What beautiful thing are you meant to create?
Question of the day:What beautiful thing are you meant to create?The quote from this episode:Beauty isn’t all about just nice loveliness, like. Beauty is about more rounded, substantial becoming. So I think beauty in that sense is about an emerging fullness, a greater sense of grace and elegance, a deeper sense of depth, and also a kind of homecoming for the enriched memory of your unfolding life. - John O DonohueThe book mentioned in this episode:https://g.co/kgs/jBB4JgThe podcast episode mentioned in this episode:https://onbeing.org/programs/john-odonohue-the-inner-landscape-of-beauty/__Ways to support the show:Leave a review on Apple Podcasts or SpotifyPre-order my latest bookDownload my app, StorytellerCheck out my Skillshare class (get one free month when you click this link)!**This link is an affiliate link, meaning that I earn a small commission when you sign up for the free month trial

9 things worth repeating to yourself every once in a while:
Thanks so much for listening! Here are the 9 phrases I shared in today’s episode - and I’ve also listed them below:9 things worth repeating to yourself every once in a while:1 - "I am allowed to practice taking more breaks...even if I don't feel like I 'deserve' them."2 - "Not fitting in with certain people doesn't mean I am less-than. There will be other places. I have not reached the end. There will be room for me...and new friends."3 - "It is not too late for me. My life will look different year by year. And I will continue to discover that life can be beautiful and meaningful at any age."4 - "Being different does not mean I must be lonely. I am worthy of belonging. I am allowed to desire community."5 - "I am allowing myself to grieve the times I've been misunderstood while also trusting that I am still worthy of being known."6 - "In the wild of changing things, I am still free to pause and breathe."7 - "It does not make me weak if I need more help, support, or time than I thought I would need."8 - "More than I am known for my accomplishments, I will be known for the way I love."9 - "I may have a long way to go, but I also know so much more than I knew ten years ago. I am allowed to acknowledge the progress I have already made while recognizing that I am still growing in beautiful, yet-to-be-realized ways."___Thanks for listening!-Morgan Harper Nichols___Ways to support the show:Leave a rating/review on Apple Podcasts or SpotifyPre-order my latest bookDownload my app, StorytellerCheck out my Skillshare class (get one free month when you click this link)!**This link is an affiliate link, meaning that I earn a small commission when you sign up for the free month trial
