Have you ever paused to consider that the secret to “having it all” might be simpler than we imagine? We spend so much of our lives in pursuit—of success, of happiness, of that elusive sense of fulfillment. But what if “having it all” isn’t about gathering more or reaching further? What if it’s about realizing that you already do?
Lately, I’ve been meditating on this thought: The secret to having it all is knowing that you already do.
This doesn’t mean settling for less or giving up on our dreams. Quite the opposite, actually. It means looking around with a clear, grateful heart and recognizing the abundance already present. It’s the little things—those moments of laughter, the quiet peace of a morning with your coffee, the way the sun dances through the leaves. When we can see life through this lens, everything shifts. We stop chasing what’s next and start loving what’s now.
But, as we embrace this mindset, another truth emerges: while we may already have it all, sometimes it’s buried beneath layers of “too much.” Too much clutter, too many distractions, too many obligations that don’t align with who we truly are. This is where we can learn from the great Michelangelo.
He didn’t create his masterpieces by adding more. He revealed them by chiseling away what didn’t belong. Just as he removed excess marble to unveil David, we can edit our lives, removing anything that doesn’t serve us or resonate with the vision of the life we want to live.
Imagine your life as a sculpture. What’s essential? What makes you come alive? And what’s weighing you down, holding you back, or just simply doesn’t fit anymore?
When you start to peel away those layers, you’ll notice that what remains is your masterpiece—a life of true beauty and fulfillment. A life where you see, clearly, that you already have it all. It’s just waiting to be revealed.
As a Wild Awake Woman, I invite you to step into this mindset, to let go of the excess and embrace the masterpiece that is your life. Let’s sculpt our way to deeper joy and clarity, knowing that everything we need is already within us.
What’s the first thing you’ll chisel away today? Let’s support each other as we reveal our inner masterpieces. Feel free to share your thoughts—I’d love to hear from you.
