Break free and release people, situations and things which have been holding you back from moving upwards and onwards with your life. Break away from your comfort zone, limitations and taking chances to broaden your horizons in search of new experiences. 

Be true to yourself by bringing out your authenticity by choosing soul truth. Become the person you are meant to be by doing what your heart desires. Nourishing your soul means to love yourself unconditionally and wholeheartedly. Practice gratitude. Gratitude trains your brain to let go of negative thoughts and look for things to be grateful for instead. Connect with something greater than yourself. Be compassionate to yourself and others. The more you'll allow your soul to be in peace, the more you'll be able to achieve what makes you happy 

To align to your soul is easy, just Follow your bliss. The practice is dropping the ego, that is dropping self-concern, the sense of being separate from everything else, and returning to wholeness with everything. Letting go of your ego can also mean letting go of the need to always be right. When you let this part about having an ego get out of control, it means that you're never willing to back down or let yourself admit when you're wrong, even if you let yourself get hurt in the process. Whenever you feel disconnected and separated from people incorporate love, happiness and encouragement into your everyday to heal that sense of disconnect and this will facilitate changes that will see you being more creative, joyous and openhearted. 

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. One of the biggest reasons why ego is your enemy is that it keeps you out of touch with reality. Your ego is what prevents you from hearing critical but necessary feedback from others. Ego makes you over-estimate your own abilities and worth, and under-estimate the effort and skill required to achieve your goals. 

When you have a big ego, you'll spend a lot of time worrying about what other people think. You'll do just about anything to be held in high regard, even if it means compromising your values. When you have mental strength, you'll be more concerned with your character rather than your reputation. When you identify from your soul you live and move in love and your awareness allows you to consider the needs of both the collective and yourself.

May you find inspiration in these quotes to choose the path that feeds your soul. Trust that you will find the necessary encouragement to seize the gift of each new day to begin again the exciting journey of becoming you whilst consciously living and releasing the best that is within you. 

Body is purified by water. Ego by tears. Intelect is purified by knowledge. And soul is purified with love - Ali ibn Abi Talib 

Though Your ego is an essential part of your mind it’s imperative to not let it dictate but instead let it be of service to the heart to prevent it from being self-serving. It is your soul that is the driving force of your life as its primary directive is to return you to Source by always endeavouring to return you to your true essence, which is unconditional love. Your soul attracts the people, places and things that will help your elevation to your truth. Crying brings emotional balance as it allows you to release overwhelming emotions such as anger, sadness and despair that skewers your perception of what is. This allows for intuitive understanding to seep through and bring clarity. Just like everything looks fresher, cleaner and brighter after rain you too will feel calmer and filled with restored trust and faith, that whatever your situation, you WILL be ok.

Your ego prompts you to boast of vain assertions to obtain the glory of this world. Turn away from vanity and seek Him in the recesses of your heart and soul - Abdul-Qadir Gilani 

Say NO to your ego and intentionally connect with the sacred allowing your soul dominance as it Chooses not to engage in drama and toxic energy. 

When you have a big ego, you'll spend a lot of time worrying about what other people think. You'll do just about anything to be held in high regard, even if it means compromising your values. When you have mental strength, you'll be more concerned with your character rather than your reputation Understand that it is not the happenings in your life that shape you but your response to them that determines the quality of your character and life. Love informs your very existence allowing you to find your strength in love so that the happenings on your earthly sojourn will not break you nor imbitter you, but instead elevate you, connecting you with the sacred within you. An inflated ego can lead you astray, destroying relationships, and ruin your life by inhibiting success. Ego separates you from the sacred and is the number one enemy of compassion. It is Ego that births that mindcreature named arrogance which is structured on an extrinsic sense of worth as an acquisition nature gets you validation from outside sources which is never enough. True confidence emanates from the soul and is founded and build on true acceptance and appreciation of yourself 

Freedom means the power to act by soul guidance, not by the compulsions of desires and habits. Obeying the ego leads to bondage; obeying the soul brings liberation - Paramahansa Yogananda 

The soul conspires to direct you towards situations and people that will facilitate healing and growth to ensure you thrive on your earthly sojourn. The soul seeks release and delight in nurturing experiences that exude positive energy in order that you can grow, flourish and bloom wherever life situates you. The ego seeks to possess especially the material which brings about a change of heart; beyond the egoic mind and into the sea of consciousness that shatters the illusion of separateness and unveil to you the oneness of everything. Let go of your ego and take a step forward toward true happiness. Feeding your soul is about taking steps to feel at peace with yourself, wherever you are in your life at this moment in time, whether things are going well or you're in the midst of challenges. Too many of us continue living without expressing how we feel about the people or situations in our lives. The soul is fed by expressions of positive emotions, like love, joy, gratitude, and passion. To align to your soul is easy, just Follow your bliss. Become present by being mindful, Meditate, Read about personal growth and spirituality. Become aware of your heart. 

The Ego is a veil between humans and God. In prayer all are equal - Rumi 

It is love that makes the heart radiate like the sun bringing hope and joy into your existence. The absence of love equates to a disconnect from your soul and by default, Source and causes emotional numbness leading you to try and think your way through life which makes for a mundane existence devoid of joy as it is Love that allows you to experience the beauty of life. It is love that strengthens you to keep your heart open and love generously despite the pain of defeat in love because each heartbreak acts like a catalyst that breaks down barriers that impede your ability to love unconditionally. It is LOVE that connects you to the sacred which strengthen you to unveil your true self; for love sets fire to your soul, purifying you as it burns away all that is not you, allowing you to blossom into the fulness of you and radiate all your colours unapologetically; knowing that the only acceptance that counts is your own. Tears restore the soul by letting it release overwhelming feelings leaving you calm as the emotional storm has spent itself; washed away the debris ready for your soul to be restored just like the rainbow signals everything is going to be ok, after a rainstorm.   

