The truth is, values have powerfully changed my life
And no, they are not the stodgy things your mind might think of—the things that society wants of us, or ways we “should” behave or what we “should” hold dear
I mean values as Life directions
As desired directions
As Soul directions
They are ways that we freely choose to act while on the road to creating what we most want in Life
~Whether we get those things or not~
The point is to be living in those ways
In-the-moment
No matter what we do
And they bring aliveness and purpose to Life
Values give our lives meaning. They help us live our Life in ways that are uniquely ours
They give us sustenance on a road that can oftentimes be difficult
Because when we are bold enough to want to “have it all”—to create deep intimacy with a partner, a purpose and ourselves—there will inevitably be obstacles that come up!
Because the truth is
We’ve been deeply hurt in relationships
We’ve betrayed ourselves countless times and
We’ve made money in ways that aren’t in alignment with our deepest callings
And we’ve fallen into the trap of believing
That only a select few
The “successful” ones, are able to have it all
And feel no pain and have no struggles
This myth is disempowering for everyone
And it’s supported by our culture and it’s keen focus on peddling perfection in social media
Which causes even more suffering as we compare ourselves to others
Values though
Create a canvas to live a Life steeped in realness, in boldness, in Presence
In what matters to us
Values make goals and pain and resistance and surrender and persistence and Presence meaningful and purposeful
They are the reason for what we do
And they are freely within our control
I can create a relationship while acting with intimacy
And I can also let that relationship go with intimacy
I can lovingly notice and celebrate all the powerful work I’ve done over the last week
And I can also lovingly hold myself in the disappointment of not bringing everything to life in that week that I wanted
I can boldly declare my calling and create big and small steps to live it
And I can also boldly say I need to step back and assess if this is the right direction for me to travel in
All those situations are content in my Life
To come and go
Values however give the context
The backdrop
They are the foundation and filter to live my Life
And what I experience through it all
Is vitality
Openness
Depth
Freedom
Values are much deeper than goals ever could be
They are point of Life and the stuff of It
And they give us trustworthy direction as we set off to live a Life that is true to our deepest heart ♥️⚡️
✨✨✨✨
One of my most heartfelt values is to leave this world a better place for me having been in it, and so I live my Life with this intention in mind
And one of the ways I do this is by writing to you and creating pictures that I intend to convey the energy of change and self-empowerment
And other ways of doing this have emerged as valued actions for me to take on my unique path
So, I’ve started creating videos to connect with you on a deeper energetic level
And I’ve started creating mind maps to explain what I’ve powerfully learned in a way that makes it easy (for all of us!) to understand

Much love to you 🙏🏻♥️
