Week 52: Things You Need to Hear
It's the end of 2006, and this is week 52 of the Yoga of Connection. Some of you have been with this email class from the first week of the year, and others have joined as recently as a few weeks ago. Some of you have been part of this community since 2004, when I launched my first email course.
Whenever you stepped onto this path, this is the point where I step off. Although you won't be receiving weekly emails from me anymore, the path is still there. The part of the journey we've walked together will stay available to you in the form of the community web site, with its archives of every weekly email and guided practices.
The
last homework assignment of this class was to consider what one thing you know
to be true, but need to hear again and again. My own answer to this question has
always been, “Whatever happens, I can handle it,” and one of the most moving
experiences I have had was when one of my teachers said it to me – “Whatever
happens, you can handle it.”
So my end of 2006 gift to the class is this 5-minute podcast – a statement of things that are true, for you, and true, for all of us.
The statements you sent are also listed below. I didn't include the many identical statements I received, but it's clear that many of need to hear the same things -- and more importantly, we know that they are true.
Take care, Kelly You
do not have to do everything. You
are not stuck. Trust
that everything is okay and unfolding as it is meant to, even if it's not the
way you planned! Softness
deserves a space in your existence alongside strength. Softness is not weakness. You
are whole and wonderful just the way you are. Even
though your life is chaotic and stressful right now, it is all worth it in the
long run. You
are good enough, smart enough, talented enough. What your offer already is
enough. You
have a valid, important point of view. You
will land on your feet. You
make a difference and have an impact. You
have something to say. You have a voice. You have something to offer. You
do know what you are doing. You
deserve to be confident. Let
go. You're strong. You can let go now. You
act for the right reason, with right intentions in your heart. Your
own dreams are worthy of nurturance. There
is a place for you. Your
motivation is divine. You don't have to be the expert to do what you love. Your
creation is just as valid as anyone else's. Everything
is going to be all right. The
world is counting on you to step into your power and be the person you are meant
to be. You
belong. You
are OK just as you are. You
will always take care of you, be here for you. You will never let you down. You
can breathe deeply and relax, knowing that this is a perfect moment. It is
enough. Enjoy
the sweetness of quiet moments. Change
is inevitable. All things take their own time. Keep moving. Keep walking
forward. Celebrate the connections you make along the way. You are loved.
