The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.’ Marcus Aurelius

In a longstanding relationship, we may know what we mean to the other person—but it still helps to say it. I recently went to dinner with a friend who was going through a rough time at work. We relaxed and chatted over wine and steaks, and as we said goodbye, she thanked me for my years of friendship and said she always appreciated my positive and can-do spirit. Even though my goal was to cheer her up, I ended up being the one who felt cherished.
That’s something you can do for your romantic partner. Dig deeper than giving general compliments that center on adjectives, such as “you’re beautiful” or “you’re so brilliant.” Instead, look for the verbs in your relationship, and get as specific as possible with both the person’s actions and the impact it had on you. For example: “When you unloaded the dishwasher and cleaned the kitchen on Wednesday night, it made me feel loved and relieved that I didn’t have to do my chores during a busy work week.” Or even better, “It was an unexpected bright spot in my week that you found discount tickets to a dance performance. It broke me out of a gloomy week and helped me see beauty in the world.”
Be age appropriate. We are no longer kids, teenagers – carefree and young. We are no longer early twenty-year-olds – partying. I am not saying don’t enjoy life,enjoy life, but don’t be stuck in being young, gracefully step into the beauty of your next chapter. – Bella

I do not want to be remembered as
a woman who was always exhausted.
I do not want to be remembered as
a woman who was always stressed,
always busy, always rushing, always
holding herself together and pushing
through. I would like to be remembered
as a relaxed woman, a compassionate
woman, a curious, joyful, pleasure
loving woman. A woman who works
hard and rests deeply, who loves
fiercely and lives peacefully. A woman
who knows her worth and her power,
who accepts her imperfections and
her vulnerabilities, who embraces
her limitations and her possibilities.
A woman who laughs and cries and
aches and loves and is enchanted by the
mess and magic and mundaneness of
is beautiful, shimmering life.”
— Nicola Jane Hobb
Taking the lead is never easy. Sometimes it’s a choice or even a pursuit. Often, though, it’s a position or responsibility that has been thrown upon people as a product of particular time or circumstance or because of who they are and what they do represent. To be at the Vanguard of the field, of a movement, of a moment is well much more than leadership in the traditional sense. Is it about the way we certain individuals live or embody something we have never seen before. It’s about the willingness to be the first and venture into the unchartered waters of the unknown. It’s about their conviction, tenacity in the face of backlash or resistance and their drive and determination to break boundaries and create new parody and possibilities. It’s about resilience and resolve, vision, and ambition, but perhaps crucially it’s about the way they inspire us to embrace who we are and everything we have to offer to take the lead ourselves. The people who are truly at the forefront of those who pushed the culture For really do it alone. They all bring all of us along with them.
