I used to think I would never be worthy of a worthy partner in life unless I made something of myself. Though I know where that came from, I’m still not entirely sure what it means. These tenacious weeds are something we all have in our gardens, don’t we? What I do know is that it is not only a story but also a spiritual and emotional prison, never mind a self-imposed penance for an imagined crime. Though it takes time for the scars of shame to fade, I’m grateful that awareness has engendered the slow but cumulative healing process.

As the world changes, many of us turn inward, seeking solitude to process the intense energies and personal upheavals we experience, but in doing so, we may project our chaotic emotions onto others, leading to feelings of guilt, shame, and isolation. However, these emotions are transient and impermanent, and true healing comes from embracing vulnerability, trusting our intuition, and integrating the wisdom that arises from within, all while staying grounded in love and authenticity.
We often let life play us by conforming to societal pressures, chasing external success, and accepting conditional relationships, all while believing in scarcity. True abundance, however, is found by shifting our perspective and embracing what is already present, recalibrating our inner compass, and letting go of imposed expectations and old patterns.
Each of us finds our way back to the truth in our own time, guided not by external forces or manipulation, but by the dynamic, ever-shifting circumstances we create for ourselves; the themes of our lives — from struggles to successes — are constantly evolving, reflecting our growth and curiosity as we explore the deeper mysteries of existence and the truth that reveals itself when we are ready.
Life is constantly changing, and true power lies in surrendering control, releasing expectations, and trusting the process. We can control our choices, actions, and perspective, but resisting change or clinging to permanence only causes stress and limits growth. Embracing change and allowing ourselves to adapt is key to healing, personal fulfillment, and living fully. Change is essential — either we change, or we stagnate; we die.
