see yourself as you truly are steady, true, and comfortable in your own skin.
The age-old axiom of ‘know thyself’ is one we would do well to remember every hour of every day. Everything we think, feel, and do needs to emerge from our personal center. As soon as we embrace that center, we can orbit around others’ issues, concerns, energies, and challenges with quiet strength and stillness. We can lovingly guide or step aside or simply listen. Don’t take anything personally. Don’t get sucked into a vortex of expectations or wishing-things-were-different. Don’t allow someone else’s assumptions to become yours. This is not selfishness—it’s the wisdom of centered stillness that allows you to be strong and free in your soul.
