Don’t listen to all the negative self-talk
stirred up by the chaos.
Go deeper.
When things get difficult
or don’t go your way,
when things take a turn for the worse,
or life hands you an unpleasant surprise…

Pause.
Reflect.
Go deeper.

Reach into your soul
for a
truer,
more genuine,
more loving,
more compassionate
response.

Pause.
Reflect.
Go deeper.

There is depth,
underneath the surface,
unfamiliar,
untapped,
underused.

There are silent,
deeper emotions
that are calmer,
more rational,
more peaceful and accepting.
They are an untapped strength.

Take a few deeps breaths,
Move past surface emotions
Act with grace and dignity and peace.
Act with understanding and acceptance.
Act from a place where our
intelligent,
intuitive,
loving,
inner
selves reside.

All of this is in us…
below the surface.
We just have to
take the time to
go deeper.
