By dialing down the pressure you’re putting on yourself.

No matter where you are now in your journey, you’re enough.

You don’t need to become anyone, achieve anything or get anywhere.

Just surrender to the natural unfolding of all life events and try to make the most of them regardless of how they look like.

Everything happening in your life is specially tailored for you to know yourself better and remember who you truly are.

So, even if now it seems nothing makes sense and you feel lost, believe me, there’s a reason for every single thing that comes in your way to be a part of your journey.

We’re always trying to find meaning everywhere, trying to be productive, trying to do what we’re supposed to do, trying to find out the right way to go…

Fuck all that! That’s your acquired beliefs and social conditioning talking, not your real self.

Focus on what matters to you. What is it that really makes your heart beat? Listen to that inner voice that’s your intuition, that’s always trying to guide you.

Don’t listen to your compulsive thoughts or the external noise.

Sit with yourself in silence and listen to your gut feeling, your heart and soul, that’s where your true self resides, that’s where the essence of who you really are is.

Just let life happen and flow with it in the direction that it takes you, accept whatever comes in your way with gratitude and make the most of it.

Your power is in your perspective. The way you choose to see life is exactly the way you will experience it, so be conscious about it and don’t let your emotions decide for you.
