EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR US

 


I understand that these are strange + stressful times. They’re times of challenge + uncertainty + change. But every challenge harbors opportunity for those who have the eyes to read its themes.

To put it differently, everything that happens, happens for us. It’s in moments just like this one that we rise if we can meet them as the teachers that they are.

It is our job not to worry or complain, but to slow down + listen well. Challenge doesn’t surface to impair us but to build us in an unexpected way.

This time is one of growth if we will meet it as a beneficial guest - if we remember that the seed depends on storms to reach the sky.

So facing the alarm of this unknown, what will you do? Will you retreat or stand to greet this crucial moment as a friend?

Considering the themes of this event, I will encourage this: slow down enough to notice your own body.

Learn to listen, learn to feel, and learn to nourish its most fundamental needs. Invest your full attention at this time into the body: learn its language, tap its wisdom, feed it well.

Invest your full attention in the home of your important human life, and then observe what happens when you do.


CONTINUED…

Your body is the genesis of all that happens next.

Don’t wait-and-see.

ENGAGE.
