Elizabeth Clinton

I release my partner
from the obligation to complete me.
I release my parents
from the feeling they failed with me.
I release my children
from the need to bring me pride,
so they can write their own paths
to the rhythm of their hearts.

I don't lack anything.

I cherish my essence,
my way of expressing it,
even if not everyone can understand me.

I learn from all beings,
all the time.

I honor
the divinity
in me
and you.
- Shamanic Blessing

I’m all about it!

❤️Thank you for this Chris Wilcox❤️

And if we are to shine
May we shine as the stars do
Which glow brightly in the darkness
And illuminate the beauty of all that surrounds them

And if we are to heal
May we heal as the forests do
Which regenerate following the harshest of fires
And the coldest of winters

And if we are to grow
May we grow as the plants do
Slowly with stability
Directed toward the light

And if we are to let go
May we let go as the trees do
Shedding and releasing what is old
In order to make the way for the new

And if we are to move forward
May we flow freely as the rivers do
Which surrender to their paths gently without resistance

And if we are to transform
May we transform as the moon does
Which continues to shine in all of its phases
Knowing that it is no less beautiful
When it isn’t perfect or whole

And if we are to live
May we live as those before us did
Bravely, boldly, passionately and purposefully
And may we never lose touch with the dreams that lie dormant within us
Waiting to be expressed and shared with the world.

Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21.

Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow.

Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it.
Never tell yourself you missed your chance.
Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.
You can do it. Whatever it is that sets your soul on fire.
