Hi, my name is mabel
One of the biggest insights that changed my life is that Love is not of humans - it’s of this earth. It is a force of this cosmos. And, one the most rebellious thoughts I have is that you were never meant to love yourself - you were meant to be loved by Life. The good news? You already are. The question I ask is are you leading life from that love or from fear?
I believe when we seek more meaning and purpose what we’re actually looking for is a deepening of our connection with Life. A grounded confidence. A deeper layer of knowing to base our next decisions off of. An aliveness and intuition intact. Our gifts. Our gifts offered back to this world out of love. Out of wanting to nurture the life force of our being and all other beings. Out of realizing that that life force is one planetary force that exists in all. And when we can tap into that oneness, it becomes easier to individuate – to risk stepping into your unique purpose. Not the one our ego is telling us to follow to save our reputation. But the one that Life actually made you live for.
The one to which you belong.
