Dearest One,
From an early age, you are taught to believe your value as a human depends on external factors such as how much money you earn, your accomplishments, what you look like, and how others perceive you.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
You enter this world worthy, and you will exit it worthy. Your worth is constant and eternal, and it does not diminish over time.
Once you accept this truth, you free yourself from the bonds of societal, familial, and peer pressure. And then something magical happens: You become fully free to bring forth the divinity within you and manifest your destiny.
Your authentic life is just around the corner. Ready to make the turn?
With endless love,
The Universe
Dearest One,
No matter how hard you try, you can’t please everyone. The sooner you accept this truth, the faster you will free yourself from the grips of an unsolvable puzzle. Your life isn’t meant to be a collection of nodding heads, offering you their approval as you move from one day to another. It’s a customized journey, crafted especially for you, and the map is in your hands.
Like a siren seducing you with its song, the opinions of others are just that—opinions. What they believe is good or bad, right or wrong, is personal to them. Don’t let the noise sidetrack you from your true purpose.
Only you know the way forward. Have confidence in yourself and stay focused on the path ahead. As long as you’re listening to the guidance within, you’re on the right track.
With endless love,
The Universe
Dearest One,
Before your birth, you were here with us. As a spiritual being, you instantly manifested whatever you set your consciousness to. You did anything you wanted, whenever you wanted. You never lacked—in fact, you didn’t know what lack was.
But your soul began to crave contrast, something it did not understand. It wanted to exist in the physical sense without the ease of instant gratification. We told you, “On earth, you can still manifest and create, but it won’t be effortless. As you settle into your physical body, you will forget about this world and the magic all around you. There will be times you will receive the opposite of what you want. Remember each block in your path represents an opportunity to learn and grow. We will be here for you throughout the entirety of your journey, never leaving your side. However, unless you teach yourself to be an open receptor, you won’t be aware of our presence.”
You excitedly agreed, and we fulfilled your wish to be born. Of course, you don’t remember that conversation, or being in spirit form. And as a human, you’ve certainly had your share of challenges. But today we want to remind you that, like a seed taking root in the earth and sprouting, your soul is currently expanding. Even when life feels confusing and difficult, nothing is without purpose. There is a plan for it all, and we are here to guide you every step of the way.
With endless love,
The Universe
