Past Lives & Present Problems

30th is National Grief Awareness Day…

I never like to fully divulge my emotions, but I've always been concerned about the state of my future self. Creating boundaries has been a constant struggle for me. Without boundaries, betrayal is inevitable.

I once heard someone say: "be careful what you manifest, because you don’t know what can’t come with you.” Often, we ask our higher power to remove negativity from our lives—be it people or circumstances. However, we rarely understand what those adverse elements are until they’re gone.

Sometimes, the adversity is what's closest to us—a spouse, a best friend, a job, etc. When the removal occurs, we are often shocked and left lost and lonely. We wonder why our best friend no longer answers our calls, why our spouse has decided to separate from us, or why we were let go from our job. It’s as if we had forgotten exactly what it was that we prayed for.

We may even go as far as to attempt to reclaim what we lost, but our spirit will relentlessly remove the people or things that were originally removed from our presence because they no longer serve us— and will do so with no moral regard.

Our spirit is not concerned with our human emotions and will show us in the most intense way possible, ensuring we understand what no longer benefits our lives. We are vessels of a higher power, and that power will do whatever it takes to keep us pure.

The Holy Spirit calls you to take action. You are being led to act on your intuition, and there is nothing you can do to stop yourself. This is how you may be positive that the Holy Spirit is communicating to you and that this is what it is from.

This morning, I woke up feeling at peace, finally accepting the cards life has dealt me and wanting to forgive all who have wronged me, whether intentionally or unintentionally. This forgiveness is not for them or my ego—it’s me allowing myself to be at peace.

I’m still a work in progress. Although I would have preferred another path, I now see everything as a lesson—a lesson that grants me knowledge for dealing with future challenges. Blaming or hating people and circumstances from my past only hinders my spiritual growth. Today I recognize that, sometimes, betrayal is just a way of sending you back to yourself.

I acknowledge that my experiences are a necessary part of my story, and I can say that I’m not weaker, I’m wiser.
