choose you.

what if the universe gave you everything you wanted and nothing you needed, like a bad parent? review your personal haves and have-nots with discernment. your most important gifts may be hiding just beneath the surface of your greatest disappointments. what comes to you easily might be hiding all the ways you unconsciously starve and betray yourself.

has your life shortened or lengthened the distance between you and your self? your essence is the spirit and identity that you brought into this earth, together with the growth you signed up to experience. it’s the inner fire, the divine light you were built to express and share with the world. here’s the trouble: the world will punish you or it will reward you for it.

worst case scenario: the world rewards you + you allow the distance between you and yourself to grow. best case scenario: the world punishes you + you allow this to bring you closer to who you really are and what you came here to be.

what if the world rewards you for being what they want and not who you are? are you strong enough to choose yourself anyway? or do you become part of the machine? what if the world punishes you for who you are and the energy you bring? are you strong enough to choose yourself anyway? do you allow your light to shine brighter or will you dim yourself because it hurts to make everyone uncomfortable?

remember that when people and places reject you, that’s the divine choosing you, and it’s an invitation for you to do the same. the divine never created anything “not good enough.” plants grow. that’s their entire job: to grow, to change. the divine has created things it expects to grow. so you know when that “not good enough” message comes up, it is the divine inviting you to learn, grow and choose yourself.
