First came across this term in this awesome twitter thread about attraction:
The norse concept is called ‘hamingja’, the power that radiates from people when they are aligned with their fate, their doom, their wyrd. It was said to be impossible to fake, it was the electricity of one who had found their true wyrd and was living it unashamedly.
From wikipedia:
Wyrd is a concept in Anglo-Saxon culture roughly corresponding to fate or personal destiny. The word is ancestral to Modern English weird, whose meaning has drifted towards an adjectival use with a more general sense of “supernatural” or “uncanny”, or simply “unexpected”.
So really, I'm using it as a synonym for "destiny", as "destiny" sounds way too lofty and ridiculous
I was very lucky to have had the home life I did:
- I’ve been given the gift of the opportunity to break the generational curse. I want to rise to heights unheard of, unfathomed. I want to pull my family out of the mud along with me. I want to be an amazing dad.
