Sitting here tonight working with notion AI to build some ongoing reflective practices using the textbooks of documentation I process on a weekly basis - journal entries, mediation sessions, day planning/habit tracking, synchronicity tracking... (yes I am a journaling nerd, I fell in love with it years ago after hating writing due to fear of self expression.) I just recently over the course of the past 2 years moved 95% of my writing online, for many reasons. I still love to write by hand though. A statement that came to mind that was reflected by my Chatgpt journal entries around a month ago was this: the right relationship with peace isn't stagnation in any form; it's peaceful power. It's knowing your place within alignment, timing, trust, and gratitude. Peaceful power is standing in your abundance, freely grasped by the duality that is the material world's manifest and the spiritual/energetic dimension's lack of time sense. like standing at a cold bus stop at 3 in the morning with no one around, realizing your 4 year old body contained a similar power to both what you hold now and to what you hold at age 86, all simultaneously existing, but separated by a wall we often forget did not have a definition until we gave it one and sequentially defined life by it. love the process, smell the roses and feel the breeze stay heartled

No matter where you go, what you do, or who you're around, the level by which you've built yourself to will apply in some way or another. At some point before stepping into new rooms, you may feel overly adequate in some area. Like you're king of the world and nobody can touch you. But when you walk into a place with a different kind of energy, a place where others have been building and have been seeing their dedications through, you might find some inner lack - that's ok, know that it's meant to be like that so you feel the push to dive into it. You're meant to understand why it is you feel lesser, that way you can make it a fine tuned part of your musical life arsenal. I'm a strong believer in the things you want requiring a new version of yourself. You're meant to go Deeper

On the braids of momentum we find ourselves entangled in, how we decide to look around when we look up determines much of where we continue to head. Do we come up gasping for air, as if we've been drowning? Or do we glance around with patience and grace, knowing the apparent path is the one we're most in alignment with. Many times in my journey I looked up and around and down and back again - I confused myself with a myriad of self based trials, those of which mostly disoriented my larger goals. Take the time to appreciate the hardest parts of the journey and to decompress when your body needs it.

sometimes the journey asks very odd things of you. it may ask you to completely abandon an old way of being it may ask you to forget your past it may ask you to forget who you are to become the better version of you. to listen, accept and deliver, is what I like to consider Walking by Faith. Faith that you are supported Faith that your life has great potential Faith that your outcome will be much different than your current situation. so Pony up, as they say... Ride in with grace and gratitude, things always work out in our benefit in one way or another anyway...

Walk in and let your message be known. You have a message of greatness that needs to be spoken
