Note To Self: Remain You

Marinelle CabilloLeave a comment

For when you feel wronged:

As hard as it can be – don’t ever let someone have the power to take you out of your character. You know you’re better than that. Matching someone’s energy in spite will only hinder your own light. Don’t stoop down to levels where you know you don’t belong. There’s no need for revenge, to get even, or to prove a point, because you know eventually people will have to reap what they sow… So wish them well.

You wish well on others because you know eventually everyone will get back what they put in. The universe has a funny way of teaching lessons. So let karma deal with it. There’s no point in wasting your energy on people and situations that drain you. You have nothing to prove. Don’t you ever underestimate your power to wish well on those who never deserved your grace.

I refuse to let you reciprocate the same hate, bitterness, or jealousy that some have projected onto you. There is no room in your heart for that. It’s okay to feel angry, upset, and wronged, but don’t let the actions of others turn you into the villain in your own story. You’re stronger than that. Feel it, then let it go.

Note to self – your heart has no room to wish anyone ill will.

Post 10 of 10 of LoveYourzStory’s Jhené Aiko Series. Inspired by “Promises.”

I’m deep in my Jhené Era. She’s def the top artist I’ve been listening to on repeat for at least the last 6 months. This series will be a showcase of how her music has inspired me throughout this journey – the journey back to self✨️

Blue skies. Plants. Birds. Butterflies.

The peaceful sound of waterfalls in the distance.

You’re surrounded by light and life.

Your wrinkle lines are visible as you start to smile.

I’m looking up at you, in awe that I have the privilege to meet with you in this dimension.

There are no words being shared, I start to wonder if you’re even aware that I’m here…

But I don’t care, I’m seeing you in your new element.

Time moves slowly here, there’s absolutely no rush.

Birds land on your shoulders, butterflies surround you, you’re intrigued by the plants.

I can watch you enjoy this present moment forever – And it seems like forever.

But then the sound rings…

How long has it been? … I know it’s time.

My stomach drops, my throat tightens up, my eyes swell with tears.

I hate goodbyes.

“Tatay, I have to go,” I tell you crying. “I won’t get to see you anymore.”

You brush it off and continue doing what you’re doing, all with a smile on your face.

I explain the severity of what’s happening – this is potentially goodbye forever.

We both have to go back, who knows if there will be another time – how can you be so calm?

“But look where I am, I’m so happy. It’s not goodbye, I’m everywhere.”

And I believe that whole heartedly, with every fiber of my being.

I take off the blind fold, I’m weeping.

How lucky was I to have seen a glimpse of your world.

I am reminded through constant signs, alignments, and blessings – you’re everywhere.

I understand now and truly believe it – there is no end.

Forced Transformation

Cherry Blossoms starting to bloom in San Francisco.

They say the universe will intervene if you remain stagnant.

But the cosmos are patient and understanding too – they always give us the free will to redeem ourselves.

Evolve or repeat – learn the lesson and grow, or repeat the same cycle in different forms until you get it right.

Avoid what needs to be done, and watch the universe pull the rug from right under you. Time’s up.

You have no business being in places, situations, and connections that don’t serve your highest good.

My Tower moments always came at the right time.

This was a forced transformation.

Thank you, universe, for giving me no choice but to get the ball rolling.

Nobody talks about how overwhelming and exhausting it is to be cracked open.

But once the light gets in, there really is no going back.

What a rewarding, yet chaotic, journey it has been so far.

I’m learning to not question what the universe has in store for me.

There are no accidents. Now, this is all by choice. I have to keep going.

Words Are Spells

The power of words are underrated.

Our words are spells we put out into the universe.

We speak things into existence without even realizing it.

Our words can protect our desires, or harm them.

Often, we unknowingly speak fear and doubt into our plans, and the universe follows our lead.

Claim your blessings confidently as if they have already happened.

Speak it into existence and watch it work in your favor.

Never forget how powerful your words are.

Right Place, Right Time

I don’t know who needs to hear this,

but you’re right where you’re supposed to be.

Zoom out and see the bigger picture and then you’ll finally see.

