Its never too late to find out why you were born

Let me introduce you Changemaker Naomi Edwards who I met earlier this year

Naomi is described perfectley below by fellow #legend Megan Rowlatt

Now this girl is a legend. Naomi is a leader, an innovator and social entrepreneur who is so passionate about conservation and the environment, and a real change agent on a national scale.

I have never met anyone with such infectious energy, zero ego, and an unrelenting love of the coast and dunes. Naomi is a breath of fresh air and an absolute star. 

Naomi also blogs and this post reblogged below in particular resonated with me. Its taken me a very long time to find out why I was born but I am so glad I finally got there

Falling in love – with my life

If you know me, know of me, or have some idea about who I am I want you to park all your judgements aside and read on with no expectations and assumptions. Because that is how I used to live my life, then I got caught up with expectations and assumptions, only to realise the impact this was having on my life. It’s like I have found my 10xmore excitement for life, and it’s genuine.

I was talking with a friend tonight about life and where I am at in life. I have this feeling I can’t explain other than falling in love, with my life. It’s bubbling. It’s exciting. I’ve been trying to figure out where this feeling has come from, is it for someone, something or some reason. But my friend said it perfectly tonight, your being true to yourself and your life. Yeah our mojo’s go and down and go the long way round sometimes. But right now, I feel raw, real and genuinely present to who I am and for the world.

Someone who is genuinely 10xmore excited and it’s real. I am not putting on a happy face, my face is happy. I am genuinely present, patient and listening from the silences I hadn’t listened from before. I am learning, a lot, and seeing myself differently and accepting that I haven’t got it all, got it all together, or got it right or get it right.

My access to this state of being has been being truthful, true to myself.

Truth gives power and I have discovered it, as Michel Foucault, a french philosopher, work unveils.

“Truth is an event which takes place in history. It is something that ‘happens’, and is produced by various techniques (the ‘technology’ of truth) rather than something that already exists and is simply waiting to be discovered”  – Michel Foucault.

I have invited myself to discover my truth and what I see is love for my life and every part of it.

I invite you to discover your truth.
