Whether you were sleeping when the clock hit midnight or out watching the fireworks I hope you had a good new year’s and that your 2023 has started smashingly well. After writing down my “new year’s resolutions” or focuses for the new year I had another thought about what I really want to be better at this year. 

I’m lying here in my bed breastfeeding my sleeping daughter and writing to you. What I wanted to talk to you about is getting better at doing what I can here and now, and stop looking so much at what others are able to do and what they have. I tell my daughter every day that she is the only one that can be her and that no one can do that better and that the world needs whatever she brings that is unique for her and the same goes for me and all the rest of us. And yes, I do talk to my three month old baby this way.

I truly believe that if we stop trying to do what we think we are supposed to do or be able to do because we see that someone else is doing it that way, that’s when we can find our own potential and what will become our own unique portfolio. This I’m saying to myself more than anyone, but I hope there are more of you out there that will feel inspired by it. The tricky thing for me is to feel that what I have and what I’m able to do is enough and what if it is? What if we already have and are all the things we need to reach our goals and dreams and we just don’t realise it because we think we need to be what someone else is before it’s good enough or before we are good enough to present ourselves to the world. I think we all feel that there’s so much more we should be doing but it’s only when you trust that your voice is unique and that no one can say it the way you can and you trust that you are enough that the real magic happens and you start taking off. Doing what you can is enough and the world needs whatever it is that you bring to the party. The trick is believing that so that you actually do those things and become who you meant to be in this world. And if we follow that, I think nothing can go wrong.
