Iâm grateful for the ones who; ~ patiently teach without judgement, ~ are kind when they suggest how things can be done differently, ~ listen to understand, not to blame, criticize, judge or ridicule, ~ have no desire to prove theyâre right, ~ freely share their time, talents and wisdom in an effort to help us grow and become better versions of ourselves.
Along this mysterious, messy, yet oh so marvellous, road called life, be grateful for the ones who show up and patiently guide us to where weâre meant to be.
We have to experience what love is ânotâ so we recognize authentic love when it arrives.
Those bad dates, heartaches, butterflies that turned into teary goodbyes, are stepping stones guiding you to whom and where youâre meant to be. Let them guide you, who knows, they may lead to your happily-ever-after.
Be grateful for everyone that wanders in and out of your life.
OK, you might be a little bit messy today. You might even feel bloated, gassy, cranky and a little less than your awesome self. But listen, even on the messiest, most uncomfortable, baddest of bad hair days, youâre still a beautiful, frickenâ miracle, capable of achieving BIG ( and I mean HUGE) awesomeness!
Wear that mess of fuzz like a crown and go make some magic!
We donât arrive to this life adventure knowing it all. If we did, what would be the point?
I remember this chaotic, impatient, awkward, young girl, tripping over life. You might remember a similar girl or boy from the early days of your own life story.
When I reflect back on this girl, I do so with such compassion and love, because I realize now; ~ How hard she worked to find her voice and to be heard. ~ How she struggled to find the values to guide her. ~ How desperately she wanted to find her purpose. ~ How determined she was in her quest to find her place in the world and find her tribe, And ~ How passionately she craved, and still craves, authentic human connections. Back âthenâ she couldnât even describe what this craving was.
I hope you see and admire the younger version of yourself the same way. Be gentle with, and forgive yourself for the mistakes you think youâve made, because none of it was a mistake. That younger you, was just trying to figure life out, searching, learning and growing like we all are.
Wherever you are along this life journey, is exactly where youâre meant to be. Be grateful that your younger self got you this far, now, keep on goingđ.
To surrender does not mean marching into battle and surrendering to your enemy. It means, mindfully making a decision, trusting youâve made the right decision, then, having the courage to accept the outcome and the consequences.
When we fully surrendered to life weâre able to;
~ take on new challenges and follow our dreams, without the interference of ego, trusting and accepting weâre where weâre meant to be, even if that place is painful.
~ to let go of the need to be in charge, control an outcome, prove weâre right, or attempt to be better than anyone else. Rather, we seek to be better than we were the day before.
~ to recognize weâve done all we can, weâve put forth our best effort, given it our all, and then, we allow life to unfold as itâs meant to unfold.
The ability to surrender takes enormous courage, patience, and wisdom. When we surrender, weâre trusting, accepting and loving our self, exactly as we are.
Surrender is perhaps the most mindful, expression of courage and self love a human being can display.
Drop your sword. Let go of the people, things and attitudes that are dark clouds blocking your beautiful light.
Life is more peaceful when we surrender and stop seeing everything as a battle.
