Inner light

You live, and in your life, you create, you progress. If you stop out of fear, you’ll never discover what could have been, be it good or bad. Every experience helps you with the next part of your journey, regardless of what the journey is like, regardless of whether it’s through darkness or through light.
That inner spark, your inner light, can never be lost, and your events are just stones along the way, bearers of messages. Don’t grow attached to results, only to the moment.
Every attempt to escape yourself brings trouble in some regard. So, don’t try to run from yourself and what has been placed on your path. Instead, enjoy the new experiences; become the experience itself.
You learn who you are through people and situations. If someone told you the truth all at once, you’d have difficulty accepting it, understanding it. This way, you slowly release all the layers which you don’t need and accept what is inside you, what you truly are.
That journey has its lows, but you shouldn’t focus on them; they’re just life lessons. The more attached you grow to them, the more they become part of you. In a way, you make them part of your records and make it possible for something similar to come around another time. If you look at them and see them, but not take them with you, you’ll allow your wisdom to grow and give yourself the freedom to exist without unnecessary burdens.
Look at your being every day, bit by bit, allow it to live with all its aspects, with all the events which are found around it. Don’t judge that being or the events; allow everything to pass through you. In essence, you’re a form of existence that is sufficient unto itself, and which carries within itself the inner light of its existence. Everything which is external is just a material depiction of your life, and all the thoughts which come up, all the fears and doubts, are just passing instructions that you can follow to make your next move and obtain new experiences.
So, go further, knowing that you’ve always given your best. That’s the only thing you should respect in relation to yourself: always give your best. That way, the results you achieve won’t be something you’re unable to understand or something you’re unable to accept with love and gratitude. That way, it won‘t matter to you what your results are, but rather, you’ll feel peace and joy because of yourself and your life. That’s the moment when you’ll know you’ve succeeded because success is nothing more than an inner peace, peace with yourself and with everything that surrounds you. It’s less important what that success is wrapped in; the wrapping paper is just a collection of earthly values that are unrelated to the settings of your being and all that is primal within and around you.
So, live and allow your life to unfold; allow yourself the freedom of joy and sorrow, of everything you’re capable of creating, and enjoy it. Surrender to it entirely, nothing more, nothing less.
