whatever brings you pain today,
whatever encourages you to give it a hard side eye,
whatever causes you to squint in bewilderment,
whatever is the reason behind you sucking your teeth + rolling your eyes,
whatever you feel compelled to use choice words with due to your overwhelming frustration,
whatever it may be, fam —
approach it with a peaceful protest within yourself.
listen: shit is gonna irk you.
life experiences that go against your core values can irritate you at any given moment.
okay… +? so what?
you can feel a way about it + you can also accept that it’s happened + decide to not to react in a way that goes against who you are at your core.
today, take peaceful action.
approach what you’d normally flip out about with compassion + grace.
when all is seemingly falling apart around you, you be a peaceful presence in the midst of the chaos.
in the midst of a trying situation, in what ways is it helpful to react with irritation, disgust, + annoyance by saying demeaning words or being ready to pop off when you’re already on high alert + acute awareness that life ain’t lifin’ the way you want it to life? what does it truly solve?
diffuse the situation with a peaceful persona.
when you feel wronged, frustrated, or overwhelmed, you may be tempted to go to the lowest pits of earth + even further below, but don’t fam.
find your peace + let your peace engulf you + overcome you, + protect it with all your might.
your peace is your power. use it.
be you, be dope!
