love isn’t complicated. it’s easy. we’re born doing it. we’re created to receive it. don’t make it messy with rules. just let it happen. let others love you. then share.
“Perform your duty equipoised, O Arjuna, abandoning all attachment to success or failure. Such equanimity is called yoga.” — The Bhagahvad Gita
“I try to create songs that are really massive and intense, but at the same time remaining honest and raw. I love the feeling when you hear a song that is so overwhelming and powerful it makes your veins hurt. I’d like to write one of those songs one day. I keep the lyrics simple, no nonsense. I’ve always enjoyed the way old folk songs say what they need to say without becoming convoluted or ostentatious. Just words of wisdom straight from the heart of a little midwestern girl.” — Nika Roza Danilova, akaZola Jesus

You may want to go beyond your comfort zone and make bolder decisions today. This could be due to your confidence about your current life situation. It might seem that you need to seize as much as you can out of life in order to grow more fully as a person. Perhaps today you might find that reflecting upon your decisions before jumping into something unknown might offer better results. Try to think about the impact of your decisions, keeping in mind that bold choices do not always have to be rash. You may want to consider what avenues for growth your decisions may lead you down, and adjust your ideas accordingly. By weighing your choices, you might notice that your decisions could be based on greater courage and audacity than you thought.
Taking calculated risks can propel us into new and unforeseen territory and encourage us to grow in ways we may never before have imagined. When we stay within our comfort zone, our lives become restricted and we don’t challenge ourselves. By making bold decisions, however, we become open to what life has to offer. We test ourselves in new ways and learn new skills. By adding a reflective component to our risk-taking, we make our decisions based on what is best for us. This allows us to approach our choices with greater daring, since we are more openly aware of where our decisions will lead us. By making conscientious and bold choices today, you will expand and enhance the depth of your life.
“Why do people say “grow some balls”? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.” — Betty White
“… let’s just let this big old tree grow right out of the brush, there it comes. Something about like that. And that helps push that whole mountain back into the distance. There. Bet you never knew a tree could push a mountain, but it can. It can …” — Bob Ross

JUST BE NICE.
Finding balance.
It seems so often I make lists of goals/things to do and then I tuck them away only to have to write them all over again soon after. Today is another day of writing lists of my next steps into the world - there is so much I want to do, be, see. How do I squeeze it all in? Finding balance is so hard for me, I just want to do do DO!
