To live the most amazing of lives…
Be DEEP
(But don’t judge yourself for when you show up as shallow. Sometimes shallow is good fun!)
Be SERIOUS
(But take your fun, pleasure and enjoyment seriously too)
Be WISE
(But remember that the ultimate wisdom is in knowing that you don’t REALLY know… so don’t fight with others over ‘facts’)
Be POWERFUL
(But remember that true power isn’t about MAKING things happen but in ALLOWING them to happen without them diminishing you)
Be STRONG
(But remember that true strength allows for gentleness and vulnerability BECAUSE of the security and safety that strength provides)
Be PROFOUND
(But allow yourself the right to be profane when the mood suits you)
Be TRUTHFUL
(But use your truth as a caress and not a hammer blow to beat others into submission with)
Be FEARLESS
(But don’t confuse fearlessness with folly or fighting when you don’t absolutely have to)
Be a WARRIOR
(But remember that the word, quite literally, translates into ‘one with the bravery to face themselves’ rather than the more commonly held idea of someone who is trained for combat)
Be COMPASSIONATE
(But don’t forget to give that gift to yourself before you give it to others)
Be FAIR
(And remember that fairness is not the same as kindness. Kindness isn’t always fair and fairness may not always seem kind at the time… but it will later)
Be FREE
(But remember that your freedom is only TRULY freedom if it makes you happy. Watch out for the fake kind of freedom that rids you of ‘rules’ and ‘boundaries’ yet still keeps you from experiencing happiness)
Be HAPPY
(But don’t hide from sadness. Avoid misery and suffering by all means, but not sadness. Sadness is just your tender side showing compassion and kindness for others)
But above all…
Be YOU!
Follow NO-ONE
(But don’t be afraid to share part of their journey as a fellow traveller)
Tolerate NOTHING
(But respect everything and everyone as well as their right to believe what they believe)
Believe NOTHING
(Except that which resonates as right and true within your own heart no matter what the source, how persuasive the ‘evidence’ or how forceful an convincing the messenger)
Harm NO-ONE
(Tread lightly through this life but distinguish pain from harm. You will often cause pain in people’s lives but resolve not to harm)
Love NO-ONE…
…above yourself.
Not your partner, your children, your ‘tribe’ or even your God.
But love NO-ONE less than yourself either.
Not your partner, your children, your ‘tribe’ or your God.
And if you forget all else, remember this…
You.
Are.
Here.
Now.
YOU are here. YOU are In this time. YOU are at this place.
YOU.
So don’t waste your time here being like someone else, speaking like someone else, showing up like someone else or waiting for someone else to come along and rescue you by ‘showing you the way’ or ‘giving you permission’ to be yourself.
Just BE!
You are here.
You’re now.
You’re enough.
You don’t have to be MORE than you are, just be ALL that you are.
Yes… YOU!
Truth, joy and love
