who is my reflection?

who is yours?

how to let go "there will be days like these. days that feel pointless, and nights that seem unending. sunrises that exist to save you from them and sunsets to remind us that change is beautiful. we all have our feats so walk. walk on a path guided by your heart and steered by your soul. each step with purpose and the next with conviction. show us who you were, are, and will be. embrace your path, it exists as an autobiography continually written upon. your past is not who you are, but context for who you will be. your flaws do not make up your being, but serve as reminders that you are human, broken in a way that is beautiful – leaving no room for normalcy, you are special. your circumstances do not define you, but they will facilitate the story telling what you came from, and on days where these circumstances serve as blockades, when time feels out of reach and beyond perspective. the world is yours. these are words that may have been said to you, but you maynot have heard. so let me reiterate, the world is yours. it isn't outside of you, it lies blanketed in your perspectives. you cannot live another man's life, in the same way you will not last living within the confines another man's reality. your life will not be defined by those who have not lived it, so live. and in the event that you forget how, go outside. our earth will train you in this art. watch the roses, how they grow amongst thorns. they will show you beauty despite your imperfections. sit under autumn trees as the leaves fall, they will teach you how to let go."

your control, realize there is power in your

law of attraction one one understand that the thoughts you give out are received by the universe and have effects on your real life . your vibrations are matched by the universe.

two

visualize and plan out what you want to gain from this. don't hesitate to be specific, don't hold back on any of your desires/act in any way like they won't happen. the universe can sense this energy and you should be all in, 100%!

three

act and think like what you are manifesting is already true. don't dwell on the 'what ifs'. while manifesting your goals, at the same time work towards them. help show the universe you really want what it is you're asking for.

four four let go of any resistance or hesitation you may have. let go of your thoughts and let the universe do its thing. in the meantime, keep repeating your affirmations, visualizing your goals, practising spirituality however you do so.

happy manifesting <3

THE UNIVERSE IS HERE FOR YOU. IT IS LISTENING. YOU ARE THE CENTRE OF YOUR OWN UNIVERSE.
