What do you know for sure about why you are on this earth?

What does your soul say when you ask it this question?

Quiet the mind and listen within for guidance.

Not everyone will love all parts of us.

And in thinking that, we may feel the need to turn down the switch on a part of us because it is “too much” for the other person. And we think, maybe after they get to know us better, we can dial it back up.

And sometimes we do and sometimes we don’t.

You are an adult, and it is your choice to approach new relationships like this.

But know – you are dialing back who you are not because you are too much but because the other person does not have the capacity to accept you fully.

You may want to continue building those relationship and that is your right, but also seek conversations with people who are open to receiving all of you. Your too much is just right in their spaces.

What are you really good at?

What comes so easily to you that you don’t even think about it? That you completely disregard its worth.

But why is something only worthy if it is hard to come by?

What may be a commodity to you is not necessarily a commodity to others. In fact, it may be the gold that they want and need.

If you had infinite amounts of gold, would you not want to share it with everyone?

“No” doesn’t mean never. It doesn’t mean maybe. It doesn’t mean I hate you. It doesn’t mean I like you. It doesn’t mean I’m better than you. It doesn’t mean I’m not good enough. It doesn’t mean I know better than you.

Instead…

“No” means not right now. “No” means no until further notice. It means I’m standing in my own worth. It means I respect you enough to give you a straight answer. It means I respect myself enough to give a straight answer. It means I know what I want. It means I know what I don’t want.

No is not a no to you but a yes to me.
