Three key elements in life to remember: courage, compassion and connection. These qualities lead to fight the imperfections in our lives.

Exploring the power of Love, belonging and being enough

When we let go of what other people thing and own our story, we gain access to our worthiness, feeling we are just enough of what we are and that we are worthy of love and belonging.

We are worthy now as is, not if and not when.We are worth of love and belonging right this

others and being perfectionist.

human emotions that we experience.We are all afraid to talk about it.The less we talk about it the more control it has

Cultivating Self compassionby letting go of perfectionismThe thing that is really hard and really amazing

is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of being yourself. Ann Quindlen

connections.Practicing spirituality brings a sense of

percpective , meaning and purpose to our lives. This the key element and a protective factor, gives life a bounce, why because we are all connected to each other by a power great than us. I

Cultivating Gratitude and Joy

letting go of scarcity and fear of the darkJoy is unlike happiness is a light that fills you

with hope, faith and love.Whereas the dark does not destroy the light;It defines it and it is the fear of our dark that

casts our joy into the shadows.

Cultivating intuition and trusting our faith

Letting go of the need for certainty.Intuition is not a single way of knowing, it is our

ability to trust many we have developed knowledge and insight based on instinct, faith experience and reason.

Faith is a mystery: We find courage to believe in what we cannot see and let go of fear of uncertainty.

Cultivating CreativityLetting go of comparisonCultivating play and rest letting go of

exhaustions a status symbol and productivity as a self worth.

Cultivating calm and stillness, letting go of anxiety as a life style

Cultivate Meaningful WorkLet go of self doubt and, “supposed to”Cultivate laughter, song and dance, letting go of

being cool and always in controlDance like no one is watching, sing like no one

is listening, love like you have never been hurt and live like it heaven on earth, Mark Twain.

Final thoughtIt gives me an outline or sort of a blue print

follow at this stage of my life.I have self doubt at times and feel could have

done few things differently.It gives me a sense of understanding about the

role of spirituality and religion in life.Leading a life to please and impress others ring

a hollow note and being creative, cheerful and bouncy is the right way to live.
