It’s okay to spend years learning how to walk a spiritual path, but still display non-spiritual emotions when something knocks you off your path.
It’s okay to be enlightened, but still express strong opinions.
It’s okay to be calm, but still show anger.
It’s okay to be happy, but still feel sorrow.
It’s okay show courage, but still admit to being afraid.
It’s okay to love, but still feel hate.
◊♦◊
Why?
It’s part of being human.
It’s what we signed up for.
This experience is what we wanted.
So, embrace the totality of who you are, even if you think you don’t know who you are yet… or even if
you’re redefining what it means to be you.
It’s okay… because you’re here. Completely, fully here. Right now.
All of you.
Embrace your experience and love it.
Because it’s okay to be human.
