What a beautiful sentiment….

All we have learned or experienced in our lives gives us skills and strength to be our best selves going forwards. We need to see it as fuel for our growth.

Our potential for happiness lies within us. No one else can make us happy, nor should they. If you want others to be happy with you, you need to be happy with yourself first. A beautiful reminder....

“After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
And company doesn’t mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads on today
Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while, you learn…
That even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So you plant your garden and decorate your own soul,*
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure…
That you really are strong
And you really do have worth…
And you learn and learn…
With every good-bye you learn.”
Veronica Shoffstall
With every good-bye, you learn.”
Luis Borges and Veronica Shoffstall - After a While.

What a lovely thought...✨

I truly believe that every single one of us has tremendous potential to shine and more often than not, it is ourselves that dull the light.

We self-sabotage, doubt our worth, focus on our weaknesses, believe our inner critics, have limiting self-beliefs, stay stuck with one perspective, live our lives by an out-dated self-story....

You can thrive, you were born to flourish.... stop limiting yourself.

It all starts with awareness and an openness to learning.

Loving yourself with wild courage and gentleness. You are enough. You belong.

One of the best modern sources on how to love and accept ourselves authentically is Brené Brown.

That voice in our head is our story of ourselves and it’s not real....

Our self-story or self-narrative is what we believe about ourselves and our lives.
The problem being - we are constantly changing and growing. We sometimes write a version and live our lives according to its “truth” years after it’s out of date.

We need to check if our self story needs a fresh edit or even a rewrite. We can only do this by doing some self-reflection. A great place to start is examining our core values. Exactly what is most important to you in your life now?
Family, friends, security, adventure, learning, career, freedom, self-development, helping others, money, happiness, peace....

This is important self-reflective work that can really help you to live your best life and become all that you can be.
