Dear friend,
It can be easy to get caught up in our day-to-day problems and forget the truth of who we really are and what we came here to do.
When we are in stress,
Worry,
Or fear,
The mind cannot be trusted.
Let me guide you back to the truth of who you are,
Leaving you rooted and grounded.
Take a deep breath in,
And relax.
You did not come here for your worth to be tied to how much you can accomplish.
You are inherently worthy,
Even when you do nothing at all.
Does a tree get its value from how big it grows?
Does the daisy compare itself to its neighbor and wish its petals were rose?
Root down into the truth of who you are.
The conditioning of our society runs deep.
It makes it hard for us to see the truth sometimes.
They want to keep us constantly on the go,
Chasing for more until we hit a wall,
Only to realize that at the end,
There was never a point to it at all.
For all we need,
And all that's true,
Is right here,
Right now,
It's all within you.
Now let us come back to what we know as a fact,
That you are alive,
And you are breathing and intact,
And if you're lucky,
You have an able body and a vessel to do whatever it is you'd like.
You have a roof over your head,
And a safe space to sleep.
You have access to food,
Is it true?
You have at least one person who loves you.
Do you really need anything more?
All of your needs are met.
You are safe,
Down to the core.
And when your problems seem too big to bear,
And you catch yourself in a moment of despair,
Remind yourself of this.
Zoom out of your current reality.
Picture yourself where you are now,
From bird's eye view.
Imagining the entire town you are in.
And now zooming out even further to the entire country you are in.
And now even further into our galaxy,
Looking down on Earth.
Like a point on a map,
The dot is you,
With billions of people alongside you,
All in their own worlds,
Going through their own troubles,
And all certain that what they perceive is true.
And yet the trees stand tall despite the strong winds,
And the birds still soar,
And the seasons continue to change as they always have before.
This intelligence that runs the seasons and the birds and the wind and the trees,
Runs within you too.
Dear friend,
Did you forget that you were a living miracle?
Just like a snowflake,
There is no other like you.
Why did you come on Earth?
Isn't the only real purpose to learn and to love?
Your existence will flash by in the blink of an eye,
Just as everything in nature inevitably lives and dies.
Your time will also come,
And all that will matter is how deeply you loved.
So if you go to bed tonight,
And you have a safe space to sleep,
And all you did was love today,
You are more successful than you think.
And the night sky will fall,
And the stars will blink,
And the divine rhythm continues,
Without you having to think.
