New week, new opportunities and make it happen.

You are complete, enough, and worthy.
Never abandon yourself or settle.
Walk alone for awhile when necessary.

I love Chapter 23 of the Dhammapada titled, "The Elephant"

Here's an excerpt: ( remember in those days the language was sexist always using man)

"If the traveler can find
A virtuous and wise companion
Let him go with him joyfully
And overcome the dangers of the way.

But if you cannot find a
Friend or master to go with you,
Travel on alone---
Like a king who has given away his kingdom,
Like an elephant in the forest.

Travel on alone,
rather than with a fool for company.

Do not carry with you your mistakes.
Do not carry your cares.

Travel on alone
Like an elephant in the forest."

(You deserve people in your life who don’t have misconceptions about your personality or intentions.-unknown)
