Someone looks up to you. Oh, maybe they never say it and so perhaps you think, “Who, me?”
Yes, you.
You’ve made a difference without even knowing it, and the little ripples you’ve made? They are still making an impact right now.

Don’t feel silly about the things you love. Apologizing for passion? Nah. Own it. It will draw the people who also love those things into your orbit and encourage the nay-sayers to find their own thing… because you will be an inspiration even without trying when you embrace your path and your passions.

You are the boss of your life’s work. Yes, YOU. You get to decide when and how much you work and what your life’s goals are. You get to decide what progress looks like and when to take breaks (and don’t forget to take breaks!). The world doesn’t get to tell you how to live your life. The power is in your hands!

If it is heavy, put it down a moment. Regain your strength. Maybe unload your pack and keep only the things you really need to be carrying around. You’ll get there. You’ll recharge. You can. You’re tough like that.

Dream it, and it is as good as done. Now, what that means is that if you can see it in your mind, you may as well be as happy as you already have it… because you CAN (and will!) get there!

Mistakes happen. That doesn’t cancel out all those amazing things you do right! Mistakes are, in fact, something you can compare all your wins against so that you can see just how awesome you are and how often you nail it. Rock an imperfect kind of fancy.

Seek all you want. Learn whatever you desire. Grow in the way that fits you best. You’ve got this one shot to be uniquely you… spend as much of that time as you can chasing whatever that means on the deepest of the deep levels in your heart and soul.

Magical. Marvelous. Miraculous. Memorable. Mysterious. (Un)matched. Mighty. Mmmmm… all the molten, monumental things you are, all brought to you by the letter M!

People will tell you to give it your “all.” That seems like a LOT of work, doesn’t it? Pfffft. None of us are 100 percent every single day… so that mindset only sets you up for feeling guilty when you can only manage 50 percent. Or 20 percent. Or 5. How about allow your “all” to be a sliding scale? So, give what you can, because you change from day to day. Keep doing the thing, just do it in your own amazing way in your own time.

There are always little reasons to keep going until you renew your passion and purpose. Maybe you have a pet who depends on you, or an online group where you offer advice. It doesn’t matter what it is. Maybe just realize there is a reason you are here. The miracle of your life, your particular consciousness is needed in this world…. so in the moments where you feel like it is dark or that all is ruined, you’re just in a dressing room getting ready for the next act — and your standing ovation.

Question stuff. Dig deeper. Enlighten yourself whenever you get a chance… you might find a new passion, a new purpose, a new way of dealing with stuff… and you just add to the beauty that is you.

Frontwards. Backwards. Upside-down. In sideways positions, in wheelchairs, on the couch, on the bed, in the passenger seat of the car. It doesn’t matter what direction you’re facing or where you are…. your spirit still shines like crazy.
