Life is not a problem to be solved,
but a mystery to be lived.
Follow the path that is no path,
follow your bliss.
Joseph Campbell

- Always look your best. Smile. Plan trips. Do creative things.
- Read books that help you grow.
Inner work (journal)
- Reflect on your day/week. What did you do? How did you treat people? What happened and why did it happen? What do you need to change? What can you learn? How do you contribute to others? What can you do? How can you improve yourself? Focus on one thing at a time. Slowly incorporate new habits into your life.
- Visualize. Write down what you want to have/experience/achieve in the next 3 years of your life. Imagine yourself having and doing the things that you're working towards. Make a vision board. Pray about it. Believe.
- Evaluate people in your life. Are they adding value to your life? How do they influence you? Who do you want to be? What do you like/dislike? Decide what your priorities are. Set boundaries. You teach people how to treat you. Break free from people and habits that's hurting you.
- Focus on gratitude.
1. Be still & present. Indulge your senses. Allow people to help you.
2. Connect with nature. Spend time outdoors. Have plants/flowers in your home.
3. Have fun. Laugh. Do something different. Take care of yourself. Love your body.

5. Explore your creativity. Discover your talents. Find your purpose.
Inspiration exists, but it has
to find you working.

Patience is waiting.
Not passively waiting, that is laziness.
But to keep going when the going is hard
and slow - that is patience.
Leo Tolstoy
I sometimes try to imagine what would have
happened if we'd known the bonobo first
and the chimpanzee only later - or not at all.
The discussion about human evolution might not
revolve as much around violence, warfare and
male dominance, but rather around sexuality,
empathy, caring and cooperation.
Frans de Waal
A woman is the full circle.
Within her is the power to create,
nurture and transform.
