I Turned 54 + My Philosophy
I am back after an absolutely crazy few weeks including; emergency surgery (appendectomy for my daughter), business conferences and medical appointments.
Stress was high but so was learning and inspiration.
As is always the case… life was a mix of challenges, celebrations and emotions on both ends of the spectrum.
Have you ever had those weeks that you are just grateful to have BEHIND YOU?
Amidst it all… I had a birthday celebrating turning 54!
I didn’t expect this one to feel like a milestone but it does.
My beautiful mom passed away at 53 from colon cancer, that started as breast cancer (at 41). So 53 felt emotional to me in many ways. It was a realization of just how YOUNG my mom was when I hit her age with so much life and so many dreams and goals in sight for myself.
But 54 - that’s a whole new level of feels. It’s a major BONUS year, compared to what my mom had, and with it, I have some reflections, declarations and commitments to myself.
Here is the philosophy I am choosing to live by in my 54th year:
Life is a gift to be celebrated
Create a legacy life you can be proud of
Be kind
Set healthy boundaries around anything/anyone that is toxic
Take full responsibility for your life
Workout consistently
Stay youthful and vibrant
Nourish your body with healthy foods & clean supplements
Use good skincare
Choose happy thoughts
Tell those around you that you love them daily
Take note of all the things you have to be grateful for every morning and night
Aim for a big beautiful life and be courageous in creating it
Believe in yourself
Encourage others to believe in themselves
Laugh so hard you cry at least once a week
Enjoy downtime with your loved ones
Believe in Miracles
Read, listen, learn daily
Love with your whole heart
Be silly, playful and fun
This year ahead is going to be FILLED with MIRACLES and WONDER, LOVE, LAUGHTER, GIVING BACK, DREAMING BIGGER and JOY!
I am going to give it my all and fill another chapter of my life story with the very BEST experiences.
Stay safe and stay healthy my friends and appreciate this journey of life… it truly is a gift!
What has been your favourite year to date? Which points above resonate for you? I would love to hear from you.
Grateful to be on this journey with you! I BELIEVE IN YOU!
Thank you for being here.
Never forget one person can make a difference…. that one person is YOU.
With so much love,
Your friend,
