When I am crippled by the fear
Of what others may think of me
The kind teacher speaks these words:
Your power lies within you.
Life endowed you eons ago.
Your work today is to know this deeply.
Your power does not lie in the minds of others - you do not need their approval for what you already posses.
As you practice today keep your attention on giving, on being generous without the conditionality of it being reciprocated.
In this moment now and in this breath you are free.
