The Unknown
Isn’t ok to just not know? To plan, to feel as you grow — Into a better version of you along the way. Like the waves that come and go — without attachment, No expectation, just Along for the ride. See, I’m rooted in fire I’m finding my Flow, here and now. The goal is the be here mentally, always. Let me explain. We live for the finish line. The end game. The answer. We want to know what happens next. That it will all be ok. That THEY are the one or that this too shall pass. But it’s when we give up that power, that notion, that NEED to know — that is when we actually grow, when we allow ourselves to lose control, and accept knowing that you never really know. Me? I ask for what I want. I take what I need. Sometimes without really knowing if I want it at all, But asking for an answer or even forcing an outcome often feels easier than embracing the moment, until we let go. In November 2015, I found my feet, in yoga class—even though I had be practicing for 13 years prior, as a sport - as a fight, not an experience. But suddenly it felt different. I accepted the now, I felt the ground, stood tall in my body. I let go of control and opened up to the choice of accepting the unknown. And today I tapped into another growth zone. A phone call and a question that left me without conclusion, so I answered honestly, “I just don’t know.” So, I set out on an 8 mile run to find my feet, to bring back my confidence, but still No conclusion, and a lesson no less: What a gift, to own that you just don’t know. TO let go of planning, and allow yourself to feel As you go. And even grow Into a better version of you along your way. Like the waves that come and go — without attachment or expectation, Just along for the ride. We are so obsessed with outcome Our need to plan To win To know We forget to feel our now. Not just accepting it Or being present in it But actually celebrating it Regardless of where you are, what you have, what you don’t. Gratitude, always. Not once a year. Today I am grateful that I just don’t know. But I’m Celebrating, always — step by step as I grow. Embracing the present Owning the moment. This present as a gift. This life as a choice. This choice that is mine, that is yours, that is ours. Own your gifts. Share your stories. Ride your wave, moment to moment. Try it, It Feels good. #flowthruthefight
