Let No -Thing Define You

"Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do. You're deciding your life right now.” Meg Jay

Around this time, many people look at their last goals, dreams and objectives. Some people focus on what they did not do, did not achieve and beat themselves up, feel guilty and take action from that space.

Others, look at what they did achieve as a demonstration that they can indeed achieve.

Some learn the lessons.

I have learnt that there has to be a balance. The balance of taking the lessons and celebrating the wins, knowing that making decisions from the balance is for your best. So many times we define ourselves by what we have, what is seen. Some of the best lessons sometimes comes from the qualities that you have developed on the journey to that particular goal or dream

The self belief

The faith

The discipline

The people who show you that they are in your corner

The self love

The realisation that self care is important

So many lessons in realising that when I am heading towards a goal, I was really just chasing a feeling.

I wanted to feel loved, appreciated, wanted, validated forgetting that all of that is in me and when others highlight it, its only icing on the cake.

Do not let any-thing define you!

Peace
