The deepest, most transformational lessons typically are not assimilated overnight.

For those, we are talking about years, perhaps decades or longer.

Not everybody signs up to learn or walk an inner path. You have to recognize this when you see it and make sure you don’t become a lesson teacher. People generally don’t respond well to this.

As opposed to lifestyles of comfort and ease, the path of inner undoing, awakening, and refinement yields dividends, which ripple far out into time. That’s why it’s so hard.

You don’t decide when a lesson has been internalized. You may think that it has, only to find it tested a few more times hence. When you get involved with this work, it has to be done right, which can be frustrating at times — the up and down of it.

Every so often, you will tase the sweetness of progress. You’ll get a glimpse of what you’re after. And you’ll come to understand, nothing else really matters — everything is left behind at the time of death, except for your character and the reformation it underwent.

Certainly, pause to have fun, enjoy, and be silly. It can’t be all one way, all the time.

Most of all, be kind. To yourself and all whom who you cross paths with. None of it is by chance.

There is a blessing waiting to be found in every interaction, if we would but take the time to find it.

You are a living miracle. Your intentions and aspirations do all of the work. From there, it’s about following the path that opens up in front of you because you really have no other choice.

Be the silent demonstation of eternal learning. 🙏🏻
