It doesn’t matter how badly you want something.

It only matters what you are doing to get it.

Wanting things can be motivation for some and torment for others.

You need to know what you want and realize that is just the beginning. Once you are clear on your desires you must take action.

Action is how you honour your desires.

Action is how you acknowledge them and bring them into being.

Your action will free you from the pain of wanting, from that burning feeling in your chest that only desire brings.

It is in your taking a step – no matter how big or small – that you are getting closer to your dreams.

We are all weaving our dreams one step at a time. All of us.

That’s how’s dreams are won.

That’s how to alleviate that anxiety of wanting.

That’s how we become free.

I will never be behaved or quiet or convenient for those set on stifling me.

I won’t shrink or waiver or wallow when there is work to be done.

I don’t follow or wait for permission and I sure as hell won’t shut my mouth for fear of your fragility.

I stand up and speak up and wake up ready and willing to serve.

And you may not like what’s on the menu but I’ll never make you eat …unless you sit at my table.

But don’t come to my house and complain about the feast because you had nothing to do with my harvest.

And there is a wildness about me that makes you uneasy.

You see my soul like my hair: disobedient and untamed.

You try to force me to my knees not understanding that while there are bows worth taking, I’ll never bend to your will.

I can see that the rebellion of my spirit is nothing short of infuriating for a soul dead set on misunderstanding me.

But you don’t know how hot the flames were that cleansed a soul like mine.

And nothing is more worth my time than working on my rise.

You may wonder why I’m so steady and how I know for sure.

Why I follow the call so strongly and never linger on insecure.

The reason I move forward is really not all that complex.

You see I just decided I wanted more than the limits that you set.

And I’ve ever needed more reason for knowing my worth and where to go, outside of the booming voice in my head that screams:

“Because I fucking said so!”

Something you will notice as you continue along your spiritual growth journey is that the more you expand into the life you want, the more you become energetically unavailable for your old ways of doing things and being.

As you get closer to what you want, you get further from what no longer serves you.

This is the way. We must sacrifice our old skin for our new one.

Not everything will change but you will see that you will become energetically unavailable for people, places, things and behaviours that used to serve you but no longer do.

This feels uncomfortable at first but is a necessary step in becoming.

So, if you start noticing that you aren’t enjoying your old habits as much and you start to feel disconnected from people who used to be able to soothe you, trust that you are discovering new places within your soul.

I like to call these growths an internal spiritual renovation.

And as with any renovation, we must be willing to look upon the possibility of a place and trust that this new way will one day feel like home too.

We deconstruct and rebuild. Sometimes keeping pieces of what once was and building upon them, sometimes gutting everything and starting from scratch. Regardless of the extent, we are creating a new way of being.

And if your old friends are meant for your new home, they will respect it, respect your choices and feel welcomed.

The only people annoyed at you raising your standards are the people who know they are below them.
The rest of us are thinking, “about time”

Same goes for your boundaries. People who push back at what makes you feel safe, respected and aligned, are not your people!

One of the many amazing side effects of having boundaries and raising your standards is that you become unavailable for toxic, selfish and energy depleting people.

You then become more available to notice and experience high vibrational and kind and loving people.

The Universe responds to your desires.

If you tell Her that you are worth more and no longer willing to settle and you no longer indulge people, places and things vibrating below your standards, then you will see the whole world rise to meet you.

It’s not that you are putting others down. It’s that you are RISING to your potential.

You are taking responsibility for your desires, life and experience and you are in turn respecting others to do the same.

Your boundaries and standards communicate to the world what your values are and what’s necessary in order to interact with you.

It helps us honour you because you are showing us how YOU honour YOU.

It is the greatest gift you can give yourself and the greatest example of how we can associate with you.

If your love, kindness, respect, integrity, safety and alignment make others uncomfortable, that is a direct reflection of the fact that they are also uncomfortable with showing those values to you.

Why they are uncomfortable doesn’t need to concern you. They are on their own journey.

Let those people fall away or rise with you as they will.

But you need to be on board with what serves you!

You need to show us how to treat you!

You need to be the first person you can count on to fight for your dreams.

You need to raise your standards to reflect your worth!

You need to be in alignment with what you say, do and think!

And you need to get busy loving yourself and respecting yourself so hard that the rest of us cannot help but follow suit!

The only person responsible for your healing is you.

The people that did you wrong are not coming back to fix you, heal you, make you whole or save you from the pain their actions may have caused.

The people that do the breaking are not in charge of the fixing. Do not offer them the most valuable parts of you a second time when they haven’t made their own steps in healing.

