I don't believe in failures. I only believe in lessons. If I learn on my own skin and from my own lessons and pain, that's for me, but if I share this with you, I will save you time and energy and we can all grow together.?
Social media became a place of people showing up and presenting all the successes and glorious stories of their life transformations and business. What I see lacking is honesty, integrity, truth, and vulnerability because that's fake. Not everything is so shiny and we need to be honest with each other because we all learn lessons.?
2022 was one of the most challenging years of my life and who knows my story knows what I've been through. But these lessons are something that made me pivot, rethink and stay true to my beliefs. Some people might say it's easy. It's easy for her to say so. She wakes up when she wants. She works with clients she chooses. She did all of this for herself. She's doing fine.?
Yes, I am, but it's not easy. It's not easy. It might sound simple, but it's not easy. And I was in a hard part.?
If you've ever been in a hard part, a hard season, you know how it feels. 2022 was like a time gap that completely paused me on my path to my purpose because I was trying to open doors?that were not meant for me. And I wanted it so hard that I tried so many times and I've been rejected so many times that it started to hurt.
But I'm still?here.
If you are on a hard part and you are still here, that's good. That's good, my baby boo, because most people would quit. Sometimes things just don't go the way we want them because that way is not meant for us. And one of the biggest lessons in 2022 for me was: What is meant for me will find me.
And that was an awakening moment.?
Because staying true to yourself, joining the room with an open heart, shining your light, sharing your love, and facing completely opposite energies of envy and manipulation is hard. That was not my room. So I found myself having a few nights having trouble sleeping, and rethinking things. And I understood something: 2022 wasn't a time gap it was a bridge. And I was standing under the bridge while enormous power was crossing over and it didn't collapse.?
Rome wasn't built in a day and I heard Jasmine Star share the story where they were building bridges and then the army was crossing over and the architect was staying down under the?bridge and if the bridge survived, the architect would survive.?
It was about building bridges. And I was in the middle of, oh please God, I don't want to make this decision. Please God, or whomever you believe in, I just don't want to make a decision. I'm not a person who cuts off other people I'm not a person who does anything wrong intentionally. I'm a light- worker. I'm here to help people. I'm on a mission to help people do what they love. But not everyone sees that light the same way, they see that from their own perspective.?
It was my lowest of lows. My self-confidence broke. My heart was broken and I needed to let go. And sometimes when you need to let go of relationships that mean to you, relationships with people you love, but they just want more from you than for you, or they just don't see your light and they don't see you. You have to go, baby boo. You have to go because your mission is to do you. Your mission is to stay true to yourself. Your mission is to be the light, to be the Love, And you can't stay surrounded by the opposite forces because that's not the path to greatness.?
So I turned back to gratitude, being thankful for whom I have become, for who I am,?for my family, for my husband who is supporting me, for my son who I'm here to support,?and the core truth, what is meant for me will find me.?
I had to let go of people, ideas, circumstances, and rooms which are not mine. And I needed to surround myself with people who want more for me than from me. I can't lose if I don't quit. Everything happens for a reason. Let go, be the light. Go back to your highest energies of love and trust in the process that the truth will find its way and bring back to you what is meant for you,?or show you a new direction.
And these are my lessons. And I trust in the power of my true heart,?that what goes around will come around and I'm still here, standing thanks to you.?
I hope these messages and these lessons will be helpful to you too. Look around yourself, and whom you are surrounded with, whether those are people, ideas, circumstances, or partners, and clean your space because those who are really meant for you will come.
May this 2023 be the best ever because the bridge is made, it's strong, it survived, and something brilliant already happened I will share it with you soon, but I'm looking forward to much more light and brilliance and love and even though I left, I still love these people, just I couldn't stand the amount of pain anymore.?
So I'm back and I will continue to be a true light-worker, helping you to build successful businesses which will support your purposes.
