None of us has a clue. 

We grow, we do what we think is best, we try to get it right. 

We follow the actions of those who came before us, regardless of whether that is what we want, thinking they must know something we don’t. 

It can be a struggle, particularly in today’s world. 

So I thought I’d share some things I’ve learned along the way. 

They are true for me, they’re true for you and for everyone, actually.

You only heal your past by moving forward.

Looking at something from the perspective of the problem is the surest way to never find the solution.

When you stop worrying about the how of a situation, life becomes much easier.

Being who you really are is one of the most courageous and fulfilling things you can do.

When you’re overwhelmed, break down your task into smaller steps and keep breaking it down until your anxiety dissipates, allowing you to handle it into manageable pieces.

Absolutely everything you’ve experienced up to this point is for your own growth.

The biggest gift you can give to someone is encouragement.

Without accepting the darkness in you, you will never be whole.

If you aren’t learning new things, you’re dying.

The space just after the ending and right before the beginning is where the magic happens.

Choose to look at your fear with curiosity rather than dread.

Movement connects you to your soul.

It’s okay that you want a solo vacation and it doesn’t make you a bad partner or mother.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is simply be with them.

Your reality is only your perception and your perception can change if you really want it to.

Self-love is the cure for needing acceptance from others.

No is a complete sentence.
