What about the end of the year? What about the beginning of a new year?
As we head towards the end of the year, it usually feels as if a wave of the feelings and emotions we felt throughout the whole year came rushing on us all at the same time. We look at what we wanted to do that we didn't. We spend time thinking about what we started and didn't finish - understanding that even if we rushed now - it wouldn't compensate.
We focus on what we should have done or achieved this year. We concentrate on what we failed at. We chew over what didn't work out...
That's why today I felt like sending you this note to tell you that what’s crucial on your journey, what really matters for now and for the rest of your life, is to follow what's right for you. What feels right... to you!
Not what you've heard was right.
Not what you've be told was right.
Not what your parents, family, friends, society, the media... insist is right.
But what feels right to you. You. Only. You.
We're all different. We're all one of a kind. We're all a work (of art) in progress in our own way.
We all see life through our won lenses and feel life in different ways. Every experience sounds different to each and everyone of us. Just let you be you. Give you the freedom to be you. To be true to you. To not lie to yourself anymore. Or to think you need to play certain roles to deserve life. To have all the conversations, the happy ones and the sad ones. To feel everything you need to feel. To thrive in your own way. To reborn from the ashes. To understand that life is meant to be lived as you. To be JUST you. Because in the end, that’s your only real job. And that’s the only place from which you can thrive. And really help yourself. And help others.
This is the sweet spot from which you’ll stop to bounce from one feeling to another. From one addiction to another. From one mask to another. From which you'll stop asking the question: "Who am I?" And start to contemplate more. Appreciate more. And love more. To do less and BE more. Because you won't be hiding, suppressing, comparing, manipulating, rejecting, conditioning or modifying who you are anymore. You’ll have nothing to hide. Nothing to be like, look like or sound like that’s not YOU.
Make the decision that 2023 will start with just being you and thriving at it!
Because truth is, no one else but you can thrive at being you. That’s your superpower. Your magic trick. Your special ability.
Here’s to you being you!
