Lake Meditation: An Uncompromising Vision

That cliff side spot,

The beautiful view of the lake.

Today's meditation is going to be dedicated to the pursuit of your vision.

I would like you to begin just by attuning to your breath.

Just noticing the quality as you breathe in through your nose or mouth.

And as you exhale,

Just feeling that deep release.

Just continue that rhythm,

Gently turning the attention inward.

I would like to remind you to pursue your vision,

And pursuing your vision with an uncompromising dedication.

Knowing what your vision is,

And knowing what your vision is not.

You don't have to compromise your vision.

And I feel this practice of not compromising your vision,

It's not just about your future or your dream.

It can be about creative projects or where you feel at peace.

For instance,

Today,

I kept on searching for the right spot to play this meditation.

Noticing there was a lot of things that weren't quite right.

Not enough,

Or too much,

But I continued to pursue this vision.

And just openly,

Mindfully noticing what emotions arise when I begin to doubt myself,

Or doubt this process of creation.

Doubt myself and my ability to birth these ideas as I see fit,

Wanting to compromise.

But the artist doesn't need to compromise their vision.

This is how you know that it's an important vision.

This is how you know this is your mission.

And when you don't compromise,

This vision that is an extension of you,

You'll be glad that you waited.

You'll be glad that you moved through the resistance,

The doubt.

And that's where you are.

Thank you for joining me and taking a moment to reflect.

Just meet yourself where you are,

Whether it's by a lake or in the stillness of meditation.

Or in the turbulence of the everyday.

Remember your uncompromising vision and pursue it.

Namaste my friends.

Take care.
