Be gentle with yourself, human you
Be gentle with yourself, beautiful human.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You don’t always have to have it all together.
You’re allowed to be a work in progress.
You’re allowed to fall and make mistakes.
You just have to stay true to you and follow those things that bring you sheer joy and aliveness in service to humanity..
Because that’s what humanity needs more of. You being fully YOU. Fully alive. Awakened.
In truth - we’re all just getting by and figuring this thing out as we go. No one has mastered it. Even the role models and exemplary leaders you most admire - they’ve also got their stuff that they’re working through.
I’ve learned this in my work. All people are going through something. Even those that project a smiley, happy, care-free spirit. They, too, have got their stuff.
And you can congratulate yourself for how far you’ve come. Today is the oldest and wisest you’ve ever been. Today is the most beautiful day of your entire life.
A wise mentor recently shared with me, “Give yourself every possible opportunity to succeed. Life is hard enough as it is already. Why not put structures in place that help you?”
So I say:
Go ask for support
Go meditate for a few hours
Go get the poster boards and put up the magazine clippings of what you most want
Go get a reading (why not?!)
Go tell someone that you are not okay
Go call a loved one or a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while
Go start that idea or company or product and get help
Go make the call
Go purchase that online course that can support you
Go seek out that spiritual community of support
Go for that walk
Go put on that amazing underwear and shoes that make you feel sexy
Go on that second date (if it feels right)
Go share your message
Go get that planner and colorful pens
Go a different route to get to work
Go try that new coffee shop or restaurant
Go be vulnerable and courageous and be fully seen and alive.
Because you’re so worth it. Simply because you exist.
I love you even if I’ve never met you. Even If we no longer talk. Even if I just spoke to you. Love infinity.
Comment which one you’re going to go do!
