Relax and allow your self to take notice.

Sometimes, we feel like we don’t have the capacity to deal with the chaos of life. Sometimes, there is no way to prepare for its shocks and blows. But if we’re perpetually running away from the things that feel too hard to face, we’re defining ourselves by what we are seeking to avoid.

Wake up to the realization that you being in discomfort and grief about your struggling is just adding another layer to your pain. Do not let yourself be weighed down and torn apart by the waves, but be the water. Accept every challenge, embrace every obstacle, take away the power of sadness by welcoming it. In a society which pushes you to always be performing, managing, “doing okay” and rushing - slowing down, taking a deep breath and caring for yourself is the most radical and valuable act.

Let every emotion flow through you without holding on to it - don’t be attached, don’t judge, don’t regret. Give the darkness space so you can light it up. 

See that you are capable of navigating through the maze this reality presents to us. Believe that you are the master of your own path. You are the only one that lifts yourself up or lets yourself down. In every moment, you decide where you put your attention and energy, where you go and where you arrive. You are exactly where you need to be. 

You are on your way.
