Someone thinks you are an amazing listener.           Someone thinks you are too loud. Someone thinks they had your confidence.           Someone thinks you are too intrusive. Someone loves how you care about them.           Someone feels you are aloof. Someone loves how you give them space.           Someone thinks you are too weird. Someone admires you for how you choose never to fit in.           Someone thinks you are lazy. Someone wishes they could take things slow like you do.           Someone feels you're too fast. Someone feels they were your kind of go getter.           Someone feels you trust too much. Someone feels they had your sense of love and generosity.           Someone feels you don't care too much about your ideas. Someone feels you share the credit with everyone.           Someone feels you are heavy. Someone loves you because they get to hold more of you when they hug you.           Someone feels you're too sensitive. Someone respects you for being in touch with your feelings.           Someone feels that you push them too hard. Someone is grateful that you do.           Someone feels you are too touchy-feely. Someone feels your hugs and touch is therapeutic.           Some feels you are a cry-baby. Someone wishes they could learn to process their emotions like you do.           Someone feels you are never there for them all the time. Someone wishes they could draw boundaries like you do.           There are eight billion people on the planet. That means that there are eight billion ways in which people see you. Because everyone, everyone labels you from their point of view, their filters, their fears, their judgements, their beliefs, their experiences, their perceptions and their projections. People will judge you from the primary need you fulfill in their lives and how they measure their own lives.           The only version that is true is the most authentic and realised version you have of yourself. You'll never be complete for anyone. But every bit of you makes you whole and complete. Let go of the need to be loved by everyone. Just love yourself, unconditionally.                 Replace 'been there, done that' with 'being there, doing that'.                     Creators never retire.           Those who are on the path to create a better life for themselves and in turn create a better life for others never hang up their boots. In fact, they tie their laces and hit the road every day.           Taking ownership of your life and creating a big one does not lie in the drawers of an old, battered desk, but on it, right amidst the chaos of the present. Life does not lie in the attics long forgotten collecting dust and regret but loved just enough to keep you warm on an evening with friends when you brag about it. It rests on the bedside ready to be picked up where you left it to marinate last night.           Keep evolving. Never stop creating.           The best teachers in the world are still learning and teaching. Just that now it's their backyards and neighbourhood chai shacks that have become their new classrooms and libraries. The best healers in the world are still healing, still helping prana flow in their own beings and those who seek healing. The best painters are still painting, still failing, still not selling everything they create but still showing up. The best actors still go on stage every day taking in the adulation of life. The best authors are still writing, page after page, every day, still stringing fiction and reality of their lives together with words. The best bosses are still getting their hands dirty. The best musicians are still creating music. The finest chefs are still showing up in their kitchens. The best mothers and fathers are still being childlike. The best bakers are still kneading the dough with their own hands. The best shoemakers still wake up to the divine smell of leather and glue in the mornings.           A bigger life happens when you never give up or give in. Time doesn't kill your drive and the awards on the mantelpiece don't make you complacent but push you for more meaning in life. The life of our past is not the life of our present. But the life of the present is a life full of presence and abundance.           A bigger life lies in 'being there, doing that', not in the laurels and accolades of the past, not in the narrative of 'been there, done that.'             Our upcoming retreats                         Andretta Sold Out 2nd to 8th June     To reconnect to your inner child at a beautiful hillside retreat with 14+ soulful individuals will make this a life-transforming experience.
