You DO Make a Difference

We’ve all had that person or people in our lives that impacted us. Someone that we look up to. It could be a famous figure such as Gandhi, Mother Teresa or Nelson Mandela. Or it could be the old lady down the road that always has time to listen to somebody or to help somebody out. These people impact us with their kindness. Their generosity of spirit. They are our role models. The people we look up to. The people we aspire to be like in some way in our lives. These people seem somehow to make a difference and that impacts us. You could say we want a piece of that ‘impact pie’.

Being Open to a Sense of Purpose

There’s a driving force within each and every one of us. No matter your interests, goals or aspirations in this life. A drive to be the best that we can be. It could be to start a charity that supports your community. It could be to make it to the Olympics or to sail around the world. Or, it could be to sell the best lemon meringue pie your town has ever seen! It is a calling within us that drives us to ‘more’. Ambition has nothing to do with it. It is our own personal sense of purpose. And if you think you don’t have it, I urge you to think on it some more because, trust me you do!

Do You Need To Master Your Emotions?

We’re an emotional species. It’s part of being human. So, why do we feel that we need to control our emotions? Why do we think mastering our emotions makes us ‘better’ somehow?

I’d like to look at mastering your emotions from a different perspective in this blog because I believe we need to befriend our emotions, and NOT try to control them. We need to reconnect with our humanity, and learn to master our emotions through lovingly accepting them instead.

Some Alone Time Is Good For You

Too often, we shy away from time spent alone but I believe, for me personally at least, there is great value in alone time. Great value in taking time to listen to your own thoughts. To process them. To give ourselves time to see things from a different perspective. And, to grow from listening to our own voice over the voices of those around us.

Forget Fitting In: Try Being Authentic Instead

Can I ask you, why do we so badly want to fit in? What is the drive, deep within us that pushes us to be anything but ourselves in order to be acceptable to, and accepted by, others? How is it possible that we choose the acceptance of our peers over our own? It seems ridiculous. And yet, we are overwhelmingly more likely to go against our own nature in order to please our friends, family and even colleagues! What is the appeal, and the pull of fitting in that is so magnetic?

Your Outlook on Life Effects your Entire Experience

A couple of weeks ago I had what I would call an ‘unlucky day’. I bruised my ankle, bumped my arm, had a bug fly into my ear and then ended the day scraping the palm of my hand open as I gracefully fell towards a closed door. Lol. I could have been fuming after all of that. I could have raised my fists and cursed at the skies. But I laughed it off because I don’t believe that kind of outlook on life can benefit me or set me up for a good day. Or, a good life.

5 Tips on How to be Happy Again When Life Gets you Down

There isn’t a person on this earth that is happy every moment of every day. I’m starting with this because I want you to know that even when you feel alone in your emotions there is always, right now in this moment, someone else who is feeling the same way that you are. While that might not make you feel better in and of itself, I hope it helps you see that you are not alone. And the fact that you are here reading this means you are ready to find a way out of the sadness. This is the first step. You are one step closer.

Deciding to Show up for Yourself

There is a lot of focus on showing up for everyone else in our lives. But what does it look like to show up for yourself? Does this mean neglecting your duties or responsibilities to the people in your life or can we find a healthy balance so that we don’t get left behind? I’d like to think that we absolutely can show up for ourselves without dropping the ball on other areas of our lives. In fact, I’m going to insist that we show up better for others when we show up for ourselves first!

Repeat After Me: I Am Enough

This blog is the result of me deciding to walk away. Not forever. Just for a little while. Just for long enough to be able to remind myself to reconnect with who I am. Because I am enough. Because, for a while there I forgot that I am enough. I forgot that I do not need to do, or be, anything to be enough. Let me explain. I am dedicated to this blog. I’m dedicated to the purpose behind it. And I am dedicated to being part of the solution in this world. I’m dedicated to you, and to serving you in any small way that God has given me the ability to do so. And, to me, that is through my words.
