”The joy is one with who you are, and cannot come to you. It arises from deep within.”

 

Growth is painful, change is painful, but there is nothing as painful as staying stuck where we don’t belong. Life is meant to be experienced; the highs, the lows, the good and the bad. Everything has its purpose, and your purpose should be to fully embrace who you are. All aspects of who you are. Your flaws, your strengths. Your beauty. There’s a reason why you’re here, darling human. 

I guess the problem is that sometimes we’re just trying too hard. We’re trying to control every part of our life; planning for the future, minute by minute. Trying to predict the future, worrying about the future. But the fact is, the future is constantly changing, and all we can impact is the present moment. The future is being created while you’re fully present in this moment. And the next, and the next, and the next. Wherever you are, be there.

You don’t have to have all of your life figured out. And isn’t that just the loveliest thought?! Sometimes it’s completely okey to feel like you have no idea what you’re doing. You just have to flow with it. And let it be. Exactly as it is. Sometimes it’s the uncertainty that brings you peace of mind.

Happiness doesn’t come to you through any possession, achievement, person or event – it stems from deep inside your being. As soon as we stop controlling people and events around us, and stop taking ourselves too damn serious all the time, we begin to see the beauty of dancing through life instead. Relaxing, being thankful for every day we get to wake up and experience this magical thing called life.

Don’t you know there’s a fu***ng universe inside of you? Everything you seek, dear human, you already are. Why go looking for it on the outside, when it’s so close. It’s resting deep within, underneath that beautiful skin. Your task is pretty simple – wake up from your coma. Be grateful for everything you’ve been through, for it has made you into the human being you are.

Be grateful you were given this amazing opportunity to experience life.

Don’t let it pass you by, without you noticing.
