Love + Loss

    I saw this beautiful piece yesterday on a friends page + she was happy for me to share this, thank you Kelly 🫶🏻   ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹   Sometimes people walk away from love because it is so beautiful that it terrifies them. 😳    Sometimes they leave because the connection shines a bright light on their dark places and they are not ready to work them through. 🫥   Sometimes they run away because they are not developmentally prepared…

    We all know the old cliché phrase, “the grass is greener on the other side” – but most of us also know that in reality it isn’t true.   This phrase originally came from an American song written in 1924 called “the grass is always greener in the other fellow’s yard” by Raymond B.

Your brain isn’t designed to make you happy

  I was listening to a Lewis Howes School of Greatness Podcast today which was a mix of a bunch of different people he has interviewed over the years about the habits of successful people.   One snippet was of an interview with Tony Robbins – one of my faves.   Tony said:   “Your brain wasn’t designed to make you happy. Your brain was designed to make you survive.   Happiness is YOUR job, and it’s a decision.”  …
