideas. And they want to live their best life. It would be awesome if we could help each other and I want to try to go from these thoughts to a real place. So help me find it!

I'm going to try to post questions, thoughts, stories and get some conversations started!

Are blogs a thing, either? Find me on Insta @VieDesRoses
