EMBRACE:
Do you ever find yourself thinking: If only I had a bigger space... If only I could afford... If only I was good with colours... If only I knew my style... If only...
We all find ourselves wanting something we do not have or wish we were better at doing something. When I start wishing for something that I do not currently have, I have found that the first step to moving forward is to embrace what I do have.
I become AWARE of what is already in my life and what I am already capable of. I ACCEPT that I have a choice in how I react to my current circumstances and a CHOICE in how I move ahead.
I give GRATITUDE for all that I am and all that I have been blessed with in this life.
START WHERE YOU ARE
If only I knew how long we would be here...
We are a nomadic family, we dream of moving into a bus and traveling and exploring Australia. When we first found ourselves living in a Queenslander in Cairns we thought it was temporary. As a designer I love to create space, but I held back in this house because I thought we would be leaving soon, so why put in so much effort? At first I only worked on the essentials. But we ended up staying a bit longer, and a bit longer, and a bit longer. So instead of wishing for something else I decided I had to embrace this space and make it feel like home, regardless of how long we intended to stay.
So began my journey of finding space In the process of creating home it turns out I have also been finding space to embrace myself and I have been called to share more of me and my journey.
A REFLECTION:
I embrace
All of me. From the accolades to the "failures". From the smiles to the tears. From the joys to the frustrations. I have been greeting my "shadow side" with open arms. As I learn from my limiting beliefs I become aware and let go and find space for expansion. As I embrace my unique self without the lenses of shoulds, coulds and don'ts I am amazed at what I unearth. I embrace myself with LOVE. I embrace myself even as fear peeks over my shoulder. I embrace courage + grow CONFIDENCE.
I am aware
I embrace divine timing. I may set out a timeline in my mind, and take inspired action to achieve it, but that does not always mean my defined results will happen "on time" - on my time. But it always happens RIGHT ON TIME. So I embrace not knowing it all. I am aware of what is. I embrace the wonder and the MAGIC I have been seeking. It does not always come dressed the way I imagined. But when I change my perspective the magic has been here all along!
I accept
I now embrace the JOURNEY without an end point. I still celebrate the milestones. I see "problems" as opportunities and dreams + desires as part of my divine mission. Life is a pilgrimage and the map is recreated every moment, because I embrace CHOICE which leads to FREEDOM. I accept this as my birthright.
I give thanks
I am grateful for all that is. I am full of gratitude for my life as it is NOW. Through this I find space for ABUNDANCE. I am grateful for all the steps that have lead me here. I am grateful for what is to come. I am grateful for continued CLARITY. I am grateful to see my fears as motivation rather than roadblocks. I am grateful for all my emotions and my ability to FEEL. I am grateful for this truly amazing life here on Earth and for my Soul that reaches beyond this plane. I am grateful for INFINITE POSSIBILITIES. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I will continue to share more of my journey with you here in future posts, see you then. To have INSPIRATION delivered directly to your inbox sign up here.
