Tony Robbins
Become: to come into existence or to undergo change or development – Merriam-Webster
The picture above isn’t very pretty. The colors are dark and the flowers are wilting. They appear to be a weed about to scatter their unwanted seeds everywhere. I have been feeling like that recently. Like an unwanted weed whose seeds will only burden the gardener. Better to be culled than sow more thorns….
What we aren’t seeing, dear reader, is that that barren husk of a flower is a lotus. A lotus!! The flower who bears uncontested beauty born of the rivers muddy bottom. Even they go through periods of torpor.
“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, and invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back”
~Albert Camus

Let Go….
- Let Go of unspoken expectation
- Let Go of behaviors that do not move you closer to your goal
- Let Go of self limiting beliefs and stories that no longer serve you
- Let Go of the bullshit
