Daring Greatly

7/31/2015

0 Comments

 

I am about to enter into a new chapter in my life. I want to say to my Self, don't be afraid. Trust in your gut feelings. Life is good. Breathe in each step. Breathe in each moment. Move through it with confidence. Trust in your abilities. You have everything you need to move forward with your dream. You can do this. I know you can. You are ready. Think about the distance you have already walked on this earth. Let each breath guide you and remind you of your strengths, power and capacity to move mountains. You can reach the peak and become whatever your devoted heart desires. 

It's time to dare greatly my friend! 
Let go of all fears, and let your divine self write the next chapter of your life.
I in Trust. 
Believe. 
I am.

Becoming me

"I will not hold back any longer from expressing LOVE. I used to be afraid of being rejected, or of seeming needy. The 'needy' thing was one of my biggest self-doubts. I thought that if I love too much or had the need to feel loved, it was because I was needy and insecure. I recognize now that Loving fully is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of bravery. Loving with my whole heart takes a lot of courage, because I am exposing who I really am to the world, and I am taking a risk on being hurt.

I was taught in some point in my life that being too affectionate was a sign of weakness, and that it was not necessary for happiness or survival. It is for me. It takes a lot of courage to Love fully. Saying to someone 'I love you' who is uncomfortable with these words, and who would probably not say it back. 

For some reason, these three little words 'I love you' makes people feel uncomfortable. I find it so very sad that for some of us, it's easier to say, 'I hate you', then 'I love you'. 

In my thirties, I held back my love for the fear of being too needy. I told myself to love just a little. I soon realized that loving a little, was also 'feeling a little.' I was not being true to myself. I was not fully living my life. I felt small and fake. As soon as I made the decision to Love fully again something amazing happened. I allowed my true Self to be alive. I was me again and from that awakening, a purpose came to me. I opened my heart to God and heard whispers; "You are ready." I opened the doors to my own yoga studio, a place where I can share my heart and dream. I published my first book which helped me to embrace my story. My book enables me to connect with the world and becoming a voice of hope for many who had similar challenges. I am now moving forward with my dream, as I really want to participate in making a difference. I am enrolling into a two-year spiritual psychotherapy program to continue with my purpose, which is to help others to recognize their own power, potential and inner-peace. 

Loving fully, and living life fearlessly is the most courageous thing I can do, because I am allowing myself to be vulnerable and real. I don't let the fear of exposing my insecurity or weaknesses hold me back any longer. They are gifts; part of life journey; part of being human."

Everyday, my being seek new ways to expand.

Failure can be a gift

"Through time I discovered that Failure doesn't have to be a negative experience. 
Failure can be a passage; a stepping stone, to move me to a greater & stronger place.
Failure can be my teacher; a guidance to get me one step closer to my true purpose and dream.
Failure is not a sign of defeat, nor a sign of weakness.
It is a sign of courage, devotion and willingness of the heart - my Higher-Self.
Failure is about self-discovery; part of the whole process, God's perfect plan.
