SAVOUR THE MOMENTS MY SOUL

SAVOUR THE MOMENTS MY SOUL

Life is short - as you get older you realize you're past the halfway mark and the end is approaching faster than you expected. Don't sit there waiting for life to happen to you, choose to create special moments. Engage with others, feel yourself living in the "right now" - not looking backwards, and not worrying about what's to come - just living right where you are and right "when" you are. 

Look at how small children live - they embrace life as it comes, they haven't learned to worry about all the "what if's" yet, so they enjoy life and all it offers. Everything is transient - both pleasure and pain, so don't dwell on what can't be changed, or what hasn't happened yet, just be present in the "Now" and breathe in those lovely quiet moments when they arrive.

Life will happen regardless, so savour the moments.

DO, THINK, AND LOVE MY SOUL

DO, THINK, AND LOVE MY SOUL

At the end of our lives, we won't be thinking about all the stuff we own, we'll be thinking about the people we love and the legacy we're leaving behind. That legacy is made up of what we invest into the lives of those around us. Kindness, compassion, fairness, support - all qualities we offer others that cost us nothing but create a huge investment long term.

Who are you pouring yourself into? Who are you influencing in a way that will last the test of time? What young minds are you feeding, what friendships are you nurturing, what family bongs are you strengthening? 

Pause for a moment and think about the difference you can make in the world by sharing your soul with others.

SING AND DANCE MY SOUL

SING AND DANCE MY SOUL

Stop worrying about what others think. They really aren't looking at you as closely as you believe they are. They're more interested in their own lives than in yours. Live freely, let your soul sing. Try new activities that bring out the creative side of your soul. You don't need to do it perfectly, you just need to begin.

Remember that not everything stays in your life, some interests fade with time. It's good to try new things and find those that bring you joy. Add them into your life, let them refresh your soul. Perhaps they'll lead you in a new direction, regardless they'll make your soul happy - and that's what really counts. 

Don't let the fear of failure stop you finding little pieces of sunshine in your day.

LIVE TRUE TO YOURSELF MY SOUL

LIVE TRUE TO YOURSELF MY SOUL

Never let anyone tell you how to live your life. Don't allow criticism from others to take root in your soul. Know what your heart needs and don't be afraid if it's different to what others are doing. Be true to yourself - find your core values and live them out every day. Sometimes compromise is necessary, but not if it conflicts with what feels true and right in your core.

Live simply, love with all your heart, don't take onboard the world's values. Busy-ness isn't the answer for everyone - some of us need stillness and quiet in our lives. It's a privilege to live your life on your own terms and with the knowledge that you bring warmth and kindess into the world wherever you go.

Life is short - live it on your own terms and make your heart and soul happy.

BE FULLY LOVED MY SOUL

BE FULLY LOVED MY SOUL

Nothing breaks the soul more than not feeling fully loved. The soul is a tender reed that is so easily crushed when we feel that those we love care less about us than we deserve. Come with me to the walled garden of our soul and rest awhile in the peace. Draw strength there and go back into the world knowing your worth, loving and accepting yourself fully, and being willing to risk your heart with others.

You may not feel fully loved in return - but that doesn't define you..... let's be people who keep loving with our whole hearts, because the world needs more of our type of people. Let's not allow others to hurt our hearts - instead be strong in yourself, fully loved because you know your own worth, wise, and radiating warmth to those around you - so you can flourish in a sometimes barren world....

HAVE COURAGE MY SOUL

COURAGE FOR THE SOUL

I've finally realized it's time to take responsibility for my soul's happiness - I can't depend on other people to make me happy. It's completely up to me.

I've chosen to make my soul a walled garden - a place of stillness and sanctuary within this chaotic world. Bounded by walls that protect me from the hurt that comes from placing my soul in the hands of others. A place of safety, warmth, and solace.

It takes courage to own your feelings and your responses. I choose to step forward with courage....
