You are enough.
Take a deep inhale as you settle in and a deeper exhale.
Getting into a comfortable position,
Begin to close your eyes as you reconnect with your breath,
Feeling the effortless subtlety of air filling your chest,
Allowing this frictionless transaction of nourishment into your body.
Often we catch ourselves in pursuits of achieving a goal that we've envisioned right for us,
Manifested from ideas we've gathered to be a part of our personality,
Manifested from influential authorities in our lives,
Social expectations and advertisements,
Life events that lead us to create pursuits,
Heroic characters,
Idols,
Or symbols.
It's truly a beautiful thing when we're actively working towards our dreams,
Curating some type of path to get us where we envision ourselves,
Filled and having embodiment of a conqueror.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to be the best wife,
Husband,
Mother,
Daughter,
Leader,
Worker,
Entrepreneur,
Member of society,
Transmuting your genuine love and care for others.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to dress your perfect body with adornments and colors that match your skin tone best,
Getting that car and beachfront property.
There is nothing wrong with achieving that title you wanted.
There is nothing wrong with achieving anything because you deserve it.
You are deserving of it.
Take a deep inhale.
It's when we forget the vessel that we inhabit,
The mind that operates behind the scenes.
It's when we forget the spirit that feeds the whole entirety of our existence.
It's when we forget these vital aspects of ourselves in the meaning of our pursuits.
This is when we forget we are enough,
When each day becomes a race of how much we've done,
A game of how much we can handle,
Checking off the list that keeps on growing,
Sometimes ending our day exhausted physically in pain and our senses overused.
Thinking this pain is the rightful result of the productiveness we've output,
Drained out of the well that's been overused and no longer holding clear water.
Often this measurement gives us the rite of passage to holding meaning.
This is when we forget we are enough.
It's when we become a byproduct of someone else in pursuit of fitting the picture they drew of us,
Forgetting ourselves.
It's when we don't fit the picture we drew for ourselves,
Fulfilling the expectations set upon ourselves by only ourselves.
It's when we fall into the trap of not feeling enough because we believe deeply we're not capable of being celebrated,
Of being cherished and adored.
I'm here to remind you that no matter who you are,
The value of you simply existing is merely enough.
Each and every human being is deserving of happiness,
Joy and love.
It is our birthright.
I repeat that again.
You are deserving of happiness,
Joy and love.
There are no what ifs,
No what if I don't do this,
No what if I'm shaped this way,
No what if I'm this color,
No what if I wasn't born into this.
You are enough.
Our value is not dependent on what we've achieved in the exterior world.
Our value lies in who we are and so the question is who are we?
We are the result of intelligent mystery far more advanced than any computer.
We are made up of elements that derive directly from the cosmos singular manifestations of cosmic good.
There is no same personality,
No same person.
You are unique.
You carry within yourself your own talents,
Your own add to the mix.
These talents can lead you in what you offer to the world at large or simply stay with you in your home.
There are no rules in your unique expression.
There is no judgment in how you should use your gifts.
There are no expectations in what you do with them.
They are simply yours.
There is a beautiful spirit sitting within you even when you may tell yourself you cannot see it or feel it.
Know that it is there.
This spirit loves you unconditionally.
It's always with you.
It wants the best for you.
It's so gentle,
So selfless,
So kind and so large.
It's the essence of who we are.
It is the foundation of your existence.
It's there for you to always come back to.
It adores you.
Simply waiting for you to call upon it to give you guidance,
To give you purpose when you've forgotten yourself without any judgment.
How do I know it's there?
Take a deep inhale with me.
Finding stillness for a moment.
Place your hand on your heart and simply feel the subtle pulse sitting within you.
This is your spirit celebrating you,
Honoring you,
Seeing the beauty in you.
This is your spirit reminding you to not forget it in times of need.
This beat is the refuge it gives you to remind you that nothing out there comes close to how enough you are to it.
In times when our day becomes chaotic,
When nothing seems to be working in your favor,
When you believe you're not capable,
When you fill yourself with doubt,
Simply place your hand on your chest,
Breathe and find stillness and feel your spirit supporting you through it all.
So please don't doubt the intelligent mystery of who you are.
Do not allow the exterior world to tell you differently.
There is nothing you have to do to have purpose or to belong because you are simply enough.
