you are the light


“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

Tyler, the Creator’s new album starts with this message from his mother, who acts as his guide throughout the album.

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.


See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

There will be opportunities to quit and go back to the comfort of the known life you are trying to leave behind. Not quitting...

I hope you had a great weekend! If you read the Daily Notes over the last couple of weeks, you know I shared that my body was telling me to rest, and I know when my body tells me that a wave of creativity, momentum, and growth is coming in all areas of my life. Well, the creativity is back full force. For example, last week, between Roman's basketball games, one of his teammates joked with me about another friend wanting to meditate with me. I know Roman and Leo's friends are paying attention...
