one - one - eighteen - The year of authenticity and growth.
When thinking about the new year it’s easy to get lost in the "all I want to accomplish” train of thought. Don’t get me wrong, I whole heartedly agree with setting goals and crafting a plan for the coming year.
But,
Speaking for myself, this new year isn’t about becoming wildly successful. I want something more than that.
Even if I have my most “successful” year financially or accomplish my greatest goal that’s not really what it’s about to me anymore. I’ve come to understand that life is peaks and valleys. I wan’t something more than chasing the peaks. I want authenticity and growth. I want something real.
I don’t want to chase the highs anymore. This thought of, If I obtain “this” it will = "this" amount of satisfaction or happiness. That doesn’t feel real or honest to me. The truth feels much more inward that that.
I want to to feel and grow and love and learn to be alive from the inside out. When I am truly alive and true to myself from the inside out I don’t need anything or anyone to make me feel accomplished or good enough because I’ve given myself that permission. God gave me that permission, not a status or title.
I don’t need applause or likes or followers or validation to feel accomplished. ( And I mean that with complete love. )
I need truth and that comes first from within, and once that is established it makes the external accomplishments feel real and genuine.
Much love to you all in 2018 xo
