The last day

IMG_8131

You can not live every day as if it was your last.

Otherwise, tomorrow, if you did wake up, you might be a bit short of money after having blown it all the day before.

However, today is now.

Now is the only point in your life that matters.

Do something exciting, say something special to someone, make another person smile, choose to be happy, do something different and new. Choose only to do, think and say good things.

Now is life, tomorrow is uncertain, and the past is gone.

We could ask ourselves at the end of each day, what did I do that mattered today?

Places we shut off

IMG_8124

In our heads, there are places we don’t want to go. Fears, pain, shame and hard lessons.

We shut off things that happened in our lives. We put up barriers and ‘keep out’ signs.

We believe by burying them so deep that they will go away. They will fix themselves.

In order to change and in order to let things go and to be able to forgive others and ourselves, we have to go there.

We have to take down the barriers, dig deep and explore it all. We have to become curious.

We can not be whole or reach our full potential as a person with areas that are closed off. By unlocking everything we will discover our real self. The person we truly are.

We are all that we are, not just the bits that are ‘comfortable’ to be with.
