“Always say “yes” to the present moment. Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.” – Eckhart Tolle
I find the state of being present sometimes difficult to comprehend and practice. I have come to realise if I want to fully embrace this moment and to know that this is all there is, then I cannot be in my mind.
“The nature of the cosmos is such that whatever vision you have about yourself and the world will become reality.” – Alberto Villoldo
Do you believe you are worthy of the dreams you wish for? Do you know the power you have within, to create them into reality?
“It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there’ll be any fruit. But that doesn’t mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.” – Mahatma Gandhi
How can we make a difference in our own life or another’s? How often do we say “Somebody, should do something about that, only to realise, we are that somebody?
“We cultivate love, when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection, our love can survive these injuries and heal.” – Brene Brown
I loved this video of Brene Brown because from a deep understanding of self, she is able to help us connect and know that no matter where we are on this journey, no matter how painful or lonely it seems, “We are enough” and we are always “Worthy of love and connection.”

“Pressure is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure, it’s because you’ve started to think of failure.” – Tommy Lasorda
For years, everytime I would go for a check-up at the Doctor’s they would say, “Your blood pressure is a “bit high” and often suggested that I take medication for it, which I resisted each time. I would remind them that I was not overweight, that my diet is healthy, and I practice yoga and meditation and yet, I did not have normal blood pressure.
How scared are we of failing? Of not living up to the perfect image that we have created in our mind and believe others demand from us?
