The journey of self-discovery and personal growth is an essential aspect of your spiritual journey. It requires you to confront your innermost fears, limiting beliefs, and self-doubts to reclaim your true self. Reclaiming your authentic nature is not a passive process but an active one that involves aligning with your inner wisdom, regulating your behavior, and choosing responses that are intuitively synced to your highest good. 

To reclaim your true self, you must first recognize that you are all possibilities, not limited by others' expectations or societal norms. Allow yourself the luxury of expanding and growing according to your inner knowing. Focus your energy on being in service to love and making noble choices to reclaim your majesty. By doing so, you will learn to let go of people, places, and things that do not resonate with your higher self and attract like-minded individuals who support your growth and evolution. 

It takes courage to let go of the past and embrace the unknown, but it's never too late to start anew. Start by focusing on becoming still and going inward, connecting with your innate wisdom to receive guidance from your higher self. Cultivate your personal power to reclaim control over your life and dare to do things differently to manifest your dreams. Remember that your well-being falls on you and focus on improving and enhancing all aspects of your life to live a life of satisfaction.

"The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love."- Marianne Williamson. 

Learn to stop blaming something or someone, including yourself, for life’s mishaps. Acceptance without blame is the beginning of discernment. Know that love will birth action that creates new possibilities whilst fear will let you stay stuck as you can only see difficulties and not opportunities when you look through the lenses of fear at your circumstances. Do not allow your colors to fade but do the necessary inner work to make sure you bloom in all your glory. The acceptance of love imbues you with the necessary fortitude to cultivate patience as well as the impetus to strategize how to right wrongs and to envision what is needed to birth forth a better life. So do not shrink in fear but let your inner warrior blaze forth and shine your light fearlessly on areas that need change. Love enables you to see with your heart the opportunities that lie buried in challenges and motivates you to get up and take action on those opportunities.  Love inflames you to action the changes you innately know will birth a better life. 

“You, being yourself, unknowingly inspire others to be themselves.” —Mooji 

The best gift you can give the world is to be who you were created to be, being true to yourself. You have to know yourself in order to be and live authentically. Edit your life so that you can reconcile your bits and pieces into the whole of your original self so that you can focus on living your best possible life. Relieving yourself from negative thought patterns will allow you to see how fear, stress and anger warp your mind. Make sure the way you present yourself to the world is in alignment with your truth. Do not compromise yourself by conforming to others' expectations, as it does not serve your higher self to play small. Life rewards you with wisdom when you overcome obstacles that allow you to shine your hard-won understanding like a beacon to help others to traverse successfully similar situations. 

“If we’re really committed to growth, we never stop discovering new dimensions of self and self-expression.” – Oprah Winfrey 

Constant growth in your personage is a requisite to ensure you progress to your destiny of ultimate fulfilment.  Life is about constant change to ensure progress. Recognize that your mind is Divinely appointed as your creativity source. Therefore, guard it zealously by controlling what you allow into it. Only allow the thoughts that will allow you to create masterpieces and not catastrophes. Overhaul your life by recognizing that you, only you possess the power to strategize and take deliberate action to align your body, mind, and soul so that you can live your life wholeheartedly, knowing and accepting that every decision you make shapes your life, either into a dream or a nightmare. The choice is yours. Your mind is the genie that can make your dreams come true or turn them into nightmares. That is why you need to take control of your thoughts. Each new day is an opportunity to start afresh, a new beginning gifted by the Divine. Shift your vibrations into a more positive direction to stay balanced and prevent you from spiraling into negativity. You cannot grow without changing, progress is dependent on change, therefore learn to embrace change, not fear it. Growth, your growth in particular is the very reason for your life journey. It shapes you into who you are meant to be.  

