Extreme investment in the wrong things is a form of self sabotage.

Question beliefs. Question tradition. Do what is right for you and decide to choose your own path. Overloading your mental process only leads to confusion. Savour the breakthrough of no longer being in a place of uncertainty. Life will move in your favour if you keep your eyes on the big picture and allow the wheel of fate to spin and bring you what is due to you.

To get love, you need to become more loving, to attract what you are attracted to. You are drawn to those who carry your shadow. You attract those who mirror who you are. Until you heal and integrate your shadow you will keep on attracting those who will hurt you.

“It is easy to be a naive idealist. It’s easy to be a cynical realist. It’s quite another to have no illusions and still hold the inner flame. “ ~ Marie-Louise Von Franz ~

How long do you intend to cling to the narrative of your life? Have you been in a fog for two years in spite of the world around you changing completely?

How long do you intend to sit in your comfort zone? How long do you intend to procrastinate? Take action. Every day is a chance to learn, there is no room for self doubt.

Heal your issues — don’t delay. Take bold steps and never allow the grass to grow beneath your feet. Excessive rumination won’t change anything.

Take charge. Take back control of your life. Leave behind anything that is not working for you. Leave behind the old traditional way of life.

It took an emotional tsunami to wake you up to reality. Every day you write these messages to yourself, to push yourself in the direction you know you need to go. Release control. Surrender to whatever needs to happen in your life. Releasing control is taking charge of your life in a new way.

Get your confidence back and restore the balance in your life again. Create something new, put time and effort into those you love. Be inspired and take action. Allow the ocean of eternal love to wash over you.

Have flexible boundaries that allow you to take risks when you feel compelled to do so. Listen to your heart, follow your passion and purpose. Don’t cry over the mistakes you made in the past. Follow your own inspiration.

Beyond your confusion, the clouds will clear and all fears will wash away, along with the doubt you have carried from the past. Don’t let fear ever stop you again. Know where you are holding yourself back and stop doing the things you have always done. Don’t allow too much caution to keep you small.

Love conquers all. Begin a new creative, expressive cycle. You know what you need to put your voice to. Now do it.
