When it feels like your life is being destroyed, know that Lord Shiva’s gaze is upon you. For He is the destroyer not to end you, but to recreate you. From the ashes, you will rise and leave your mark on the universe.

न मैं पुण्य हूँ,न पाप,न सुख न दुःख,न मन्त्र,न तीर्थ,न वेद न यज्ञ, मैं न भोजन हूँ,न खाया जाने वाला हूँ,न खाने वाला हूँ, चैतन्य रूप हूँ, आनंद हूँ, शिव हू
I thought peace came from control, controlling outcomes, thoughts, even letting go. But real letting go felt like falling, like losing. Now I’m learning that peace doesn’t come first, discomfort does. But if you stay with it, something calm follows.
The most self respecting thing you can do is to never ever settle for the bare minimum in any part of your life. The universe hasn't set a budget to manifest so ask more, dream big and be mindful about what you have. 🍃
Emotional maturity is knowing people had whole lives before you. Don’t rush to pour your heart out. Enjoy the moment, stay true to your comfort, and step back if there’s no real connection. Be a little vulnerable, but save your full heart for when trust and alignment are clear.
