Stop Settling: It’s Time to Reignite Your Fire

Hey

When did you start settling for a life that’s just fine? When did your dreams and passions take a back seat to routines and responsibilities?

The truth is, you weren’t meant to just exist. You were meant to thrive. To feel alive. To wake up every day with excitement for what’s ahead.

Here’s how you can stop settling and start living:

1. Remember What Sets Your Soul on Fire. Close your eyes and think back to the last time you felt unstoppable. What were you doing? Whatever it was, it’s time to bring it back.

2. Take Action—No Excuses. Waiting for the “perfect time” is just another way of staying stuck. Start today, even if it’s messy. Passion is born in the doing.

3. Protect Your Fire. Stop giving your energy to people and things that drain you. Your time is precious—spend it on what fuels your soul.

 🥗 Bonus: 9 Minute Dinner

9-Minute Creamy Avocado Pasta

Ingredients (Serves 2):

• 6 ounces (170g) spaghetti or your favorite pasta (regular, whole wheat, or gluten-free)

• 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled

• 1 clove garlic

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Juice of 1 lime or lemon

• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (optional, or use nutritional yeast for vegan)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional: Cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, or arugula for topping

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta (4 mins):
   Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions (usually 4-6 minutes for quick-cooking varieties).

2. Make the sauce (3 mins):
   While the pasta cooks, blend avocado, garlic, olive oil, lime/lemon juice, Parmesan (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy.

3. Combine pasta and sauce (2 mins):
   Drain the pasta, reserving a small cup of pasta water. Toss the pasta with the avocado sauce, adding a splash of reserved pasta water for a silkier texture if needed.

4. Serve and garnish:
   Plate the pasta and top with cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, or arugula for extra flavor and color.

Why This Recipe Works:

• Quick & Simple: Minimal prep and cleanup with just one pot and a blender.

• Healthy & Creamy: Rich in healthy fats from avocado without heavy cream.

• Customizable: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or roasted veggies for extra protein and texture.
