Fridays are a celebration of LOVE!
And today is specifically a celebration of YOU…
“A CELEBRATION OF WEIRD. Don’t become a spiritual zombie, devoid of passion and deep human feeling. Let spirituality become a celebration of your uniqueness rather than a repression of it. Never lose your quirkiness, your strangeness, your weirdness – your unique and irreplaceable flavour. Don’t try or pretend to be ‘no-one’ or ‘nothing’ or some transcendent and impersonal non-entity with ‘no self’ or ‘no ego’, ‘beyond the human’ – that’s just another conceptual fixation and nobody’s buying it any more. Be a celebration of what your unique expression is and stop apologising. Fall in love with this perfectly divine, very human mess that you are. There is no authority here, and no way to get life wrong. So get it all wrong. Fail, gloriously.” – Jeff Foster
“Love is all that matters. The rain falls, stars explode in silence somewhere out in the vastness of space, and here on this tiny planet someone called Earth, sometimes we meet and hold each other.” – Jeff Foster
We all have the right to choose who we want to be and use that choice to build the life that we envision. But what do we base this choice on, how did we come to the conclusion of what kind of life we want to live? Did we look outwardly until we found an example that we can emulate and say “THAT… that is who I want to be?”
This is of course a completely valid way to find our place in the world but we run the risk of making our decision based on something that looked good from a distance, without having the personal experience that understands what that life would require from us.
The other option of course is to look inwardly and learn that “there is something that I already am”, but perhaps don’t fully understand yet. Your soul already has its unique expression which can be found in exploring all of the things that light you up, that make you come alive!
By all means look outside of yourself for ideas on what to explore but check-in within yourself to understand how your soul responds.
You are at your BEST when you understand exactly who you are and decide to unapologetically double down on the strengths that you already possess.
“Be a celebration of what your unique expression is and stop apologising. Fall in love with this perfectly divine, very human mess that you are. There is no authority here, and no way to get life wrong. So get it all wrong. Fail, gloriously.”
If you really are able to fall in love with all of YOU, you’ll become the strongest version of yourself that you have ever been! And your authentic presence will create a welcoming space that holds safety for those around you.
Mantras for embracing your weird:
- “My weirdness is my strength.” Let this mantra empower you to shed societal expectations and embrace your unique qualities.
- “I am a work in progress, beautifully messy and perfectly me.” Celebrate the journey of self-discovery and embrace the imperfections that make you who you are.
- “Every day is an opportunity to explore and express my authentic self.” Commit to living a life that explores the things that uniquely light you up.
We invite you to join our circle of love, not with a carefully curated persona, but with your wonderfully weird and messy self. Bring your quirks, your passions, and your beautiful imperfections. Here, you are loved and accepted exactly as you are.
