You are more than the condition of your wardrobe.
You are more than your hairstyle.
You are more than your age or other demographics.
You are more than your very real aches and pains.
You are more than your high school experience.
You are more than your job description.
You are more than what you see in the media.
You are more than the state of your house.
You are more than the contents of your fridge.

We assume we are behind, that we must return to regular, and we aim to recover control in order to get back to our peace and flow. But what if we looked at this another way?
What if our peace and flow is not regained by overcoming a situation, but by embracing it? By not fighting the current, but instead by lifting our oars out of the water?
Make no assumptions — that is what leaves room for miracles.
What if we let go of the assumption that we work our way back toward ease and joy, and we left room for the miracle of it already being present, now?

Breathe into the miracle that just occurred in the space you created for it.
