​No one can keep you in a place you don’t want to be.
 
No one has the power to stop you from creating the life you want.

You can make a case for any beliefs you have about yourself.
 
But, is the energy and time you put in building the case for your limitations and deficiencies, the way you want to use your time and energy?
 
You can spend the same amount of time and focus towards coming up with all the reasons why you are amazing, unique, and lovable.

Beginning of a new month is a great time for reflection and pause. 

It’s a great time to re-evaluate what we want to leave behind and consciously make new decisions.

When you see other people succeed, your mind may want to trick you into beating yourself up and engaging in endless comparison.

If people want to leave, let them go. Don’t try to hold onto anyone whose time with you is complete.

Your past is just one chapter of your life.

Each new day can be an opportunity to make a different choice, to think and act in ways that honor who you want to be now.

When you feel like you’re using an old map to navigate a new terrain, you know you’re called to grow and evolve. This is how we feel when as adults we move through the world with old beliefs that no longer represent who we are.

Don’t borrow time from the present moment to create suffering for yourself.
 
We dwell in the past, regret our ‘bad’ choices, replay painful events, or escape into the future.
 
Each time we think about past we are taking the time from the present moment and we are forcing ourselves re-live it and feel the pain of it.

A big part of healing is being able to live more fully in the moment, rather than from the memories of the past. 

Everyone has creative life force within them. Some are using it to their detriment by overthinking, stressing, self-judging, and controlling, while others are using it to their advantage by problem solving, creating, connecting, engaging, and taking action. 

YouMaybe you feel stuck in a cycle of “working on yourself” but never feeling quite content and peaceful. Maybe you’re stuck in a never ending search for that next thing. A better mentor, more knowledge, or a tool that will finally help you shift into a different version of yourself.

Always treat yourself in the same way you’re asking others to treat you. If you want others to behave a certain way towards you, be honest with yourself first:

In honor of my 37th birthday (and totally inspired by Kevin Kelly’s unsolicited advice he offered on his birthday), I decided to share 37 pieces of insights, practical wisdom, and reflections that I (do my best to) live by or that helped me sometimes throughout my life.

A big part of personal development and growth is recognizing and letting go of the beliefs that no longer support us.

​There’s nothing noble about diminishing yourself to support others. You can’t help someone from a place of lack and resentment.

​​Your intuition will never lead you in the wrong direction.
 
It may lead you to places you didn’t want to go because you were scared. It is leading you there because it knows you are a greater than your fear.

​We are not supposed to be happy all the time. Happiness is just one part of the human experience. So are sadness, disappointment, anger, discomfort, etc.
