We set out on so many adventures, but the one of being our truth is lifelong.
The Discovery
Open yourself up to learning. About yourself. About others. About life. Your curiosity can help keep you moving.
Your Past Is No Copilot
It happened. You still remember it. You still feel it. You still wonder what could have been different about it. You’re also not obligated to give it attention. You’re not required to carry it into new experiences. You do not need to include it in your plans.
Feel It
Rather than searching for an explanation for the experience, why not sit down, breathe, and just feel it?
Becoming
Gift yourself time, space, and attention to recognize and celebrate yourself for what you have done and for what you have. For who you were and for who you are and for who you are becoming.
Lean Into Your Life
The pursuit of your dreams can yield so much even if you don’t quite get there. You can learn lessons along the away. You can meet new people. You can discover more about yourself.
Check Yourself
Be honest with yourself. Be honest with others.
Your Light
Trust your own light.
Showing Up For You
You are worthy to be there for yourself every step of the way.
It's Time
What we try to hide or run from, remains.
Honor Each Other
The pace we may observe need not be the focus. But rather, patience with each other. What can we do to nurture and accept the journey of each other? How can we be compassionate and loving? Move away from your judging beliefs and lean into the beauty of connection.
Holding Space
We can’t hold space for each other when we are talking at the same time, forcing our beliefs, judging, hating, lying, hurting, or outright ignoring each other. Holding space is listening, accepting, empathizing, learning, and openness. Holding space is love.
This Moment
Where is your attention? Are you re-living? Are you forecasting? Are you repeating? Are you hypothesizing?
Will you be in this moment? Fully? Allow and welcome what is. And love. Love to learn.
This Moment
Being present is not a trend. It’s a way of living. It’s not the norm because we are taught and encouraged to chase the next. To seek the prize. As if there is any greater prize than having a life to live. Consider nurturing a mindset of being present. Giving all you’ve got to each moment. Rather than thinking about what has happened or what may happen, be completely with what is happening. To have a moment to live...that.
Self-Love
Giving of yourself to prove yourself. Compromising yourself to keep the peace. Settling because of fear, guilt, shame. Hiding your truth to not be rejected. Telling others you’re fine when you’re not. Creating a narrative about life being about surviving not thriving, scarcity not abundance, sacrifice not self-love.
Sit
Are you gifting yourself time, space, and attention?
Be
Courageously and lovingly tap into your authenticity and allow yourself to be exactly who you are.
Flow
Your authentic self may be cloaked in vulnerability, now. But upon its reveal, light will shine. You are the light.
You
Go within. Sit with yourself. Ask yourself questions. Feel your feelings. Write out your thoughts. Don’t compare yourself to others. Make peace with yourself. Forgive yourself. Allow healing. Accept your truth. Express your essence. Give yourself love.
Begin Within
Life’s most honest journey of love begins within. Your inner foundation is what you stand on as you express your authentic self.
