I have just read a book by one of my favourite authors, Lisa Jewell. It’s called “Breaking the Dark” and is a Marvel Superhero book.
Don’t take that to mean it’s all fights, it’s actually an intriguing mystery that hooked me on page one and didn’t let me go. But what really struck me was one amazing paragraph at the end.
Perfect is what you are when you are listening only to the beat of your own heart, the sound of your own feet on the road ahead of you, the one pure voice that exists inside you telling you that you are fine, just the way you are.
Lisa Jewell
If this doesn’t nail the voice of the heart beautifully what does? But it strikes me that it also says listen and then follow where your inner guidance takes you. Don’t follow the noise of this world, be enough in yourself.
Heart Talk
My heart speaks to me
I listen
but I forget to act
I forget that the heart needs
the same respect
as we would give to any wise person
It needs me to pay attention
hear the beat and follow it
Matching the rhythm of my steps
to my life force
not to the noise around me
The sound of other steps
reflecting the beat
of a hundred different hearts
and a thousand different opinions
All nothing to do with me
Only in the silence
of that one heartbeat
will I find my rhythm
my voice
my truth
and my direction
And I will be able to hear those words
you are perfect as you are
you are enough

Heart truth
The noise of this world, and the overwhelming self-belief of others, is what drowns us. Makes us question ourselves. Puts us into internal conflict.
When you’re unsure, confused, doubting yourself, try going out for a walk, finding your natural rhythm, and walk to the beat of your own heart.
The answers lie in the silence.
Best love
