In this episode I talk about one of the most important things we can posses, yet at times we often struggle with and sometimes find it a lifetime’s work to achieve, and this is how to find our own self worth. We all live in a world where the game of comparison is played out each day. Whether that be within the realms of social media, the press, with friends or families, whatever our social surroundings, it can be a heavy burden to carry. There is a fundamental issue within society today and that is how society itself tells us to measure one’s value or self worth. The main problem is that we tend to focus on constantly measuring ourselves against others, rather than paying attention to our own worth. We have sadly become so obsessed in how others see us, that we forget what is more important and that is how we see ourselves.
Before we can receive respect and love from others, we need to love and respect ourselves. This comes from knowing our purpose. Our purpose is the reason we are alive and our life is how we contribute our talent to the world and help make it a better place for each one of us.

The language of the heart is universal and timeless. There is nothing quite like it that can bring people together, into the realms of compassion, it is the magical ingredient that is able to make everything ethereal, with just one whisper of our name.
Love is the the life force that makes the universe exist and gives meaning to each breath. If it were not for this ethereal phenomena, there would be no reason for anything to exist. Divine love is what binds our souls together.

In this episode I gently touch upon the meaning of true friendship and it’s importance in our lives.
Friendship to this day remains one of the greatest mysteries in this universe. It is one of the most beautiful gifts, that we can be bestowed with and it’s sacredness is precious and noble. If it touches our lives we are truly honoured and blessed. A true friend is rare, it is someone who understands our silence, sings our music, wipes our sorrows and makes the road ahead be filled with ease and adventure. It still is one of the most profound treasures of our lifetime. Whatever relationships we have in our life right now at this precise moment is what we have drawn to us energetically. The people we meet are exactly the ones we need at any given moment and whose meaning and reason may be hidden, yet all events arise from this hidden meaning, for our greater growth and spiritual expansion.

Every moment is crucial and the decision always rests in our hands how we live, that is our infinite power. In the opening episode I discuss the topic of How To Accept Ourselves.
I look into both the physical and spiritual ways of how to conquer the adversity of the struggle to truly love ourselves and how to stop comparing ourselves to others. We are all at the brink of a new chapter of self realisation and together we can bring a huge change in the world by celebrating our differences for a global healing.
Whatever happens to us it is essential that we do not give up the hope to live, to love, to hold on to the faith of a better tomorrow, knowing with certainty that this moment can bring a change so profound, that the next hour, the next day can be transformed from despair to hope.
This episode brings a certainty of spirit and encourages us to keep walking and keep discovering the power of us.
