FOR AUGUST

Let this be the month you focus on what is meaningful and worthwhile right here. Amidst all of the things that you have to do, could do, or feel like you should do, may you know that you are still free to come alive right here, by engaging in this present moment with purpose and intention, however, you can.

Just as the sun doesn’t rush its ascent but steadily illuminates the path ahead, you are allowed to build momentum over time as you move through each day of the month.

Your intentions and efforts matter right now, even if this year hasn’t delivered the results or outcomes you were looking for. As the sun continues to rise and your heart continues to beat, the ways you are learning to be present amidst the waiting and amidst all that is unknown matters more than you know.

May August be a winding path where you feel free to engage in the present moment however you can. May it be a space where gradual progress is welcome, and you’re able to build momentum over time, just as the sun rises in the sky. Amidst the endless cycles of things to do, let what is meaningful and worthwhile be found in the slow and steady wherever you find it. This might feel like such a small thing, but this art of coming alive right here: finding value in gradual progress, recognizing the importance of your efforts even when they’re small, and finding meaning in small acts.

Let this be the August you welcome focus, engage, and welcome steadiness and meaningfulness right here, where you are.

More tomorrow…
Sincerely,
Morgan Harper Nichols
