11 Breakthrough Lessons from the Past 11 Months of 2023
As the year draws to a close, I find my heart ablaze with new fervor, a fire kindled by the past 11 months of profound learning and growth. I've come to see that in serving you, I embrace my true worth and find my purpose in heart-led service on our planet.
Today, I want to share with you 11 invaluable lessons that this year has taught me. May they illuminate your path and help you love and understand more of your magnificent self.
Lesson #1: You Create Your Reality.
Everything that irks or bothers you? That's your creation. Don't wish for external changes; it's a fruitless pursuit. Whether it's your best friend, your business, or your partner, pushing them to change is not the answer. Instead, transform the energy within you that's allowing these issues to arise.
Lesson #2: Face Resistance Head-On.
Tackle the tasks you dread first thing in the morning. It's the only way to discover how brave, skilled, and bright you truly are. Our resistance points to the limits of our identity, and breaking through these limits daily expands our life experiences.
Lesson #3: Harness Your Power.
When someone or something makes you feel bad, insecure, guilty, or ashamed, seize this chance to exercise your inner strength. Recognize and break free from addictive stress and shame cycles. Stand firmly for your worth and respect, without belittling or judging others. Power grows through compassion and consistency.
Lesson #4: Time is Relative.
Your urgency or relaxed pace need not align with others'. Follow your heart's timeline and rhythm without comparison.
Lesson #5: Relationships are Fluid.
People can shift between being energy vampires and compassionate teachers. Engage with them based on their current energy, not past dynamics.
Lesson #6: Judgments Limit You.
Judging the world closes more doors than it opens. Accept reality as it is and contribute positively to it.
Lesson #7: Preserve Your Energy.
If your work involves interacting with many people, limit these interactions or your words. Consider an energy fast – a day without technology or conversations – to recharge.
Lesson #8: Embrace Healing.
Healing and transformation are easier than the resistance and fantasies surrounding them. Face your wounds head-on for a healthier, happier life.
Lesson #9: Life's Games are Internal.
Love, life, money, joy – they're all internal games. Others are merely temporary players showing you aspects of yourself.
Lesson #10: Teachers Provide What You Need, Not Necessarily What You Want.
A true teacher offers you opportunities for growth, not just answers.
Lesson #11: Gratitude is Divine.
Living in gratitude completes your life's mission. Be so grateful that the world's best blessings are drawn towards your energy.
I am eternally grateful to each of you, my sisters. You teach me, inspire me, and reflect the best of me. Here's to a year of learning, growing, and thriving together!
With all my love and gratitude,
Saleha
