I had a moment in meditation this morning that gave me pause. I noticed a part of me that’s been carrying a heavy sense of “doing the right thing,” almost like a moral code that was inherited rather than chosen.

It’s been so present, it’s sometimes pulled me away from trusting what actually feels true inside. As I sat with it, I felt a quiet reminder that I can trust my own judgment, that there’s a steadier, wiser place in me that doesn’t need to prove itself.

It’s amazing what we find when we slow down and listen in.
