There was a long period in my life where I carried the world on my back, mistaking over-responsibility for Love, for acknowledgment of worth, for purpose. As a child, I believed it was my duty to smooth the turbulence of my surroundings, to ensure the comfort of others at the expense of my own. It felt like a sacred obligation. But the Truth—the liberating, soulful Truth—is that I was never meant to carry burdens that were not mine. I have since unraveled the knots of that weight and placed it down with Grace. Now, I walk lighter, my Spirit unshackled, my Love for others no longer intertwined with Self-sacrifice, but with Divine Clarity and Balance.
I once shrank under the warmth of praise, unable to receive it without suspicion or discomfort. Compliments felt foreign, as though they belonged to someone more worthy, someone more deserving. In the dim corridors of my past, recognition was expressed resentfully, achievements were overlooked or met with indifference. Thankfully, I stepped into the Light of my own Brilliance, recognizing that my worth is not conditional, not something to be earned but rather, is something inherent. When words of admiration come my way, I no longer deflect them—I let them land, settle, and nourish the Truth that I am, indeed, a Masterpiece of Divine Creation.
Boundaries were once an unfamiliar landscape, a place I feared to tread. I was the ever-yielding tide, shaping myself to fit the needs of others, dissolving at the edges to avoid upsetting the fragile balance of their moods and mindsets. But a river without banks becomes a flood, and I learned that without boundaries, I was drowning. With devotion, I cultivated the strength to stand firm, to declare what is Sacred, to say ‘no’ with Love and ‘yes’ with intention. My space is mine to honor, and in doing so, I have discovered a deeper reservoir of Peace than I ever thought possible.
There was an era when the word ‘failure’ was my silent companion, whispering doubts into my ear, anticipating disaster even in moments of calm. I lived in readiness, waiting for the next storm, the next upheaval. But I have come to know a greater Truth—fear is not a prophecy; it is merely a shadow from the past. I have learned to meet it with understanding; to greet it like an old traveler and bid it farewell with Loving Kindness. The unknown (where my beloved Creative Freedom resides) no longer holds me captive; it invites me forward, into possibility, into expansion, dancingly.
Trust was once a foreign tongue, a language I could not speak fluently. I had learned to build walls so that even Love had trouble scaling them. The wounds of betrayal had taught me caution, but in my quest for safety, I had exiled myself from True Connection. I have since dismantled those walls, brick by brick, opening myself to the Beauty of Spiritual Trust, not as blind surrender, but as a Sacred Act of Discernment. I have come to see that Trust is not about guaranteeing safety—it is about choosing to embody Universal Law, incessantly.
Perfectionism is an asylum built from the belief that flawlessness is the currency of Love. Perfection is an illusion, a mirage that keeps us chasing an ever-retreating horizon. I embrace the Unconditional Love of imperfection, the Art of Being beautifully, wonderfully, unapologetically me. In my flaws, I enjoy freedom. In my mistakes, I cultivate growth. In my authenticity, I Love God.
For too long, I played the role of the peacekeeper, silencing my own needs to maintain harmony, mistaking compliance for kindness. But true Peace is not the absence of conflict—it is the presence of Truth. I reclaim my voice, honoring my needs without guilt, knowing that my well-being is a Sacred Right.
And finally, the most profound healing of all—I know that I am worthy. Worthy of Love, of Joy, of the Boundless Blessings that Life offers. No longer do I seek to earn my place in this world, for I understand that I have always belonged. Worthiness is not something to be attained; it is the foundation upon which we stand.
Healing is not about erasing the past, but about alchemizing it into Wisdom. I have walked the path of Self-healing, and in doing so, I have discovered the vastness of my own Divinity. My journey is a beacon, a light for others who seek to liberate themselves from the echoes of their own past. I stand here now as one who has transmuted profound suffering into Power, into Love, into something Luminous and Unbreakable.
Please take these Wisdoms from my journey with you: You are not your past. You are not your wounds. You are not the weight you have carried. You are a radiant being, capable of healing, of transforming, of soaring.
May you walk forward knowing this Truth, may you embrace your own Sacred Path, and may you rise into the Boundless Brilliance of your Soul.
