The Road To Harmony Is Within You

Sometimes our paths are dark and barely recognizable. The trust we have in ourselves and the steps we take are what lead us to where we want to be. The path doesn’t move for us. 

Harmony is a state within us that leads us down unrecognized paths and places unknown. 

The reason the road takes us to harmony is because we will never learn to trust ourselves if we don’t take the steps down the path of life. The path is there for the taking and leaves us with much to gain. 

Staying stagnant leaves us stuck. Walking in circles leaves us dizzy. Going backwards is easy yet pointless since we already know what is there. Even though going backwards is necessary sometimes. And of course we just get plain old tired…

If you do- sit down. You will find places to stop and catch your breath. 

Friends, family, sick days on the couch. 

But when you’re ready get up. Keep going forward toward the unknown. 

Self discovery of what we are capable of for OURSELVES is what lies before us. 

Something that was never highlighted for many of us since what we can do for others is so heavily emphasized in our upbringings. 

Having the fortitude to go where we want in life and to sometimes do it alone- is a gift. 

Once you get moving nothing will stop you. 

Your path gets easier. We find high ground and sheer beauty, nourishment, and live giving hope along the way. 

Keep going. 

If you still don’t know where exactly you are going, it still becomes less scary. And that’s a win in itself! 

You start to become more confident as you find more stability. 

The path transforms into an exciting adventure to look for. We can become driven with the anticipation of knowing there is even better than what we already discovered somewhere along the way. 

The challenges become signs of markers of our resilience as opposed to daunting hurdles dripping with fear. 

Each new high ground becoming more and more stable, clear, restful and rewarding and open for others to come and sit with us. 

Then you arrive exactly where you never knew existed or that you wanted to be. Sometimes it’s  places you only ever dreamed of reaching. 

When life throws loss, betrayal, and gut wrenching pain at us we are wounded beyond belief. And that is valid and requires us to assess/ tend to how badly we are injured before we can forge ahead. But fear of the unknown shouldn’t stop us once we know we can make walk. 

 Fear of the unknown holds us all back one point or another. That’s also OK and must be recognized. As long as it doesn’t stop you or keep you stuck. 

Sometimes while we are braving the road ahead we stop and go back to the familiar. Only to find it’s exactly how we left it and truly not where we want to be in life. 

Thats OK that we went back. 

Sometimes we all need that reminder and stabilization back to what we know. 

However, that’s usually when the next part of the journey becomes worth facing. 

Until what’s behind us is so far away and we are too far in that it becomes not worth the trudge back. 

The work and time we put into moving forward creates pride, self worth and confidence. the idea of trading those empowering feelings for the concrete fear and uncertainty we left behind simply becomes not worth it. 

That’s when we are free. Nothing will stop you then!

It’s hard- gosh it’s scary as all hell but you want better, more, and to experience the beauty life has to offer. 

Keep going! You’ve got this! 

Nobody and nothing can stop you.
