I had a realisation the other day that struck like a lightning bolt, hot and furious, like only a moment of clarity and revelation could. The profundity of this truth boiled down to this: the truth will set you free. So simple, so cliche, yet so transformative.

Are we listening?
Is maturing making decisions that a version of you 10 years down the road will benefit from and not just the version of you standing today? If it is, then somewhere along the way, to my awe and surprise, I have matured! Most of us believe making better choices for our future includes things likeContinue reading “Are we listening?”
Let these times activate you
Anybody else typically live under their rock, in their own little world, and doing their own little thing? That’s usually me, but every now and then I pop my head out and recently it has felt like there are a lot of things – let your imagination run wild – hitting the proverbial fan. Here’sContinue reading “Let these times activate you”

Being able and willing to spend time alone with myself and truly go through the process of developing self knowledge has allowed me to grow my conviction with one fact: This life is completely my own, and I never need anyone’s approval or permission for how I live it.

Don’t look back, you are not going that way!
One thought that circulated in my head today was how much we don’t allow ourselves to change, transform and evolve as human beings. It made think of how fear is the biggest reason for this.

I believe the universe wants to give us exactly what we are asking for. The desires of our heart – especially the ones way deep down in that vulnerable space that we try to hide – are not by accident. They are meant for us to embody, to live out and to flourish in. ButContinue reading “The secret sauce and missing piece”
