The most important relationship…

The most important relationship…is the one that you have with yourself. It seems so obvious, right? And we think we get it. But do we?

When we have a healthy, loving, compassionate relationship with ourselves, we can more easily balance and gracefully navigate life’s challenges. Because we unconsciously treat others how we treat ourselves, when we’re in greater harmony with ourselves, within ourselves, we’re naturally more harmonious with others, and the world outside of ourselves.

We’re more inclined to forgive self or other, rather than poison ourselves by holding a grudge or being overly harsh on ourselves like our early caretakers did.

We unfuck the Lineage of Fuckery one step at a time. One choice at a time. One opportunity at a time.

So choose to show up differently.

Choose to show up as the highest possible version of yourself you can be in this moment. And now this moment. And now this moment.

Keep choosing. Keep deciding. It all matters, even in the moments where it feels like it doesn’t.

Often we don’t notice what’s happening behind the scenes: our hard work is building on itself, slowly. Then comes a tipping point, and we might suddenly discover we have become someone else entirely, someone wonderfully new. An up-leveled version of our former self.

More kinder, more loving, more patient, more wise. Stronger boundaries, more inner and outer clarity around “Who am I” and “What do I want.”

Dream a wild dream—how amazing could you be? How strong and empowered could you be? How creative you could truly be? What untapped resources hiding within you are ready to emerge and change your world?

“Searching all directions with your awareness, you find no one dearer than yourself. In the same way, others are thickly dear to themselves. So you shouldn't hurt others if you love yourself.”
