Your authenticity is your strength

Dear Readers, as 2020 comes to a close the hustle and bustle of Christmas will naturally feel different this time round. My hope for you is that you create time to slow down and fully utilize the opportunity of your projects pausing and shops closing to spend time journaling, reflecting, reading and as often as you can practicing meditation or gentle stretching.

My wish for you is that you always remember that you are enough, you always have been, and you always will be. Your misunderstood uniqueness is not your work to explain, we all have uniqueness, some hide it well others don’t. Your authenticity is your strength. You are bold. You are worthy, you are humane. Often people misjudge you and even when you try to explain they may decide to hold their inaccurate view of you. That is also not your work to resolve my dear reader. Trust that by some way or another there is a message in their behaviour and a sign for you to focus on being who you are, even if they judge you wrongly.

Be kind to yourself with the same love that you give to others. If you ever feel like you are giving more than you are receiving, take a step back and observe the dynamic, is this really the case? If it is, then adjust your behaviour and ask yourself why you feel the need to overextend yourself for someone who does not value nor appreciate you. You deserve better, you deserve to be respected and given the same level of love and time that you give to others.

I have personally done this in my life, and it has transformed how I feel. I no longer give my energy and time to people who abuse it. Holding back has been a brave and courageous move, and as scary as it felt at the time, I wouldn’t want to change a thing. The pillars of a strong relationship are trust, support, respect and love. Do you feel like you are getting this?
Those who assume their harsh projections on you are fighting an internal battle that you cannot see, and it is not your job to fix. No matter how close those people are to you, your responsibility is to work on you, we are all equal and at different stages of our journey, always hold that at the forefront of your mind. You have always been distinctively perfect in your own way; we all are.
Inhale this wisdom, your brilliance, you are here to serve something higher that yourself, stride through your journey with strength, the world needs you. Now fly and be in all of your glory, leave your narratives and story behind, you have amazing work to do.
