Your smile is a miracle
Your lungs and heart are miracles of life
To be alive is a miracle in itself
You don’t need to strive to become something
You don’t even need to strive to be a
Buddha (awakened one)
Deep down you already are one
You are already successful as you are
You are a miracle of life
The entire cosmos came together to create you and all living beings
The sun, moon, stars, bacteria, plants, water and numerous animals all had to come together for you to be alive here and now
The paradox of life is once you accept yourself as you are today with radical transparency, then you can heal and transform
So accept yourself with deep loving kindness
Shame, hatred, and violence will not heal yourself and the world
Only true love can
