Follow your heart.

If we have something or someone to care about or contribute to, we are wealthy. If we are aware of our breath and our heartbeat and are surrounded by nature and by others, we are wealthy. If we are able to express and take in words that touch to the depths, we have what we need most. If we still have time, we have everything.

It is always worth it to follow our heart. It is worth it to affirm what we wish to foster, worth it to downsize to make more space. Worth it to listen for the truth. Worth it to do what is honorable. Worth it to stand up for our norms and values. Worth it to give a little more each day.

Help me today to be patient if I lose my way in external activity or superficiality. Help me to forgive myself for the times I fall or get lost. Make me grateful for what I have and humble in anticipation of what I stand to lose.
