Stop fixing, start living

The problem with life these days is we walk around feeling disconnected, dissatisfied, disengaged, disappointed, disillusioned and discontented - but instead of allowing ourselves to feel it, figure out why and make a change, we all bury the feelings inside, we hide our thoughts, and medicate, overcompensate, work too much, distract ourselves with technology, shopping, food, alcohol, 'fun'...

Essentially we spend all our energy trying to pretend everything is fine and wondering why it's not working. We try to fix or hide the symptoms instead of asking what caused them so we can actually address the problem. 

Sometimes it is something so terrifying we don't want to admit it to ourselves, let alone others: that our life no longer resembles who we are, regardless of how noble and upstanding that life is. In that case, I hope you find the courage to make a change, and be true to yourself. 

You can't sleepwalk through life and hope everything will be ok. Find out what you're missing, pay attention to what you're yearning for. Take your passion and make it happen, as the song says.

Change . You both have to be willing and capable of growing together. The goal here is to see if you can get back to love without sacrificing your authentic selves in the process. To do this, you must remove the idea of promises, attachment...

Courage is not the absence of fear

"Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear." -George Addair Wholeheartedly believe this. We have two choices in life: be led by fear, or lead with love and courage, trusting that things will unfold and work out just as they should. Maybe not how you planned, but always for the best. Fears will never disappear. But when you make peace with your fears, possibilities will appear. The next time you feel fear, just take the superhero stance! (And do some yoga to quiet the mind.)

Dream

Would you mind dreaming with me a little while longer Because I'm not finished with you yet You tell me not to remember But I don't want to forget It may not be perfect, nor am I, neither are you But you bring me something I can hold on to It helps me surrender It helps me advance And most of all, you already know, It makes my soul dance.
