You don’t have to find alignment all at once.

You find it gradually - in the choices that bring steadiness instead of strain, honesty instead of performance, and connection instead of self-betrayal.

Alignment isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about becoming less divided inside.

And when that happens, life doesn’t suddenly become perfect - but it does become more peaceful, more coherent, and more yours.

As this year unfolds -

May you choose curiosity over criticism. May you offer yourself compassion instead of correction. May you build a year that feels supportive, not performative.

You are not here to fix yourself. You are here to grow - gently, honestly, and in your own way. This year doesn’t need to make you “better.” It only needs to make you more you.

And that is more than enough.
