What You Don’t Want From Life
To overcome this indecisiveness and the feeling of passively living my life as a bystander, I've found a simple little life hack that helped me find some direction.
Making Sense
I’ve been living in Calgary since November 2022 (last year), when some circumstances forced a bit of a fork in my life’s path and I had to make a pretty sudden decision to either go back to Vancouver where I had been living for the last 12 years or to come back to the city I grew up in (Calgary).
You Can Be More Than One Thing (A Reminder)
I was recently doing a Headspace meditation, and the idea of identity foreclosure came up. This is the tendency that many of us have to attach ourselves to one identity or role over our lifetime without exploring other options. Interestingly, it was something that had already been on my mind a lot.
Books for Moving Forward
Here are some of the books I’ve read over the past couple of months that have really helped me move forward from a significant change, and refocus my energy on a positive and purpose-driven life. I hope you also find these healing and inspiring too!
“Accept that you are a work in progress, both a revision and a draft: you are better and more complete than earlier versions of yourself, but you also have work to do. Be open to change. Allow yourself to be revised.”
