What if you could live from the sweet spot of life every day? What if you could surrender trying to be ‘good enough’ or trying hard to arrive somewhere you think you ‘should be?’
Oftentimes, these goal-minded approaches can lead us back into the same loop we have been trying to untie since childhood. But what if the need is not about being good enough” or to thinking you have to be like another.
What if the need is to fully step into your authentic self?
In moments of doubt or perceived failure, I find it helpful ask myself: “How can I be more aligned to my soul or my higher purpose today?” or “What can I let go of right now?”
I believe our personal work is to express who we are, whoever that might be, or might be becoming, and let a non-judging belief embody us and to have patience in this process. While awaiting that nebulous breakthrough there is also something else to allow. To allow ourselves time to explore who we really are. Maybe you don’t know yet. Maybe you haven’t let him or her out. In the effort to be good enough we often miss the journey of who we could be now.

Are you willing to get intimate and sensual with the mossy-edged shadow of your unexpressed self?
Do you dare to release the quirky, wild and wonderful being that could be just beneath a protective shield that has hidden you from view?
In each of those moments when you would doubt or criticize, what if you stopped and asked, what can I do to change this situation, what can I let go or forgive, what would make me feel better now?
The answer will likely be different from asking, what is wrong with me?
This is how to be well-lived and well-loved – through the journey of becoming.
Be gone pain. Be gone shame. Be gone hiding. When you’re always trying to be good enough or perfect – it gets rather boring after a while.
Ho Hum.
There is something much more exciting: You. When you can discover how to belong to yourself even when you mess up or things don’t go your way, you get another chance to…..
Live from the sweet spot!
With love,

This is a great idea. It is like rediscovering your true self and being free. Being born again in a more powerful way.
Thank you Lorii – rediscovering your true self is such a empowering process.
Mine was not so much about being good enough but always being the outsider, not fitting in. It took a while before I realized what my skills were and how to navigate to my own sweet spot.
Super awesome Joyce – we all have our own path to pursue.
This was a huge struggle for me for most of my life, and I still struggle with it at times, but it has been so freeing to learn to just believe in myself and be me.
Kudos Mindy for taking on the challenge and pursuing your own personal freedom.
Only the truly brave live in the sweet spot. What a great place to be. If you can only stay there. Thanks for leading the way!
Absolutely, Cathy! Awareness, bravery, and consistency can be a wonderful path to living in the sweet spot.
This really resonates with me. For much of my life, I spent a lot of time focused on being not only “good enough,” but being the best. And while that garnered some outcomes that I’m really pleased with, it’s not necessarily true to who I am. I’m a lot happier having let some of that go.
Gosh, isn’t it amazing how much we can really learn about ourselves Jennifer – when we give ourselves the deserved attention?
Ah! The sweet spot. You and I are on the same path, Teresa. Healing, releasing false beliefs and living our (sweet) authentic truth.
Yes ma’am we are, Reba!
So much of living in the sweet spot is about vulnerability and allowing yourself to receive. This is beautiful. We need role models like you!
Thank you Candess.
That delicious sweet spot, when you recognise you are good enough and that life is truly an adventure. It’s such a lovely feeling. The journey of becoming has taken me there. Sometimes I need a few reminders on how to use my thoughts to stay there. I love your alternate questions for when you are doubtful. Words are so powerful.
Yes, I agree, thank you Tami.
