My guidance for a life well-lived.
I hope it resonates.
What are your unique gifts/talents/abilities?
I believe we are all given unique gifts. Some of you were born with obvious talents - singers, authors, artists. Keeping in mind though, these people spend a heck of a time honing their talent. There’s no such thing as an ‘overnight success.’ They’ve been working on it for years.
I believe there is a thread (link) in using our uniqueness in the world and feeling our best. So you see this isn’t about passion per se, it’s about your gifts.
What represents real life?
Whose life do you really know? And do you think that represents real life? Is there someone’s life you want? But whose life do you REALLY know? And are you really looking at a real life? I think it’s something we think we know but unless you actually live with people (for a long enough time to let them be real) you have no clue what goes on behind closed doors. This is probably a good thing.
Why looking outside of ourselves for happiness never works
OK, I warned you last week - this one's longer! 😏
Have you ever heard yourself say, ‘well if you did ____ , then I would feel better.’
We think that if we get what we want (or deserve) through another then we’ll feel good. And we do - temporarily. I challenge you to feel good regardless of your circumstance.
The moment we rely on another to affect our state of being - we’ve lost our power.
