About This Quote

In the book of Tze Yo Tzuh, a sacred text for the Toltec people of ancient Mexico, it states that “To find your true identity within the will of Tze Yo Tzuh...that is the highest of all freedoms.” The idea here is that we must recognize who we truly are and learn to live in harmony with our own nature. We don’t achieve this by staying the same; we achieve this by recognizing our true nature and using that ability to live life with confidence and joy.
