On a level much deeper than thought

When I get stressed out and lose myself it is because I get caught up in the "life" I think I should be living-- what I think I should I be doing, where I think I should be, how I should look--
It is ironic because all those things
Are exactly what I am not.

I challenge you to reflect on the story in your head regarding "success", and what is good enough and what is expected...the story of who you think you should be...
I challenge you to stop, let the story go and
Breathe,
What comes to you?
Feel,
What is real?

In this moment YOU are real
And by this I mean your beingness, your spirit--
Not your body,
Not your mind,
Not what you do
Or the material things you have aquired.

When I take a moment to look at my hands,
I am reminded that our bodies are the vessel for our spirit;
Our bodies merely enable us to physically move about this world,
To fulfill our Purpose

And perhaps the purpose of your hands today,
Is to simply hold the hands of another

God knows and loves who you really are
As do YOU
Love and know yourself
