I’ve been thinking about running

Not the kind with trainers and a playlist. The other kind

---

The kind where you’re running from something you can’t quite name.
Busy, always busy. Full diary, full life, full everything; except the thing that actually makes you happy.

Most of us live unconsciously for years.
Some of us, all our lives.

Then something happens. A loss. A heartbreaking moment.
One day when everything’s fine and nothing’s wrong. And yet.

You feel like you’ve hit a wall.
Or life stops you.
Anxiety has been looking for peace.
Emptiness has been looking for fulfilment.

And in that stopping, in the strange, uncomfortable quiet of it something shifts.
Not all at once.
Slowly, and in ways you don’t quite understand at first.

You discover where satisfaction lies . Not the running. The doing.
It’s in the slowing down.
And at that moment of realisation, you finally look around and think oh. 

 You see that everything you long for is actually within you.

---

That’s the ultimate secret of a happy life.
Repeated for thousands of years in every spiritual tradition.
So, now you know you don’t have to go anywhere. 

You don’t need to seek anything else.
You only need to be.

Belonging to yourself.
That’s where your power lives.

Love always
