What is your why?

Why do, do, do I, I, I, I feel trapped
Inside a box when  I just don't fit into it?
Maybe I've been scared knowing
What's there in front of me
Maybe I been trying to be
What they needed me to be?
When I should've just been me
Why, why, why, why, why, why?
Whatever it is, let it be, let it be
Whatever it is, whatever it is
Whatever it is, let it be, let it be
Whatever it is, whatever it is, let it Jill Scott



What's your why?
I mean really? What is your why?
What is the why you do anything that you do?
The why has the answers, the why has the guidance, the why has the truth
the why comes from  inside, from the gut, from the intention

Today I had the privilege of spending time at Heartbeat Radio For Women 103.5FM
As I was there I was thinking this is so surreal I would watch Ms Marcia Miranda growing up, singing and on stage and looked up to her and here I was in the same room with her, it dawned on me that I was there because I had the courage to share my story in the most authentic way because I wanted someone to learn from my experience - that was my why. Never in my wildest dreams I thought I would be sitting in the same room with her sharing and learning as well from her own journey.
Meeting Ms Patricia Toby today as well brought my why into focus as well, she came to share her story to support her friend and that was very humbling.

I have learnt that the why may not be clear in the moment but lay it down, journal it out, ask the Universe, Challenges will pull you off course. You won’t have a filter for decision making. And when shit gets hard and you get confused... you need that why,
Today one of my why's came and introduced herself - in a radio studio in Trinidad and Tobago
And here is my new question I am now asking myself  with no judgement -"Why? What would  a person who does this need to believe in order to justify doing it?"

Peace

What is being of service? Looking upon another human being with kindness and compassion and not judgement is a profound act of service and though such a form of service lacks for whistles and bells, this expression of “service” comes from truly understanding the power of your soul and what it means to “look upon another with eyes of grace.” Carolyn Myss 1.

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
