Can we just take a moment and get really honest with ourselves?
Let's drop into present.
Let's come home to this moment.
Can we be honest about the love that's inside of us that we're not allowing to flow into the world?
Can we be honest about the ways we limit ourselves,
The ways we get in our own way,
And yet all the while there's the sincerity of our hearts that simply wants to play?
Maybe we can just say,
Oh my goodness,
What am I doing?
It's kind of adorable.
Here you are gifted the miracle of being alive,
And inside of you is this beauty,
This love,
This something that sets your heart on fire,
And it wants to be shared with the world.
Are you really going to waste this life hiding behind the monsters you imagine,
Being worried about what other people think?
Or are you here to be alive,
To sing your song,
To let your offering be a great celebration for the life you've been given?
How much longer will you wait before you give yourself back to yourself?
Before you do what you're here to do?
What has been the pain this whole time that comes with not allowing yourself to be yourself?
Maybe it's just time.
You know,
My friend,
So often we are under the assumption that we're in this life to get something,
This idea that there's some prize in the future.
And so we tiptoe around,
Trying not to lose that prize in the future.
We hold ourselves back.
We don't be ourselves.
We do everything we can to try and control everything around us so that we might get that future prize.
And this is one of the great misunderstandings about being human.
You're not here to get something,
Because that would imply that you're missing something.
And that also implies a fear of losing something.
Actually,
You're here to share something,
And you share what you already have.
You are here to discover something beautiful on the inside of what you are,
And then share that beauty with the world.
What are you waiting for?
This is the grand adventure of being alive,
Of being human,
Of being you.
So thank you for meditating with me today.
