On Stealing From Yourself and Stealing from the Future

{January 25, 2022}

Get ready, my love. Today’s post is a little aggressive, but it’s my job to make you feel a tad uncomfortable 😉

- 2 Ideas from others -

“If we are living in fears and lies, our dissatisfaction with ourselves… [allows us to] steal from the future, from ourselves. We steal from our own opportunity to grow ourselves into the person who has a right to have the life they want.”

“In the ways that we impose an outside image of ourselves onto ourselves, we are stealing from the unfolding of our own uniqueness. All demands and expectations that we place on ourselves steal from our own enthusiasm.”
