This is it ~ AO
More than a decade ago, I had the opportunity to fulfill a family dream of mine.
I had achieved my dream of creating a quiet and peaceful home in a small university town in the US. However, having grown up in a city myself, I also wanted to give my boys the experience of city living.
As life would have it, we found ourselves living in the middle of downtown Shanghai, in her bustling financial district of Lujiazui for 2 years.
At that time, as part of my email signoff, I had these three simple words:
“This is it! ~AO”
In the midst of overwhelm and overload, I needed to something to anchor me.
What I really needed was to stay in the moment, to seize what was right in front of me.
What I landed on were these three simple words: This is it!
Value the person right in front of me. See some kind of possibility in an impossible situation.
When was the last time you felt truly heard ?
When was the last time someone asked you questions to help you live well and deep?
You could be successful in your professional endeavors or embarking on new chapters, goals, and dreams, but it is still crucial to pause and reflect on things that matter to you.
What if right now is all you are going to get? How are you going to seize this moment?
Your story matters, and through its telling, you can uncover many beautiful aspects of your life that are gems you may not even be aware are worth sharing.
Every moment, every experience, carries its own weight and significance.
“This is it!” ~ AO
The exercise of sharing and reflecting on your life story offers a chance to honor and appreciate the intricate tapestry that has woven together the fabric of your being.
I’ve been writing and re-writing my life story over the past few years. Raising my children, re-entering the workforce, building a creative business–these are my latest chapters.
As you embark on this journey, you may find it challenging. It requires courage, introspection, and a willingness to confront both the triumphs and the trials that have shaped you.
