Aurora James on creating a Life That is Your Own
A Life That Is Your Own // Founder Aurora James
Aurora has a mindful message if you have the time…
- December 25, 2020
“I am sitting here this evening thinking about us and the 9 lives we are all living. I’m in LA a few blocks way from the first hotel I stayed at a decade ago when I came here to visit a friend - and stayed.
Since that day I have only made it back home to Canada 5 times. The life I am living is unplanned. I made a great many plans for my life and almost all of those plans have been shattered.
And what a blessing. Because this life, the one I am currently playing out, is so so so much more beautiful than anything I could have dreamt up. Don’t be mad about spoiled plans, spilt milk, unsung dreams or ones that got away.
Those things left you because you were too great for them to contain you. So, as I sit here in a house I never would have dreamt I would have been able to afford to buy, just know that everyday is an opportunity to be thankful for where you are at and to dream and call into fruition a life that is great.
A life that is your own. You are nobody’s co-star. You are the heroine of your own epic journey. And no movie worth watching follows a linear plot.
I could never have predicted the year that we just had but I am going to predict our next one - it will be hard, it will sting, it will be honest.
But we will build from that place together. Make our own house, our own round table with countless seats and while the journey will be long we will have some incredible lights to light the way. .”
