For so long I thought that I had to live the life I was given. I knew that I wanted certain things but I couldn’t see how I’d ever be able to achieve that.
Most of us grow up in a town, a city, a society where we constantly feel like we’re not enough. I always thought when I get to the next level – when I get that job, car, house or relationship then, I’d finally love myself. But as I achieved certain things, the feeling of not being enough seemed to get bigger.
So I started working on myself. I took all of that energy and invested it in me. And it was the most difficult thing I ever did. It’s like trying to walk in a pool.
Shadow work
Some of you may have heard of this concept. This is literally when you try to face your demons. It’s a different process for different people.
For me, it meant dealing with layers of childhood issues. It meant going back to the very first moment I felt like I wasn’t enough. When you remember that moment, feel that feeling then you start your process of healing.
You have to release that energy, pull it out of you. Forgive yourself and others, and know that you will do better now.
Embrace your light
When we’re at our low points we feel so alone. But that’s never the case. There’s always a higher force living inside you.
It took a lot of releasing before I began to see my potential. And when I did I knew I wouldn’t be going back.
I’ve lost a lot of people along the way, because they only saw what I was and not what I could be.
Your purpose
Coincidences rarely happen. If you’re still reading then this post was always meant to find you.
The answer you’ve been waiting for is, you can have it all and still be happy! The only thing stopping us from living an extraordinary life is the mindset we choose to stay in.
I know I’ve been there. I used to complain to my sister all the time, “I can’t do this! I can’t work with others! I want freedom but I also need money. How will I live in society? How can I actually help others or have a big purpose if I’m living in this lack?
So she told me to ask the universe my question and actually listen for the answer. And when I received it, it seemed so obvious. So I put in the work. I went after my dream. And all those things I thought were impossible, I now have it.
I really want you to know that everything you want is possible! But you have to really want it. You have to want it for you.
Think about achieving something major but you can’t share that news with anyone. Would it still mean something to you? If the answer is “No” then you don’t want it for the right reasons.
It’s time for your journey now, and yes you may lose some people. But the ones who you need will come and find you.
Feel free to comment if this post came at the right time for you and how you’re now going to start living the life you want.
Much purple light and love
