How are you loving?

Good morning,

I was on Instagram this morning just before a clarity zoom call with a client. I was mindlessly scrolling and was thinking I am wasting my time; I need to go do xyz. Just as I was about to get off, I read a post from a multi seven figure coach (I wish now I would’ve paid more attention to her name) she had written a post about what she does with her money, and the privilege she feels she has in running her business.

She posted how she makes multi seven figures a year in coaching – and outlined how she provides exclusively for her parents and sibling, she feels this is her duty after being raised in a very poor family. She said she never felt or experienced poverty she always thought they were doing fine, she went on to say, when they would go out for dinner on birthdays, they only ever ordered a main meal and only had tap water at the table. She thought this was normal and these were her favorite nights out with her family.

Fast forward to now and she has built up her business, through education, experience, being totally who she is and building a business that is known for her reputation in being herself. She listed lots of things she is grateful for right down to her phone. She feels if you have a smart phone and internet, you can make money. However, she said the things she feels most privileged by is.

“Having the right people, at the right time love me, parents, friends, teachers, coaches, mentors.”

I sat reading that sentence over and over for a few minutes. Everything comes down to how we love and are loved.

How we love ourselves, our heart, our children, families, friends, art, business. How we are loved in return. The ripple effect changes our lives and the lives closest to us. Who we surround ourselves with, the way we love and take care of our own hearts. It is so simple and equally as complicated.

How we love and having the right people love us in return.

This made me think of how I love, how can I go deeper in the love for myself and the life I am creating, how will this ripple out to my family, friends, creativity, business, clients? How am I being loved? How is that impacting the life I am creating?

Love is self-care, love is boundaries, love is the hard choices, love is pushing comfort zones, love is being vulnerable, love is being kind, love is saying no, love is being accountable, love is beautiful, love is ugly, love is patience, love is expansive, love is impactful.

How are you loving and being loved?

Have a beautiful day.

Love Melinda.
