Don’t be afraid you’re not going fast enough. Don’t be afraid you’re not happy enough, or you’re not learning quickly enough. Everything happens at its right time, and you are in the right place, right now, and you are doing beautifully. Take a small step. Lots of small steps make giant leaps. Open up to the wisdom that is here for you in the present moment. Everything you have ever learned brought you here, to this moment. You are in the right place. You are on your life purpose.
Forgive yourself for not being wherever it is you believe you “ought” to be. Let go of the “shoulds.” Let go of where your loud ego critical mind thinks you should be. And be where you are; stand in that place firmly with joy and love and warmth and happiness for everything you already are.

Life in essence is a treasure and you are here to experience love, life, joy, happiness, peace, growth, all of the good stuff. You don’t have to be anyone else or be anywhere else to live the good life. You can live the good life, starting right now.
