Leonard Cohen said his teacher once told him that the older you get the lonelier you become, and the deeper the love you need. This is because, as we go through life, we tend to over-identify with being the hero of our stories. This hero isn’t exactly having fun: he’s getting kicked around, humiliated, and disgraced. But if we can let go of identifying with him, we can find our rightful place in the universe, and a love more satisfying than any we’ve ever known. People constantly throw around the term 'Hero’s Journey' without having any idea what it really means. Everyone from CEOs to wellness-influencers thinks the Hero’s Journey means facing your fears, slaying a dragon, and gaining 25k followers on Instagram. But that’s not the real hero’s journey. In the real hero’s journey, the dragon slays YOU. Much to your surprise, you couldn’t make that marriage work. Much to your surprise, you turned forty with no kids, no house, and no prospects. Much to your surprise, the world didn’t want the gifts you proudly offered it. If you are foolish, this is where you will abort the journey and start another, and another, abusing your heart over and over for the brief illusion of winning. But if you are wise, you will let yourself be shattered, and return to the village, humbled, but with a newfound sense that you don’t have to identify with the part of you that needs to win, needs to be recognized, needs to know. This is where your transcendent life begins. So embrace humility in everything. Life isn’t out to get you, nor are your struggles your fault. Every defeat is just an angel, tugging at your sleeve, telling you that you don’t have to keep banging your head against the wall. Leave that striver there, trapped in his lonely ambitions. Just walk away, and life in its vastness will embrace you. -Paul Weinfield, author of The Magpie Art: Gathering the Brightness of Every Day

Chaos is a mirror, reflecting what’s unsettled within. 🌪️ But peace is a choice, and stillness is your power. 🌿 The storm outside means nothing if you are still within. 🌌 Ground yourself, breathe, and listen.... the universe speaks in silence. ✨ It’s not about the noise around you; it’s about the calm you anchor within. 🕊️ #InnerPeace #StillnessIsPower #Mindfulness #Grounding #BreatheDeeply #CalmInTheChaos #SpiritualGrowth #SelfReflection #PositiveVibes #HealingJourney"

🌟 The Power of the Pause 🌟 Sometimes, the most profound growth doesn’t happen in the midst of action... but in the stillness. It’s in the quiet moments... when we pause, reflect, and realign... that we discover what it takes to rise stronger, perform with intention, and embody our wisdom. Don’t overlook the power of stepping back. It’s in these moments that we prepare to move forward with greater purpose. 💭✨ #PauseToGrow #InnerExcellence #QuietStrength #MindsetMatters
