If we look into our hearts, we can see that approval of ourselves is influenced by the pressure of our tangled emotions and it can be really hard to recognize what we have already overcome when we are lost in the shuffle of our struggles as well as the safety of their familiarity in our moments of uncertainty.

What we see in that place is what makes us feel unique and separate from others and while movement does help us to relocate our focus, if our actions still include dragging around our invisible barriers from the yesterdays, our adjusted steps will continue to revolve in the understanding of our shadows that have shifted right along with us.

We can’t erase that contrast and we can’t cover it up as the emphasis on our differences is already a part of the way that we speak to ourselves about how difficult it is for us to be happy and how easy it is for our suffering to pull us back from the light.

Transformation is risky because it involves changing how we do today with the presence of a mind and heart that can’t imagine what we will look like around the bend nor if the acceptance that we have been seeking on the inside will finally be something that we can hold onto or remain fleeting despite our efforts.

A better question to ask in our process, then, would be “How are we defining what enough means for ourselves? ” because if that word has been constrained just as our hope has been, we are unnecessarily rotating in the murkiness that we desire to leave behind.

So in our fights with the feels that have filled us with confusion and hurt, let us allow our belief of our adequacy to encompass the knowledge that we have made it to this very point and when our existence is minute by minute, that we are still living within the artwork that being enough has left for us to nurture as only we can.

For today, try a little kindness in your talk because sometimes the dragons in our stories are not the “f” moments that we have lived but simply are the results of our mixing up and limiting the definitions of the very words that we are using to define our lives by.

Have the best day POSSIBLE for you. Love Always, Heavell
