One of my newest affirmations and attitudes that I have picked up, and learned to love along the way, is to stop my old ways of seeking out external sources of happiness, inspiration and love. If I am feeling unhappy, I will do something that makes me happy. If I want to be inspired, I’ll try to inspire myself. If I am feeling lonely, I’ll take myself out on a date and show myself some love (if no one else is around of course, dating with other people is my first preference…). So when I get my glump on and feel uninspired, dejected and need a big ole kick up the bum to snap out of it – I turned to the best teacher I have available to me 24/7.
So today’s post is dedicated to myself and of course to anyone else out there who is/was needing a reminder that life is a journey and that each and every one of us are a work in progress. We don’t need to be perfect. We don’t need to achieve it all and succeed in every single venture. We don’t have to give up when there is a small set back. We give ourselves a cuddle and remind ourselves to strive for balance and continue on our path.
Blessings and Friday kisses from my smiley self x

Beautiful post! I thought I’d share this that I received from the Universe TUT – You know you’ve made it when you suddenly realize that there’s nothing in the world anyone might ever give you, no matter how grand or fabulous, that you can’t give to yourself. x
