"Do you have the patience to wait
Till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
Till the right action arises by itself?"

I TRULY needed to read this today.

Namaste.

I studied with Deepak Chopra off and on for more than 30 years. I became a Chopra Center certified yoga and meditation instruction, on my way to becoming an Ayurvedic Master in mind body health. While I have sadly under my own power fallen far from that tree of life the past ten years, I'm reminded more and more lately of his words.

"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear." ~Alexander Butcher

Beware of your illusions.

I know I'm not the only one feeling an emptiness lately. Loss of country, loss of faith, loss of trust, loss of lives. The sculpture is called Melancolie. And it is heartbreakingly beautiful.

The artist is Romanian born Albert György and the piece is in a park on the Lake Geneva shoreline in Switzerland.

John Maddox wrote of his own loss, “We may look as if we carry on with our lives as before. We may even have times of joy and happiness. Everything may seem “normal.” But THIS, “Emptiness” is how we all feel…all the time.”

"Just because your world is falling apart doesn't mean you have to fall apart. When everything seems crazy, you be calm. Don't let the outer chaos you are facing get inside you." ~Bryant McGill

Among the many bolstering thoughts here: "You’re allowed to let toxic friends go, you’re allowed to surround yourself with love, and people who encourage and nurture you. You’re allowed to pick the kind of energy you need in your life."

You’re allowed to leave any story you don’t find yourself in. You’re allowed to leave any story you don’t love yourself in.

You’re allowed to leave a city that has dimmed your light instead of making you shine brighter, you’re allowed to pack all your bags and start over somewhere else and you’re allowed to redefine the meaning of your life.

You’re allowed to quit the job you hate even if the world tells you not to and you’re allowed to search for something that makes you look forward to tomorrow and to the rest of your life.

You’re allowed to leave someone you love if they’re treating you poorly, you’re allowed to put yourself first if you’re settling and you’re allowed to walk away when you’ve tried over and over again but nothing has changed.

You’re allowed to let toxic friends go, you’re allowed to surround yourself with love, and people who encourage and nurture you. You’re allowed to pick the kind of energy you need in your life.

You’re allowed to forgive yourself for your biggest and smallest mistakes and you’re allowed to be kind to yourself, you’re allowed to look in the mirror and actually like the person you see.

You’re allowed to set yourself free from your own expectations.

We sometimes look at leaving as a bad thing or associate it with giving up or quitting, but sometimes leaving is the best thing you can do for yourself.

Leaving allows you to change directions, to start over, to rediscover yourself and the world. Leaving sometimes saves you from staying stuck in the wrong place with the wrong people.

Leaving opens a new door for change, growth, opportunities and redemption.

You always have the choice to leave until you find where you belong and what makes you happy.

You’re even allowed to leave the old you behind and reinvent yourself.
