Narah Valenska Smith Blog - 46 Happy Birthday - October 20th, 2017

46!

I am 46 today, Friday, October 20, 2017… and I couldn’t be happier to be at this point of my life. As I told my sons as I drove them home to their Dad’s last night after soccer practice, I’m on the second half of my 40s, on my way to 50, and I am SO glad, boys! 

I truly, truly am.

Although I am not yet where I feel I am meant to be in general in my life, I do know I’m not only in the right place but also headed in the right direction at this time of my life. About nine years ago, I couldn’t say that. I knew then that I was at the right place in my life for that time. However, I also knew I was not headed in the right direction even if I could only faintly feel that way deep down inside. It was a such a constant feeling, that I knew I could no longer ignore it. Ultimately, it is that feeling that prompted what I refer to as the change.

Change is the act of making or becoming different. However, for me, in the context of my life, I would say change was not the act of becoming different but of becoming my real self. Who was I before the change? I was the same loving, positive person I am today… but I was also, above all, afraid. I was afraid to be ME; to be this person who was born to write and speak and help others be free. I was afraid of letting go of who I was on the surface to be who I really am underneath.

Being oneself takes a leap of faith. You have to believe you will become who you know you are deep down inside. If you do not believe, you will not leap. In fact, if you do not connect to your heart and remember who that little girl or boy is inside, you will not only not believe, you will never recover them to ascend to where you were meant to go.

46

So, 46. 46 years on this planet! I am SO happy about that! Honestly, being here to tell you all this and to encourage you is beyond a thrill. It is the great joy of my life to get to say: come along, you must, you can do it too, do not be afraid!

For all the times that I have struggled with saying what it is I actually do, that is it. I encourage, inspire and help people to become their true selves. I think that is Life 101 and that nothing else really matters much.

Become who you are. You were born for this!

All my love to you always,
