I hope you trust your life and let it bloom from the inside out.

I hope you keep trying, not to obtain all of the things you think you need to make you happy but to maintain the ones that already do. I hope you keep trusting, not that someone is going to show up one day and give you all of your answers but that that person will always be you.

I hope you keep looking, not for wholeness, completion, or worthiness in the world but for those realities within yourself. And I hope you keep surrendering, not in the way that means giving up on life but rather letting it all in, leaning into the beauty of what currently is, and learning that your experience of life changes when you do and not the other way around.

I hope you stay still long enough to know you are more than whatever you do, that your true identity is deeper than a list of superficial successes and failures and that you don’t have to stay busy to be alive. Your life is a gift and not something you have to constantly chase after or endlessly earn.

I hope you taste the priceless peace of presence, the spontaneous joy of being fully here and now, and the relief of knowing you don’t have to prove yourself because this precise moment is your only purpose. Whatever you can give to life right now is where you’ll find your meaning. It’s how you leave your legacy.
