Taking Your Courageous Next Step – Staying Close to the Way You Were Made

"To be courageous is to stay close to the way we were made." – David Whyte

I love this line of poetry. It beautifully captures why I am so passionate about working with people who want to live courageously and follow their own path.

"Staying close to the way we were made" feels like an invitation—a call to bring more of our true, talented, creative, and heart-centred selves into the world. It’s not about striving to be someone different, but rather about unravelling and peeling back the layers to uncover who we already are at our core.

This process invites us to embrace our strengths and talents, but also our vulnerabilities and imperfections. Yet, many of us have been conditioned by education, culture, and society to suppress our authenticity—to conform, to stay quiet, to be the “good girl” or “good boy,” and to avoid rocking the boat.

Now, more than ever, as old structures continue to erode, we are being called to remember who we truly are and to honour that version of ourselves. After all, what else is of real value—to ourselves or to anyone else?

How Do We Stay Close to the Way We Were Made?

Here are a few ways we can reconnect with our true essence:

❤️ Stay Close to Your Heart – Listen to what truly matters to you. Your passions, values, and desires are not random; they are part of your unique blueprint.

🏡 Support Yourself & Your Loved Ones in Being Authentic – Acknowledge that we are all different, and that’s what makes life so rich and interesting.

🌍 Embrace Diversity – Recognise that everyone comes from their own cultural, social, and personal backgrounds. Each perspective adds value.

🤝 Respect Each Other’s Differences – True connection comes from understanding and appreciation, rather than trying to make everyone the same.

🎭 Celebrate Unique Talents & Strengths – Imagine how dull the world would be if we all had the same skills and interests! Our differences fuel creativity and innovation.
