your beauty takes nothing away from your intelligence. your desire for luxury takes nothing away from your enjoyment of the dirt and the earth. your curiosity takes nothing away from your conviction. your willingness to explore takes nothing away from your ability to focus.
it is all a matter of integration—of learning to embrace, accept and embody the qualities we fear will make us “less of” something else that we value being.
existence is not binary. you do not need to live in a world of duality. you can be all of it, shed all of it, reclaim all of it. the tension comes from resisting what we already are—and the abundance comes from allowing ourselves to be exactly that.
