Encouragement
For Expansion of Self
Truth doesn’t rush you.
It waits for you to stop leaving.
You don’t need more information.
You need less avoidance.
The way to save time and effort is
Radical and instant honesty
With others and yourself.
Stop negotiating with
What you already know.
Trust yourself more
Than the guarantees of others.
Stop outsourcing certainty.
You belong to yourself first.
Be on your side.
Your actions shape who you are
More than your thoughts.
Let your action precede clarity.
You don’t find yourself,
You stop leaving.
Most problems resolve themselves
When they are seen accurately,
Stay and look directly.
Don’t push harder,
Remove what’s in the way.
Don’t let pain break your presence.
Don’t let fear prevent your growth.
Use them:
Capacity for choice is built.
In practice:
If you’re tempted to move, stay.
If you want to wait, go.
In participation:
Show up and relax.
Your mind can organize around anything
On autopilot.
