It was a sobering & reflective conversation.
“I wish I’d had the courage to simply love when it felt right & live a life true to myself & not the life others expected of me or worry about timelines.”
Had a terminal patient tell me this years ago as I finished their CT.
I now view heart as the currency of life. I look for people to add value & joy to my life. That’s it. I no longer complicate experiences by letting my ego, my past, & fear of the future taint my enjoyment of the present experience & relationships.
👆🏻That’s what I told a follower this mornin before crossfit.
She said she had no idea really how to “do life” — relationships, career, or body. She said, “I don’t know what it’s like to look in the mirror & feel beautiful & happy.”
My heart ached. I empathize, I lived decades basically lost, too.
I chose this picture & song for this post intentionally. I did all my make up & hair myself for a gala. Had a great time simply enjoying being creative from a place of self love vs self hate. I felt exquisite. I prayed for someone to love me like the lyrics of this song for decades.
When you get to the point of healing & wholeness where you don’t let your body or relationship or career or the clothes etc, wear you — life completely changes abundantly.
I told her her future self will look back on her life right now, & wish she could live it again. Not because she wanted to DO anything different. But because she would wish she’d enjoyed it more.
☝🏻If I could share only 1 life lesson with you, it would be this.
BODY: love yourself & body for everything you are, not what you aren’t.
CAREER: you’re already rich if you have a career you love, roof over your head, food to eat, & people who love you.
RELATIONSHIPS: the ‘right’ one feels like freedom & home without ego. You’re able to share every detail of yourself, life, & evolve together.
We’re always living. But the question is, are you living YOUR best life fearlessly?
Drop a ❤️ if you’re ready🤘🏻
