Everblooming and Bursting

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.” – Søren Kierkegaard

“Don’t just resist cynicism — fight it actively. Fight it in yourself, for this ungainly beast lies dormant in each of us, and counter it in those you love and engage with, by modeling its opposite. Cynicism often masquerades as nobler faculties and dispositions, but is categorically inferior.”- Maria Popova

Do not succumb.
To the loud empty voices of fear, cynicism, division, discontent.
Build up rather than tear down.
Create rather than criticize.
Fight the good fight.
The sturdy boots of optimism, kindness, hope and most of all love.
To walk in this world with light and joy, ready to do the daily work.
A decision to be made each day of scarcity or abundance, stagnation or growth, fear or love.
The world awaits your full participation.
Overflowing with beauty, abundance and possibilities.
Choose well.

“The world will tell you how to live, if you let it. Don’t let it. Take up your space. Raise your voice. Sing your song. This is your chance to make or remake a life that thrills you.”― Shauna Niequist, Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living
