The World Will Forever Seek to Mold

"Trying to change ourselves doesn’t work in the long run because we’re resisting our own energy. Self-improvement can have temporary results, but lasting transformation occurs only when we honor ourselves as the source of wisdom and compassion."
– Pema Chodron, The Places That Scare You

Self-improvement is not a battle to be fought but is instead a journey of acceptance and understanding to be had.

The world will forever seek to mold us, some hands gentle, others cruel. Yet our truest transformation lies not in the hands of others, nor in our defiance alone, but in the quiet courage to listen inward and honor the rhythm that has always been ours.
