Things I Have Learned So Far

• Daydreaming is a powerful source of inspiration unless overindulged and then it can lead to unrealistic/overdrawn expectations and lost time. You are here now. This is the moment you used to daydream about.

• Simply because someone does not express emotion the same way you express emotions doesn’t mean they are not processing. We all have different methods and modes of being. Learn to accept that others who care about you will work with you to find balance here.

• You can manifest anything with enough passion, grit, perseverance, and purpose. This requires a great deal of intention, when you can manifest anything you want you must focus on what will serve your highest potential.

• You can have everything you want in life (as long as it is in service of Spirit and your highest potential) but not necessarily all at once. We can only navigate so many blessings and challenges at the same time.

• Trusting that the trajectory of your life is perfect exactly the way it is today allows you to sink into the moment, into the flow.

• When someone rubs you the wrong way, or when you bristle against someone else’s behavior it’s an opportunity to assess yourself and why you are rubbed the wrong way. People who bother us tend to mirror something back to us that we’d rather not see or admit about ourselves.

• There is very little you actually need. You have preferences for things, but when it comes to things being a certain way, you need very little. Water, food and sleep.

• The way a mother laughs at, yells at and loves her child sounds the same in every language.

• Sleep is not always a restful luxury, sometimes it’s just an activity.

• It is okay to doubt yourself; but then go drink a glass of water and go outside. You’ve always known you could do this.

• Write letters to your future self. Your future self will be grateful to your past self for the reminder of what once was.

• If you can sit through a two-hour conversation with someone speaking in a foreign language, understanding only seventy some percent of what they’re saying; you can literally engage and sit through any social interaction for the rest of your life with grace and ease. Remember this.

• Our spirits are like temples. Sometimes the light comes clearly into the temple, gleaming on the pristine white floors. Other times, the temple is lit only by the dim light of a burning candle. Sometimes people track mud into our temples, and you must scrub the dirt from the floors. Sometimes we track mud into our own temples; this may take a much longer time for the floors to gleam. We must always remember what it felt like to have mud brought into our temples, and we must move forward, and flourish, and cherish the shining of all the light.

• Fig Tree of my life; the greatest fear might be picking the wrong fig, but there is no wrong fig. The only wrong thing is not choosing anything at all. You must choose fearlessly. You can only pick and eat a new fig once you’ve finished the first one.
