Luminosity with Tuesday Rivera (!!!)
“Happiness Lies Within”
This is the most important truth that my spiritual master bestowed upon me.
Years later, Elizabeth Gilbert (stop! I can hear some of your eyerolls!) expounded on the same teaching by reminding us that we tend to treat happiness like the weather. Like something that comes and goes. Not like something we get to nurture and cultivate.
Like a luminescent truth that radiates out from our core.
If you’ve been with me long enough you know that I am a very positive guy who does not believe in toxic positivity. We are here to live life on life’s terms. And life’s terms include devastating loss. I aim to live face forward without flinching before life and all that it brings.
But I still get to experience a source of happiness that lies deep within me. That is my very nature. That allows me the capacity to get through the hard parts.
When I am doing healing work with others, I am prone to remind them that they are “self-luminous.”
YOU are Self-Luminous.
Self-Luminous Like the Sun
The sun is its own source of light. There is nothing else lighting it up. This is just like the happiness that lies within each of us. Not the fleeting happiness of the good times. The high. The high I’ve been chasing most of my adult life. No. Not the happiness of moments. But the happiness of knowing and of being your truest Self.
THIS happiness is a lighthouse. It is the light of our fullest expression. And it lights the path for others.
No matter what you do from here. Please take a moment to contemplate these twin truths.
That happiness lies within
That you are self-luminous like the sun
The Luminosity Intensive
This note is about Tuesday’s upcoming Luminosity Intensive, a transformative 12-week online journey designed specifically for women who are ready to embrace their true essence and illuminate the world with their light.
(Hang in there for a second, brothers!)*
For new readers, Tuesday Rivera is my wife, my love and my light. Here you have a video of my most recent podcast episode. We devote the first ten minutes to the specifics of the Luminosity Intensive. But the rest is a rich conversation on what it takes to find this light. And to dare to share it.
*Brothers, you can join the Better Men Project, free of any charge at any time. But! April is an especially good month to start attending (or come back!) our monthly calls. We will have wrapped up our long and slow study of King, Warrior, Magician, Lover. And we will start working with Sebastian Junger’s book, Tribes.