I’m a firm believer that nothing is accidental,

and everything that happens is anything but coincidental.

You’re at this time and place in your life for a reason.

Give yourself grace as you pass through this season.

It’s okay to have a vision of what you want to come,

but just because you’re not there yet doesn’t mean you’re dumb.

Don’t be so easily convinced that you have to follow a set guide.

This life is yours, and only you can decide.

If something doesn’t go as planned, it wasn’t meant to be –

you probably don’t see it in the moment, but the universe will agree.

They call it a journey for a reason, so it’ll take some time.

Baby steps, up the ladder you’ll go, and slowly you will climb.

One day you’ll have everything you worked hard for and more,

but please don’t forget the now because you’re thinking of what else is in store.

You’re right where you’re supposed to be, trust me and take my word.

It may seem overwhelming at times, but trust the process is what I’ve heard.

You’re at the right place at the right time.

Don’t you worry, just trust that everything will be fine.

Shelter in Place Diaries – Serge : Positive High System

Marinelle CabilloLeave a comment

California is just a little over 4 weeks into Shelter in Place. Originally, the plan was to shutdown for 3 weeks and hopefully arrive back to work with our usual routines at the end of March / early April. As the days went on, America soon realized that things were definitely not going to be back to normal in 3 weeks time. Even after things open up again, we as a society will slowly ease back into life before COVID-19, but with plenty of restrictions. Its safe to say that COVID-19 will have permanent effects to how we maneuver on a daily basis.

The 3 week mandatory shutdown was tough on business owners, but especially small business owners. It was hard enough to close for 3 weeks, but the extended Shelter in Place Order is forcing a lot of business owners to change up how they do business. This is especially true for Serge and his fitness business.

Serge is the creator and owner of “Positive High System.” He’s a Fitness Coach, eager to help those who want to improve their way of life through food and movement. He believes his Positive High program could benefit anyone who wants more knowledge and guidance in the fitness world. Before COVID-19, Serge was doing in-person training / group training. That, of course, is not possible anymore with the social distancing and Shelter in Place Orders. His clientele dropped by over 50% since COVID-19. As a small business owner, Serge knew that he would have to switch it up if he wants Positive High System to ride this pandemic wave and make it out in the end.

It is understandable that many business owners are frazzled and anxious about their business and their means of making a living. The unknown is what gets the best of people. Surprisingly, Serge, with his upbeat yet chill attitude, has decided to look at the bright side of this pandemic. It was already in his plans to open up the virtual / online component of training for Positive High. Online sessions were going to be Serge’s next business move later on in the year. Even though the timing is different, Serge took this as a message from the universe to act on the idea now. He has no choice but to. Serge has converted all of his in-person training sessions to live personal training classes on Zoom.

“Life is good,” he said on his vlog as he ended a workday early.

Serge is looking on the bright side of this Shelter in Place Order. He loves the fact that he gets to spend more time with his girlfriend and son. He shares that before COVID-19, he would get home around 8 or 9 PM. But now, he ends his day around 7-7:30 PM, and gets to take breaks during the day to do activities with his son, Elijah. Serge is a very active father, and the Shelter in Place is bringing him and his family closer. He’s finding time to reconnect with family through gaming apps, still running his business, spending more time with family, and doing more hobbies and activities with no time crunch.

As if he wasn’t already making the most of his time, Serge puts his phone on “airplane mode” by 7:30 PM to be more present with his family. Instead of looking at what could go wrong, Serge is deciding to take the less traveled route – taking it day by day, adjusting if need be, and not worrying about the unknown.

Serge launched his new Positive High System app that helps it’s users log their food and beverage intake, exercise, goals, accomplishments, etc. What is unique about this app is Serge is just a message away if you need encouragement or help. There is also a video section of workouts you could do at home. Serge stresses that the point of logging food is not be obsessive, to calorie count, or make drastic changes – but to be aware of what you’re doing – eating wise and exercise wise. By being aware, you’re in a better position to see what it is that you can tweak to benefit your health if that is your goal. Saying Serge has gracefully transitioned during this pandemic is an understatement!