“The shadows fall behind you when you walk with the light from within.” ~ Lakota 

Start treating yourself like the priceless treasure the Divine created you as. Remember the Sacred is expressed through all aspects of you and your life. Unfortunately, the happenings in life tend to separate you from your true self. Never hesitate to bloom, wherever you find yourself. Show all your colors to the world today. Don't wait for better circumstances as tomorrow is not guaranteed. Ditch the idea that your happiness depends on the actions of others. Take responsibility for your own state of mind and become determined to keep yourself in a happy state. Know that your relationship with yourself is the only factor that determines the quality of your life. Connect with your inner self, your soul by doing things that make you giddy with joy, that fulfils you and is in alignment with your true purpose. Remember it is your faith in the Divine and in yourself that fuels you. Faith is your power source, the soul-battery that keeps you going, enabling you to take leaps of faith over life’s hurdles, so ensure you keep it fueled. Fuel it with uplifting thoughts to keep it going. Actively look with your heart for the love, light, and blessings arriving in inconspicuous ways into your everyday. Transform yourself into the warrior that you are. Keep on going, you, warrior of light. Let your light shine. Just Do what you can with what you have and keep going. You got this!   

“Let go of who you think you’re supposed to be; embrace who you are” – Brené Brown 

Dig deep within yourself to restore yourself to yourself. Not speaking your truth and acting like a doormat does not serve you and may impact your mental health in the long run. Self-knowledge helps you to make better choices and decisions and to live a life in accordance with your core values.  The thought is the seed that will generate the necessary action that will allow you to grow into who you are meant to be. Remember that tomorrow is the promise of a brand-new day. Unshackle yourself from yesterday knowing and understanding that each day brings a fresh opportunity to progress.  Celebrate yourself, you are precious to God and your personage is greatly valued. Becoming self-aware through paying attention to what resonates with your soul places you on the path of authenticity. 

“People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person, or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.” – Plato 

Realize that when someone does not value you, speak up, or walk away, or do both.  Making excuses for bad behavior invites more of the same. Choose to take charge of your life, by maintaining and enforcing healthy boundaries as you should, as we all should. If their behavior indicates that they do not value you, then walk away. Your presence is a priceless gift; treat it as such by removing yourself from those that show no appreciation. Avoiding conflict by allowing others to override your decisions is not a good move, as it gives them carte blanche to step and wipe their feet on your dignity. You should view it as a direct attack on your boundaries as they are dismissive of your wishes.  

Only invest in relationships that welcome all of you, wherein you feel no need to hide pieces of yourself. You are not honoring yourself, by permitting others to treat you in a disrespectful manner. Remember and comprehend this truth and apply this truth religiously in your life. When you must compromise yourself to make a relationship work, it is a deal breaker, not an option. This is where the importance of self-love comes in. Self-love is the stepping stone to becoming assertive by setting and maintaining boundaries. This will lead to healthy relationships with others. Each relationship teaches you something about yourself and helps you to recognize your worth, so each relationship plays a role in shaping you and moving you forward to understanding yourself better. Remember each experience affords you an opportunity for growth. Take it and get back into the maelstrom of life and love, knowing better and more about love, life and yourself than you knew before. Have faith that the Divine has your back and that when a relationship breaks down, it is for your highest good. Let go and let God is your trust in life made manifest. Sometimes one refuses to let go, holding on because one fears there is nothing better out there.  However, hindsight always shows that once you let go, what you receive is much better than what you have lost.  

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”— Dr. Seuss 

Facing and accepting the reality of a situation is the genesis of your strength, blessing you with the power to do the necessary, even if it means walking away. This will allow new possibilities to come into your life once you become unstuck from toxic relationships or situations. Expressing your truth is the right of passage to becoming self-actualized. Realize that you can decide at any point in your life to live your life in accordance with what resonates with your higher self and enjoy living a more authentic life.  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.  When you show your true colors, it enhances your relationships as they are forged in truth, because you do not need outside validation to feel good about yourself. Know that the healing journey helps you to bring the disparate pieces of self into a harmonious whole which allows you to say what you mean and mean what you say. Recognize that this congruency infuses you with integrity, which relates to a life approach where your actions and words reflect your beliefs, allowing you to be genuine, which is a much-admired character trait as not everyone is brave enough to be honest and forthright in word and deed.
