Hey Emma! My dear friend Rima gave me Brené Brown’s book Daring Greatly several years ago and it changed my life. I wanted to share the famous quote by Theodore Roosevelt that inspired Brené to write this book. “It is not the critics who counts; not the man who points out how the strong men stumbles; or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; who’s face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
This quote is a call to action. Be courageous, even when its difficult or you’re afraid. It’s usually in the moment when you want to give up that the breakthrough is about to take place. Every time I read this quote I’m inspired and it gives me the motivation to keep going. I hope it will do the same for you. You have everything you need within you. When you show up for yourself and do the work the results are be undeniable. But it starts with you, with the choice to put yourself first. Don’t let fear stand in your way, if you fall that’s okay get back up and try again.
Be like the toddler who takes a few steps then falls, the toddler wants freedom, they want their independence, to roam free so they don’t let the tumbles deter them, they get up and keep going – they do the work! Spring is here, it’s time for a new beginning. Don’t let fear hold you back, be courageous and create the life you have been dreaming of. We are not meant to do this on our own, this is your reminder to reach out if you need help. You can do this! I believe in you, it’s time you believed in yourself! Sending you love and light, Tina xo * The energy right now is at an all time high, our planet has been receiving major solar flares and light codes which can affect us on a physical level.
Today is also the 4/4 portal, tomorrow (April 5) is a full moon and we are heading into eclipse season. Mind your energy, rest, be in nature, ground, meditation, journal, book a reiki (energy healing) session, take an epsom salt bath. ** thank you to everyone who commented on the video I shared last week, I’m so happy it was helpful and I will continue to create videos and share them
