Sometimes “please don’t touch me” is a boundary. Sometimes it’s avoidance. This reflection explores congruency, embodiment, and what it means to live aligned in mind, body, and spirit, not just thought.

Some people may see me as ungrateful.
In a moment, that might even be true.
But one moment does not define a whole person.
I can honor my feelings, act in alignment, and release the need to control how I’m perceived.

Congruency isn’t selfish. It’s honest.
In the moments I choose myself: my thoughts, my feelings, my actions. I also chose connection.
What we call luck might just be alignment compounding over time.

Not all luck is instantaneous.

Some luck is the long game.
The more congruent choices I make—aligning thoughts, feelings, and actions—the more “lucky” I become.
The jackpot wasn’t random. It was built.

I can be annoyed that I had to repaint my kitchen and be deeply grateful for the men who rebuilt it. Congruency is holding both. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. It can be learning and loving….at the same time.
