Quote of the Week: Captive

By admin

The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself. -Mark Caine


brave
I’m back in North America and I find myself trying to define my own success. I’ve made goals for myself and I have reached some while I’ve missed the mark on others. But I think if there is one thing that I’ve learnt, it would be the act of refusal, which means not accepting the way things in your life if you are unhappy. I’ve learnt to NOT make excuses. Not only do you keep your standards low, you also do not improve your own well-being. Without progression, there is no development, and you become a captive in your own world.
Don’t be a captive, be the driver in your life and make it happen!

As someone who still derives a lot of happiness externally, the journey of going inward helps me synthesise my thoughts, feelings and emotions. I’ve been working non-stop over the past couple of months and in my quiet moments I start to creep into a dark space. Knowing that I have the tools has kept me afloat and I know there are many others who are also in my shoes. 

If you’re feeling stuck or need to feel grounded in a practice, please join me for latest workshop where we get to journey inward and find some answers we are searching for. Always safe, always welcome, we are better together. 

🗓️: Wed, 12 Jul 8-10pm
📍: @wondrouscurations studio
🎟️: RM129 

Limited spots available, both men and women welcomed.

I haven’t had bangs since I was a kid and it’s always fun to see what their plans are each day. My blonde is starting to show, will need to pop by for a colour touch up again at @shawncutlergroup!

    I co-hosted a special workshop for #breathwork and I co-hosted a special workshop for #breathwork and #soundhealing with @hansenlee at @ommosapiens. 

While I’m going through my ebbs and flows of life, I’m incredibly grateful to connect with so many people and playing a part in their journey of self-discovery and healing. It always reminds me of what I need to work on as I sit through this experience.

Thank you everyone for coming. 🙏🏻
