To meet your higher self, you must be willing to let your current identity die. The version of you built for survival cannot walk through the gates of transformation. It is in the letting go that you meet who you were always meant to be beneath the fear.
You are allowed to want more without guilt. Desire is not greed, it is guidance. The longing in your chest is not proof you’re ungrateful, it’s a compass pointing to expansion. Wanting is not wrong when it arises from soul, not ego.
