You are carried by more strength than you can see. Your ancestors’ endurance, your breath, your steady heart—they’re all with you. On hard days, lean on them. On gentler days, sing with them. Either way, you are not alone.

Joy is holy because it keeps us alive to love. When I let myself feel it, I find courage for the hard things. Joy isn’t a distraction; it’s a path. Even a small laugh counts.

I used to think gentleness meant weakness. Now I know it keeps me close to myself. It helps grief breathe and joy bloom. It steadies me in truth. Gentle is strong enough to last.

Even if your voice shakes, your wisdom is true. Courage isn’t about being steady, it’s about listening while the tremor passes. You’re allowed to pause and return.

Wisdom is not a race. It’s a relationship you tend. You can begin again at any moment. Beginning again is sacred.

You are not too much. You are richly made. Your grief, anger, joy, and rest all speak in wisdom’s many dialects. You’re allowed to express them. You’re allowed to change your mind. You are allowed to be new.

Some days my wisdom feels like a bell, other days like a whisper. Both are real. I don’t shame the whisper days. I treat them like fog that will lift. I walk slower, breathe deeper, and wait. The bell always returns.

You don’t have to earn your inner knowing. It is your birthright. Even when silenced, it never disappeared. It waited patiently for your yes. Today can be that yes.

I used to think my wisdom was fragile, easy to break. But it has been resilient all along. It carried me through rooms where I was doubted. It led me to people who listen. It showed me that presence matters more than perfection. I’m still learning, but I am not lost.

Before sleep, I thank my body for carrying me. I name three times I listened. I release the moments I missed without punishment. Then I ask for guidance for tomorrow. It’s simple, but it keeps me loyal to myself.
