I really miss the times before COVID

"Everything I was so diligently searching for outside of myself was actually within me all along." "As we got to know the world, our focus shifted from being fully present inside ourselves to being more focused on the outside. In that disconnection from ourselves, heartache began." "You have to find your fulfillment, your fullness, and your wholeness within yourself, and then bring that into your relationships." "If it weren't for heartache, we would never be driven to find our way back to ourselves." "We lost our connection to ourselves when our focus wandered into the world. So if you sit with your heartache, it can guide you back." "Fall in love with what seems like boredom. True peace comes when there’s nothing going on-it’s deeply restful and incredibly fulfilling." "Do nothing, because that’s where your balance lies." "If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s likely because you’re thinking too much. Survival mode makes you want to control everything, but the only thing you truly have control over is your inner self. Trust in the universe-it has been unfolding perfectly for a long time." "If you want love, peace, and inspiration in your life, focus on where those things exist. They’re not on the surface; they’re deeper inside." "What do you want most? Whatever it is, give it time. Cultivate it. Make space for it." "The only true freedom we have is where we choose to direct our focus." "Understanding isn’t enough. You have to be what you understand." "We get good at what we practice. Right now, we practice overwhelm, even though it’s harder than finding peace. We just go there more often because it’s familiar." "I am here not to judge, but to love. That’s a powerful standard for every human being to live by."
