Be Your Own Lighthouse. Guide Yourself Home.
Monday 15th January
Hello 👋
Amidst life's fog, we all need a beacon—a lighthouse—to guide us back to safe harbour.
Today's thought is a quiet reminder.
Be your own lighthouse. Guide yourself home.
Don’t be too reliant, on other people’s guidance.
You are your touchstone. You are your North Star.
Your accountability of yourself is worth more than 100 pieces of advice.
Here's how you can be your own lighthouse.
Trust Your Inner Compass
Listen to your intuition. Often, it whispers truths that the conscious mind overlooks. You are always heading towards something you want, or away from something you don’t.
You will be guided either way. But control it, and you control the way.
Shine Self-Love
Illuminate your path with self-care and self-compassion.
It's okay to not have all the answers as long as you keep moving towards what feels right.
Seek Your North Star
Identify your core values; your non-negotiables in life. Let them be the constants that guide you.
Stand Firm
Just as a lighthouse stands unshaken by the waves, stand firm in who you are. Your strength is the anchor through life's ebbs and flows. The temptation will always be there, but so will the reward, as long as you want it.
Radiate Outwards
Be the light for others, not by losing yourself, but by being an example of organisation and hope. Then, the right ones will follow you.
And that, is when co-creation gets fun.
Here’s our new little puzzle… Can you find the 15 January words?

And remember, 'home' is not just a place, but a state of being at peace with yourself.
To guide yourself home is to return to a place of balance, comfort, and acceptance within your soul.
Stay curious,
