The beautiful thing about getting rid of shame is that it can't survive in the light. Once we're honest with ourselves about why we're hiding and we expose the brokenness - shame shrivels and healing begins.
It's easy to get back into the grind on a Monday - but you're too important to do that. This morning... right now, decide HOW you will be kind to yourself today. Make a plan or you won't do it!
What do you want? How bad do you want it? Do you want it more than the excuses you've been making? Do you want it bad enough to look foolish going after it? Do you want it bad enough to sacrifice your time, your savings, and your comfort?
Shame tells us to handle heart ache alone. Sometimes it whispers things like, "If they really knew you or your struggle they wouldn't like you." So we keep it in and fight alone. But what if you're really not alone?
Hiding is one of the most justifiably dangerous things any of us can do. It's dangerous because it robs us of relationship, connection and loving ourselves.
Echos easily become noise and take away from the beauty of every day life. An echo just regurgitates someone else's thoughts. BUT, a voice comes from someone who is brave enough to offer their unique perspective.
Whenever life gets overwhelming or super out of hand and everything in every direction feels difficult, I have to ask myself one question. Am I loving well?
There is magic waiting for us all when we're willing to wake up to who we are and what we were created for. It's usually really uncomfortable. It may require forgiving ourselves or others, it might even start with learning to love ourselves.
GRATITUDE UNLOCKS POSSIBILITY. Possibility is an exchange. When we're grateful our minds and hearts are open to see the opportunity in front of us....
