“Life is happening right now — in real time” says coach, Jewel Love. Take advantage of what today has to offer. Don’t waste this moment — make it happen.
I spoke to Jewel recently on FB Live.
We discussed many things: healing, the importance of maintaining a daily spiritual practice, and not being afraid to ask for help when you really need it.
And travel — which is so important to the soul, says Jewel.
You don’t have to travel internationally, he points out. Even travelling locally can help keep your mind and spirit fresh, says Jewel. Try visiting a new museum, take a different route on your way home; the opportunities to experience something new are endless.
I especially loved what Jewel says about living life now.
“It’s lifestyle and a choice,” says Jewel. “And it’s possible for all of us.”
Of course, mystics and philosophers have been talking about living life today for centuries.
But what makes Jewel’s message so compelling is the fact that he actually tries to live this way. Because he’s self-employed and can work remotely, he’s been traveling and living in different Latin American countries for the past two years.
Jewel wasn’t always traveling the world on the scale he is now.
I remember sitting in his tiny apartment in Oakland several years ago, sharing a meal and our visions for the future.
At the time, Jewel was still training as a therapist, and I was working on my book, Meditations Across the King’s River: African-inspired Wisdom for Life’s Journey. We’ve both come a long way since those days.
You can go far too. Don’t give up on your visions for the future.
As you reflect on living your best life, think about what this means for you. What do you need to start doing? What do you need to stop doing? What support you need to maximize 2023?
This is all for now.
I would love to hear your thoughts. I will respond once I hear from you. Here’s the link to my talk with Jewel once again, Live Your Best Life. Check it out!
Talk soon and stay blessed.
