what are you willing to give?

the thing(s) you want most – what are you willing to give for them? all your money? time? energy? integrity? your body? your truth? your light? years, decades of your life, even? would you be willing to give your soul for what you want most?

first, you need to stop running around, giving everything away just to survive, just to get through the day. sit and have a think so you can get clear as to what you want. is it love? peace? safety? abundance? to be received? met? chosen? these are big-ticket items; the price will be high. but here’s the thing: it’s not what you think. they lie to us. you don’t have to exchange anything of value for what you value. it’s not rumpelstiltskin asking, “what will you give me?”

it’s what you must surrender, which is everything you don’t want: your old self, your old life, your doubts, fears, limitations and insecurities. the old stories, cycles and lies. everything that is not in alignment with what you want has to go. it must be surrendered to make room for everything you do want.

how do we know this is true? all the times we gave away our treasure and our worth, the world was more than happy to take it. but eventually, we found it wasn’t enough; if we could buy, sell or trade for what we wanted, we would have it already. when you gave away your sovereignty, what did you get? when you gave them all the second chances in the world to make things right, did they? when they named their price and you paid in full, did you get what you needed? no, you didn’t. and that’s how you know.
