And there I was, just feeling it all. The sharpness, the pain, the familiar feel of the grieving ache of my heart. The comfort of sorrow, limiting beliefs, and self-deceit overtook me. The yearning, the need to satisfy a void I desperately needed to know was there. I needed to feel my home again. It is here that I found the most revelations..
It hit me like a ton of bricks. Time has a beautiful way of revealing the most precious treasures of your soul. The voice came calling out to me, a tune my psyche was trying to seduce me to believe that I wanted to ignore. But the strength, the reverence, the divine encapsulations of my soul REFUSED to let that voice be ignored.
So I walked straight to her, heart bleeding but with a smile so bright, to inquire what she needed. To give her what she was longing for, that distant feeling of home. I told her… “I LOVE you. You are safe within me. You are powerful. You are a QUEEN. I will never leave you nor forget you.”
And there she wept. No longer from a place of grief, but of cleansing, of renewal, of transformation.
This story, these words, describe the uttermost gut-wrenching feelings of the impact that heartache held on my self-esteem. As I reflect on all of the times my soul cried out to me, craving to be acknowledged, I recall feeling as if my value was meaningless. As if all of the grief, sorrow, and pain that I endured would never receive the recognition it rightfully deserved. I attempted, numerous times, to fill that void with external remedies; validation from my relationships, drugs, alcohol, constantly dismantling myself in order to become a more “acceptable” being. Nothing worked, until I turned inward and faced the storms within.
"You’ll have moments when you feel like a lion, and moments when you feel like a mouse. Just know that no matter how you feel, you still have a heartbeat and a soul worthy of love, so learn to roar even when you feel small, because you are more than the feelings you may have.
— T.B. LaBerge
It’s easy to get lost in the chaos of external opinions, viewpoints, and painful circumstances. Do not let these clouded judgments of despair override your soul! These voices are merely reflections of your inner being desperately trying to fight its way to freedom. Recognize these thoughts, accept them for all that they are, but never forget the true beauty of your human nature.
You see, our conscious minds can become easily influenced by our subconscious (and even unconscious) abilities. Just like the good ole saying, “It’s easier to be pessimistic now than optimistic later”, only we can dictate our realities and what we perceive to be true about ourselves. We can become disillusioned by false pretenses of our own capabilities, our purpose, and our alignment due to the decisions, thoughts, and actions we make daily. Little do we know, we have a powerful and unique life force energy stored in each and every one of us. The same energy that allows the sun to rise and the stars to shine, thrives in the very core of our vessels. Our potential is LIMITLESS.
The power of affirmations has the ability to shape and mold your life into whatever YOU desire.What you SPEAK into existence you manifest, isn’t that beautiful !? Self-love, self-acceptance, and self-worth are essential to the development of your Highest life purpose. Look into the mirror and exclaim to yourself; “I am POWERFUL.”, “I am DESERVING.”, “I am LOVE.”
Take pride in knowing that you are a beautiful, authentic, and abundant being that deserves all of the finest aspects in life! The more you align yourself with your own unique vision, the more you will attract prosperity in all forms.
