and so it is. - White T-shirt

She declares it so... and so it is! "Doubt and fear (not the survival kind that keeps you from walking down a dark alley at night- you should listen to those) are like wisps of smoke. Truly. The only thing that gives them weight and significance is the constant sustenance of our attention. . But what if there were another way. What if we neither had to reject or silence that doubt or fear. What if we used its arrival as a signal of hope and life instead of dread. What if that internal resistance actually became, instead, our power; a pivotal, golden opportunity of choice where, instead of being victim to it, we now get to *decide* where our attention goes. . Do we continue to feed the fear and doubt, or do we choose for something greater? . And what if that choice were a simple one, choosing between peace or pain? Not necessarily always easy, because it takes a courageous heart to finish this journey (sometimes that held position can be so deliciously righteous, or the past hurt feels safe in its familiar pain). But in its truest form, it is a simple choice. . What if it were so? Would you do it? . And so it is and so it shall ever be. Walk with a courageous, open heart. Be a lighthouse. Live a life on fire with fulfilled purpose. Make kindness louder. And don’t ever let something as insubstantial as smoke diminish your greatness. . (Thank you Nina Alyssa, for the beautiful shirt. It is perfect.) . #litlyfe #presentmoment #momlife #meditation #andsoitis " - Melissa C.O.
