3 MINUTE READ ON VERSIONS OF YOU, HEALING AND CHANGE
Here is something to remind yourself, a quote that I loved and a question to ask yourself for this week…
Something to remind yourself…
Some people know how to explain something so beautifully. This wisdom by
Trevor is a great example of it: “Everyone holds a different version of you in their mind. It might be the version of you from one year ago. Maybe 5 years ago. It might be a version of you that never even existed. And the thing is that everyone’s else’s’ version of you is never actually who you truly are. It’s based upon their own beliefs. It’s based on their own insecurities. It’s based on their own idea of who you are from their own lens of reality. It’s not based in fact and this is exactly why it is so important to release the need to care what people think about you. And of course it is so much easier said than done, but it’s an intentional practice to go into your day with every single day to remember that as long as you’re showing up as your best self, as long as you’re showing up from your heart every single day, that that is truly all that matters. And there’s always going to be someone that doesn’t understand you and there’s always going to be someone that’s triggered by you. Even if you’re the kindest, most loving person in the world. Don’t let that stop you from being your true self. And don’t let that make you think that you’re wrong for being your most amazing self. What really maters at the end of the day is that you’re being authentic to who you are and you’re leading with love. If you’re doing these two things then everything else what anyone thinks about you doesn’t matter.”
I.
Be you sounds simple, but it’s actually the hardest, most rewarding thing you’ll ever do. It means standing firm in who you are, even when people don’t get it. It means letting go of the need to please or fit in and trusting that the right people will love you for you. And honestly, that’s where real happiness and confidence come from—not from trying to be what others want, but from fully owning who you are.
II.
People change—that’s life. Sometimes we grow together, and sometimes we grow apart, and that’s okay. What matters is that we’re evolving into versions of ourselves that feel right, not versions that fit someone else’s expectations. Embrace the change, even if it means letting go, because that’s what keeps us moving forward.
A quote that I loved…
Healing also means taking an honest look at the role you play in your own suffering.

A question to ask yourself…
If you’re worried about the cost of ”going for it” ask yourself what the price is of staying exactly where you are.
Have an amazing week!
