I see so many people seeking — seeking so hard to find peace, coherence, and meaning. Looking outside themselves — in others, in modalities, in anything — to relieve the discomfort and find inner peace.

We can learn all the things and practice all the things. But in the end, it’s only up to us.
We are the experts in ourselves.
We are the only ones responsible for our inner peace.

It’s not until I am back home, the doors closed, the house quiet, that the feelings begin to surface - if I allow them.

I am tired. And if I am honest, I don’t want to feel these feelings either. But I know better.

I know they will force themselves out in unhealthy ways if I don’t make room for them.
What we resist, persists.

When we don’t hold our boundaries… when we say “yes” but mean “no”… when we ignore that quiet inner voice, we often start to feel resentful. And what do we do? We blame the person who overstepped the boundary that we didn’t enforce.
