You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.”- Brené Brown

Love is foundational to your very existence and thus rooting yourself in love is turning back to Source. Your decisions are what fleshes out your life story. Enjoy the process of creating your life.

Experiencing your emotions doesn’t equate to being ruled by them but using it to get a sense of your environment and the people in it. Emotions are there to alert you to the subtle psychic nuances that your other senses are not privy to.   Work on processing the hurt, the pain, the anger until you get to a space where you can forgive and let go, no longer triggered because you have dealt with the trauma in a manner that returned you to being rooted in love. Do not neglect yourself, stay true to the rhythm of your heart, and connect in oneness with others so together we create a symphony of beats that celebrate not denigrate us all.  

“Turn your wounds into wisdom.”- Oprah Winfrey 

Letting go of the splinters of past hurts is to understand the lessons that it taught you and then make a deliberate decision that holding on no longer serves you. It prevents you from moving forward to where future joy is awaiting you. Realise that it is keeping you stuck in misery. Especially since the perpetrators of your pain has long moved on. The realisation that only you are keeping yourself stuck in your private hell should serve as enough impetus for you to let go. It all comes to you making the decision and following through, recognising that not removing the splinters is preventing you from living wholeheartedly and robbing you of future joys. Removing the splinters of hurt is akin to liberating yourself from the mental cage of endless looping pain, long after the event. So, decide to do what is good for you by allowing healing to occur. Healing is just a thought away as it's your thoughts that's keeping you suffering. Suffering occurs when you stay stuck by refusing to forgive and move on. No event you survived should define you by keeping you entrapped.  Shake it off. Explore the situation to gain clarity, acknowledge you have learnt the lesson it was meant to teach you and move on no longer crippled by pain. Know that better things are awaiting you. Gathering the pieces of self into a harmonious whole allow your words and deeds to be in alignment with your psyche and this congruency infuses you with integrity, as your inner experience mirror your outward expression allowing you to “walk your talk.”
