What are you focussing on? 〰️

It’s MAY, May 2022…time, as usual, flies past me and I’m savouring the moments of my life as I have never done before.

2022, you’re blowing me away with your style. So far, this year, for me, has been nothing short of epic, miraculous and healing. I’ve been living a life that I dreamed of - and one that slowly, but surely unravels in ways that I didn’t see coming. My heart is SO full and so happy, I can’t even begin to express this in words, and the prospect of writing about it excites me, but I’ll share more later.

Today I want to write about the importance of being someone who focuses on the Good.

It’s easy to look at the world and our lives through the lens of dissatisfaction and discontent. Especially with the internet, there is constantly a flow of a variety of lives, and even if you try your hardest best, there’s always another milestone to reach, something better you could possibly do. How does one begin to reconcile the difference between where you are and where you want to be?

Where do we bridge that all-familiar gap of being ambitious and being content & happy with where you are right now?

You might think about this as futile because the place you are right now might be completely hopeless and mostly drab or dull. Fear not, I’ve been there too. We all have. There’s a universal law of some kind where every human experiences trial, tribulations and suffering that is completely and uniquely theirs. I don’t care if you’re the richest person in this world, you’re probably going through something no one else can relate to, or you may be facing some kind of internal or external change that you hadn’t anticipated. Whatever it is, this is the chasm we all walk through, in a cyclic wandering called the human journey.

The more accepting I’ve become of this, the more challenges seem to me like old friends, some of which I know will change my life, some that will appear - and disappear just as quickly.

1. Encourage yourself: BE your best friend, the person who talks to YOU in the kindest fashion. I’ve found there are moments when your own presence is needed the most. Creating spaces where you appreciate and reflect on your journey will always encourage passages of change, moments of gratitude, a new sense of Self and also insights that will transform you in different ways. Our internal dialogue is one that is so important and one that can make a world of difference.

2. Think of each moment as part of the bigger journey: When we look at individual moments, it’s easy to dismiss them as ordinary or mundane, but it’s also so easy to forget that this is all part of the journey of our lives. Moments are microcosms of our entire life journeys and when we take this perspective into how we live them out, I’ve found it to be a lot more rewarding and a lot richer. The STORY of your life is the one that will matter most in the end, so make each moment count! Cause it’s only the moments that all add up in the end.

3. See the Good in others: For a week, challenge yourself to view people as being intrinsically good, and created to make positive changes in the world. Watch how your conversations with them change, your connection and your outlook will mirror the same internal dialogue you are having within.
