3 Things I Know to be True About You.
After a lifetime of personal discovery and a career filled with wellness and woo woo work, I’ve come to know a few universal truths. These truths run through my understanding of my spirituality and that of my clients, colleagues, and mentors. If you’re feeling a little lost in your own soulful and spiritual journey, I hope these three truths are a comfort.
YOU ARE INHERENTLY VALUABLE - If God/Goddess/Mother Earth/Gaia/Universal Consciousness/The Universe Itself made everything we see, know, and touch. Then everything we see, know, and touch is valuable. There are no spare parts or extraneous items. Therefore, you cannot be extraneous. You are made with and of purpose and value that exists no matter what you do or do not do.
ONLY GOOD OR NEUTRAL THINGS HAPPEN TO YOU FOR A “REASON” - So don’t worry….bad things that happen to you are not divinely sent your way as punishment for your badness. If #1 is true, then you cannot be bad at your core; you are good, valuable, and made on/with purpose. The Universe (God/Goddess/Mother Earth/Gaia/Universal Consciousness/Whatever You Believe in) works in neutral and positive ways because it is a neutral and positive Source, just like you. Do hard things happen? Yes…and this is due to the free will of our imperfect self and human race. Humans do bad things.
YOU ARE MADE OF TWO PARTS, HUMAN & SOUL - Your humanness is the YOU of this lifetime. - it is birth, death, the opportunities, the loves, the heartbreaks, the sweaty excitements, and chilling fears that we face every day. It is all the beautiful and brutal parts of our life day in and day out. Your soulfulness is the YOU NOW AND BEYOND this lifetime - it is the core of who you really are, the you that is most you. The Soul is the is the you that existed before this lifetime, exists within this lifetime, and will exist after this lifetime. Therefore, it is also the you that is connected to something greater than you (AKA God/Goddess/Mother Earth/Gaia/Universal Consciousness/The Universe Itself).
Every time I waiver in my spirituality or self-worth, I return to these concepts. Every time the human me is worried or afraid I seek comfort in these concepts. I hope that no matter what you believe in that they comfort you, too.
