Having lunch with a group of friends recently, we all went through the menu, and after some intense deliberating over what to choose the waitress took our orders. At the time we were all happy with our selections, yet it was not a minute after she’d left that three of the six people present started second guessing their choice. “Perhaps I should have gone with the chicken”; “I think the fish might be nicer”; “Perhaps I should have the Caesar salad – that’s always good.”
This got me thinking that behaviour like this is not just restricted to restaurants and that our lack of conviction when ordering food is merely a watered down version of what many of us do in life.
We second guess our decisions, questioning whether there is something better out there, or that we should have done something differently, convincing ourselves that we have made the wrong decision or done the wrong thing.
This is how we create mental chaos, wasting time and valuable energy. Of course there will always be options in life, but just because you didn’t chose something, does not mean that what you chose (or did) was wrong.
BE BEAUTIFUL BE FREE

My Definition of REAL BEAUTY is…
B alance in life unfolds from the inside out
E nthusiasm lies within the way you think and feel about yourself and life
A cceptance is the path to making peace with yourself and others
U nderstanding who we are gives us clarity and wisdom
T rust attunes your heart and mind to know what you want
Y ou possess BEAUTY and all that it takes to create the life and love you deserve
‘Beauty is about feeling more, healing more, living more and loving more’
