A few days ago I turned 40 🥳 Today we watched the sunrise 🌅 from the back of a jeep up Mount Batur 🌋
I spent some time reflecting on my life, what I’ve been through, who I’ve been, who I’m becoming 🫶🏽
I saw 4 beautiful children on a scooter, they stared at me so I waved with massive smiles back at me, for that moment we connected & I noticed something., the moment I smiled & waved - Showed them I accepted them & saw them, their whole demeanour changed.
It reminded me of what lives really about.
It’s not about what you’ve got, it’s not about how you look, it about having a purpose or meaning that’s bigger than yourself.
It’s about rising above the negativity & choosing to love instead, what do I mean by that?
The purpose of life isn’t about getting to an end point of things, it’s about enjoying the journey, figuring out who you REALLY are & what you REALLY want without the societal expectations. Loving yourself & others HARD
It’s about loving yourself enough to be able to go after what TRULY means something to you.
It’s about treating people with heart & even if it’s not returned or you get burnt, you don’t build a horrible field of anger around you, instead you choose to continue showing up knowing the right people will see your light & NEED your light.
It’s about staying soft in a often hard world
Life’s so much more than the house that’s paid off after the mortgage. The job that sounds good on paper but doesn’t forfil your soul, the expensive bag.
Life’s about learning how to LOVE who you are so you can in turn create a life path that helps others love themselves 🫶🏽
We get one life, what’s the point in living one where we don’t feel fulfilled? What’s the point in not living our purpose?
If there’s something you want to do, DO IT ❤️
If there’s someone you want to tell you love, TELL THEM ❤️
If there’s a place you want to travel, BOOK THE TICKET ❤️
If there’s a course you want to study, SIGN UP ❤️
If you want a divorce, SIGN THE PAPERS ❤️
If you want to grow, FACE YOUR SHADOWS ❤️
Because one day this will all just be a memory, make it the BEST memory possible, you DESERVE it!
Happy Friday, from my deep 40 year old thoughts 💭
