Start a love story with 2024, with these lessons from 2023
2023 will forever be etched in my heart as a life-transforming year. So many firsts: becoming a digital nomad, launching a service-based business, leaving Dubai, leaving friends, leaving luxury — it was the biggest rollercoaster of my life so far.
There were moments that made me say ‘hell yes’ and others that just made me feel like laying still, void of any desire to go on… But somehow, like the natural course of life, nothing stays still; time changes.
Here are some deep fragments of wisdom that emerged from the duality and depth of the experiences and the year that was..
- Meeting new people exposes our unhealed selves
When we confine ourselves to familiar circles, we naturally gravitate towards a specific tribe but when we step outside that comfort zone introduces us to beings from diverse backgrounds, beliefs and more, unveiling new aspects of ourselves. In these encounters with ‘new’ people, we witness both the positive and negative sides, glimpses of our ego, our masks, and much more.
The larger the variety of people, gives us the chance to learn, look within and work on the parts of ourselves that need more light and thank those people for exposing them because without them we’d stay in the darkness forever dormant.
2. People truly do see you ONLY from their level of perception
Our perceptions which we take as gospel truth propels us into breaking ties with a lot of people, if you’re able to guage that the other person’s lens is faulty and needs work it’s OK to move on it’s not your job to fix every person.
Every soul comes with their karma, voice, imprint and it’s their journey to unlock their selves not yours.
YES help once, twice but if nothing nudges please move away
find your tribe, work on your soul purpose be in the silence of silent nights and long days if you must
3. Don’t get swayed by what other people are doing in *life”
I use the term life very loosely here. What I mean is simple
If someone is moving to the US, you don’t need to.
If someone is getting botox, you don’t need to.
If someone is leaving their job, you don’t need to.
What you need only do is tune into your inner frequency and let it be the ONLY guide.
4. True beauty was never meant to be one dimensional
We’re conditioned to put physical beauty on a pedestal hence celebrities and influencers are worshiped instead of change-makers, social workers, spiritual beings and the list goes on..
The more of life I see, the more my definition of beauty evolves
Beauty lies within me, wherein I choose to see beauty as a spectrum.
In saying this I know “that” person that society deemed “not beautiful” is not the problem but the society. That person is beautiful if we only choose to shift our dusted glasses and take a longer and deeper look.
5. We’ve idolised *millionaires* *lucky girl syndrome* *perfect relationships* in doing so we forget the parts of life that require real work.
We often end relationships over a single flaw or through a slow fade. Thanks to therapy, we’ve learned how to say ‘no,’ yet it hasn’t taught our generation that things might not be perfect from the start. Sometimes, amidst the murkiness, lies the process of learning new patterns, discovering new ways, and experiencing personal evolution.
SO, I’m sorry but I’ll not partake with people in 2024 who QUIT easy in any form my dad always said
“it’s the easiest thing to do, break a relationship”
takes no guts at all, what takes guts is tuning into your frequency to understand if the journey with this person is worth it for the long run
and if you keep chasing someone better — in relationships, friendships, life, or work good luck to you!
6. You can romance life if you stick to this main rule “don’t have strong likes and dislikes”
Be flexible, adapt, unlearn, learn in a nutshell keep evolving
7. Things which are in your control will also fall out of control if you chase the things you can’t control
Simple, doesn’t need explaining and frankly I’m tired at this point..
I‘ll conclude with an obvious yet somewhat mundane analogy, akin to telling children to ‘eat your greens.’ They tire of hearing it, but what choice do we have? Do they listen? Rarely. So, we repeat it again and again and again..
8. Take the risk, failure is a possibility but that failure is temporary it’s a part of your journey not an ending, it’s part of your evolution so in 2024
Be bold, take a risk, fail happily, work even more happily
