Did you know you would weigh less on the top of a mountain than at sea level? For those seeking the higher levels in life, this is some good scientific information to ponder. You know why? It makes every uncomfortable moment worth it. It merges science with spirituality. There are so many examples of when we give up right when things get tough, really unbearable...if only we had taken that last painful moment for it is almost ridiculous how that last step leads to the very euphoria we were seeking. You know deep inside there is always a voice that speaks very loudly...the one that says, "You can't do it. Just stop here and turn back." You also know deep inside there is a counteractive voice that says, "This ain't no thing. You've got what it takes to supersede." The wisdom we are left with? Life is simply a choice of which voice to listen to. It becomes obvious that establishing a practice to lift that higher voice in strength is the answer to this lightness we seek. The very steps we take to open our doors the moment we wake. That moment when our eyes flutter open in a new blessed day and our thoughts start racing...we have that choice to take a moment to inhale deeply and stretch each muscle we've been blessed with...take that extra minute to look around and absorb all that we've already accomplished to be alright...smell the sweetness of being alive. From the clothing that may be laying on our floor, to the water you just may have set next to your bed if you need a sip during the night. It's all us...it's all you....and YOU are beautiful just the way you are. Know that you deserve to sit on top of that gorgeous mountain and let it all go.
