Open When

Hope is powerful and cannot be contingent on whatever doors are opening or closing in front of you. That’s disrespectful to hope. That’s degrading to the power of the Universe. 

Your life, your purpose, is wrapped in nothing but you. It is not buried in the relationship that ended. It is not tied to the job you were fired from. You won’t find it glued to the acceptance or denial to grad school. 

You’re bigger than that. The Universe is bigger than that. You have to stop shrinking God to fit your circumstance.

The moment has arrived to unearth your passions, reconnect with your wild, and dig up the lost gems that light your eyes up.You are a force. You no longer have time or energy to squander on the things, people, or situations that drain you or pull you away from your power. There is no more time to wait or waste. You are done living a life that is an inadequate reflection of you. You are done living in a way that is beneath you. You are now someone who easily recognizes what is for you and what is not. It’s incredible how easily you've become one who walks away from all that wishes to go, standing firm in your center as the brightest light in the darkest room. 

Part of me knows there’s nothing that heals hurt, but time. Maybe it feels like this weight is going to sit on your heart forever. Making it hard to breathe. But I can’t let you believe that. Life is more than this moment. This incredibly temporary moment. This moment is a minute fraction of your life as a whole. And life can change for the better at any given second.  The other side of this moment, this pain, this despair, is a better life. Right now, this darkness is doing its faithful duty of uncovering your new gifts and traits for who you are about to become. Activating pieces of yourself you've never seen before. Life rolls in seasons and summer is coming. You don’t need to seek out artificial light, look inside, my friend….you’re the whole damn sun. 

Or maybe you owe someone an apology. Maybe it’s you, that you owe an apology. For staying in a situation that wasn't serving you far past its expiration date. For settling for less. Or maybe you owe yourself compassion. Maybe you've been too hard on yourself when you've really been trying. When you've tried so hard over and over and it didn't work. 

I know you're afraid. I know its scary to change what you've always known. And I know its really just fear holding you back from living in your truth. But your soul knows what's on the other side of fear. Your soul, in fact, doesn't even see that fear. It really only sees the joy, happiness, and success. It sees you bathing in swimming pools of money while being fanned by cabana boys in golden speedos. Or something very, very similar.  

So maybe it’s time for something new. To create space to see what can transpire. To open your world to possibility of more.

Open when you feel jealous or are catching yourself comparing your progress to someone else.

You know that feeling of starting over? It's scary and intimidating and can be beautiful all at the same time. 

Take a deep breath. I know today is a lot. Maybe a lot, a lot. But the good news is, having a lot going on means things are moving in your life ins...
