Have you ever simply been and found it enough? This week's quote from Walt Whitman's poem, 'Song of Myself,' encourages us to embrace our unique identities and be content in our own existence. (Easier said than done!) 

“I exist as I am, 

that is enough"
Walt Whitman

(From his poem, Song of Myself)

Remember: It is okay to be exactly who you are, and that your existence is inherently valuable.  

And: Embrace your unique identities and simply be.  

How can we truly appreciate the blessings we currently possess without being overshadowed by the relentless pursuit of what we lack? Epicurus, the ancient Greek philosopher, offers a timeless perspective on this question in this week's quote of the week.

“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; 

remember that what you now have was once among 

the things you only hoped for.”
Epicurus

 Remember: Contentment is the key () to a happy life!  

Have you ever felt like you were playing a role, constantly trying to fit into a mold that didn't quite feel right? This week's quote offers an antidote to this feeling. It reminds us (me in particular) that being authentic is not a destination but a journey we embark on every day.  

“Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think

we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are".
 Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection

Shed those layers of layers of expectations to reveal our true selves!

 "Have you ever felt resistant to any sort of change?  It's easy to see change as a threat, as something that might disrupt our comfort zone. But what if we reframed it? This week's quote invites us to consider that change isn't a threat to our identity, but rather a chance to unlock our full potential."

"Change isn't a threat to who you are; 

it's an invitation to become who you can be."

Harry Soosaar
