Often times I think we forget the power held in a little serenity. We are always expecting, wanting, striving, pushing for more, for better, or the next best.
On my 12-mile journey this morning, I thought about the power in having stillness, and enjoying what is… in this very moment.
Giving ourselves permission to lift the expectations of what others think is a must. Giving ourselves permission to just be grateful in the moment changes not only the outcome, but allows a clearer view into our own looking glass. It is here where we are surprised at how simple serenity can undo the plans of our destructive robber in minutes.
Waking up clear-headed without a hangover, well-rested, for me is serenity.
Seeing the beautiful sunrise… waving at familiar faces… and getting to wake up and do what I love… is my serenity.
My body was strong today. I felt good and alive and accomplished… yet I surrendered. I allowed the present to just be. I let the “what if’s” go to hell, and the voices of the naysayers drift off to a place I ain’t visiting.
Let it all go this morning. Surrender. Be. Exist. Find your serenity today 💙.
