Each one must therefore give life a meaning according to how you one perceive.
If you pay attention to the patterns of your life you’ll realize everything always works out. Everything always takes you to a greater destination. You always grow and the things you think you can’t survive you somehow divinely make it through. That’s life. Always remember that.
"If you are ever tempted to look for outside approval, realize that you have compromised your integrity. If you need a witness, be your own." — Epictetus
Its all perception. It’s how you perceive things. For instance, when you look at me what do you see? If I ask each one of you I get seven, eight, nine different answers, but the truth is, you are seeing yourself.
Robert Adams
Constantly remind yourself that it is working out. You might not know how or when, but you must believe that it will. The power of your mind will create solutions, bring clarity, and show you the way. Trust yourself.
You have the power to transform anything that happens in your life into a tool to make you a little bit more yourself, and the world around you a little bit more beautiful. Alchemy is your birthright.
Every day:
Grounding
Centering
Shielding
Ask that your boundaries be reestablished. Affirm that you are home in your body.
In breath: I draw in everything I need
Out breath: I release any and all energy that does not belong to me