They played their parts and hopefully never return to do more damage.

You must come to understand that your healing is your responsibility and by all means needs to be your priority.

Put yourself first! Most especially when others have failed to do just that.

Don’t look for your worth on how you’ve been treated or what your past relationships have shown.

You were born whole and loved and worthy of this entire world.

You can start again.

You can decide again.

You can change your mind.

You can raise your standards.

You can heal from within.

You can overcome and walk through this pain.

You can rise again and again and again.

You can be kind and powerful at the same time.

You can raise your standards without putting anyone down.

You can transform your life and remove toxic people with love and respect.

You can part ways with friends, family and lovers and still bless them.

The declaration of your dreams doesn’t have to mean you hurt anyone else.

And you can change your mind about anything you want at anytime.

You are allowed to evolve and grow and allow your experiences and lessons to inspire change.

You cannot feel both fear and faith at the same time. It’s one or the other.

There is an #alignment you need in order to trust that things are going to work out or that you are on the right path or that you are going to achieve your goals.

That alignment needs to be built on the #unshakablefaith that whatever it is you desire and are calling in is already in existence and is on its way to you.

It is already a thing that has been created and you are just on your way toward it and it is on its way to you. You are #attracting it because your #vibration is aligned with whatever it is that you desire.

You do not waver, doubt, back peddle or get anxious or afraid that you might miss out or somehow screw things up.

Because the minute you doubt yourself or your desires, you are not in alignment and your dreams are not a vibrational match anymore.

Your doubt severs the universal ties to attracting your dreams.

Your #faith in “it” whatever “it” is, means that you do not doubt it is possible. You are not afraid of missing out. You do not believe you can fail. Because you can’t.

How can you possibly fail at something you have created and called forth?

You simply trust that it’s working out in your favour because it can’t not work out. Because it has to work out. Because it already is worked out.

Don’t get caught up in the HOW – just allow it to be. When you have that unshakable faith and confidence that it is going to work out, then you need to #surrender to #allow it to come to be in whatever way, shape and form it comes to you.

Leave the details up to #source and just ease into flow.

Your job is to believe and #letgo and create.

You are the #vessel, the #artist and the #muse and when you understand that, you can truly release your need to figure out the details and trust that it’s all coming. It’s on its way. It’s already here.

You do not need to hope for your dreams – you need to depend on them.

#soultogethernow

“When I have faith in my desires, my desires are brought to life by my unshakable faith.”

Desire. Believe. Allow. Receive.

You not having time has nothing to do with time and everything to do with you not prioritizing.

We take time for the things we put high on the list of things that matter to us.

Can you do everything at once? Of course not.

Can you reorganize your life in a way that reflects your desires and needs? Absolutely.

Stop blaming time and start rearranging your priorities.

Be very wary of people who try to convince you that you are not whole or that you need a little more of anything outside of yourself in order to be complete.

You already have everything you need because you are always whole.

It is impossible for you to be any other way.

That doesn’t mean that sometimes you won’t feel defeated or sad or depressed or angry.

But know that whatever emotion you are feeling, whatever situation arises in your life – you are always a full, miraculous and whole human being.

You are not broken or flawed.

You are not missing something or unlovable.

You are not difficult to be around.

You are not a complicated thing that needs solving or forcing in order to be loved.

You are not lost.

You can never undo the beauty that encompasses your true nature.

You can never be separate from your love.

These truths may feel far fetched sometimes.

Sometimes, you may need reminders of your light.

Sometimes, you may need to show yourself the evidence of your own glory and reach deep into the reserves.

But don’t you ever, not even for a second, believe the bullshit story that you are somehow missing pieces of yourself or that you need fixing.

The only thing that ever needs adjusting is the way we perceive ourselves.

And no external person, place or thing can offer up some part of yourself that didn’t already exist before.

You are your own saving grace and therein lies your freedom.

You and you alone get to decide who you are.

Don’t let people shame you.

Don’t let people blame you for your past.

If people try to deny your history, dig your heels even deeper into your own conviction of yourself.

Let the footsteps of your ancestors guide you.

When they try to silence your voice, sing louder, write more passionately, never let them dim you.

When they try to distract, discourage and demand you stop – Disobey them. Create more. Be seen. Let it all pour out.

When people hold your sins against you, forgive yourself and move on.

You have been through far too much to allow others the dishonor of trying to define you against your will.

The quickest way out of fear is faith.

And the absolute best way to let someone know who you are is to show them by staying true to your heart no matter what and doing everything in your power to make all of your own dreams come true.
