Embrace the Bigger Picture
To achieve the life you envision, you must recognise that you are the change that will make it possible.
We live in a world where we see everything as wrong or right. Our whole existence, how we perceive the world, is made up of beliefs.The truth is that there is no wrong in the beliefs we formed. Every belief is formed in a moment with the knowledge available to us in that moment.
As we grow and develop emotionally we discover that some beliefs no longer serve us. Unfortunately habit keeps us trapped in those beliefs with the accompanying behaviour. One of our greatest fears is to let go of these limiting beliefs. We know how to function within the limitations, but who are we when we let go?
As a result we find that life becomes hard because we are in constant battle between habit and our developing self - and ultimately this leads to a path of "long". Does that make the belief wrong? No, if it serves you, or served you, it delivered on the intention. Now it is no longer valid.
So we can choose to suffer through our long path to growth and development (I struggled and searched for 6 years wanting and knowing something needs to change, but too scared to take a leap), or we can ask for guidance and learn new tools and concepts that can allow us to shorten the path and experience more of the wonder of life.
Will you choose long or are you ready to transform?

Anger is one of the most destructive forces we possess as humans.
When we lose touch with who we truly are, we often fall into the habit of micromanaging, trying to control each detail.
Escaping from a narcissist is the first step. Sometimes, however, we cannot escape and need to find ways to survive.
We often hold on to routines, thoughts, and behaviors - even if they’re uncomfortable - because they feel like part of who we are.
Real growth isn’t about outshining others - it’s about outgrowing the limits we’ve set for ourselves.
