No part of your story is missing, ever! Every breath you take is an incalculable miracle nothing in the universe can ever match or experience.

Mystery is the core of every experience; we either challenge it with reason or embrace it with our will. Most of us look for or create reasons for why things are as they are. Sadly, our reason occurs in the overused bed of right and wrong, which is always faulty. Without knowing why or how, it takes guts to plunge into “what is.” Let not your reason keep you from doing so.

You are on a path unaffected by your plans and resolutions whose intent is to take you this way or that or to do one thing or another. Your path is the least traveled and will always be that way. No one can experience your journey, nor can you experience theirs. Resolve to love and appreciate the only path you could be on and thrill that no one else is on it with you. Yours truly is “The road less traveled.”

“I can’t do it” is a powerful release of the egoic structure that insists that we believe we can do anything we put our minds to. It’s the classic “mind over matter,” whose only flaw is that mind is matter. In other words, we are not our minds or these bodies. There is something far, far greater about us that exceeds any capability of the mind.
Here’s the difficulty: the mind will never provide a pathway to this other greatness. It cannot comprehend it. It is finite, trying to contain the infinite. Spirituality accepts that we are more than the physicality our bodies (minds) represent. It is also getting that our physicality cannot do anything but love the experience of what it can do.
It takes a silent mind to get anywhere near the infinite part of YOU. Stillness is infinite, pure, and where it’s at. Be quiet and see.

Funny thing we often say, e.g., “I am closing this chapter in my life.” Funny because there are no chapters in life, and life ultimately consists of a single page. That is the one you are living now. Nothing behind it and nothing in front. Just a blank page waiting for you to fill it with everything you can create. Yours is a story without a beginning or end; it is the most extraordinary story “never” told, only fully lived. Best of all, you don’t have to “write” a thing. Get busy living.

You are the canvas upon which everything is painted, and whether there is color, expression, beauty, or nothing at all, YOU remain life’s only artist. In other words, you are not an expression of life; life is an expression of you. Life’s beauty leaves no room for any questions you think need answers. Let go and be amazed at what returns.

What we did yesterday and what we do today have no bearing on anything that happens tomorrow. Tomorrow does not exist, nor does yesterday. All we can do is experience now, and the best way to experience anything is to cease thinking about nonexistent things. You and I, at this moment, are all there is or will ever be.

The spiritual default for things not going as we would like them is that “these things are happening to me for a reason” or “I’ll be better for having gone through them.” NOT!
We, meaning you, are responsible for everything in our experience, directly, indirectly, and uniquely. There is no “out there.” Own your life; if you don’t, life will own you.

Inner peace comes to you when you let go of the idea that you cannot have a meaningful life unless you discover what it is you think you need to do
