As January unfolds, beckoning us towards new beginnings, I want to share a profound mantra that I am holding dear in my heart, and I extend it to you: “Don’t just exist and float through life, live life.” It’s not just a catchphrase nor is it merely a call to action; it’s an invitation to infuse our lives with joy, laughter, love, and pure intentions. It’s a call to choose life in its fullest, most vibrant form.

Let’s dive into the depths of existence, choosing to start again with purpose and embracing the richness life has to offer.

Too often, we find ourselves caught in the monotony of life, merely existing without truly experiencing the vibrant tapestry around us, floating through life without purpose or passion.
It’s a state where days blend into one another, and the essence of our existence seems to slip through the cracks. But what if this year, we break free from the chains of routine and choose to truly live?

Choose to live fully, experiencing life as a grand adventure, and by choosing to live fully, we unlock the door to a world of untold possibilities.

This year, I invite you to choose to start again. It’s not about discarding the past, but rather about acknowledging that every sunrise brings a new opportunity for growth and joy.
The choice to start again is not just a turning of the page; it’s a conscious decision to engage with life in a more profound way. Alongside the pursuit of goals, let’s sprinkle our days with moments of joy. Dive into activities that bring laughter and fulfillment, rekindling the flame of enthusiasm for the journey ahead.

Life is a journey, and we have the power to decide the direction in which we travel. So, let’s make the conscious choice to start again, to rewrite our narratives with intention and purpose.

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to lose sight of ourselves. We prioritize responsibilities, commitments, and the needs of others, often neglecting the one person who deserves our attention the most — ourselves. This year, let’s choose ourselves again. Let’s prioritize self-love, self-care, and self-discovery.
Rediscover the joy of doing fun things, whether it’s picking up a new hobby, revisiting an old passion, or simply taking a moment to revel in the beauty of your own existence. Laugh out loud, even if it’s at yourself, and relish the uniqueness that is you.
In doing so, we not only enrich our lives but become better equipped to uplift those around us.

For the first time, I am stepping into uncharted territory, daring to do things I never thought possible. It’s a thrilling and somewhat scary prospect, but the exhilaration of breaking free from self-imposed limitations is unparalleled. I want you to feel this too. Embrace the discomfort, the uncertainty, and the fear. Let it be the catalyst for your rebirth, for choosing to live a life that aligns with your deepest desires.

Living life is not just about going through the motions; it’s about infusing each moment with purpose. What brings you joy? What sets your soul on fire? This year, commit to discovering and pursuing those passions. Whether big or small, each step towards living with purpose is a step towards a more fulfilling existence.

Living with purpose involves not just ticking off items on a to-do list but relishing the journey.
This year I am choosing to love and be loved again, with an open heart that accepts love without reservations and I think you should too. Cultivate the purest of intentions in all your endeavors, and watch as your actions create ripples of positivity in the lives of those around you.

Lastly, honour God. Let God be the foundation of everything you build. As much as you choose yourself, choose God.

As we embark on this journey of choosing life, let’s remember to do more than just exist — let’s live with joy, laughter, and love. Let’s break free from the shackles of mere existence and, instead, embark on a journey of vibrant living.Let’s embrace the spontaneity of life by doing fun things, laughing out loud, and finding solace in the beauty of nature. Choose to love yourself, dare to do the unthinkable, and live with the purest of intentions towards yourself and others.

Together, let’s make this year a celebration of life, a canvas upon which we paint our dreams, desires, and the beautifully unpredictable journey of choosing to live with purpose.

May this year be a celebration of life in all its richness, and may you find boundless joy in the simple act of choosing to live with purpose.

See you in my next blog

xoxo
