It is possible, from a space of deep commitment, to give ourselves infinite grace (for the bad days, the not-quite-right, the missed opportunities, and even for not showing up at all) without making excuses or giving up. We can be tender and kind with our unavoidable humanity and still hold ourselves accountable.
Stick with it. Stay the course. Get back in flow. Return to the mat. Rise again. Love harder. Come back home to yourself.
By-the-book, as the crow flies, straight and narrow and right on schedule are all ways to reach the finish line. But not the only way. Your way can be soft and strong. Fiercely resolved and full of radical self-forgiveness. Just like you.
