Life pushes us constantly, as we push up against the unknown, the uncertainties, the struggles, and the challenges. We get to choose how we deal with it, how we move through it, and how we react to it. When there is resistance, we can let the resistance take us over and cause us to stop, or we can push onwards and continue to take steps. I say, taking the steps is the way to go.

We must keep going. We will fall but we must give life everything we have to get up and push on. Life will punch us left and right and we must endure. Early on, we will take the punches repeatedly. We will bruise. We will hurt. But don’t you realize how much strength we have inside of ourselves? Don’t you realize our potential? If not yet, know you are in it. You are creating. You are becoming.

This is the process. This is what we must discover. Reveal your potential. Feel your personal power growing. Let your heart expand as it wants to. It is energy, cultivate this beautiful energy inside of you.

So much strength. With courage, we go forward into the darkness. You may not see a thing and that is okay. Trust that it is going to be okay. Let go of the fear, and finally, we can be free. Finally, we can just let it all go, after clinging on for dear life. It’s okay to lose your mind, as we go into the heart. Step by step, we go forward, we explore, we discover, and the world opens and reveals herself. To be human, what a life, what a miracle, we are a part of it. The hurt, the pain, the sadness, and with gratitude love fills our hearts.

Let us give our thanks for love, as it is what carries us forward and allows us to feel hope and see the beauty of and in everything. Thank you!
