Take a Breath.

Take a breath. Most of us are blessed to have this gift so readily available. Breathe. Notice how it relaxes, revitalizes and invigorates your body. Effortlessly, we receive, often unconscious of the depth, breadth and beauty of this blessing. When it is consciously applied, it is unlimited in its healing capacity. Breathe in. Breathe out.

In this moment, there is nothing for you to be, nothing for you to do and nothing which must be overcome. You are exactly where you need to be. All that is happening is happening exactly as it should for you to have all that you desire. Despite the now elevated chatter of the monkey mind speaking in opposition to such nonsense ("don't forget all that you still need to do") simply surrender. Let it go. Breathe.

It is all going to be alright. It is all going to be better than alright. You are here. You are able to read these words. You are able to breathe. With that breath, comes possibility. Revel in that. Celebrate the fact that, when so many others no longer have the opportunity, you are here to experience another day with all of the yet unknown gifts that await you. Breathe.

Success or sabotage? Despite the individual cases and unique specifics, success is journey, not a destination. Desire is a reminder of our need to grow, expand and be even more of who we are meant to be. The human experience will always hunger for something more, something new, something better. The greater joy is in the experience, not in the achievement. Appreciate the path with all of its challenges and obstacles; they are the most crucial part of your story.

Is this going to be an incredible day? Simply breathe and allow the day to provide you with all of the gifts that it has to offer. Nothing to do, just receive it.
