I used to think...

www.pkdiaries.com

I used to think that liberating myself from generational suffering meant that I should go out there and be someone. So I did it.

I used to think that paying my respects to my mum, nanna, grandmother meant that I would be so independent and successful financially that I’d never have to rely on a man. So I did it.

I used to think that honouring what they went through for me, meant really making something big of my life, something extraordinary. So I did it.

What my mum and grandmother didn’t have the opportunity to do, was to soften into motherhood with the full support of a man. So I’m doing it.

It is unfamiliar and uncomfortable and also… the greatest opportunity of my life.

More so than the time I was asked to be in a documentary with Tony Robbins.
More so than the time I was featured in Inc Magazine top 10 Women changing the world.
More so than being a best seller.
More so than becoming anything noteworthy.

More.
Way more.

Love PK. X

Is it uncomfortable because you find it hard to do, you think it is hard to do, or you feel guilty about not being in the struggle too?
