Go Deep to Find Your Bliss.
Life can often feel chaotic. Unbalanced. Stressful.
Try and see that it is just on the surface.
Stop frantically treading water just to stay afloat amidst the craziness.
Instead, choose to go deep.
Deep down, where the restless tides abate.
Deep within, where inner calm resides.
Where bliss can be found.
