TWBH, The Way Back Home- Indelible Ink for Eternal Truths

Hello,

It's Sunita here.

Self.

Inside.
Inwards.
Our core.
Our essence.

We experience the world, and every single moment of our life, only, from this place.

No one else knows what it looks like, or feels like. Only we do. No one else gets to experience our inner world. It is the place where we are truly alone.

But it has become a place for many of us where we are lonely, and in pain. So, we abandon it, thereby abandoning ourselves.

That is understandable. Because, who, in their right mind wants to suffer?

But, what we must understand is that we will never regain our freedom, peace or connection to ourselves, and others, by exiting or ignoring our inner world.

We will instead, put ourselves in a never ending state of exile.

There is only one way back home.

The Way Back Home is inwards.

We must find love and compassion for ourselves there. We must reconnect with our inner lives. We must find the infinite beauty that lies within us. We must reclaim the love that resides in us. 

We must become love. 

We must understand that we were created to be enough. 

Always. 

Enough.

Enough in every state of being.

Enough at every stage of life.

We are precious.
We are divine.

I AM
LOVE
ALWAYS
ENOUGH

Thank you, Dan, for your exquisite artistry, and our many conversations.

Until next time,

Moving forwards,

Sunita

A Necessary Paradigm Shift for Our Survival -The Time Has Come!

Hello,

It's Sunita here.

Accepting our whole self.

Respecting our  whole self.

Seeing our brokenness.

Embracing the darkness within us.

Realizing that we are perfect, just the way we are. At this very moment. Without further improvements or changes.

Accepting ourselves wholly at all times.

Loving our whole self.

Celebrating the light and darkness within us, and outside of us, for what opportunities they offer.

Becoming more every day, by pushing ourselves past who we are today, from a place of self acceptance and self love.

That is the journey we are meant to be on.

The pressure to be ‘perfect’ and high achieving in our society is brutal. It comes often, with a huge price tag. We must learn that self disgust, self hatred, greed, competition with others, and someone else's expectations do not have to fuel us to do more, and become more.

Becoming better every day, by pushing ourselves past who we are today, from a place of self acceptance and self love is a holistic and sustainable practice of joy.

We must come to understand, and believe that we can accept, and love ourselves, for who we are, at this very moment, and still, be restless for growth and change.

Instead of feeling we are not enough, it is more compassionate and productive to know that we are more than who we are today.

    

We can be on a journey of self improvement and meaningful achievement as a statement of the value, we believe to rest in our potential.

Moving forward from a place of, and through the practice of SLSCF, Self Love Self Care First is TWBH, The Way Back Home.

Something to think about!

Until next time, 

Moving Forwards,

Sunita

Oliver Sacks Gratitude Helps Me Get Back to My Light

 Hello,

It's Sunita here.

'Gratitude' by Oliver Sacks.

Dr. Oliver Sacks expresses his gratitude in this book, for a life well lived.

His, was a life of unending curiosity about this universe, and all that it contains, a life spent on seeking meaning, giving back in multiple ways, understanding himself and others, and sharing his brilliance, and rich gifts, through his generous living, and of course his prolific writings.

 I read this short quote of Dr. Sacks often (but I feel, not often enough).

I read it especially when I am feeling disillusioned, blue, unfulfilled, bored, entitled, sorry for myself, stuck, unmotivated, and envious of others. I ask myself at such times,

 Am I behaving like a

Sentient being?

A thinking animal?

Am I aware of my great fortune of getting to live on this beautiful planet?

Am I paying attention to the beauty that surrounds me?

Which part of this great adventure am I rejecting right now?

What illusions and desires are making me dismiss this enormous privilege?

It’s a mind and heart opening exercise, that always starts out as being uncomfortable for me.

But when I’m honest with myself, it gets me back on track to being connected with the infinite beauty, and abundant opportunities, that lie just beyond my bubble of self- created suffering.

I realize then, that I have unique gifts to discover within me. I must get on with the fortunate business of living, and seeking beauty on this amazing planet.

And most importantly, I must work on sharing my gifts with others. That's a privilege that we all are given. It's up to us to accept it gracefully.

Until next time, 

Moving forwards,

Sunita
