This was very deep for me. I’m the farmer, although I do try to help myself first. I try to help myself using external forces. I never try to trust myself and love myself first. I have to claim ownership over my actions and thoughts and feelings. I’m starting the journey to love myself and discover myself for honestly the very first time and acknowledging myself both good and bad is difficult.
Your meditations have been very encouraging as I continue muster the energy and focus my will on the difficult and exhausting work I must do to meet, mitigate, and prevail the simultaneous onslaught of challenges - physical, financial, AND emotional. Thank you!
Beautiful message with fantastic quotes and examples. Ownership of the judgement of our thoughts and all downstream actions is empowering. Even in receiving support when needed, we are responsible for initially accepting it, learning from it, and capitalizing on the benefit of it. Too many things are outside of our control in this life. Focus on what we do control often leads to improvements in the uncontrollables around us. This all can be practiced, as you highlighted, which is my favorite concept to write about in intentional stress.

I love that you’ve started that journey Mikayla.
You’ll do well.
I appreciate you for reading!

Don’t mention it Nadia. I believe you got this!

Well said Kyle!
The poem by Rainer Maria Rilke (Go to the limits of your longing) touched something so deep in me. Thank you so very much for a lovely article.
I love that it did Bijoux. I appreciate you for reading!
