“The difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do”
I invite you to read that again
“The difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do”
The power to change is inside of you.
One of the best examples for me was when I gave up drinking alcohol and chose to follow a plant-based lifestyle.
For as long as I can remember I had a vision of a life I would love to live:-
Being barefoot, dipping in and out of the ocean, spending my days helping others, reading, exercising, meditating, loving deeply, living a clean, happy, healthy and purposeful life
And for a long long time, I did the polar opposite.
After I began healing from chronic fatigue syndrome I believe I went on an unplanned mission of self-destruction testing every area of my life and the people in it.
Because I knew I wasn’t dependent on alcohol I didn’t think it would be that much of a change, boy was I wrong?
The rollercoaster of emotions I went through was bizarrely welcoming - it was like a release of every emotion I had ever kept in.
The result was a clarity I could never have imagined, this didn’t happen immediately it was like different gates opened at different stages 3 months 6 months and so on every few months.
Anger, disgust, and disappointment of my past behaviours all started rising but the beautiful thing was as they did I acknowledged them, accepted, learned and released them
As my body healed so did I, the whole-food plant-based lifestyle felt like the natural transition.
Every day I wake up, some days I bounce out of bed others I most definitely don’t but every day now I do something, even if it’s something really small that gets me closer to being the person I want to be living the life I want to live.
Just remember it’s you, it will always be you who will make the difference
Are you willing to do what It takes for as long as it takes to make the change?
Love & light 💫
Kate 😘
