Morning Jonathan! 🫶🏼 I see it so much now & I try to let it go, but you just can’t change the way people think. We should care about each other more. Maybe the world would be different. ♥️

It’s hard to understand why people choose not to care when others are hurting. No matter what the reasons; there will always be people who just can’t or won’t be concerned for anyone other than themselves. Practice self-preservation, protect your peace & avoid the selfish ones.

At the end of the day, you’re so exhausted with stress & decisions, that you’ll want to cry. And thats okay. Let it out. Let those tears wash the horrible day off your skin. But know this; you are courageous & wise. Be proud of who you are. Be you, unapologetically.

You want to shield the ones you love from pain. So, you intercept every possible path of difficulty with ladders & parachutes. But enduring those hardships is what prepares them for the times you can’t be there. Sometimes you have to let go & focus on self.

There are some fears that are not irrational. Maybe they exist to protect you from making a bad decision. When your intuition causes those anxious feelings, at least listen to the message & see all outcomes. Protecting yourself from harmful situations is not overreacting.

Our workshop applied urushi lacquer to a piece created by local artist Takayuki Matsumine. The piece features many small skulls painted using the maki-e technique.

Sometimes you’ll find ‘your thing’ & it just works. But instead of continuing to vibe & thrive within that passion, you decide to expand on it. You’re ignoring the original spark & now you won’t have time for anything else. Only do what you can handle effectively.

Still thinking about the argument with your friend? It’s hard to let go. But if you decided not to speak to each other again, take the lesson & move on. Having the same group of friends your entire life is rare. Allow yourself to be fluid with the people that cross your path.

It doesn’t take much to make a person feel included at your table. All that’s required is a kind word & some understanding. But there are people who make an extra effort to exclude others from their table. By sitting at the table with them, you’re eating from the same meal.

Perfection is a myth. You’re going to stumble sometimes. You won’t always say or do things to the expectations of others. It’s impossible to fix everything. But, you’re enough. You always have been. And I’m not giving up on you.

Eventually, you’re going to have some negative experiences. But living in fear daily that something bad will happen, takes away your joy of the present. Put your energy into living your best self each day. Peace of mind will be your shelter when the storms come.

People know when you fake enthusiasm. If you’re in a career that makes you unhappy, coworkers & customers notice. If you’re in a relationship that is emotionally weak, your partner feels neglected. Try not to make others suffer for your misery. Find passion or direction soon.

If it was time for you to do something different in life, would you recognize the need for change? Are you truly fulfilled with what you’re doing now? Change won’t always be comfortable. But growth requires change. Don’t miss an opportunity to make this happen.

Thank you kind friend. I just want people to know they are loved. Hopelessness surrounds us & we need to see we aren’t alone. 🫂🫶🏼

You will rarely see a truly compassionate person boast about themselves. They know there’s wisdom in silently supporting others. They care more about trust than notoriety. Seek out these gurus of benevolence, they are your safe harbor.

Can we talk about that thing you’re nervous about? Take a few deep breaths. Remember, anxiety can sneak in even when you’re prepared for a stressful situation. Just take your time, make notes about what you want to say or do & be gentle on yourself. You’ve got this. 💛

Ruminating on every mistake that eventually led to sorrow won’t change what happened. Looking back on the happiness before things fell apart won’t recreate that feeling or fix things. But you can build a new life now. And perhaps, it’s closer than you think.

Sometimes you’ll get a chance to smooth things over after a disagreement. But you’re so determined to win the argument, that you refuse to give in. There’s no reward for being stubborn. But the gift of friendship & love is immeasurable.

Your capabilities can remain trapped inside you for many reasons. Perhaps fear of failure has held you back. Maybe you find it hard to trust in yourself. You have abilities that are unexplored & are waiting patiently for you to discover them. I’ll never stop believing in you.

Until you accept each phase of life you travel through, you’ll continually be asking yourself “are we there yet”. You’re just impatiently waiting to get somewhere instead of shaping your journey with purpose. Be mindful where you are now.

We try to shield ourselves from harmful toxicity online or in our lives. But all too often we miss, overlook & forgive incidents that others are being harassed. Don’t let complacency cloud the judgment of integrity. Protect the vulnerable in your communities.

The original folding screen painting is by Sakai Hoitsu 酒井抱一, and it is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
His works are elegant and have elements that resonate with Art Nouveau.

Sometimes a task can look so difficult that you’ll give up because you can’t see the finish line. But you’re only looking at the ending. Broken down into parts, suddenly things become possible. Focus on one area & build confidence before you move to the next with patience.

It’s important to set boundaries between yourself & the potential for negative interactions. Whether it’s social media, family relationships, your hobbies & career; take back control of your mental & physical health. You never have to apologize for practicing self-care.

It takes awhile to realize when you’re going through a shift in priorities. Things that used to be important in your life begin to fall from favor. Purpose is always weaving new threads throughout your journey. Release your grip on the familiar & let it guide you.

I love when you make something and like, you know it's something you love, but you wonder what the rest of the world will think of it. And it turns out they like it too. You have brought joy to someone. There is an indescribable happiness in that.

Someday, you will feel brave enough to voice your truth. Perhaps it will come after years of being treated with disregard. With that truth, you are pulling back the bow of suppression & releasing your arrow of existence. Truth spoken through pain has power.
