The nature of moving forward

Is leaving things behind

And the more we carry with us

The heavier things become

Some things are certainly worth holding onto – 

Others we just hold onto because we are too afraid to say goodbye. 

Not because we can’t

But because doing so means facing our own mortality

It means coming to the realization, that everything is temporary.

If it’s not now, it’s later – it’s just a matter of time.

Just one more moment, until there are no moments left.

If you’re going to hold onto something

Hold on because it’s right.

Don’t hold on because you’re too afraid to let it go. 

Shedding is a way of making space –

Making space for the people and things that actually matter.

Because it’s only in making space, that possibility reigns supreme. 

If moments are indeed limited- 

Then it’s best to make those moments count.

  • The Decision of No Decision
    Indecision is a decision in and of itself, even though you may not recognise it as such. Your decision to do nothing – to let things play out on their own. It’s taking a back seat and waiting to see how the chips may fall.
  • Taking Your Second Chance
    It’s pointless, because history will always be confined to history. Instead it may be time to look yourself in the mirror, at the risk of not liking what you see. Because getting it right, means being honest with yourself. It comes with the brutality of having to confront your own demons, And being able and willing to take the hits. So take your second chance. Don’t look back in anger, maintain the hope And be determined to do things a little different.

    There’s a great symphony in sadness A million things conspiring beautifully together to set a sombre tone. It’s a tragedy, no doubt.  Irrational at times, often transcending words or reason....
  • Communication Is Not a One Way Street
    Communication is not a one way street. It’s not about talking, it’s about listening. It’s not about reacting, it’s about responding. It’s not about knowing, It’s about understanding. It’s not about judgement or pretense It’s about connection.
