Trust the Ebbs and Flows of Your Life

You can control very few thing in your life. Try to take things come with grace, with strength and with faith.

Life shifts, things unravel and unfold - perhaps as they are intended. Listen to your body and be open to the movement of that around you. Find peace in the small things, find purpose in the responses, intentions and values you hold.

Allow for mistakes, disturbances and clashes - for balance cannot not be held onto. It can only return. Happiness is a sliding state that lies alongside a whole spectrum of emotions and experiences. Try not to let pride stand between you and others, between acts of love, humility or friendship.Try not to let guilt or blame swallow you whole. Instead seek out inspiration, creative resolutions and find strength in your own worth.

You are not a victim, a hero, or perpetrator. You are every archetype in the story. Do not allow the story in your head today blacken and blot your perspective of life. Instead, give things time and space. Allow things to shift - be patient, be kind, be honest and be wise.

Compassion starts with you. Turn the other cheek and be confident in your abilities and capabilities to navigate anything. Particularly the fierce unknown.

Remember that your life has absolutely no fixed direction - and it can go anywhere and anyway. Be brave and have courage to steer.

Trust life. Have a rough vision that incorporates a great deal of flexibility. Test yourself, strengthen your position and fill your life with beauty, small deeds and wonderful people.

Make healthy comparisons - look to role models (be it your mother, friend or favourite writer) that inspire and support your intentions and values. Then remember you still have to do life your way - there is no guidebook or manual.

Have faith and love your life. Notice the moments of joy and taking gratitude daily. Have courage in the face of difficulty. Storms come and go, as do sun-kissed days of bliss. The world is working for you not against you! Stay strong, keep your loved ones close and never lose faith in the story of your life - its ebbs and flows
