You will make decisions in life that you may look back on and wonder, “How could I have let that happen?” In those moments, remember you were doing the best you could at the time and forgive yourself.
Life is about cycles. You’ll never be done with celebrating or grieving. Embrace them both as part of the journey of being human.
It can be hard to ask for help, but you must. You’re not meant to do this alone.
Pretty much everything in life takes longer than you think it will. Be okay with things taking some time, because they’re going to anyway.
Heartbreak is a part of life, so when you have a choice, why not choose what your heart will break for.
It’s never too late.
When you hold back—who you are, what you do, what you think, what you feel—it poisons your heart. The antidote is loving yourself and never holding back the expression of yourself for anyone.
It’s never too late.
Nature is deep medicine. It’s vital to get out into it. To be in it. To become aware that you are part of it.
Friends will come and go. It’s okay that this hurts. Be grateful for the ones you miss. Be grateful for the ones still here.
Don’t ever hold back the expression of your sincerity or what lights you up.
How you think is deeply important to your overall health. Negativity is stickier than positivity. Be intentional about cultivating your mind; what you put in it and what you allow to be said in it.
Austin Kleon once wrote, “If it’s not online, it doesn’t exist.” After decades of writing offline, having my thoughts and insights “not exist”, I was inspired by Seth Godin to decide once to commit to a daily blog, and here we are.
I write about my reflections, insights, and life learnings, including those around self-awareness, growth, creativity, and how to live a life true to ourselves.
However you came to be here, I hope you find something that’s helpful.
