Be Balanced

By Esmee Samara • 19th May 2020 • Reading time: 1 minute

Life. It’s all about finding and then keeping the right balance. Physically, mentally and spiritually.

It’s about knowing your core values and beliefs and remaining true to these. It’s about loving and taking care of your body, the only vessel by which you can explore and take care of this world, this planet, your home.

It’s about knowing that weaknesses can gift you with your greatest strengths, just as darkest nights can bring you the brightest of dawns.

It’s about loving, laughing, learning and letting go of what no longer serves you. Life is for living so live it well. Because no matter what you have been through, going through or yet to experience in yours, LIFE IS GOOD!
