🍉 SNACK FOR YOUR SOUL
✨ You don't have to be perfect to follow your dream ✨
I have more mornings rolling out of bed wishing I could hibernate than mornings waking up saying: "Tada! Bring it on!"
I don't have a perfect morning routine. I don't exercise or meditate every day.
And still, I'm doing the work I love with people I love in the ways I love.
Not because I've gotten it all together.
Not because I'm righteous about "achieving success" or "living a legacy" or "human potentials" or "making the world a better place." (I've grown sick of all the bumper stickers and motivational mumbo jumbo.)
But because I've tried laziness and it didn't feel good. I've tried finding escape in video games and movies and food and alcohol and sex and men. And it didn't feel good, not for long, not ever.
So one afternoon as I was sipping coffee, feeling the sun on my arms, I thought:
"I was given this life. And I'm here. So what the hell, may as well do something fun with it."
That's why I'm writing these words to (try to) encourage you.
You have a dream. You may don't think you have. But I know you do.
You may think your dream is stupid, ridiculous, embarrassing, impossible. But it isn't.
You may think that you're hopeless, helpless, broken beyond repair. But you're not.
There's something you're meant to do in this world, something that will make you come alive when you do it - your passion.
You can discover your passion.
More than that, you can turn your passion into actions - even if you have no ambitions, no characters, and often in a bad mood; even if you don't believe in yourself and don't have "positive thinking".
You're not broken.
You're a human with your glitches and stains, your quirks and flaws.
You don't need to fix yourself to do what you love.
I want to help you find what you love and do what you love. I'm not a guru who pretends that her life is perfect. I'm just a crazy woman who is living her dreams despite her lousy habits and who gains a sick satisfaction when seeing people come alive.
No more postponing. No more running away.
Because you'll have a lot of fun. Because life would be exciting. And because - as much of a cliche as it sounds - the world needs it.
I believe what Howard Thurman said: “Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
What makes you come alive?

"I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship." - Louisa May Alcott
August last year, when I was on Art Of Self Love tour in Vietnam, this quote came in handy for me. The literal Bebinca storm took a 180 degree turn in direction, and was right on its way to Hanoi. I planned for a dozen of important meetings and events that week. Well… another opportunity to “learn how to sail my ship.”
Which "storm" are you in? Are you afraid of it?
Maybe you don't have to. Maybe the storm is here to give you the perfect setting to sail your ship. Be brave (Just a bit braver than you're afraid). And keep on sailing. 🌊⛵️🌊
