Sometimes I will read a book and it seems the biggest impact was one line or one paragraph. The following was my biggest takeaway from “Way of the Peaceful Warrior” by @danmillmanpw ... Every time I read it, it moves me and I weep a little. At this point in the book, the main character after learning and growing, wishes he could whisper this in everyone’s ear as they walk past him: “Wake up! Wake up! Soon the person you believe you are will die- so now, wake up and be content with this knowledge: There is no need to search; achievement leads to nowhere. It makes no difference at all, so just be happy now! Love is the only reality of the world, because it is all One, you see. And the only laws are paradox, humor, and change. There is no problem, never was, and will never be. Release your struggle, let go of your mind, throw away your concerns, and relax into the world. No need to resist life; just do your best. Open your eyes and see that you are far more than you imagine. You are the world, you are the universe; you are yourself and everyone else, too! It’s all the marvelous Play of God. Wake up, regain your humor. Don’t worry, just be happy. You are already free!”. -April❤️ #inspirationbyapril #wayofthepeacefulwarrior #danmillman #warrior #peace #free #identity #letgo #excerpt #impactful
Today was overcast and gloomy. Then you step outside and see this. Like life. It gets dark, heavy, hard ... and just like that, you look up and there’s a little bit of light again. That’s where I’m at right now. -April❤️ #inspirationbyapril #gloomy #mood #dark #light #grief #overwhelm #life #perspective #itgetsbetter #thesunalwaysshines #afterthestorm
Warning: This post contains the “S” word. Repeatedly and emphatically. If you’re offended by the “S” word, this is your opportunity to stop reading. Today while talking to my sister Dana, I coined a new phrase: “Showing up in my shit”. Life can be full of messy, dirty, hard shit. Shit that breaks your heart, shit that makes you feel like you want to die, shit that brings you to your knees. I am so incredibly grateful for the people that show up in my shit. The really really hard stuff that makes you question everything. That’s the shit that will separate people in your life and the people that are the real deal rise to the occasion. They meet you in the middle of your shit. They love you and support you no matter how ugly it is. People that show up in your shit don’t have be blood related. Hell, you don’t even have to even know them. I’ve had years of shit I’ve worked through in my personal life, and I’m beyond grateful for each and every beautiful person that supported me through it. So, those people that show up in YOUR shit- keep them close-those are your people. Thank you all for the love you have shared with me the past week- especially the people that showed up in my shit and didn’t run. Now somebody put that on a T-shirt! 😂 Much Love ❤️ -April❤️ #inspirationbyapril #showingup #vulnerable #beingthereforsomeone #love #friendship #support #showingupinmyshit #realtalk #reallife #realshit
