What does 'Life On Your Terms' look like?

What does 'Life On Your Terms' look like?

A wise sister recently shared with me some sage advice.
It came in the midst of her witnessing me in a moment of vulnerability and raw release.

She asked me tenderly how she could help.
Did I want to be held, simply witnessed or was I open to her take?
In that dark moment I was happy to hear any insight she might have that would shift me out of the despair I was feeling.

What I wasn't expecting was how deep her words would go, or how they would stay with me and in me for days, reverberating like a sacred drum  - loud and clear.

Are you playing small?

Are you playing small?

Have you been hiding behind your mask beautiful?

Unintentionally (or intentionally) closing the door on life and the glorious opportunities that may be headed your way because of old negative thoughts around your level of worthiness?
Are you withholding your gifts because you're scared to show the world who you are and what you've got?

Are you playing small sweetheart?
