My writing space. A blog, if you will, on what I learn from the school of life.

Life Between Breaths

10/10/2023

 
Have you ever truly lived in the space between breaths?

Have you realised how much life exists between breathing in and out, and how much gets lost by rushing through those moments? How many heartbeats are there? How many remain to beat?

Live in that extended space and watch magic unfold.

Stay inspired. Keep inspiring.

Secret lives

31/8/2023

 
Many of us live secret lives in our heads. Dreaming of taking big stages, writing books, and backpacking for days on end.

To only wake up and run the same hamster wheel we've built for ourselves.

It is up to us to rebuild the wheel into a ladder to escape our terrarium.

Stay inspired. Keep inspiring.

Outlines

​How often are we invited to create our life? It seems that after a certain age, we are encouraged to stick with this institution or that, becoming a cog in the wheel.

To follow, to live accordingly, but not to create outside the lines. That's why when we find ourselves of age it is hard to break the way we outline ourselves.

And yet what else is there for us to do if we are to live our truth? It is scary to create a life, but not even trying secures you a space too small. A nook under lots of pressure and two little life.

You can break free at any time, all you need is courage. What's your next step?

Stay inspired. Keep inspiring.

P.S. Inspired by James Clear who wrote: “Create your life, rather than live it."

For the living

​When we lose a loved one, we often say to friends that life continues on and so do we. These experiences, no matter how traumatic, are also catalysts of sorts. They open our eyes and help us see if we were among the privileged few experiencing life, or one of those simply living.

Life continues on, that is for sure. But being an active participant is much better. Even if it comes later rather than sooner.

Because life is for the living.

Stay inspired. Keep inspiring.
