Gentleness, the New, Real Strength

We often talk about 'Strength' in terms of rough, tough, and powerful. Over the past 3 years I have embarked on a journey which has shown itself to me, a different side of strength. A kinder, gentle, honest strength, that comes from a place of Love; Conscious and Mindful.

When we often think or imagine strength, it is pictured as suiting up or armouring oneself. What I discovered is the compete opposite; a peeling away of the layers, leaving one 'weight-free,' so to speak. The layers of fear, guilt, and shame; or feelings of unworthiness, peeled back, reveling a different kind of strength.

When we release and let go of these chains that bind us, we are able to move forward with a new freedom. We also find our truth, moving forward with a Gentle, Kind, Compassionate & Honest Strength from a Space of Love.

Discovering your Authenticity; your true values and beliefs; what is truly important to YOU, is essential.  Kindness and compassion can be Strong, when we make the unwavering decision to Love every aspect of who we are, respect where we came from, and move forward, CHOOSING, in line with our OWN Authenticity. That is Real. And that is Strength.  For me, anyhow and in line with my values, goals and beliefs. My Authenticity.

I hope this makes sense. Its been on my mind for quite

some time. Much of our society is too angry, frustrated, and often tired. That's  because we're carrying around too much, most of which, if we peeled back the layers and asked, wouldn't be important OR was easily solvable.

Our truth has often been hijacked into thinking that getting angry is taking our power back. Taking your power back is about loving yourself, whole and complete and making choices in line with that whole love within.
