The journey to higher awareness and greater awakening is not one all "succeed" through, but it is one the healing warrior understands only too well. Those moments, the breaking, they are never easy, no matter how many times you go through them, or for whatever reason. They are never easy. And it takes a lot of courage to keep going, to bring yourself to continue showing up in the world when you want to disappear from it altogether sometimes. It takes strength to walk among the calm and show nothing of the chaotic storm going on inside, to give a smile because you know that you never know what another may be going through and it could be the difference they need today. It takes more than many may ever know, to process the pain and accept the lesson trying to be taught through it, because you know that you cannot just accept it but have to know it, truly know, deep down in your soul, not only in your head and felt in your heart.
