You’re here to be you!
You’re not here to measure up. You’re here to be you!
But you do need to know who you are.
You won’t know yourself by following the rollercoaster of living up and down to others expectations.
Others expectations of what you’re supposed to wear,
your weight,
your profession,
your spiritual practice,
or who is lovingly tending on you when you have the flu.
To be you is to come home.
And to come home will be such an unexpected magical relief. 😌 💓👑

Oh, yes. Time for solitude and reflection are a necessary part of knowing yourself! Even when our children were young I’d be sure to schedule some time to recharge and reconnect with the “who” I am designed to be.
Less Facebook, more me time! 🙂
Love this Stella. A beautiful reflection to take me into the weekend: To be you is to come home.
And to come home will be such an unexpected magical relief.
Welcome here Minette! I wish you a lovely weekend spent in your own glorious company! 😀
What wonderful inspiration. Thank you for this!
Thank you, Angel, for the lovely feedback! 🙂
I have always been the one to “do my own thing” and don’t worry about keeping up with others.
That makes you a good role model for other Martha! 🙂
Wonderful reminder, Stella, “to be you is to come home”
So close, yet so far away…
Jag är inte så bra att översätta engelska till svenska men det jag har förstått är väl att man ska känna sig hemma i sin kropp. Kan inte engelska 😊..
Det handlar om att inte leva upp eller ner till andras förväntningar. Du är du och du bestämmer i ditt liv! 🙂
Jag håller helt med dig. Det är en av grundtankarna i mitt projekt 100%. Att vara du och jag 100%. Ett av skälen till att jag driver 100%-podden: http://www.charlottecronquist.org/100/
That’s it Charlotte. 100% you, that’s what it’s about!
I have been me since the first moment I opened my eyes in this world, but good knows it isn’t easy…When you don’t fit into the frame you are inevitabely considered different. No matter how much in a good way, different is still different…
So funny! I just published a vlog for today about how I’m different. Because I am. So we’re like two peas in a pod! 😀
Förstår engelska men tycker det är lite svårare då bloggar står på eng. Men antar att du menar att man ska acceptera sig för den man är och stå upp gör det
Framförallt menar jag att ingen är här för att leva upp eller ner till andras förväntningar. Det är DITT liv, ingen annnas. 🙂
An important reminder – to be as you are. No matter who you are. No one else can or should dictate your life terms. Not always easy. But very important.
And yet, most people try to be something, someone they are not… 😔
