An amazing thing happens when you get honest with yourself and start doing what you love, what makes you happy. You stop wishing for the weekend. You stop merely looking forward to special events. You begin to live in each moment and you start feeling like a human being. You just ride the wave that is life, with this feeling of contentment and joy. You move fluidly, steadily, calm and grateful. A veil is lifted, and a whole new perspective is born.

Full disclosure: I still wish for the weekend, I still count the days to my beach vacations, and I wouldn’t say I’m moving fluidly, calm and grateful at all times. However, I did reach a huge turning point when I became extremely honest with myself. I had hit the wall. I found I had nothing left for the following; doing things I don’t like doing for a romantic partner or friend, dealing with bully bosses/corporate culture, spending time with people I find draining, doing things simply out of duty and obligation at the expense of recharging my batteries. I decided to put my needs first and the results have been spectacular. I ended up meeting my perfect partner (even when it’s not perfect), I landed my favourite job/boss (even when there are challenges), and I enjoy life more than I ever have (allowing for some inevitably trying days). Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
Blessings,
