If we focus only on the end goal, we get stuck—take a break, reflect, and creativity returns.” “It’s not about suppressing thoughts, but seeing where your energy is going. Meditation helps you notice, honor, and let go.” “Interconnectedness—remembering our stories are all woven together—is the lesson that leads to a fuller, happier life.” Resources: Visit Johnny Scifo’s Website Follow Johnny Scifo on Instagram Follow Johnny Scifo on Insight Timer Follow Johnny Scifo on Substack Get "The Kettle Pours a Universe: A Novella" on Amazon
