Day 13: Live out LOUD!

So today is the almost half way mark of this Poonam's Advent Calendar of Positivity journey 😎 It was a simple, small, crazy idea that I came up with on a Sunday afternoon, and then decided that I just wanted to do it! I wanted to create a bit of positivity in these trying times, and wanted to SHARE and do what I love doing... write, communicate and use my voice as a platform and change agent... So after the spark of the aha moment, I sat myself down, planned a bit, sat myself in front of my computer for 2 hours - and this is the result!

It's been hard.. the last almost two weeks have seen me go through some personal challenges, really tough days and just moments where I didn't know what to do next and just utterly exhausted from the year that was... but despite it all, even only posting yesterday's entry at 11pm last night, I have managed to get a daily post done, and shared what I could when I can to the best of my ability!

So today is my LIVE LOUD moment! Following from yesterday's theme of celebrations, I invite YOU to join me in living out loud!!! Today I live out loud for going out on a whim, trusting my crazy gut and intuition and just doing it... something I've been wanting to do for a really long time!

For many, this is the last Friday of the year of the working year... for some, we still have a few more days ahead... and for even others, they don't have the blessing of having work or a career during these trying times. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, I ask you to take a moment and ask yourself, "what is ONE thing... or many things, that I'm really PROUD of myself for accomplishing this year?" What is your LIVE LOUD moment? Please share and let us celebrate and be proud with and for you... To me - THIS is what life is about - sharing our victories and defeats, our losses and gains, our happiness and sadness..

SO your reminder for today is:

So don't get me wrong - I'm not saying we have to be arrogant and brag and put ourselves completely out there to the point of narcissism, but own your wins... and even the losses. I know it sounds cliched, but it's truly in my darkest and toughest times that I've learnt, matured and gained the most insight into who I am and what I truly want in my life!

So today, take a moment to remember this - We are here to LIVE OUT LOUD! Share it externally, or just even celebrate or acknowledge it internally in your life. 

Thank you truly to each and every one of your that have take the time to read, share, like and comment on my posts. Today I live out loud for ALL of you too... and for anyone out there that has a dream that they hope that they can live out loud  one day soon!

p.s. and for those of you that still feel that you haven't lived louder enough... you still officially have 21 days before the end of the year! Go do something AWESOME!

Much love always, and for the love of wisdom, Poonam
