Within you, there is great beauty waiting to be discovered.
\”As the lotus rises on it\’s stalk unsoiled by mud and water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world.\”
~Buddha~
The slow, transformative process of change leads us inward. We must learn to turn and face our fears, acknowledge our challenges and honor them as sacred aspects of our awakening. The experiences of life allow us to cultivate new spiritual strengths and insights while providing the opportunity to apply them in the world of form.
Don\’t shun the darkness for it makes the light even more beautiful. Love in the face of hatred is profound. The awakened soul sows kindness when others flee in fear. This world was created to teach through adversity and contrast and this is why we are called upon to rise above judgment. Rather than seeing some things as good and others as bad, we now are able to see the Oneness that connects them all.
You are right where you need to be. All that you need to know will make itself known to you in the perfect way at the perfect time. When you live authentically, your light will shine in the darkness.
Today my intention is to let every breath be a reminder of life\’s magic.
