We spend a lot of time watching, reading, and considering things for our own growth. Even still, it’s not easy to sift through the mountains of content that scream for our attention.We realized that instead of spending our free time growing ourselves, we were getting overwhelmed by the amount of content out there.We believe the growth journey should be exciting, not exhausting. Blue Marble is about igniting the spark of passion within us and fully embracing what life has to offer.That’s why we created “The Monday Marble” ~ to save you time searching and give you more time to live it.
We all desire to feel significant. We strive to stack up our accomplishments to grow that fleeting sense of self-worth. But why is it that the most accomplished people are rarely the most fulfilled? Maybe our desire to accomplish can actually be a trap - distorting us from experiencing the magic of today.
This week we invite you to meditate on your relationship with "accomplishment" and lovingly remind you: you are inherently worthy. No award, closed deal, or test-score can give you what you already have Let's jump in.

In each moment, there exists a temptation to exert control. A deceptive allure to make my needs and desires superior over all else. Whether in relationships, our living environment, or the workplace - control follows us into every aspect of our lives. Some of it is good - like the control we take over our own growth. But this same force can also strip our energy, tear apart relationships, and negatively impact our mental health. The practice is understanding how to harness control in ways that serve our higher call.
This week, we explore this idea and aim to bring you some practical tools to increase your awareness of where you may be over-controlling and experiment with LETTING GO.

"Your voice is your soul dynamic life urge for truthful expression" - Maryn Azoff.
Last week we explored the power of listening and how we can do it better. This week we shift our attention to our own voice. The journey to locate our authentic voice is a commitment to the path of self-discovery and personal healing. What emerges from this work is a truthful expression that is unmistakably you.
As Henry reminds us in this week's reflection, "Be intentional about finding this voice for yourself, or the world will be glad to define it for you."
