Sometimes the win is not always how someone or the world receives you or gives back to you but how you show up.

If you find yourself showing up for others and the world in full presence and alignment with who you are, in genuine whole-hearted, meaningful ways. If you find yourself leading more from wholeness rather than wounds, or inner truth rather than external expectations or external validation, that’s a cause for celebration.

If you still find a way to show up this way, even if it means some may consider you to be too much, too intense or you risk being minimized or misunderstood — that’s still something to be proud of.

In a world that to our detriment, too often prizes conformity over inherent uniqueness, accomplishment over inner development, and has convinced us, many of us, there is not enough possibility, opportunity, expressions of love possible, or that they must exist in a specific form — doing the work to find coherence within yourself and living from that place, is a profound win indeed.

So if you’re finding yourself here, remember to celebrate that. The work itself to get you here, is the win.🤍

I’ve been exploring coherence and my own journey working towards it as part of my podcast Ep2: The Healing Journey. Join me there if so inspired.
