When our work is truly flowering, we get to let ourselves off the hook a bit and relax. But it's hard to do when we're so used to working so hard! Those parts of us that truly earned the success we're beginning to have need to know it's okay to take some time to rest. Pausing to celebrate the gains we've made helps a lot.

Today, at Substack, I'm writing about the paradox that we face when we engage in disciplined action: to be exquisitely attentive while caring little for the outcomes.

What does it mean to be in the flowering phase of the cycle of manifestation? It's when our efforts finally begin to take notice, and our work does the work for us. We don't have to grind for every gain and hustle for every dollar.

So much of what we put out into the world fails to bear fruit, or fails to flourish in the way that we hoped. That doesn't mean that "you" are a failure.
