Recognize that most oftentimes what is prevalent in your surrounds is simply a mirror of what is within you. That is why the ‘soulution’ to outside troubles come from within, as your soul seeks to empower you by attracting people, places or things that will present you with the opportunities for transformation for your highest good. The source of most outside challenges is found within, created from fears and erroneous beliefs. Move beyond perceived limitations by opening your consciousness to the infinite and allow your psyche to transcend dimensions to the unfolding of new possibilities. It is difficult not to be transfixed by all the things that are going wrong in your life and feel defeated.

Expressing your truth is the right of passage to becoming authentic. Confidence allows you to accept and choose what's best suited to you and not be swayed by societal norms. Living your truth is rightly associated with knowing that you are enough and that you have inherent value. This knowledge always brings forth your innate loving nature, for yourself and by default, others. True understanding is gifted to you by connecting with the innate wisdom that stems from the sacred within you. This connection allows you to attain self-mastery which is key to living your best life. Understanding your true essence is the beginning of wisdom that allows you to experience inner peace which allows you to thrive and affect your surroundings fortuitously. Inner peace liberates you from the shackles of useless worry and helps you to engage fully with life without allowing the intricacies of life to tarnish your shine. Focus on developing new habits that will grow your personage, and elevate your vibrancy, allowing positive and exciting energy to infuse your life, opening more doors of opportunities for you.  

Take the time to pay kind attention to all of you and you learn that aspects that you have feared can become your most admired traits, if you learn how to let it serve you for your highest good. No part of you is there to trip you up. It is your mindset that makes you think you are the slave of your thoughts. When you shift away from that harmful construct and learn self-mastery, you willingly strive towards living from your soul, as your soul is implicit in moving you towards wholeness, towards wholehearted living. To think badly of any part of you is not honoring yourself. Knowing and accepting who you are is the precursor for shifting behavior that doesn't serve you.

It's not how you look to others; it's how you see yourself that matters. How you see yourself impacts how others view you, as they take their cue from you. No more negative self-talk. Be unapologetically comfortable in just being yourself. True beauty is an attitude, so embrace your true self. Believing in yourself references the unconditional recognition and acceptance of who you are; the good, the bad and the ugly attributes of your character. Acceptance helps you gather, heal and integrate the disparate pieces of self into a harmonious whole that allows you to stand in your truth and be genuine in word, thought and deed, no longer fighting or hiding pieces of yourself.  Recognize that authenticity makes you perfect in your imperfections because you live your life according to your own values and beliefs and not to fit the expectations of others. It is crucial that you remain true to yourself. Do not let the challenges and triumphs in your life morph you into something that pleases others to the detriment of your true nature. Growth does not equate to inhabiting an artificial persona, but rather allowing life's experiences to shape you and encourage you to express your truth unapologetically. Recognize that Conformity is overrated. Regardless of where you are, 🆂🆃🅰🆈 🆃🆁🆄🅴 to yourself.

Transformative growth entails divesting one of fakery to express the divine beauty of one's soul. 

When you are attuned to your soul you will be more inclined to do the right thing as the sacred within gives you guidance for your highest good so that you can express the fullness of who you truly are and to command yourself in order to liberate yourself from being bonded to the circumstances and events of your life so that you can blaze forth triumphantly, not allowing the challenges to rob you of your crown of wellbeing. 

Expressing what your heart is full of will stop your mind from dwelling on it. Learn to express them appropriately and harvest their energy to fuel and color your life. This will allow you to move forward in grace, no longer burdened by overthinking, which is freeing in itself. The heart connected to soul bears no malice so will guide the mind to execute actions that serve our highest good. The heart never advocates harm to others or nature, abiding by the natural ebb and flow of life in creating a better life according to the highest good for all. The heart aligned with the soul will keep you on your path of authority, allowing you access to your innate wisdom. Don’t let anyone or anything distract or discourage you from being in sync with your soul and aligning with your truth.

Recognize and understand that ‘hurt people hurt.’  Instead come from your heart. Be loving, be compassionate. Understand that toxicity comes from hurt, somewhere, someway, somehow, they got broken by life. So don't add more pain to them, rather embrace them with love. That does not mean that you must allow yourself to be treated in a bad manner. No. Build healthy boundaries. Deal with that relationship with courage, love and compassion. Leave others in a better emotional space than how you found them, as the emotional imprint you evoke in another is forever, thus be mindful of the energy you bring to another. Know that People are gifts that God places along your path to help you find yourself. No one enters your life by accident. It is only through stripping the self of the protective barriers that you built against life and love that you experience and appreciate the wondrous divine essence of creation. Love elevates allowing connections and is the glue that creates and binds community. 

Learn to open yourself up emotionally to receive the sweet fruit of love and belonging. Recognize that Love forces you to step out of your comfort zone and inspires you to extend yourself for the benefit of another and inspires you to do the necessary to uplift another. When caring inspires you into Doing something to help another; it elevates your sense of well-being and fosters a degree of inner tranquility based on the beautiful love and compassion humanity holds.

Love is the force that transforms a zero into a hero. It brings our best qualities to the surface and drives us to be the best we can possibly be. Recognize that the act of loving is never a loss. Understand that the wound of unreciprocated love demands the inward journey that brings healing and enhances your capacity to love again, fearlessly and unconditionally.  

Love is a strength. Love is the ‘why’ of life. It answers the why of your existence as the myriad forms of love refines you, ridding you of the dross that buries your true essence. Love ignites the warrior of light spirit within you that recognizes that love conquers all; that it is your destiny. It is love that gives you the strength to get out of your comfort zone and dare to blossom into the fullness of you by living your life wholeheartedly.  Therefore, let love underwrite your every thought, word and deed, knowing that it will give you the necessary strength to live your best possible life.  

Love is a powerful force gifted by Divine grace. It cannot be demanded, commanded or bought at any price. When you live and move in love you become in sync with the sacred that allows you to surrender to the universal flow of life. You will find your strength in love which will allow you to ‘Let Go and Let God.’

Cloudscapes remind me of the shape of life, the colors testament to the ever-changing emotional landscape dealt to us. Make like the clouds, weather the storms of life with grace. Keep going; adapting, changing, always moving onward, refusing to be defined and typecast by any one storm. Instead, process, heal and integrate your experiences understanding that life is full of surprises, anything is possible, nothing stays forever, everything changes. This will allow your experiences to enrich your being with the vibrant colors of life. 

You will be ok. Empower yourself by Remembering how far you have come and all the things you have accomplished despite the challenges. Embody that spirit that got you through those hardships and out of your bed each day no matter how hard it was or got. Remember how your faith carried you through the hard times forcing you to get up again despite or in spite. Your faith found a way out of the impossible. So, hang in there, you can and will do it again. Know that you are enough and that you possess the qualities to get you through this difficulty again. Repeat after me "I've got this"
