Kindle Notes & Highlights
No matter how smart we may think we are, no matter how committed we are to our truth, we can lose our way. We’re human. Made of flesh and feelings, not armor. And knowing that, there is something we can do to let in the light when we’re fighting it the most.
If you think about it, how much time do we spend in our heads wishing things were another way, beating ourselves up, beating others up, crafting a different past, wishing for a different future? All of that is resistance. All of that is pain.
Success and failure come and go but don’t let them define you. It’s who you are that matters. And if the outcome doesn’t match your desire, you won’t crash in the process. Instead, you’ll walk away with the lessons learned and go on to create far greater things. Each time, giving your effort. Each time, being your true self.

The day in day out thoughts of living and breathing in the modern world.
Walking the Earth with a heart that is open, it is powerful. The love you emanate feels like it could wreck the world, it’s so strong. So beautiful. And that creates magic in ways you never could have imagined.
