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

What are you going to do with all that dark?

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

This world needs your light.

 

What are you going to do with all that dark?

Find a way to glow in it…

Why?

Because that’s what you do in the dark, you find the light…

you find the smallest speck and you grow it…

and then you exude that light,

and then you shine it everywhere so that others can find the light inside themselves,

and realise their fierce right to own it. 

Shine fierce. 

Anyone who wants to complain can wear shades in the back row. 

Whoever wants you to play small, is too small for you. 

This world needs your light.

Own it. 

You matter. 

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. 

Forward we go,

Never dim your light…

Never dim your light for anyone

Never dim your light for anyone.

Be the lighthouse that you are.

It’s light that helps others navigate dark seas.

Own your life.

Live out loud. 

You matter.

No matter what happens…

Roll the dice a hundred and one

It’s ultimately not about losing or winning, it’s casting your roll again and again.

That’s where you’ll find yourself breathing the fullest, that’s where you find yourself living out loud. 

No matter what happens, get up and roll again…

As Rumi said – “Your life has been a mad gamble. 
Make it more so.
You have lost now a hundred times running.
Roll the dice a hundred and one.”

Forward we go,

Your world is bigger than 4 walls and it calls you…

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

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

If you wanted a sign, this is it…

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

You didn’t come here to fold yourself into a corner

 

The stress and fatigue live in the hesitation, the what if’s, the fear.

If you wanted a sign, this is it.

Whether entering or leaving, go there with ALL of you.

Back yourself, believe in yourself and do it in motion.

That means feeding yourself, staying hydrated, giving your mind a diet of support.

Walking through a door takes guts, that’s something to respect.

It’s a fierce act to live out loud in your life, to turn the door handle, to take that step.

But it’s what you were born for.

You didn’t come here to fold yourself into a corner.

You came here to become you.

Fear is a misspelling of fuel. Use the energy and move.

Take the step.

Your body knows, your gut knows, your evolution calls your name.

Go there with ALL of you.

You matter. 

Forward we go,

Dr Lynika

Fierce Forward

Posted on: February 6th, 2019 by Lynika Write A Comment

 

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.

Keep Walking

There will sometimes be worthy things that pop up and need your attention from time to time. Fakes aren’t one of them. Haters are just fake distractions hoping to become more. Breeze past that trash. You do You. You amazing, worthy, powerful light. Keep Walking.
