Life is schooling me yet again about what success looks like for me in this season.
We think we define success mentally but I’m not so sure, I think our bodies write the narrative for us. The speed we want to go, the schedule we want to keep, the ways we choose to fill or not fill our days all dictated by the energetic rhythm and tides of something bigger, a picture greater than our minds can truly capture through thought alone.
Our only jobs are to listen and act accordingly.
One of my glorious clients recently sent me a voice note, in awe of her realisation that the very things she’d wanted, the life she’d coveted for years she was actually living. Now. And it wasn’t the big bold things that allowed her to witness this reality, it was seeing her delicious life through the soft toned lens of the small and seemingly insignificant.
The joy of an un-rushed cup of tea in the morning sunshine.
This is how I’m feeling right now. In awe of the reality I’ve created. A life I’ve been coveting for years and it’s not because I’ve got more money in the bank, more stuff or more certainty about my future, no.
It’s that I can sit outside in the sun and wake up with the sound of bird song. That I can walk along the sandy shores of my new home everyday. That I feel so damn rich knowing I can lay deep roots surrounded by such magnificent landscapes. And pastry. Let’s not forget the pastry.
It’s the small things.
The things we too often take for granted while we’re busy chasing the bigger, bolder, shinier things.
The things we’re taught really matter.
And they do.
But they’re not everything.
May we never forget that….
