Your struggles don’t define you

From the Green Renaissance YouTube channel:

We care way too much about what other people think of us. We think that people are scrutinising how we look, what we do, what we say. It can become suffocating. It’s time to decide whether you want to take ownership of your life or give others the power to rule your life?

The bravest people are the one’s living their truth, despite fear.  Being yourself takes courage. It requires looking at yourself as you are in this moment and accepting and honouring who you see.  And immense growth is possible, if you face it and work through it.

Enjoy this week’s spiritual quote:

Once we have a firm practice of compassion our state of mind becomes stronger which leads to inner peace, giving rise to self-confidence, which reduces fear.

The Wisdom of Not Knowing

From the Green Renaissance YouTube channel:

Why are we so obsessed with knowing everything? While there’s nothing wrong with knowledge and understanding, our insatiable desire to know and control all aspects of our lives often gets in our way of trying new things.

There is no shame in not knowing, there is only freedom.  An uncertain mind is an open mind. It is a mind which is curious and interested.  It allows us to be creative and willing to live in a state of wonder and possibility, like children do.
