One of my elders in Ifa used to say: there is no ending without a beginning, and no beginning without an ending. It is the cycle of life. I was taught this during divination training more than 20 years ago, and it still rings true today.
The man in this picture initiated me into the Ifa tradition. His name was Aseda. If he were alive today, he would tell you the same thing he told me:
Open your doors. Let go of the things—and the people—that are not helping your growth.
So let me ask you:
Where in your life does something need to end so that a new beginning can emerge?What are you still clinging to that’s keeping you from truly living again?
Sit with that. The answer matters.
