Transcript

We often get caught up in the chase,

Pushing for that next goal,

The next milestone,

Always reaching for more.

And while there's power in growth,

In striving to become the best version of ourselves,

There's also a subtle trap,

The unconscious belief that our life isn't worth anything,

Unless we achieve.

But here's the truth.

No practice,

No technique,

No grand vision of who you're becoming should ever matter more than this simple question,

How do I feel right now?

Because it's not about what you do,

It's about how you feel about what you do while you're doing it.

If you feel at peace,

If you feel connected,

If you feel awake,

There's nothing left to worry about,

Nothing more to crave,

No next step,

No higher rung to climb.

The feeling is the arrival.

And if you don't feel that way yet,

That's perfect too.

All that means,

It's an invitation to pause,

To step back,

To let go.

There is no rush,

No race,

No finish line waiting for you.

The pressure we place on ourselves is an illusion,

Because there is nothing more important,

Nothing more urgent than to simply be here now.

Life is always unfolding exactly as it should,

The world keeps spinning,

And even when it feels like it's the end of the world,

Remember,

The end of the world is only the end of the world.

All is well,

And you are exactly where you need to be.

You got this.
