Go Big for Your Joy

Learn to be happy where you are.

Learn to kiss the kids and clean the house how you want to because I promise you that those things are going to pay off. Let it go. Take this summer to let go of the things that keep you from living your best life. I really want you to go hard this summer. Concerts, fairs, beach days, and summer reading lists. I want you to relish in it all. Don’t forget the soft-serve ice cream cones with sprinkles on those hot days.

This is your life. I want you to live this summer like you never lived before. Do you know how to do that? You do that by letting go. Let go of the what ifs, the comparisons, the fears that shrink you into too small. If you know in your heart of hearts that something will bring you joy, I want you to do it.

For you, I know this is going to be challenging because you have gotten where you are by shrinking, by listening and obeying the voices that don’t think you’re capable of living the life of your dreams. Do you know why they think you can’t live the life of your dreams? It’s because they shrank and they shrank and they shrank, and now they think you must shrink too. But you must be bigger than that. You must be stronger than that. Here’s what’s important to know, they aren’t any happier keeping you small. So go big. Go big for your values. Go big for your dreams and this summer I want you to go especially big for your joy.

And please share every single joyful moment so we can find our joy too.

When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize it was the search that held what was most important; curiosity." Saschia works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
