Been meaning to document this for years, but Q spends time fasting for 3 days at the beginning of July. This year, he and I spent time building on it together and unpacking what it means to reconnect with self and to focus in on particular principles each day. Reconnecting with purpose. While I didn’t fast from food, I found other ways to practice mindfulness and build for me.
Determination – 2022, by Q
Determination is what pushes me through to the other side of my goals. To set a course and move out on it, no matter the weather, this is the human capacity of determination. I, for myself, have determined a course to a higher, more whole self. But only once the mind is free, only then, can it follow through on its desires with determination, and makes them manifest.
Determination – 2023, by S
Determination is as grounding as it is fleeing. It is a force that can only stand to push forward.
Do not be afraid of determination because it exists, be aware and recognize that it exists when you create it. Do not be afraid because it cannot be contained in time. It cannot be rushed, it cannot be rewound. It can only be now, in this moment, and the universe will guide you the rest of the way. There are no limits.
Your Loved One, Q
