“I trust the wisdom of my path.”

Tonight is about shifting how we meet our challenges.
Instead of asking,
“Why is this happening to me?”
we ask,
“What is this trying to teach me?”

This small change in perspective creates a huge change in how we experience our life.

TOPIC 1 – The Shift From “Why Me?” to “What Is This Teaching Me?”

Metaphor: Fogged Glasses in Miami Humidity

Here in Miami, you know exactly how this goes.
You walk out of a cold building into the humidity and instantly your glasses fog.
Everything blurs, yet everything around you is tropical and beautiful.
And your attention goes straight to the inconvenience.
“Great… now I can’t see.”

But nothing outside actually changed.
The sidewalk is still there.
Your path is still there.
The world didn’t fall apart —
just your lens did.

This is what the fogged lens teaches us.

When life gets stressful or overwhelming,
we do the same thing.
We zoom in on the inconvenience.
We stare at what’s going wrong.
We ask,
“Why is this happening to me?”

But just like with the glasses,
the more we focus on the blur,
the harder it is to see anything else.

When we pause and shift the question to,
“What is this moment trying to teach me?”
everything opens up again.

Clarity returns not because the situation changed,
but because our perspective did.

That is the shift —
from reacting to the fog
to learning from the moment.

Call to action:
“What is this moment showing me once I look past the inconvenience?”

TOPIC 2 – Rest as Medicine, Effort as Guidance

Metaphor: The Overheated Phone

When a phone overheats, it stops working.
Not because it’s broken —
but because it needs to cool down.
You don’t judge it.
You don’t force it.
You simply give it a moment.

We forget we need the same thing.

Our culture praises effort:
work harder, push more, stay busy.
But your nervous system has its own wisdom.
It tells you when you need strength,
and it tells you when you need softness.

Strong poses build resilience.
Gentle poses build repair.
Both matter.
Both are necessary.

Your body isn’t asking for perfection —
it’s asking for honesty.

Call to action:
“With every posture, I give myself what I truly need.”

TOPIC 3 – Your Energy Arrives Before You Do

Metaphor: The Scent Before the Flower Comes Into View

Sometimes you smell a jasmine flower before you ever see it.
The fragrance enters the space first — soft, unmistakable, clear.
It announces the flower before your eyes ever find it.

Your energy works the same way.

People feel you before they understand you.
Your breath, your pace, your intention —
that’s what walks into the room first.

In strong poses, your energy shows through your steadiness.
In gentle poses, it shows through your softness.

The universe isn’t responding to your words.
It responds to your frequency.

Call to action:
“What energy am I bringing into this moment, and is it aligned with the life I want?”

TOPIC 4 – Outgrowing What No Longer Fits

Metaphor: Outgrowing Your Teenage Shoes

Think back to being a teenager.
We all had that one pair of shoes we loved —
for you, maybe it was your Nike Pumas.
They felt perfect.
You wore them everywhere.
They felt like part of who you were.

But one day… they started to feel tight.
Uncomfortable.
A little wrong.
Not because the shoes changed,
but because you had.

You didn’t do anything wrong.
The shoes didn’t do anything wrong.
You had simply outgrown what once fit.

Life is the same.

Some relationships, routines, identities, or ways of living
were perfect for who you were in a certain chapter.
They supported you.
They carried you.
They helped you grow.

But when they start rubbing your soul the wrong way,
that isn’t failure —
that’s evolution.

The discomfort is the signal
that it’s time for something that fits who you’re becoming.

Call to action:
“Where am I trying to walk in shoes I’ve already outgrown?”

TOPIC 5 – Presence Is the Only Place Life Actually Happens

Metaphor: The Lane-Switching Driver

We’ve all seen it —
the driver weaving, cutting people off, switching lanes every ten seconds,
trying to force their way forward.

But when you get to the next red light,
there they are… right beside you.
Same destination.
Same timing.
Very different experience.

While they raced through the moment with tension,
you enjoyed the music,
the sky,
the simple act of moving forward.

Haste rarely changes the arrival.
But presence completely changes the journey.

Our minds behave just like that driver.
Always rushing to the next moment.
But life doesn’t happen in the next moment —
it only happens now.

This moment is not a warm-up.
This moment is your life.

Call to action:
“I give my full attention to the moment I am actually living.”

🌙 CLOSING

Tonight you practiced more than movement.
You practiced perspective.
You practiced patience.
You practiced listening to the wisdom underneath the noise.

You remembered that clarity comes when you stop staring at the blur.
Rest is not weakness — it’s medicine.
Your energy speaks before you do.
Growth naturally moves you out of what no longer fits.
And presence is where your real life happens.

Carry this with you tonight:

“I trust the wisdom of my path.”

Let it guide you,
steady you,
and remind you that you are always growing toward something deeper.
