Sunday Reflection – October 12, 2025 posted 19 October, 2025
Sometimes we do — a lot — out of fear of not doing enough, and yes also just because we want to, hard to miss this or that, prospect of so much fun!
We fill our days with movement, decisions, projects, and answers, thinking that action itself is the proof of purpose. And yes, there’s truth in that: opportunities don’t last forever. People change, doors close, timing shifts. The person who once said “yes” may no longer be there, the place might no longer exist, the moment might simply pass.
So yes — when something calls to you, when your heart whispers go, don’t wait forever. Act. Try. Jump.
But also — and this is just as important — sometimes the real wisdom is in not jumping.
Some opportunities shimmer like gold, but they are not meant for you — not yet, or not at all. The fear of missing out can be so loud that we forget to ask what we actually need. We confuse urgency with alignment.
Letting go of an opportunity can be an act of power, not weakness. It can be the quiet strength of saying, this isn’t the right time for me, or this doesn’t align with who I am right now.
Sure, there are moments to push yourself beyond comfort, to stretch into growth even when it’s exhausting. But doing that non-stop — chasing every open door as if saying no means disappearing — will only lead to burnout. You can’t live on high alert forever.
So breathe.
Trust that what is truly meant for you will find you — maybe later, maybe differently.
And when you let go, do it without remorse, without regret.
Because the greatest strength lies not in doing it all, but in choosing — consciously, calmly, and courageously — what truly matters to you.
And let me add : see the big picture, in the end the only thing we truly control is ourselves and the actions and reactions we have! That’s the beauty of freedom of choice, free will! Remember to trust that H. has your best interest at heart so breathe in breathe out, up you grow!!!
Wishing you a peaceful Sunday and a beautiful week ahead — with love and light,
