Your words always hit me in the heart. The biggest take-aways for me were "honor my limited capacity and trust in divine timing." - as someone who views herself as limitless, this was a nice grounding reminder. It also synchronistically connected with a note I made from a book I'm currently reading 'Starry Messenger' which said that "sometimes limitation is put in place to save your life". I thought how you can also applying this to "slow you down", which if you look at it from a health perspective, is saving your life. I also love the prompt to measure worthiness on how many times I've laughed or thought of something I'm grateful for - it takes me out of success as something that can be tangibly measured and instead felt. Thanks Mariah 🌼

I now see that cultivating a wholehearted life is not like trying to reach a destination. It’s like walking toward a star in the sky. We never really arrive, but we certainly know that we’re heading in the right direction.” -Brené Brown Great quote and I agree the bond between productivity and worthiness is part of our faulty conditioning. Thank You
