Outstanding… now that’s a big word!
So what does it take to live an outstanding life?
Well, in my humble opinion, it is about daily and weekly practises that support, nurture, grow, expand, and feed our soul. It’s about doing things that make our spirit feel happy. It’s about taking care of our heart by honouring ourselves.
The good news is that these sort of things tend to be really simple, however the challenge with anything being so simple is that we often dismiss (or forget about) them. A lot of us also don’t appreciate the power they hold.
