What is “ALL”?

I heard this question today and it really sent me deep into thought. I’m sure I am not the only person who fears “losing it all”. This time last year, I was living a whirlwind of emotions being almost rock bottom emotionally and financially. I stopped fighting against the current and allowed faith in myself and my actions, to get me through it. Fast forward a year, and I am in a completely different place. Not only have I attained more internal strength, I also climbed up the financial ladder. Of course I have many more steps until I make it to the top, but I am in a place where I feel comfortable and secure. So with that said, a new fear has creeped up.. “what if I lose it all?”. I have brought up this question in therapy, in coaching calls, to my husband, to myself often, etc… Well, today while attending a coaching call with Antonina (lifewellmade on IG), she made me realize that no amount of material can make me enjoy the things that really make me happy, such as reading, writing, and nature. Whether I am in a big house or a little house.. whether I am the owning of a large successful business or a small failing business.. I still enjoy THOSE things. So why do we put this large elaborate picture around the things that make us happy? Yes I want a big house, yes I want a large successful business, but enjoying my “all” now is what life is about.

Today I learned that although losing all material possessions would hurt, it wouldn’t mean I lost it “all”. My family, my friends, my dogs, my love of reading and writing, the ability to see and witness beautiful sceneries while enjoying nature… that is my ALL.

What is your ALL?
