Don’t stay in one repeat episode
These moments are your life…
Live them in new ways…
Climb out the other side of the bed each morning.
Don’t reach for your phone right away, let your soul come back all the way first.
Notice small things, kneel in the garden, the park, watch the tiny worlds living amongst the grass.
Remember how your heart beats for you each day, take deep breaths in return.
Work in a different room or corner of your home.
If you don’t work or you work for someone else, carry a stone or scrap of paper in your pocket with something valuable written on it.
It can be a quote,
a word,
a wish,
your name…
Remember your world is bigger than 4 walls and it calls to you.
Eat outside.
Help someone.
Love the miracle of being here, alive, playing yourself for a short time on this magnificent stage.
Love your character.
Write it new lines.
Remember to let it laugh, weep, dance, fall down, get up, love.
Think outside the old lines.
Don’t stay in one repeat episode.
This day isn’t a rehearsal for something ‘better’ up ahead.
Walk into new rooms, make new chapters.
Own your moments, your life is made of these.
Occupy them.
Our time here is brief.
Live it wild, w i d e, open and deep.
Forward we go,
Dr Lynika

Never give in, look back or give away what you truly believe in…
If someone called your child ugly, a waste of time or hopeless, would you feel embarrassed and walk away and abandon them?
No.
Don’t treat your brain ‘babies’ any less precious…
Don’t believe the illusion of knock backs, rejections or other peoples opinions.
They’re not a sign for you to give up on what you believe in…
It doesn’t matter what others think.
It matters that YOU believe in your dreams and you protect them, help them grow and take their place in the world.
Whenever negative feedback is sent your way, grab the energy from it and transmute it into fierce fuel for your goal.
Never give in, look back or give away what you truly believe in.
Firewood is awesome and that’s what adversity is.
Make sure you burn that sweet load into fuel.
It’s not here to be carried.
It’s yours to pyromaniac.
Remember that and fierce forward!

Playing small offers no favour to this world
Those who work hard and invest in themselves do so to stay in the world stronger and longer for the people they love, and for all those they will inspire and encourage as a result.
Playing small offers no favour to this world.
Do not quit or be guilted about self-investment.
This is your LIFE and legacy at stake and nobody has the right to throw opinionated rocks at you, nor distract you with fear-soaked ‘cotton wool’ limits.
If you’re operating from reason and integrity then you must play all out for yourself.
It’s the only way to authentically reach the platform where you can go all out for others.
The more you make of yourself the more you genuinely have to offer.
“To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don’t isolate.”
― Michael Jordan
Great minds think alike, so rise up like Baruch, Michael and I, and countless others who have held fierce to their life, and don’t EVER allow yourself to be shamed out of creating your greatest self, your legacy.
You were born for this.
We can dream and envision great things but without our consistent effort and fortitude, they remain dreams.
Your fortitude is not in vain, it’s the vehicle to success. It will take you there but you need to drive it. -Dr Lynika
