Even the simplest things can awaken awe within us. While enjoying a moment of warm sun on our skin, we might then ponder how immense and powerful the sun must be to bring light and life to this planet. While watching ocean waves, we might imagine the countless multitudes of life forms swimming and growing under the surface. While resting the body, we might wonder at all of the involuntary process happening within to keep us alive, like the heart beating, blood circulating, cells repairing, and lungs breathing. Every day offers magnificent moments of awe if we’re open to noticing.

​In its purest sense, potential can be defined as unformed, unmanifested possibility. It is the action that arises from stillness, the inspiration that arises from nothing. To rediscover our unlimited potential, we rest into ourselves and remember that we live and breathe all the magic of the universe.

We tend to be swept away into waves of thought and emotion, often feeling adrift at sea. To feel more empowered, it can help to remember that you are the entire ocean of awareness—observing surface waves yet deeply calmer within.

Enlightenment is not a goal or something to strive or hope for. Enlightenment is fully and completely being who you are, where you are. You are already the entire universe, the macrocosm within the microcosm.

​Being might be described as "resting in your essential nature." Letting go of wanting some other moment—some other reality—opens the space for being. Being and your essential nature contain unlimited potential for doing.
