Find a way to shine and thrive. You can't stop change; we are all in a continuous shift. What is it that you want to do? Think on a soul level. If you're not doing it now, when are you going to do it. What is holding you back? What is distracting you from doing it? Review your life and turn the should've into “I am doing it now”, that will cancel regret.  

The now is all you have; tomorrow is not guaranteed. Allow people to be their authentic self by accepting their truth.  

Listen to your inner compass to find your truth. Do not fear your shadow self, when it surfaces view it as an opportunity to work through the negativity, hurts, anger and pain to put an end to it once and for all. Yes, when triggered it is natural to go to anger and indignation first.  

Allow yourself to experience these strong emotions in a safe space as you will be the better for letting it out than suppressing it. You will then enter a space where you can realize that you cannot heal negativity with more of the same. Know that the only way to achieve resolution for your highest good is to look at the situation with kindness, compassion and love and aim to include yourself as well as the transgressor, the person that hurt you.  

This will allow you to flow through this river of pain without drowning in it. Your all-encompassing compassion and kindness will allow you to resurface, restored, whole and filled with an inner peace. This will allow you to release your pain, knowing that by dealing with the situation in the right way has allowed you to put an ending to a painful situation that has been crippling you. You can move forward, lighter and brighter for having dealt with your shadows by healing it with your inner light. Honouring your emotions without being beholden to it will allow you to move through it and bring an ending to it for your highest good.  

You are not here to judge anyone. Allow them the grace to work through their own shit as we are all meant to do. You can only change yourself not others. That does not mean your actions cannot be inspirational for others. Seeing you overcoming challenges and being the better for it may inspire someone to tackle their own shadows. 

Recognize that once you have dealt with it the right way, it is over and done with. It no longer requires any further energy input from you. It is done. Now you should focus on moving forward and putting your energies into new opportunities, no longer hampered by past issues. 

I trust that these quotes will help you to make the decision to stop enduring life but to seize life and learn to thrive notwithstanding circumstances.  

Remember thriving is a state of mind that will keep you enthralled with life and allow you to drink deeply and fearlessly out of the cup of life. Allow the diverse experiences to enrich and colour your soul splendidly with all that life offers as you journey through life.

It is more rewarding than a fat bank account and half-arsed living as varied life experiences are priceless.  

Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence -Vince Lombardi

No matter how far you have gone on the wrong road, you can still turn around - Anonymous
