There’s something so special about bringing your ideas to life, truly think about how blessed you are to see something so vividly in your mind and then have the courage to go out in the world and create it
Being strict with yourself and others often translates to rigidity. While there is some truth to that, there is a specific type of freedom that comes along with knowing what you want, what you’ll tolerate and what you’ll never accept.
Once you realize that you’re quite literally living in your blessing, the gratitude just pours out of you. It’s in your overall demeanour: how you speak, how you walk, how you interact with others. It’s present everywhere. It’s important to stay thankful, happy and purposeful.
Who would’ve thought that the most random, unexpected movie-like situations that happened to you, could throw you off in the best way and force you to not only entertain a new reality for yourself but also to embrace it?
When you’ve lost yourself more
than once, all it takes is that last time to shake things up and for you to never allow yourself to go through it again. That commitment might be the most important factor in rebuilding yourself.
I also wanna say one thing for my folk who are currently figuring out and pivoting life rn, specifically in their 30s. You’re making the right choice, but also be kind on yourself when thinking back on time you feel wasted, your time is yours, and yours alone.
When you can uphold the expectations you set for yourself, then it doesn’t seem so unreasonable to expect the same of others. But there is the question: are the expectations you’ve set for yourself ones you can eventually reach or do you keep moving the goalposts?
The best moments are gifted to you, giving you insight into things you’ve been seeking confirmation for; they always come packaged in ways you couldn’t even imagine, yet they serendipitously fit with your current state of mind and are the missing piece to the puzzle you need.
If you look at experiences as stops along the way that you’re meant to have instead of roadblocks, it not only softens the blow of your own expectations but it also forces you to be in the moment. It’s dangerous to look at life as a checklist of things to do. Slow down.
