“You are the light.
It’s not on you.
It’s in you.
Don’t ever you in your life, dim your light for nobody.”
- St. Chroma, Tyler, the Creator

It’s an excellent message for all of us to remember because maybe we’re in a position where light seems to be shining on us, or we’re chasing others who we think have light shining on them. We need to remember that the light is within us, so we don’t need to ever worry about losing it or needing to chase it—it’s already here. We just need to find it within and let it shine. JC |

Depending on where you are in your Pursuit,...

When I heard Frigga say this quote to Thor, I sat up a little taller in my seat—she had my attention. I...
This morning, my friends and I did a breathwork session, which has become something we do each year we make the trip. Before we started, our guide was talking to us and said something that stood out to me: “We should love people for who they are, not just accept them for who they are, because that brings acceptance, which implies judgment. We should just love them for who they are.” I’ve never really thought about how acceptance, which we take to be a positive thing, still implies some sort...
