hey, poke bowl.

a joyful life is built —

with clear intention. on passionate purpose

a joyful life is magical, but it doesn’t happen by way of magic

it’s a decision to let yourself be worthy of what you want

to break from the pack of those who settle

to sprint toward what fuels + ignites

to infuse every moment you can with what makes you say wow + yessss + hell yeah

and to dare to be easy to wow

to drop the protective coating + be tender with life, no matter who might poke your soft spots exposed

to undo all the messaging from all the people + places that taught you to be one tough customer, to make knowing your heart hard

to stop equating being seen having heart with weakness

and to bravely go forth heart first into this wild wild world, guided by connection, curiosity + shine

(or whatever inspires you most)

to be so bold as to honor what lights you up by inviting in more instead of saving it up or shoving it aside

to weave delight into every damn day —

even when tears fall + rage rises

you’ve spent so much time holding all of everyone else’s shit, you can surely hold your own sadness + fire alongside your joy + delight

(dare to drop someone else’s shit over your own this time)

may you decide not to shrink when others don’t get it or agree

and make every regular day a simply special occasion

CONTEXT: i gave myself a quarter forward SPRINGBOARD session yesterday, and this is some of what came as a result

do you believe in a bold joyful life, or do you have other goals for yours?

tell me all about it, bloom 🌸
