There is a way and I will definitely find it
You have found your way and made it up to here. We will be continuously challenged, because we are continuously being more capable (a revisit)
Lessons from the past are like jewels in our toolbox. They are crystallized information that are now in our DNA that can be our go to for wisdom in times of confusion.
When feeling lost, one must feel thankful because this is an opportunity to seek wisdom from within. Feeling lost and not knowing where to go or what to do is a clear sign of your awakening. It is a pattern interrupt from continuing the loop that has been playing yesterday.
To create a new life, the one that you truly dream of. One must created from the inside towards the outside. As above below, as within so without.
What does a new life look like for you? Notice if you’re living your day today in quiet desperation. There is only now, an eternal now, where in you live and breathe in human form. So if you are feeling just a slight inkling or curiosity in pursuing something, give it a shot right now. the sooner you do this the sooner you’ll learn from your mistakes and course correct.
In taking action, taking responsibility and full accountability on building the type of human being that you long to be, You continually purify yourself.
You shed the layers that are unnecessary for your growth. You will feel a lot lighter knowing the inner workings of the mind, you will let go of baggage and stories that have been taking up real estate in your mental well-being.
Find your Way today by completely letting go of what is expected of you, your expectations of yourself and your external world. Try stopping your performance as your identity and just be quiet and observe it. (try this for 3 minutes)
Intentionally relax, every muscle of your body, straighten up your spine and just breathe for a minute or two. In Buddhism, we call this managing the monkey mind. Now that you are truly here and present your energies and attention is not being spent and pulled towards analyzing the past or anticipating the future. In this space, you are one with everything and this is the perfect place to create inside the workshop of your mind.
Whatever you may be going through right now that is causing you anything other than Joy, this only means that you are in need of reviewing how the mind works. You are hanging out too much in the neo cortex where in you engage too much in the sensorial and the outer world. But if you drop down the attention towards your gut, your heart and the limbic part of the brain, You shall create from within, and you will be at one with source intelligence and it shall rouse up intelligence within your body as well, creating cells that are more life affirming and will create neurons that shall connect you into higher dimensions and worlds.
Solutions and pathways always appear if we relax into it. All we need to remind ourselves of is that there is a higher order going on unfailingly with or without our intervention.
So be an expert in dropping stories in deep, resident breaths, closing the eyes momentarily and create a new world from withinFor that is all that there is. Everything we see in our external world is just a feedback or an echo of our creation in thinking feeling and believing.
Watch where your confidence is. We always have confidence, but sometimes it is focused on things that are not for our growth. Have confidence that all is well, that you are on a unique, beautiful journey, and life will continuously throw you unexpected circumstances, which are not necessarily bad, they are simply gateways to new worlds.
What attachments are you willing to let go, what practices are you going to engage in in service of closing the gap between your present and future self?
Whenever you feel anxiety or about to go on a panic attack, just take one deep breathAnd tell yourself there is a way, it is simple. It is easy and I will definitely find it.
The lotus found its way from the dark murky waters below. This is the same with our being, we can always look up to the sky and run towards full bloom. It is inevitable, it is you! i just needed to stop, snap this photo and share this with you.
Writing to you from the mountain top which reminds me of the mountain meditation I learned in MBSR training. Embodying the mountain, its stability and epic stature, unmoved by storms and there for us to see vast horizons of possibilities. A moment to unwrap from daily requirements of human good, take a deep breath and embody the mountain in you.
Also stopped to meditate on the perfection of dewdrops on a leaf. 🍃
Which lead to the perfection of this bloom. This photo was from a vegan donut shop that is now our fave 👉 Cloudy Donuts 🍩

I always love a good lotus photo and metaphor. I never knew why I was so drawn to them before.
We are always casting off what we do not need to carry.
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Absolutely adored this post. And found me just when I needed the reminder. ♡ I love the lotus metaphor. When I was at Plum Village earlier this year, they often used a saying: "No mud, no lotus." I loved this. No muck, no flower. No darkness, no light. The seed of a flower starts in the darkness of the soil... only to grow into the light. Thanks for this beautiful wisdom, Paolo!
