So where to even begin!?

Something tells me that l shouldn’t leave it so long in-between each newsletter, because sooooo much seems to happen!?
I had every intention of writing about all of the things, events and small goals Soul Stories has achieved over these last few months, but l figured we would all be here for quite some time…
Instead l’m going to ask you what l asked at the beginning of my adults dance class a few days ago, “What is ‘one’ thing in your life right now that you don’t like or would dream of changing? Something that might get you down and wish was somehow different?”
When l gently asked them to think about it, l felt a sense of sadness, dis-ease ~ maybe even hint of hopelessness… Then right at the end of an empowering, upbeat & sweaty class (not to mention feeling super proud of their achievements over 4 weeks) ~ l reminded them about that ‘one’ thing they weren’t happy with and then sternly asked them, “So what are YOU going to do about it? What are the steps that YOU are going to take to create change about this one thing that takes your smile away? YOU are in charge of your life & YOU get to decide how to live it every day! Life is way too short, so keep trying to find your happy in everything that you do. YOU are more capable than you realise ~ so keep this feeling right now and don’t be afraid to try everything to better your one shot life!
Heads were held high and energies had shifted to strength…
l felt their souls strong, proud ~ and l’m sure they realised that what they had achieved in 4 dance classes was merely a snippet of what they could carry with them outside the studio and apply to their lives…
There is no excuse. We must keep striving to be the best version of ourself – keep working hard, pushing fears out of comfort zones and challenging our lives in every way. It’s so important to really live life whilst we are alive, doing things that gets you blood pumping and heart beating faster. Keep striving to find passion within your soul ~ not just going through the same motions day in, day out. We all know that’s not fun or happiness, nor living at all…
