Trust

Trust

Trust is a funny thing. We are born trusting in ourselves and along the way by trial and error we also learn who we can trust. As we get older that seems to flip. We end up trusting others more than we do ourselves. Why? Where did we let go of our own power and gut instinct?

Look back on your life and the really big decision moments. Were they your decision or someone else's? They can be in consultation with others but ultimately, did you lean on yourself to make the decision? When you did, did life answers in a bigger way than you could have imagined and that's because you ultimately trusted YOU?

It's time to stop putting decisions on other people. It's time to also stop making decisions FOR other people as well. When you are about to ask someone, "what would you do", instead look in the mirror and ask that question to yourself. When someone asks you the same question, "what would you do", ask them back the same question. Help them hear their own voice in the situation. 

 We have an incredible life force and guide within. Start to trust in yourself, in your decisions, in your life and you will start to watch it unfold in miraculous ways.

Weeds

 

 

Weeds

In every garden, weeds will grow. You can plant all types of beautiful flowers and yet weeds will still find there way in all spaces and sometimes even take over. If left alone, they can overshadow the flowers, taking precious nutrients and eventually they will overtake the entire space. They longer they are allowed to grow, the stronger the roots become making it that much harder to pull out. At that point, it can take so much time, energy, and strength to clear that space again.

Our lives are just like a garden. We plant beautiful flowers every day with ideas and goals. Yet weeds will find a way to grow in our lives when we allow negativity, fear, and unhealthy decisions to be present. The longer we allow these thoughts, feelings, and actions to swirl around, the stronger those roots become and eventually they overtake our thoughts. It then feels like an insurmountable task to pull out the weeds to clear our path to once again allow or ideas and goals to flourish. 

Our job is to continue to pull out the weeds every single day and to not allow them to overtake our lives. If they do, it's also our jobs to ask for help. Some people are great at weeding. Call upon them to help clear your space so that you can once again see the beauty that is before you. What will take up the space that the weeds were inhabiting? Well that's an easy answer - flowers you didn't even know where possible to grow. 

So go on, be the gardener of your own life and create the most beautiful version of yourself.

 

Moments

 

Moments

All we have are moments - 

• Moments of pure joy
• Moments of unbearable heartache
• Moments of sheer fun
• Moments of indescribable pain
• Moments of unconditional love
• Moments of uncontrollable laughter 
• Moments too precious for words...
  

Be present in each moment. Put your phone down. Listen to each other. Really look at someone and see them. Time is precious. It is going at a pace faster than you realize and by not being fully engaged, with your attention half diverted elsewhere, you are missing out on the full experience of life. It's the greatest gift you can give to yourself and to someone else. Practice being present every single day until it's no longer something you have to think about and it becomes a part of who you are.
