> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #51: carry on
This past year redefined the way I live my life. The lessons tested my core values in the spaces of my career, my time, my purpose. It crafted a deeper sense of self-reflection that turned pain into purpose. It cracked open my depths of understanding that everything is internal — the way we talk to ourselves, the way we interpret situations, the way we react based from our reality. This trio determines the way we navigate the next steps, stepping into our best self or learning another lesson.
And maybe that’s how it feels to deepen our understanding and care of humanity… the heartbreaks and the happiness, the storms and the sunshine, the grieving and the gratitude. This year generated a strength inside of me that is graceful and gentle, compassionate and courageous, determined and dedicated.
This life is meant for us to carry on — as a light in the darkness, as a messenger in the noisiness, as a peacekeeper in the chaos.