The ego relies on the familiar. It is reluctant to experience the unknown, which is the very essence of life - Deepak Chopra 

By neglecting the feelings emoted by our soul we become emotionally bankrupt and fail to recognize that the mind should be in service to the heart; for only then can we live as one, connected heart to heart through the universal flow of love. Know that the heart is the translator for the mind; translating messages from the soul. The heart connected to the soul bears no malice so will never advocates harm to others or nature, abiding by the natural ebb and flow of life, 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. 

Your naked body should only belong to those who fall in love with your naked soul - Charlie Chaplin 

Have discernment to Recognize the people that nourish your soul and those that deplete it. When you heed the advice of your heart you are indeed following the guidance of your soul as it is trying to bring you back to your truth. Do not let the opinions of others distract or discourage you from your journey back to self, have faith. Look around and see loving couples venerating each other despite their bodies not fitting society’s ideal . You see true love is totally accepting as you look with your heart and not only your eyes. Your union is based on a soul-heart connection, which is not dependent on the shape of your body or the look of your face. Recognize that it is your inner state that is the deciding factor, as far as attracting true love is. True love looks past so-called imperfections as the attraction is the beauty of your soul and heart. Look on these experiences as lessons that you need to learn for your own growth. Cultivate discernment in knowing what serves you and allow you to soar and what hurts you and puts you in chains. Being grateful for every opportunity, every setback, and every blessing in your life is key to elevate and stay in grace. If you are able to see your life as full of abundance, you will feel less desire to fill it with things that do not bring your soul happiness. 

The soul is the truth of who we are - Marianne Williamson 

Your heart is the conduit that brings unity between spirit and matter, which allows you to experience the sacred within. Heart-centered living is defined as living in alignment with your true self; that is, from your soul. You permit love to underscore your every thought, word, and deed. Do not confuse being heart-centered with being weak or overly emotional. Being heart-centered equates to being a warrior of light as it allows you to deal with the agonies and ecstasies of life in accordance with the guidance of your higher self. It takes formidable fortitude to remain in your truth and rooted in love when dealing with the vagaries of life. You are no longer dependent upon others or material things to bring about happiness, peace, or acceptance because you've strengthened that on your own. Remember, your ego is not the enemy. This is about opening your heart even to your own closed-hardheartedness. Be compassionate to yourself and others for the more you allow your soul to be in peace, the more you shall achieve what makes you happy. 

When the ego dies, the soul awakes - Mahatma Gandhi 

Make this the year that you start heeding the guidance of your soul by asking yourself “what does my heart say my soul needs. "The heart feels what the mind cannot see as it is the link between spirit and matter for it translates and emotes to the mind the guidance of the soul. When you live and move in love you become in sync with the sacred within you 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.’ Know that when you are rooted in love you understand that your ever-changing life circumstances is designed not to break you; rather your hurt acts as a furnace that burns away the dross allowing you to love with generous abandonment which returns you to yourself, to your authentic self that embodies unconditional love. The principal needs of the ego are survival, safety and security. The soul creates the ego around the age of two to act as a buffer to protect itself from the pain of separation it experiences when it is operating in a three-dimensional material world. The soul is a true reflection of the Spirit, and is therefore pure. In a worldly person, the ego is the guiding principle of all thoughts, feelings, and aspirations. As your ego dies off, you start to live from a place of more love and light and you elevate into a new way of being, more in sync with true nature, occupying a higher vibrational state. 

Ego says once everything falls into place, I will find peace. Soul says once I find peace, everything will fall into place - Unknown 

When you are attuned to your intuition you will be more inclined to do the right thing as the sacred within you give you guidance for your highest good so that you can express the fullness of who you truly are. Inner Peace is not the absence of challenging situations but the ability to tap into your sacred self to intuitively guide you through these challenges without compromising your truth. Recognize that the ego lives in fear and the soul lives in love. The ego is a person's sense of self-importance.  

 Know this, that inner peace allows you to intuitively act in accordance to your highest good and infuse you with a deep sense of calm and fullness of joy, even amidst chaos and turmoil. When you do the right thing, you will enjoy the sense of serenity and perfect peace that accompanies it. Peace of mind is not depended on your external circumstances. Quietude allows you to go within and connect with the sacred that resides within you that gifts you the intuitive comprehension that worrying offers no solution and sickens your body, mind and soul. Comprehend that worrying is a mind coitus of the highest order as it doesn't solve any problems but instead rob you of enjoying inner peace. This understanding that nothing outside of you can affect your true essence serves you into living wholeheartedly and unapologetically, not allowing outside circumstances to rob you of being at ease within yourself. 

It’s better to cry than to be angry, because anger hurts others while tears flow silently through the soul and cleanses the heart - Pope John Paul II 

Know this, crying allows healing tears to course through your drought-stricken soul. It washes away the debris of suppressed feelings and waters the soul to reset. This allows new seedlings of love, hope and faith to grow so that you will be okay. Crying is the organic response to release overwhelming emotions to prevent emotional imbalance and is a welcome release for an overwrought soul as it speaks volumes when your pain mutes you.A good cry is healing as you will feel spent, somehow lighter and a calmness descend over you as your unburdened psyche resets. When you heed the advice of your heart you are indeed following the guidance of your soul as it is trying to bring you home, back to your truth, to yourself. Do not let the opinions of others distract or discourage you from your journey back to self, have faith. Crying actually brings relief to a broken soul. It is a means of escape from the shackles that tie you to misery. Tears allow for emotional breakthrough to occur, which allows for deep understanding to blossom forth.
