One of my teachers told me that "Life is your curriculum." 🏛️Intellectually I understood what he meant but I didn't really get it or feel it until much later when it all clicked.

It clicked because I learned the lesson(s) and realized that I was able to move into my true path. 🤟 I navigated the turbulent waters of releasing a marriage that was no longer working and establishing the most beautiful relationship with myself. It was not easy but necessary and so incredibly worth it!

❓So my query for you today is... What if your University of Life is teaching you something about yourself right now?
Are you going to pay attention in 'class' and learn what it's teaching you so you can get to the other side of shore?

Courage. One word with so much meaning. So much power.

And that power comes from one place...within YOU. 🌟

Trust. 5 letters that when put together often eludes us. It's one of the most difficult aspects to grasp in life (at least for me anyway 😝) yet is so integral in the fabric of our being and our relationships.
I was inspired by the words of Osho and his book, Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously.

He says:
"Trust needs great intelligence, courage, integrity. It needs a great heart to go into it. If you don't have enough intelligence, you protect yourself through doubt. (Intelligence as he refers to it here is your own inner intelligence...your inner wisdom. It is not the mind. He refers to that as intellect.)

My mom sent me the card I share in the video a few months back before I lived to Florida while I was going through a very emotional time. ⏰ It was a time similar to now from an emotional standpoint. A time when all felt heavy and scary...actually terrifying.

My marriage had come to a close but we were still co-habitating and co-parenting which was a gift but also a challenge. I had some big decisions to make about my future...none of which were clear and the answers eluded me; until I tapped into my inner strength, allowed myself to dream big and reminded myself how loved I was.

Seems as if new restrictions on our 'normal' lives appear every day. How do we navigate the emotions they bring up when things we rely on for our well-being and connection are temporarily removed?

If we take a moment to shift our perspective and look at it from another angle, we're likely to find alternatives or hidden gifts in what perceive as challenges.

One thing is for sure, there will come a time when we're looking at this from our rear view mirror. Where this time will be behind us and how we navigated it will define who we are when we show up there. ❓Who would you like to be? ❓How can you shift your perspective now to become him/her?
