Courage




"It takes courage to recognize that we are not victims to anything outside of us. Recognizing that we are perfect is one of the bravest things we can do."
- Priya Ishaya

It is so engrained in our habits to look for what is wrong. It takes a strength of conviction to detach from blaming the outside and turn within.

Though the more you rest there in inner stillness, the more you are able to declare from your lived experience that all is well, that there is absolutely nothing wrong.

The mind kicks, saying “who are you to declare such happiness, such freedom?”

The Silence Self, having nothing to prove to anyone or anything, doesn’t stir. It only rests in peace, perfectly.
