Bloom wherever you are planted

Give yourself permisson to bloom

​“As my desire to bloom arrived, I flourished. No longer fearing the journey it takes to truly open and unfold. Deeply I breathe in as my breath is taken away.
​I found my voice, yet even as it lay dormant in the quiet. As I stumbled in the sometimes darkness and fell, standing back up brushing off the bruises I knew I had found my way”
- Anais Nin

You know you're here to bloom, right?
For many expats, repats, migrants and global nomads this journey in which you explore and grow into who you truly are, is beautiful and crooked.


​You cannot always choose the cards you have been dealt, but you can learn how to play them. Just like a flower growing through a crack in concrete, sometimes you have to make the best out of the situation and bloom wherever you were planted.
Putting yourself into situations that will trigger exploration and development can be just the nutrition you need to bloom. Connecting personal growth, personal development, self-actualization to your expatriate and repatriation experience wil help you to truly bloom.
Realising that you are not limited to your culture or society, you are not limited by your up-bringing, neither are you limited by age, intelligence or resources, the only thing that will ever limit you is your inability to allow inner growth and change to take place. Letting go of identification with old identities which are no longer congruent with the new realities you wish to experience is a very empowering act.

Allow yourself to bloom

Maybe you are not where you want to be in life just yet. You maybe living in a country where it is hard for you to realise your dream or you might be working a day job that is not your passion and working on your dream through the night.
Never give up on your dreams!
How to deal with the fact that sometimes we may have to endure something that we do not like to eventually get to where we want to be?
Not everyone can just quit their jobs and follow their dream. Not everyone can move to the next country to get their dreams materialised.
Sometimes what you really need is patience and trust, lots of it.
So instead of getting bitter and frustrated at your situation, why not try blooming where you have been planted?
Every day can be an exercise in becoming the best version of yourself so you can bloom
Learn to bloom where you are planted. Even if you find yourself planted under concrete at the moment, look for the crack in the concrete to find your way out.

You may be in a situation where other people are not doing their best. Instead of expecting others to change, learn to change yourself. Don't let small things get to you. Like the eye at the center of a tornado, keep your tranquility even when the world around you is swirling.
If other people are late, you still arrive on time. If others have given up, you continue to persevere.
Surrender yourself to change and growth so it doens't feel like a constant battle about how you used to think about yourself and who you are becoming. You can simply allow yourself to bloom by bringing in a deep awareness to patterns in you that no longer feel congruent to who you’ve become or who you want to become. Awareness automatically implies that there is a level of “dis-identification” now, and this brings in the space for a new intelligence to work and for a new blooming to accure.
