Do you realize how powerful you are? Do you realize that many great people who changed the world did so just because they believed they could? Marie Curie, born into a poor family, decided to study Chemistry, unheard of for women, winning the Nobel Prize for it years later. Rosa Parks, a descendant of slaves, took a risk to stand up for what she believed in and inspired a revolution. Mahatma Gandhi, born into an illiterate family, campaigned for Indian Independence because he simply believed that the world could be better. Do you realize you have within you, the power to change yourself? Others? The world?

Well I'm here tell you that you can. Yes, YOU! You are a wonderful and full of potential person with a unique point of view, a passionate drive and a voice, waiting to be heard. You have everything inside you to accomplish all that you have ever desired. Now all you have to do... is BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF YOU and you are well on your way to changing the world.

With that said, I would like to invite you to take this journey with me. A journey where we will focus on 3 things:

1) Unleashing your full potential - Overcome the voice inside you that says, "I'll do it later", "It's too hard", "you're not good enough."  Replace these with positive affirmations and optimism and soon the good with begin to follow.

2) Motivate others - Bringing kindness and positivity to others lives and we will see the difference not only in them, but ourselves and the community surrounding us.

3) Change the world - With the belief and the passion, anything can be changed or overcome. It is up to US to make the difference.

Every week, each of these topics will be developed further (through articles, newsletter and even challenges) where we will continue through this journey together.

Now, just one more question: Are you ready to unleash the full power of you? Join us in the movement.

There are so many depressed people out there in the world. People ashamed of there feelings, thoughts, actions. I'm not saying that I am above that in anyway. Because I too experience these things. But just look at the results you get when you scroll through the Tumblr tags under the word therapy or depression. Then think about how your doing and  what you are feeling and reflect. I just scrolled down them myself and my reflection is not a two faced sword the way it used to be. I used to be sad for them and then turned around and be sad for me.  For I have thought numerous times that I was part of the walking dead. Just a month ago I was just telling my therapist about the sensation.

But then I started doing real things that real people do with the intention of living long. I started running. I started thinking about eating healthier. I started thinking about being physically healthy. And even though I have probably have not lost a pound, due to my work schedule being more strict. I have mentally come far. I wouldn't call my self the walking dead. I would call myself a living girl trying to hold her head high. Trying to let the world know that she IS a live. And trying to move forward into the life I know I can have because I am willing to fight for it.

Just think of one thing. Just one thing that you can't living without getting. That you can't live without being. That you can't stand around and watch other people get that thing before you do. Realize that you can't get it without being the best that you can be to yourself. And then when you find it. Run for it. Literally. Just run for it.

This my not make much sense. But I works. All you have to do is just keep running!

Seriously, the thing you need to know about this kid is that he is super buff, like way into weight lifting in high school, always Toned with a capital T, and I literally made him to a double take. 

It was a rather uplifting feeling. Cause I was walking towards the free weights and he was over there lifting things and in my head I was like, okay, just stay cool, he probably doesn't even remember you, but then I looked at him and he did a complete double take and his eyes widened and he was like "Hey Alyssa!" 

And I was all chill, picking up my 15 lbs weights, like "hey you," enjoy the view while I walk back to my space!

BAM.
