#iwillwhatiwant
Very recently I was told by a (true and loving) friend that life is chipping away at me, leaving my 'raw' self show. Yes, it's true. As a matter of fact, I have been chipping away at myself, to challenge and reinvent myself, to grow and change. Here's the thing about change though. As I reflect on it more, I realise what a scary, vulnerable and inevitable place it is to be for all of us who want more out of life... and #iwillwhatiwant. Because with every chip, every little piece that leaves more and more of me exposed, amazing things like this happen. In my previous post, I wrote about what challenging myself meant. Both mind and body need to be on the same playing field for them to have synergy, and it's a struggle to try and do that alone. I'm blessed to have surrounded myself with strong women, both near in proximity and in friendship, and far in distance but undeniably connected by an energy that defies physical distance. Women who #lifteachotherup.
At the root of insecurity and weakness lies fear, and the latter must be faced in order to change and grow. So chip, chip, chip. It's ok if you're scared. Chip, chip, chip. Find your raw self.
