The Adventures ahead

THE ADVENTURES AHEAD

As you awaken to your life, there will be many decisions you have to make and many paths to choose from. Each path will have its own adventures, challenges and beauty. Don’t beat yourself up about these choices – embrace them and enjoy every single step.

I was far too concerned about making mistakes along the way, I missed so many opportunities. One of my favourite poems is by Henry David Thoreau about the road less travelled. Be bold my angel, carve your own paths and embrace the adventures of being alive – the possibilities are endless.

Embrace the adventure, find the laughter and learn each lesson for what it is. See yourself as the creator of your life and take each step with love and confidence in who you are.

DREAM BIG

Dream deliciously big dreams, see them in front of you and then make them happen! NEVER let anyone tell you what you are or are not capable of! Go after your dreams with a boldness and never settle for second best. Your only limitation is your belief in yourself.

So many people will try to discourage or challenge your dreams – don’t listen to them! When you know what you want, go and get it – if it is important enough to you, there will always be a way to get it done.

Nelson Mandela used the words from Maryanne Williamson in his inaugural speech in 1994 – to me, these words have always spoken deeply to my heart. Be gorgeous, talented and fabulous my little one and let your light shine brightly.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is
That we are powerful beyond measure
It is our light, not our darkness
that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be
Gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God
You playing small doesn’t serve the world,
There is nothing enlightened about
Shrinking so that other people
Won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us
Its not just in some of us, its in everyone
And as we let our light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same
As we are liberated from our own fear
Our presence automatically liberates others.
