My dear, who are you? Yes, you may be a wife, mom, student, artist… but who are you, really?
What do you hold most dear in your heart? How do you shine brightest? What dreams do you have for this world?
These are the questions we need to ask ourselves if we desire a life that’s truly joyful and fulfilling. How can we live our truth if we do not know who we are?
We need self-awareness to live beautifully authentic lives.
Learn Your Truth
Girl, forget onion analogies; you’re a freakin’ geode. Okay, that doesn’t sound much fancier, but trust me— it is. We’re not peeling back layers to reach a center that makes us cry. We’re chipping away at the protective layers until we reach the gorgeous, sparkly parts that are YOU.
Do you see how beautiful you are???
What’s hidden within you? There are so many exciting surprises and hidden bits to discover! (There’s some rough stuff to look at, too; like geodes, we’re not absolutely perfect crystals underneath— but also like geodes, beautiful nonetheless.)
Yes, there’s so much to see and learn and do in the outer world, but have you ever explored your inner world? It is just as fascinating, I promise!
When you gain awareness of what’s going on within, you also gain empowerment. You gain the power to love and care for yourself in the best way possible, the power to change and grow, the power to courageously be your radiantly authentic self. You rise up.
Imagine your inner world drawn out as a map. Maybe the pieces of you are islands, and you sail to each one. Maybe you are composed of many grand cities, and you take the train. My map shows ancient forests across the land, and I cross the terrain on the back of a wolf. This is your inner world— how does it appear to you?
These islands or cities or forests have names. One is called “Values,” another “Strengths,” and another “Beliefs.” There are many, many places, too many to explore in one day. But your map will always show you the way.
Live Your Truth
You can’t just stop at knowing your truth; however, you need to live it.
The most beautiful thing you can be is you.
The most inspiring thing you can be is you.
The most rewarding thing you can be is you.
The answers to your happiest life are within you. If you are brave enough to explore your inner world and brave enough to let it guide you in the outer world, you will create a life most definitely worth living.
When you are yourself, there is strength behind your choices. There is energy and aliveness in your actions. When you are yourself, you are shining in all your glory, and you are a gift to the world.
I believe in you. I believe in the gorgeous crystals sparkling just beneath your surface. I believe in your strength to crack yourself open and peer inside. I believe in the magic that will happen when you let the rest of the world see the beauty inside you. Darling, you got this.
Hey there, fellow free spirit!
