Something shifted. I remember the day vividly. It was a crisp morning, the kind where the air feels fresh and new, like a promise of change. I dropped the bags. They were metaphorical bags filled with the weight of unmet expectations and self-imposed duties. In that instant, I felt a sudden lightness. It was a freedom I hadn’t known before. It was as if I had been given permission to breathe deeply for the first time.
In those quiet moments of clarity, I turned my focus inward, seeking a connection with my higher self and the Most High. It was a journey into my own depths, a courageous exploration of the shadows I had long avoided. I realized that within those shadows lay hidden treasures—wisdom waiting to be unearthed.
As I nurtured my inner child with compassion, I began to understand the power of curiosity in healing. I asked myself questions like, “Why is that there?” and “What can I do to transmute this thing?” Each question was a gentle invitation to sit with my discomfort and transform it into something meaningful. It wasn’t always easy, and often it was uncomfortable, but it was necessary.
I found solace in the words of Ecclesiastes, “Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing.” These words reminded me that every challenge has a lesson. Every trigger carries a shard of wisdom waiting to be claimed. The lesson, I realized, was to discern what truly belonged to me and what did not. To learn that it’s okay to let go.
My journey taught me that resilience isn’t about holding everything together. It’s about knowing when to release, when to lean into vulnerability, and when to embrace my own strength. It’s about transforming shadows into light and burdens into blessings. And in this transformation, I discovered a profound truth: freedom is not given, it is claimed.
