Today I turn 29.

When I was 19, I used to celebrate my birthday getting drunk on Tequila, almost passing out on the college campus, and waking up with a major hangover before midterms.

Looking back, I realize I was going through some challenging times. Getting stuck in the darkness, not knowing how to channel it.

And as a nation, we are going through tremendously difficult times that it is hard to find the light at the end of the tunnel.

So today, I want to celebrate by sharing kindness and spreading love.

Because the more of us feel inspired, the more we can elevate the world.

Here are 29 soulful messages I would put on a coffee cup to channel darkness into light:

1. Your positivity is contagious. Spread it like wildfire.

2. The world is waiting for your soul to light up.

3. A free gift from heaven will appear in your day.
