We live, and we lie, and we fall, and we fly.
We win, and we lose.
So for now, let's all enjoy this view

We live, and we lie, and we fall, and we fly.
We win, and we lose.
So for now, let's all enjoy this view

Life can be so amazing
If we stop all the chasing
Good times are always waiting
So take a look around and you'll never see them wasted. Turn the other cheek, switch your angle. Get out of the loop that's got you tangled.
There's a sunset and a sunrise, so open your eyes

‘Don’t get stuck in the past, and don’t try

‘Don’t get stuck in the past, and don’t try to fast-forward yourself into a future you haven’t yet earned. Give today all the love, intensity, and courage you can’

I’m really looking forward to beers on the beach with friends, meeting new people, hugs, kisses, standing close to people rather than further away, dancing somewhere other than my apartment and last minute road trips. But until then I’ve promised myself I will try and find joy in what I have right here, right now ❤️🇵🇹

A few phrases that often pop up in my inbox....

‘You are so lucky to live in Portugal’

‘I wish I could have your lifestyle’

I love my life in Portugal but honestly, luck** doesn’t have anything to do with it.

I didn’t magically appear in Portugal and I wasn’t assigned this lifestyle by a higher authority. I chose both of those things and they haven’t come without changes and sacrifices.

I wasn’t living the life I wanted in the UK so I did whatever I needed to do to change that situation for myself. I quit my full-time job in Cornwall and set up Soi 55 so that I could work from anywhere. When things got tough financially, I started teaching too.

I am in no way pretending to have it all figured out. All I’ve done is follow my intuition (sometimes at my own peril😅). I’ve definitely had my share of struggles along the way but I like to think I have no regrets ❤️

Choosing this path hasn’t always been easy but ultimately it feels like the right thing for me and I’m happier for choosing it.

Here is the best thing.... If you’re not happy with something in your life then you have the power to change it. Whether it is through small, baby steps or one giant leap, if it’s something you really want then you can make it happen ❤️

There will be hard times and low points because big changes don’t come without without a fight, but if you are working towards something that will make you happier then it is worth it 100 times over.

Life is short. Switch jobs. Start the business you’ve always wanted. Move countries. Go back to University. Insert more here.

If Covid is currently squashing those dreams then start smaller. Make a vision board. Ask yourself tough questions. Read books. Take a course. Manifest.

If the last year has taught me anything it’s that there is only one person in control of your destiny and that is you.

**Luck : not to be confused with privilege. I realise that my nationality, race, education etc are part of my privilege. I know that this privilege gives me opportunities that others don’t have. I don’t take these for granted.

Has anyone else been thinking of making big changes this year? Tell me more!👇🏼

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control over what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t✨
