Daily Reflection — Yoruba Yogi
This morning felt like another doorway into a new level of peace. The cold was sharp on my skin, but my spirit felt warm. I woke up around 2 AM, walked around to get my body moving, and then settled onto my yoga mat. The moment I began stretching, everything became quiet. No fear. No panic. Just gratitude.
My life right now is full of uncertainties — where things are heading, how everything will unfold — and yet I feel an unbelievable calm. A calm I cannot explain. Years ago, this situation would have sent me into fear. Today, it feels like surrender. It feels like trust.
What amazes me the most is how yoga has become my anchor. Every morning, in the cold, under the stars, I get on that mat and enter a different world. It’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, but something about practicing in the cold makes me feel more alive, more connected, more awake. This is the first time in my life I’ve stretched like this every morning with nothing around me but silence and breath.
I’ve let go of everything. I don’t know where the future is going, and strangely… that feels okay. I’m tired of the usual conversations — people telling me to just follow the common path or do what everyone else does. My spirit has outgrown that world. I’m ready for something deeper: creation, purpose, leadership, building something meaningful. I don’t want survival talk. I want vision talk.
And maybe that’s what this peace is — the moment when the old identity falls away, but the new one hasn’t arrived yet. A space where all I can do is breathe, stretch, listen, and trust.
I don’t know what’s next.
But I know I am becoming.
I know I am being guided.
And I know gratitude is shaping me into the man I’m meant to be.
