This little girl was at the ballet I attended.

My ultimate goal in life is to be like her.

Her outfit is not what did it.

Yes it was outstanding and clever and interesting but it was a mere reflection of her presence.

Her presence communicated happiness, pride, and exploration of the self.

With or without other people she was excited about herself and her life and her excitement invited others around her to be excited.

There!

That right there is what I want in life.

To be so excited about my world and the poeple and the experience of life that others get excited with me.

That is what I want for Nimbly, for my relationships, for my life.

Many people desire the benefits of self expression without actually knowing the self first.

We all want confidence, happiness, and drive but very few understand how to get and maintain it long term.

So we buy cars and makeup and we seek validation from social media and relationships and we live a half life.

A life that is chronically mediocre and we become “taking-off-the-edge-aholics. Drinking, binge eating, and getting absorbed in the entertainment industry to take the edge off of a life we didn’t choose.

But there’s the catch.

We do choose.

We choose our lives in the small things.

There is not a big contract to sign over our dreams. We sign them over with the little things we choose not to do, the little things we choose not to say, the little battles we choose to forfeit.

I am currently in the process of changing this in my own life.

It is why my posting and my emails and my streams have been so inconsistent lately.

I have been taking time to explore myself and the life I want.

And I encourage you to try it with me.

You see, most of us are hiding instead of exploring.

When we are alone we hide and we numb and we try to forget we are alone when we need to be exploring and leaning into our experience and our emotions.

We come out of hiding weak and afraid and insecure when we could be coming out confident and powerful and brave.

So I am currently working on exploring when I hide and leaning into the things that usually scare me away from living.

More to come next week in the new video.

Best of my love,

Kels
