Pausing and taking a breath is how you take what you know and turn it into what you do, and eventually, into who you are.

Love someone enough to allow them their mistakes. That’s the practice.
Learn to love yourself the same way, that’s the ballgame. You got this hun.

Nothing matters more than how you show up for yourself today. I love you, you got this, keep going. xoxo

How terribly dull, to be the best. One in a line, between the prior and the next. Mine your depths to discover what makes you you. Bring your full self to bear and trust your beating heart. Don’t be the best, be the only.

Learning from past mistakes is good.
Using past mistakes to convince yourself you don’t deserve the life you want is not. Start by recognizing that self-punishment. And then breathe.

You’ve already won.
Whatever it was, whatever they did, however grotesque the offense, you are still here and you’ve got choices. You win. Go from there.

When the spoils of my work arrive, how will I accept them if I’m only worthy when I’m grinding? How do I make my nervous system into a welcoming place for what I say I want?

You are one of one. We all are. But if we never step out of the momentum of the external world and look inward at who that one *really is*, it doesn’t matter, does it?
