The sun doesn’t care…

You’re not here to play small

 

Be wise and adult enough to read past the (softened) cuss word to the point of this quote… 

You’re here to be you. 

You’re here to bring what you bring without a dimmer switch. 

Like I always say; people can buy shades and sit quietly in a back row if they can’t handle your brilliance. 

Don’t dim your light, volume, passion, knowing or purpose for anyone. 

If things get tough, be tougher…

If folk want to mould you into mild, walk away and rise and rise and rise. 

You’re not here to play small. 

Small does the world a disservice. 

Live in all your bones,

live out loud,

own your life. 

We need your light like we need the sun. 

You’re an essential part of life. 

Nobody is a nobody. 

YOU ARE someone. 

Someone who’s meant to be here. 

Someone who makes a difference. 

Someone who’s allowed. 

You are enough. 

I’m so glad you’re here. 

Forward we go,

Dr Lynika

So that nothing is wasted

 

Adversity and suffering will carve you…

let the right things flow in the hollows it leaves so it does not also shrink you.

I see you.

Keep going.

You matter.

That stuff aint pretty…

That stuff ain’t pretty

 

Hush to the folks who house their minds in small rooms with no light. 

Those with dogged opinions and aggressive ideals… this is your cue to take a look at your own humanity and heart, instead of dishing out stale barbed wire, judgement bile.

That stuff ain’t pretty and it grows nobody, including you. 

For those impacted by the shrunken ones, let me assure you not to be dismayed or discouraged if your well intentioned efforts, support or beliefs are mocked or attacked. 

It’s that sadly familiar, repetitive, and often ‘learned’ behaviour for some folk to be negative and fearful in the face of someone else’s beliefs, victory or stance. 

Don’t waste time or energies looking at those throwing stones from glass houses.

Your purpose and passion is a much stronger force, and it’s moving in the right direction. 

Keep your eyes forward and your head high. 

And as John Lydgate said…

“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.

Don’t divvy up your soul trying to please or appease all.

Keep on steering…

You were born to become YOU. 

Footwear, roles or people, if they hurt you they’re not your size. 

Live out loud. 

You have a right to be here and you matter. 

Forward we go,

You can’t do it all but you can do something…

Posted on: July 26th, 2019 by Lynika Write A Comment

You CAN do something

 

Be a light for others.

It’s all good and well to post memes and quotes about right action and helping others less fortunate or capable…

But it’s another thing to take action and actually help.

No dollar is too small, only the one not given.

No kind word is useless except for the one not spoken.

No donation of clothing, socks or blankets goes unnoticed except for those shivering on the streets or in poverty without receiving them.

Anything you give matters to the one in desperate need of it.

Memes alone don’t keep people warm, they don’t protect children or donate on your behalf.

Please take the small amount of time it takes to ACT on the topics you talk and post about.

There are so many ways you CAN make a real difference, right now.

BE for others the hands you’d want most in your life if it were your time in need.

There is no separation, no “other people’s children” or “other people’s struggle”

You can’t do it all but you can do something.

Do that something now.

Together, giving what we can, where we can, we stand for all. 

Be your integrity not a meme of it.

Forward we go,

The value of what can’t be measured…

Posted on: July 26th, 2019 by Lynika Write A Comment

Surface success will never grow the soul

 

We need to value what can’t be measured in order to be in balance behind the scenes as well.

Surface success will never grow the soul,

the heart,

or home. 

Don’t let anyone convince you that success comes at the sacrifice of your family or your health. 

And don’t think that a carefully constructed public profile of pretending to be ‘living the dream’ is doing you any favours. 

If your wellbeing behind closed doors is parched and ragged…

then you’re missing the point

and missing your life.

Take care to have balance.

You matter.

Forward we go,

Your future self…

Posted on: July 26th, 2019 by Lynika Write A Comment

 

It’s not too late

Your life isn’t a practice run…

It’s right here, right now.

Each and every moment is turning into a memory.

Saturate them.

Play the leading role you were given, with all your heart and gusto.

Leave nothing to waste,

dive all the way in,

widen your beliefs to match the possibilities that call to you.

Back yourself 100%

You came here to be YOU.

Live out loud and embrace your life for the fierce, brief miracle it is.

It’s not too late.

Your future self will rise with gratitude for the irreplaceable gifts you create by living wide and deep now. 

Own your life.

Live out loud. 

Forward we go,

Be kind, be kind, be kind…

Be kind. Be kind. Be kind

May you wake with generosity and give with generosity to those that have less. 

Being in a position to give, is a blessing in itself. 

And you often never realise who may be suffering deeply and going without basic human needs, in your own circle…

Sometimes it takes a long time to receive what is needed. 

Stay brave,

hold your own hand and…

Be kind.

Be kind.

Be kind.

Forward we go,

You’re ALIVE, a miracle ticket. Use it…

Posted on: July 26th, 2019 by Lynika Write A Comment

Being alive is the right moment

Biggest ticket of all is this one called your life. 

Have you sat yourself front row with a window…

or have you scooched down the back and folded yourself in between others, where you always have to check with someone else before you stand up? 

Have you put yourself in a position where you’re afraid to move too much in case it bothers somebody else?

What are you doing with your ticket? 

Stumbling about at ground zero because you’ve become too focused on limitations and idle thoughts that have become records that now play you?

You don’t need to wait for the right moment. 

Thinking your life is something that happens later, is a scam. 

Being alive is the right moment.

And now is the time to grab it. 

And if you were waiting for permission or a sign to know if you’re ‘allowed’ to live out loud in all your bones, here it is;

If you’re breathing then you are worthy and wanted on this planet by life itself. 

Breathing is your permission slip. 

Now go out and use that ticket.

Existing is like opting for sawdust at a banquet. 

It makes my heart wild happy to see you out there owning your life. 

This is how we lift the world.

This is how we evolve. 

You’re ALIVE.

A miracle ticket.

Use it. 

Own your life.

Live out loud. 

Forward we go,

You WERE born with a compass…

Posted on: July 26th, 2019 by Lynika Write A Comment

Learn to read them

Emotions and feelings are guideposts, important messengers. 

They’re really the answers within you, every time. 

They’re a built in compass that save you enormous time, money, effort and energy. 

Many people try to avoid uncomfortable feelings like the plague.

They want them to go away or be ‘fixed’ but the truth is…

emotions are there for a powerful reason, and their enormous worth and value are all too often overlooked. 

It’s like turning down a valuable gift that you really need…

all because you don’t like the packaging. 

But the quicker you get the packaging off, the quicker you uncover the gifts and are able to use them. 

When you lean into the feeling instead, and listen to it,

you become more empowered,

switched on, 

and energised.

Because you find out exactly what’s going on. 

Emotions will tell you where you’re depleted or weakened,

and what needs changing.

They’ll tell you if a boundary of yours has been compromised,

and what steps and decisions you need to make.

The additional bonus is you get to know yourself in ways you never knew before.

This leads to greater empowerment, clarity and groundedness. 

It makes you much less likely to be tripped up and waylaid by someone else’s ideas of what you need. 

It gets you in tune with your own inner compass.

It gets you moving from stuck… to momentum.

Pay attention to your feelings and lean in…

You WERE born with a compass,

a manual…

and your emotions are a big part of the instructions.

Learn to read them. 

Own your life.

You matter.
