My heart has been literally breaking lately. The last few years has been a rather intense ride of personal transformation and trust in the bigger picture of all things. While in the throes of turmoil and regardless of how often I teach about our ability to create change, I believe I lost faith in not only my own ability to live my life path but in the collective potential of all people. Perhaps watching the world dive into a global pandemic was a bit much. Witnessing the darkness and disorder not only within the United States but within the hearts and minds of many, quite overwhelming. Or maybe it was seeing first hand the individual “I mentality” or conspiracy theory, finger-pointing mindsets overpowering our collective conscious and global responsibility to co-create change that eventually pushed me to my breaking point. Throw into the mix my own personal challenges and life experiences, and there is no doubt in my mind why my heart would start to break and I would begin to question my individual and our collective ability to move forward and create balance.

However, what I have found during this time of upheaval is that the very worst thing we can do for ourselves or any other human being on the planet for that matter, is to worry and fear that we don’t have the capacity or soul potential to pull through. When we see ourselves or the world hurting without also trusting in our ability to overcome those challenges, it is like saying to our soul, “I don’t believe in your higher potential, nor do I believe you can handle your own life path or the global changes in motion.” Which of course, is bullshit. Of course we can handle our own life path and SOULworks. We came here to live the life we have, not to cower from it, fear the unknown, and feel vulnerable to both internal and external influences. As I’ve mentioned before, we do become vulnerable from time to time, but that’s only because we forget to trust in our own soul potential. Find it, and I promise you, we can individually and globally overcome anything.

Find that place within yourself to lift your heart and remember how capable you truly are to live your life to its fullest. Find that place where you can provide light, uplifting thoughts, forward movement, and community spirit from deep within your heart that radiates outwards into both your own world and our collective one. Because despite the current appearances, we do have this. Our souls are more then capable of overcoming obstacles, challenges, and shadows of darkness. We are definitely able to rise above the current vibrations of this world to remember just how powerful, vibrant, and heart-centred we all have the potential to be.

Make a resolution to yourself and the world. It is time to embody and emanate our individual and collective potential. Of course we can handle the transformation currently underway and find balance. We were born for this very moment in time. Individually, we can lift our heart and trust we have the capacity to fulfill our own life path. Together, we can lift our collective heart and trust we have the capacity to fulfill pretty much anything.

Love and Blessings Always,
