Tiny Steps

One of my favourite quotes is
'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step'.

Tiny steps make way to a great path. Life is not necessarily about reaching that dream, but growing and discovering yourself along the way. It's about finding yourself and becoming the person you can be- reach your potential. It's also about feeling content, and knowing that what you are doing is right. Life is about being you.

Too often, we get lost in the madness of this world. It's really hard to pull things together sometimes. We are unsure what to do next. There is a myriad of challenges, tasks to complete, unexpected circumstances. What you can do is try to focus on one thing at a time and not juggle with too many tasks. Tackle one thing at a time. Give it your full attention and be immersed in that single task fully. In so doing, you don't feel overwhelmed and actually build momentum to tackle what's next. 

We're filled with information everywhere, every day, every moment. It's a real struggle to keep your attention on the thing you really want. It's almost impossible to be you. We tend to forget who we are, trying to live to others' expectations. It's a matter of not feeling pressured, and do what feels right. 

Don't be driven by making a big impact, but by doing daily actions, you will reach whatever you set yourself. Be committed for the long haul. Remember that it takes every single drop of rain to make the river. By being consistent in your daily activities, you'll be able to create an amazing path and create a journey of fulfilment. It's all about the progression, the experience, the journey, not the achievement. 

Life is not a bed of roses. It's a curved road, with an unknown destination. Know that things won't always go the way you want it to be. However, you have the ability to choose how to react. 

Start your journey and don't look back. You were put here for a reason. You have a purpose. Follow and trust your instincts. Look within and you'll see what is it you really want to achieve in this life.

This is it

This is going to be an honest open letter about what I've been through lately.  For a long time, I felt like I was trying but not able to contribute. There is a lot of fear surrounding what I want to create. I stumble, I fall, I rise.  It's a never-ending battle. When the mind is in play, there is always a resistant of thoughts. My thought patterns haven't been the most positive. I was a bit harsh on myself. Actually, it's like I don't know what I was doing. I was lost. I get shivers writing this. It's like these new year resolutions. You have so much hope in the future. They hardly ever come true. This is the problem: to not live in the future. I try though. To live in the present, be mindful. Let go of the past. I've read so much. This is a bit contradictory in a way. I'm constantly looking for the next book that is going to help me. Which is telling my self that I'm not okay. I'm relying on external support to make me feel bet...

Ripples of Goodness

Steph's ripples is all about making a positive impact in this world. I've spent a quarter of a century, thinking that I'm unable to make any changes to myself, my surroundings, and the world. I was self-limited and blinded to the beauty around me. After reaching what felt like the end, I'm now committed to creating a better vision of the world, by spreading goodness- love, support and knowledge.  Rohl Dahl beautifully wrote, “Somewhere inside all of us is the power to  change the world .” Welcome to this journey with me!

You have all that you need

One of the biggest learning curve in my journey was to realise that I have everything that I need. As soon as I acknowledged this fact, I stopped holding onto unnecessary material or longing for what I felt I needed. It was a huge release because I was not clinging onto a made-up world anymore. I accepted everything as it came. I felt content and so peaceful. I used to rely on external aspects of life to make my life meaningful- external support, approval, material possessions. Those things are entirely out of our control. They place you in a victim role. You expect life to unfold in a certain way, you believe that owning such and such thing will make you happy and hold onto those limiting beliefs. It's like holding onto a running water, slipping away- no control.  Once you realise that you have all that you need inside of you, it's a liberation. You don't need anything, anyone, anymore. You simply 'be'. You start living when you let go of everything that i...
