Sometimes I wake up and need to be frankly reminded that the best version of myself is also awake; just covered in the sheets. I need a swift check-up-from-the-neck-up and a giggle to keep things light. This morning I wrote a note to her…
Dear the Highest Version of Steph Corker –
May you never forget that life is a choice. That every morsel of food you consume, heart beat you expend, conversation you engage in, hug you give and compliment you receive…it’s a choice. My wish is that you hold your head high with pride for being the best version of yourself today and your heart big with gratitude for everything, absolutely everything that comes your way; the pain and the sorrow, the fresh friendships and old ones gone wrong, the love and the joy.
May you never forget that you have the honor of spending your days at lululemon. The place where people will spend 6hrs in a line up waiting for product at a mere slight discount; where 1000’s send their resumes daily, the place that you signed on the dotted line that YES, I will work there….never ever take that for granted.
May you be sweet enough with yourself that sleep may beat a swim one morning, and that is okay. And strong enough with yourself, that rain won’t stop you from a tempo run.
May you be bold enough to ask for what you really want and strong enough to stand tall when you don’t get it. You made the choice to ask and that is what really counts.
May you be swiftly reminded with a kick in the patoot that when you complain, about anything, you are trying to give responsibility over to someone else…but really, it is your opportunity to find the bliss in the mess, always. Complaint is a choice – and not one worth making.
May you never forget that every single morning, you can make a difference. And sometimes, just by showing up, your world will expand and your universe will be impacted. You don’t want to miss out…so make today count!
Big Love,
xo
