TFR: The Beauty We Miss When We Don’t Allow Ourselves to Love

When was the last time you paused and truly saw the beauty around you?

Not just the obvious beauty that catches our attention but the subtle, hidden kind—the kind that reveals itself when we look at the world with love.

During the release party for my book Rabbitface, I spoke about how anything viewed with love becomes beautiful. The more love you have for the world, the more beauty you find in it.

But this raises an interesting question: is a lack of love what hides beauty from us?

Do we fail to see the beauty in strangers or even in those who intimidate us because we approach them with fear rather than love? And perhaps, more importantly, do we fail to see our own beauty because we don’t allow ourselves the love we deserve?

So often, we’re taught not to focus on self-love, or even worse, to avoid it altogether. Many of us are conditioned to think that loving ourselves is wrong or selfish. But when we don't allow ourselves to love—whether it’s ourselves or others—it becomes harder to see the beauty that surrounds us.

I invite you to watch my brief video (in Swedish with English subtitles) on this topic and share your thoughts. 

How to Create and Prioritise Your Lifetime Goals Beyond Daily To-Dos

Are you great at checking off daily tasks but struggle to make progress on your larger life goals?

In this video, I explore how to manage your time and life more effectively, drawing from Alan Lakein’s powerful approach to writing a Lifetime Goals Statement and my books on time management, Beyond Efficiency and Visst har du tid.

Lakein’s method helps you clarify what you truly want by asking three key questions:

1. What are my lifetime goals from where I stand today?

2. How do I want to spend the next three years?

3. If I knew I had just six months to live, what would I focus on?

Answering these questions can help you identify your priorities, organise your tasks, and ensure you're taking daily steps towards your bigger visions.

In the video, I also share practical tips on how to integrate these goals into your weekly schedule and overcome the distractions that often derail us from what truly matters.


I’ll be hosting a free webinar in early 2025 where I’ll guide you through the process of creating your own Lifetime Goals Statement. To stay updated and receive an invitation, sign up for my newsletter!
