Love The Unknown

To love the unknown is to surrender the illusion of control and invite life to reveal itself as it truly is—unfolding, uncertain, and alive

To love the unknown is to surrender the illusion of control and invite life to reveal itself as it truly is—unfolding, uncertain, and alive. The human tendency is to cling to what’s familiar, mistaking predictability for safety. Yet, real growth doesn’t live in what we already understand; it breathes in the spaces we’ve yet to explore.

When you love the unknown, you stop demanding that reality fit your expectations. You begin to experience curiosity instead of fear, presence instead of projection. The mind loosens its grip, and the self expands beyond its conditioned boundaries. In that expansion, there’s freedom—freedom to discover, to create, to be transformed.

The unknown is not your enemy. It’s the invitation.

Daily Moment of Awareness [9.30.2019]

Moments of awareness shared with you

Meditation is an experience which gives the individual the opportunity to see oneself. Unfiltered. Non-judged. Without fear.

This does not mean it is without intense emotion, but it is emotion grounded in how you see yourself. This is powerful. Many of us chip away (sometimes strip away) our authenticity in order to be accepted, to be loved, or we do it to be invisible. We then begin to see ourselves as others want to see us.

My meditative practice has been about eight years in the making. Where I am at is leaps and bounds from where I began. But what I realized today is, when I meditate I am seeing and feeling my authentic self. It’s liberating. It’s inspiring.

I’m also reminded I have work to do, but I’m not embarrassed by it. I am accepting of it. I am accepting of me.

There is always something or someone to be grateful for. You can consciously give gratitude for your breath and for yourself. Think about what you do have, instead of lamenting what you don’t. Think about all the people (near and far) who love you. Ground yourself in gratitude.

When you open your heart and your mind to this beautiful life, goodness flows to you. It all begins with gratitude. And in the most magical moments, you will see that grace is a smile in the present about a challenge from the past.
