A Truth for Me

 

For me, the words of Nelson Mandela, “There is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living”  definitely still ring so true. I have been saying these words in so many different forms within my work for over 30 years, and especially in my blogs, and here I go again!

 

Bigger Picture

 

I know that my calling is to support you to see the bigger picture of your life and everything you have to offer – some known to you, some you have forgotten about and some you weren’t aware of.    These are your qualities, your skills, your possibilities and your love for yourself.

 

Our time together (and when you are on your own) is about how and what you are capable of expressing in ways that will enhance not only your own life, they will contribute to the good of others.

 

I will have your back and be alongside you while we look at the reality of where you are now and the vision you have of where you’d like to be.

 

In this way, it becomes a win-win situation for us all.    You are allowing you to be seen, to be visible and we get the chance to enjoy you too.

 

From this, you will re-discover life is full of mystery, wonder, curiosity and awe!   And, of course, pain, sadness, confusion and chaos.   You will be living the life you are capable of living!!

 

The Art of Divine Indifference

 

As some of you may know, my 2^nd book is called, ‘I Don’t Care – The Art of Divine Indifference’.    Really what I am saying within it is that instead of worrying what others think – focus on how you can celebrate being you in the world and not apologising for being you.   This seems to be something most of us suffer from at least at times in our life.

 

If you are trying to be accepted, to be loved, to do the kind of work that makes a difference and nothing seems to work, try this = stop caring so much about others’ opinion of you.   What can happen is you will then become more comfortable in your own shoes and start treading the path that takes you to being more at peace with yourself.   You will begin to love yourself and there is nothing better as you have included all of you and that includes ‘the shadow side’ of yourself.    Then you can trust your own opinion of you and life.

 

A Truth

 

I want to emphasise (what you might be paying lip service to) is that some will care about you, some will be indifferent to you and some won’t care for you regardless.  It is a truth and is as simple as that, however much we would like it to be different!! And although it can be a lonely place at times, you will find that the number of those who really see and care about you, will be real friends for life whether you actually meet up with them a lot or not.

 

In my opinion, life is much easier for you when you care about people, places and the things that make a difference (and I am not talking about those who have ‘made it’ in their own eyes), and let go of those who drain your energy, and all the drivel that can take up space in your life.

 

I am saying here that your legacy is about taking risks in your own way, and trust listening to yourself. It is not about people liking you!!! So if you are brave enough, take your courage in both hands and go for it, for life, and hear what you are saying to yourself.

 

By the way, for me, Divine Indifference is about being fearless, to risk rejection and be true to yourself.   It’s not about not caring.    It is about truly caring for the choices you have chosen for yourself and not what Society has told you to care about!!
