The Wonder of Silence

In silence, we find the ability to listen to ourselves, to others and to God. Without learning how to listen to others, we cannot communicate, we cannot relate to each other, and we cannot live life in a meaningful way. We need to learn to listen.

Sitting in silence allows us to listen to ourselves and to understand. Silence can heal. Our worries, our pain, can be healed when we listen. Spiritual medicine is ever-present in the soul. Whenever we need it, to whatever extent we need it, we can find it within. The disease of anger needs the medicine of hope; the violence of revenge and spite needs forgiveness; fear needs courage, and ego needs self-respect. Through inner silence, we receive the strength to heal. “ – Anthony Strano,

Great days aren’t lucky.

I waited for confidence for years. It never showed up first.

Turns out that’s not how it works.

Confidence isn’t a gift you’re handed. It’s something you build, one hard moment at a time.

The fear doesn’t leave. You just prove you can hold it anyway.

Confidence isn’t the start. It’s the reward.

One small win. That’s all it takes.

I make my bed some mornings for no real reason. And somehow the whole day just moves differently.

One workout. One finished task. One hard thing before nine.

It compounds. Quietly. Without asking permission.

Great days aren’t lucky. They’re built, one tiny win at a time.- Pivot Pathways

You will lose the weight!

You will lose the weight! (The clothes still won’t fit.)…You will lose those 20 pounds, But the clothes you’ve saved from the last time you were that weight won’t fit right. (I can personally attest to this fact.) Give them away so someone can wear them now and treat yourself to new outfits when you lose the weight.

The Only

I was always the only woman, always the only Black person, always the only, only, only, only, only [but] It wasn’t lonely for me because I knew that if that door had been opened for me, it had been opened by a power greater than myself.  – OPRAH WINFREY

We also ask, “What’s quietly exhausting me?”

Because freeing up energy is often what makes everything else possible.
