We’re often so hard on ourselves. But remember, everybody has a chapter they don’t read out loud. Take a moment. Sit back. Marvel at your life; at the mistakes that gave you wisdom, at the suffering that gave you strength. Despite everything, you still move forward, be proud of this. Continue to endure. Continue to persevere. And remember, no matter how dark it gets, the sun will rise again.

“My husband and I were shopping in a store and noticed this really old lady, with only a few bits in her trolley, kept looking at all of the lovely cakes in the freezers; walking away and then going back. Suddenly my husband went up to her and said, “Merry Christmas darling, our treat,” and gave her £20. She was gobsmacked, with tears in her eyes. The £20 helped her more than we needed it.”

I have decided to stop saying yes to people and situations that don’t support my well-being. Instead, I will say yes to my happiness, and yes to my growth, and yes to all the people and things that inspire me to be authentic and whole, while at the same time accepting me just as I am. My yes, from here on out, is my pledge to live honestly, my commitment to love myself fiercely, and my cry to create my best life possible. YES!

When a flashlight grows dim or quits working, do you just throw it away? Of course not. You change the batteries. When a person messes up or finds themselves in a dark place, do you cast them aside? Of course not! You help them change their batteries. Some need AA… attention and affection; some need AAA… attention, affection, and acceptance; some need C…. compassion; some need D… direction. And if they still don’t seem to shine… simply sit with them quietly and share your light.

To protect your energy… It’s okay to cancel a commitment. It’s okay to not answer a call. It’s okay to change your mind. It’s okay to want to be alone. It’s okay to take a day off. It’s okay to do nothing. It’s okay to speak up, and it’s okay to let go.
Have you ever quieted your mind, listened to the quiet and subtle movement in your heart, and felt a very small but beautiful feeling of openness and softness arise?
