What makes you feel more alive? What fills your heart and makes you feel like you are living your life’s purpose? You see, we often put off the things that truly ignite our soul. We feel like that is a luxury that we can indulge in when we have more time. We don’t see it as important. When we get all of the things on our to-do lists done, then we can get to it.

Confidence doesn’t come from anything external. There are tons of people who are objectively rich, successful, attractive or “have it all”, yet they struggle with feeling confident because they don’t see that within themselves. Our confidence comes from how we perceive ourselves, regardless of what reality is. Read that again. Reality doesn’t matter. But how you perceive yourself does. This means that how we see ourselves sets the stage for how we feel about ourselves

Isn’t it ironic that as adults, when we have all this life experience behind us that tells us otherwise, we can be so quick to doubt ourselves? Our fears creep in and can paralyze us. George R. R. Martin said, “Fear cuts deeper than swords”. If we allow fear to consume us, it will take root in our minds. It will infect our spirit and stop us from pushing forward and keep going. As children,

The scars you wear are evidence of how hard you have fought to save yourself. Be proud of all that you have overcome. In an earlier post, I talk about how trauma creates changes that you don’t choose and that healing is about creating change that you do choose. Many times, the wars that we have had to fight where not ones of our choosing – especially when we were younger. We had to level

You can’t control how other people use their energy, but you also don’t allow yourself to acquiesce or comply

In a previous post (09.07.2021) I talked about why we tend to judge others. It’s really just a part of our human condition and a way our brain tends to categorize things so we can move on to the next thing. The problem is, when we judge someone else, we tend to make a judgment about their overall character, not about the specific situation. Our snap judgments can be deceiving. Think about it. How many

Truly knowing who we are and owning it is the best gift we can ever give ourselves. When you know who you are, what other people have to say doesn’t matter. You aren’t vulnerable to questioning yourself just because they have an opinion about you. Who we are evolves over our life time as we are exposed to different people and new experiences. Many of us don’t fully realize who we are just yet. And

We can stay stuck where we don’t belong for a very long time because we prefer the devil we know. The flip side is, we might not have to know a new devil at all. The truth is, change is going to happen in life, whether we want it to or not. Growth, however, is optional. Overcoming the urge to stay stuck in a place that sucks but is known, takes time and often immense
