Discovering The Power Of Vulnerability
These words have really been resonating with me over the past couple of days. It was a daily meditation in Journey To The Heart on October 15th and the words just really stuck with me, so much that I felt inspired to write about it. This book is on my desk and is another one of those things that have traveled with me over the years. Sometimes it just sits there, but then other times I dive back into it and read it every morning while sipping on my coffee. It is powerful, inspiring, and brings me back to my purpose when I feel lost!
Lately, I have felt a little lost...unsure...scared...all the things!
I keep asking myself…
What am I scared of?
Why do I worry so much about what others think?
What is holding me back from living my purpose?
How do I just be unapologetically me by exposing the perfect, not so perfect, beautiful messy happy life that I am trying to live?
I don’t know if this post is to inspire you or to inspire ME, or for me to just ramble, be vulnerable, be truly authentic and myself. Some people love it when I am raw, real, honest, and others not so much. It is a weird fine line these days when you put yourself out there into the world, especially on these platforms.
In the end, though, it is impossible to make everyone happy. In the end though, what matters most is that I am happy, because as I always preach here when you take care of yourself FIRST inside and out, that happiness...that energy...that beauty is contagious, real, and oh YES there you are you, beautiful human! I have to be honest with myself so that I can be honest with others, so I can write it, speak it, feel it, release it, and live it. The beauty of being able to do this is that THEN things happen naturally, clearly, because I am ready to receive it.
This is powerful stuff that I don’t always talk about, but stuff that I truly believe in and have learned over the years. Through my work with Daune, surrounding myself with strong, intuitive friends, to just being open to new experiences, to being present, to being positive, to just BELIEVING that it will happen and come together.
This is not easy work and it is easy for me to be a “Negative Nancy” and go down that road of self-doubt, especially when I feel like I have a lot on the line professionally. I am so determined, disciplined, and dedicated to my workouts and living a healthy lifestyle and I need to take that same energy into living my truest self professionally and personally. These moments and these feelings happen for a reason and they come to revisit me every once in a while.
It is time to acknowledge it.
It is time to be vulnerable.
It is time to believe.
It is time to trust the greater power.
It is time to do ME...unapologetically, messy, beautiful, strong ME!
It is time to truly connect with myself so that I can make this all happen!
So I stand here before all of YOU ready to do this. I have written it. I have spoken it. I have felt it. If this is too real for you, move along. If this resonates with you and you feel the same, then join me and let us just make it happen together!
I love this space.
I love to write.
I love to inspire.
I love where this is going!
xoxo
