🌿 WISDOM & CONTEXT: The Joy in Our Journey 🌿
In our communities, we often hear stories of waiting—waiting for healing, for recognition, for things to get better.
We’ve been taught by society to put happiness on hold until we reach the next big milestone: a new job, a relationship, finishing a project, or some “perfect” version of ourselves. But when we live this way, life becomes a series of waiting rooms, and joy is always out of reach.
Our ancestors remind us: most of life happens in the “in-between” moments. These moments—gathering with loved ones, learning new things, sharing stories, and simply being—are where our true medicine and happiness live.
✨ Bring it into your day:
Take a moment to notice something you’re working on right now. What can you appreciate about the process? Maybe it’s the wisdom you’re gaining as you face a challenge, the laughter in a conversation, or the simple act of caring enough to keep going.
Instead of waiting to “arrive” somewhere to feel good, find a small piece of joy in where you are today. The journey is sacred and happening right now—and it’s the only part that’s truly real.
You are enough, just as you are, in this moment. 🌺
