Hi, its me. Feeling more words than should be typed into a post, so I'll place them here.
2020 is here. We expect clarity each New Year and plan to do better. This next year, it is VITAL that you chose that which is real, that which holds true value, that which brings excitement to your soul, that which makes you - YOU. Find that and DO more to include THAT in your life.
Why? Your days are numbered, as are those of each soul you love. You will close your eyes one day. You will be faced with issues you wish for no one. You will fight. You will cheer. You will cry. You will understand. You will live. You ARE living. You are surviving.
What’s next? Not judging yourself based on a scale, or measuring your worth based on the rants of someone who missed a meal, or knocking down the opinions of your dear friend because you’ve just discovered thoughts are not always aligned. It is not this.
Choose to BE MORE! Choose to wake up a few mins early to stretch because your body can, offer to hold the door for a stranger and make eye contact, choose more water because it’s good for you, and chose to savor time and make valuable memories. RELEASE the memories you hold too tightly, and appreciate the time in which they were created, the people you knew, the person you were and how they made you who YOU ARE! These are PART of you, not the sum of who you are. Choose to BE YOU! Trust the good that DOES simmer in your soul, does want to be part of your every day. Know the warmth in your heart is meant to be shared, and will be returned. Believe that YOU ARE LOVED for the person you are, and you ARE PERFECTLY MADE!
STOP chasing silence from those who are unable to be present for you right now. This has been a loud message for me in recent months. STOP seeking approval from those who may not or can not communicate to you, what you WANT to hear. This does not impact your worth, it only means someone else is meant to walk with you in this time. Its ok to release your expectations of this silent friend/family/loved one. They will go on too! They already have.
Chasing silence and sitting in the quiet, are different. Take pause, be still, be quiet, embrace the calm when you can. Listen. Receive.
2020 is here and I'm still looking for my flying car and hoping Rosie will show up to get us ready one morning. Until that future arrives, my goal is to LIVE right here. To LOVE right now. To BE who I am and to surround myself with those who want to KNOW ME, not a version that fits into a story. Surround yourself with that which is REAL. Surround yourself with those who are TRUE. Be true to yourself first so that you can BOLDLY love others this year. That time is now. Our time is short. Its vital that we use it well. BE the love you hope to see in this world. Now.
