What Gives You the Right to Talk of Such Things?: Findings, Insights and Realizations

By Flo SJourney

It is about facing your fears.
It is about believing in yourself.
It is about following those 'I cannot explain' feelings.
It is about chasing your dreams and it is about daring, attempting and trying.
It is about learning from failures and from mistakes.
It is about acceptance and forgiveness.
It is about putting yourself out there.
It is about listening to your inner voice and it is about listening to everyone, being opened and following your heart.
It is about learning new things and improving continuously.
It is about the journey and not the arriving.
It is about life and it is about those 'coincidences' those 'mmm, that's a sign!'.
It is about the awe of wild things, the whispers in the trees, the songs of birds, the 'silence' in the mountains, the calling in the waves, and about the sound of your steps in magical forests.
It is about what you cannot explain, but you feel when you look at the starry sky.

It is about our path until this moment.
It is about how life works when you look back at your life.
It is about perspective. It is about faith and it is about hope, strength, gratitude, willingness and putting in the work.
It is about decisions, choices and interpretations.
It is about the most precious currency, time.
It is about the beauty of discovering for yourself, remaining curious and inquisitive.
It is about work, hard work and focused work.
It is about passion, discipline, commitment, habits and dedication.
It is about adjusting along the way, it is about taking care of yourself, body, mind, heart and soul, and it is about helping others with what you can.
It is about staying on your path.
It is about letting go, trusting and patience.
It is about health, healthy habits and healthy lifestyles.
It is about overcoming and the power of one moment, one day.

It is about the power of words and it is about the power of our imagination and creativity.
It is about asking yourself, and life what's your purpose.
It is about wondering and wandering whilst chasing that 'what if'.
It is about being lost and it is about the purpose in striving.
It is about people, all of us, what do we really want, and imagining what we can do and accomplish when we work together.
It is about transparency and intentions.

I feel like when we're going through a kind of inquiry like this will actually lead us to a better understanding of ourselves, and in this way we can make better decisions. For ourselves, for the ones we love, for the ones around us.
It is like the gift we'll give back to life itself for the present of being here.

At the least, for me, it is a cause living for it.

Flo Call me Flo, just Flo. It’s more than enough. Flo is part of my full name and Flo is how my colleagues, friends and my extended family call me. I live and work in the UK, in Health and Social Care as a registered, qualified Senior Carer and the only reason I mention what I am blessed to do is because of what I’ve learned, found and realized since my journey as a Carer started a few years ago. And this is what you will find in these upcoming pages. This book is out of a compelling thought determined to reach out to you. It is also out of gratitude. It didn't seem to matter to this compelling thought though, that English is not my first language, you most likely figure it out by now, nor it didn’t seem to matter whatever excuses I was looking for to not go through this. Writing a book is by no means a small thing. Only this compelling thought grew in strength and signs were showing up more and more each day to reinforce this need of sharing what I’ve learned with the world. The possibility of helping someone is there, so here we are. The more I was thinking about it the more I could see that my predicament, English not being my first language, was actually in alignment with the content of this book. To create something new with what you currently have. To be driven by a future and not by a past, not even by the present circumstances. To push through especially when you don’t have all the necessary tools, or when you don’t even meet the necessary requirements to do so. To follow that compelling thought that scares you the most. That what if. As you will see, it does take daily work and consistency in the midst of chaos, believing in oneself first and sometimes it takes something for someone to say to spark that in another. At the least is a cause worth striving for it, living for it and I would like to be that cause to rekindle the same in someone else as others have done for me. It is also how I honor the life in me. There is not only one thing that it takes to find what you're looking for, for every little thing in life is complementary to another. I am grateful to have arrived where I am now in my life, so here is my journey so far and what lead me to this moment.

Call me Flo, just Flo. It’s more than enough.

Flo is part of my full name and Flo is how my colleagues, friends and my extended family call me.

I live and work in the UK, in Health and Social Care as a registered, qualified Senior Carer and the only reason I mention what I am blessed to do is because of what I’ve learned, found and realized since my journey as a Carer started a few years ago.

And this is what you will find in these upcoming pages.

The beginning of this journey of mine was a fresh start for me, a second chance from life if you will and the circumstances of how that came to be only made me go on this quest of wanting to learn more to further my understanding so I can make sense of what I was experiencing and feeling.

All I knew is I couldn’t take anything for granted anymore. I’m still learning, yet whatever findings I came across so far, and whatever insights and realizations I gained as a result of that, they weaved into this book.

This book is out of a compelling thought determined to reach out to you. It is also out of gratitude.

It didn’t seem to matter to this compelling thought though, that English is not my first language, you most likely figure it out by now, nor it didn’t seem to matter whatever excuses I was looking for to not go through this. Writing a book is by no means a small thing. Only this compelling thought grew in strength and signs were showing up more and more each day to reinforce this need of sharing what I’ve learned with the world.

The possibility of helping someone is there, so here we are.

My intention is in fact an invitation to those who feel stuck in life, or don’t know how to start to get unstuck. The invitation is to start finding out what’s possible no matter where one finds himself / herself right now in this moment in time. A bold statement, but another possibility is there. That, what if?

I should start also by giving you a heads up, well, a few of them.

This book is written in the exact way I currently speak: with an accent.

The form of this book is not in the form of what one might expect as a normal book as I haven’t written any books before. Over the years, I just wrote and wrote until only recently it came into this form.

It offers authenticity, true, but this was not the intention though. I mean, when I decided to write this book there were no doubts in my mind regarding having the text revised and edited, but also some phrases rephrased so that, you, the reader can remain not only engaged but also to understand and properly absorb its content. Because, I dare say that the findings in the upcoming pages can help one live a life in purpose and it can help one to create a life of meaning and fulfillment.

The work is yours to do and the credit is yours to claim.

A really daunting task to take on indeed, and as life will have it I decided to offer it to you in this honest, raw way. The more I was thinking about it the more I could see that my predicament was actually in alignment with the content of this book.

To create something new with what you currently have.

To be driven by a future and not by a past, not even by the present circumstances.

To push through especially when you don’t have all the necessary tools, or when you don’t even meet the necessary requirements to do so.

To follow that compelling thought that scares you the most. That what if.

Everything I’m sharing in this book is what is helping me still, because my journey is not over yet.

In fact, I have so much more to learn and to improve that it feels like I’m always at the beginning.

Through my perspective offered in this book I intend to contribute in making obvious things fashionable once more. The patience is a virtue, sleep on it, the love is all we need, or do good and good will come to you, put in the time, or lead by example kind of obvious things, but also honesty, believe in yourself, dream big and chase after your dreams, pursue truth, follow your heart, build and promote trust and transparency, help one another, have faith in life, all of that plus much more while continuing to keep working on myself still. Why?

I found that this is how life works and why working on myself still, is because change and transformation does not happen overnight. As you will see, it does take daily work and consistency in the midst of chaos, believing in oneself first and sometimes it takes something for someone to say to spark that in another.

At the least is a cause worth striving for it, living for it and I would like to be that cause to rekindle the same in someone else as others have done for me. It is also how I honor the life in me.

As I searched and looked I realized I didn’t had to travel far to find what I was looking for. In my mistakes, insecurities, doubts, failures, betrayals and fears I found my teachers. It is where I also found courage, strength, passion, love and all of a sudden I could understand better and better my desires and intentions, therefore I could make better decisions.

There is not only one thing that it takes to find what you’re looking for, for every little thing in life is complementary to another.

I am grateful to have arrived where I am now in my life, so
