Messages From The Heart - The Perfect Past

I think there is something so beautiful about sitting with yourself and hearing the whispers of your own heart and soul. This is my favourite thing to do each morning.

Nothing to accomplish, nowhere to be, nothing to fix, and surely nowhere to get to. Just being with myself while the rest of the world is quiet.

There is something so beautiful that transpires when you can sit with yourself and really take a look at everything that might be going on within, for what is going on within will surely spill out into all of the other areas of your life.

Taking this time to truly see yourself, hear yourself, love and nurture yourself is everything. It is only when we do this that we are ever able to truly experience the euphoria that comes with freedom. Freedom from whatever might be holding us back and preventing us from rising higher.

It is often during this time alone with ourselves that things rise to the surface.

The things left untreated will come rearing their ugly heads again so we can face whatever it is we might be running from.

It’s only when we find the time to look at our fears or our past and face everything head on that we are liberated and returned back to a perfect state of health, happiness, inner peace, love, and acceptance.

We all have a past.

We all have had things happen to us that have shaped us, but if we spend too much time in the past, history will only repeat itself and we will be left wondering why we can’t get ahead...

Or why we keep experiencing the same things...

Or why we keep going around in circles...

We must remain present at all times. We must look to the future. We must see everything for what it really was. An illusion. An awakening. A life lesson. A perfect past that was meant to grow us into the person we were born to be.

With this acknowledgement and profound spiritual insight, we eventually come to the realization that our past was in some way divinely ordered. That what we went through, endured, experienced, or overcame was needed and necessary. Not always welcome, not always a walk in the park, but needed. And if we can look back and make peace with it all, we are then able to move forward with grace.

Grace to handle whatever comes next, and grace to understand and know that we are now in full control of where we end up.

If we look back on the people and experiences that shaped us with gratitude and understanding, we are set free and renewed with a greater sense of strength and wisdom. A greater confidence, a greater appreciation for life, a deeper respect for ourselves, a greater love and compassion for ourselves and those around us, and a newfound faith that we are never truly alone in this world.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that without the bad, there would never be the good, and we must be thankful for it all. We must be willing to integrate all the darkness in our lives so that we can fully embrace the light that comes after. We must endure the grief, heartache, and loss so that we will know what it truly feels like to experience love, peace, and joy.

Whether you like to believe it or not, your past was perfect, and your future will be perfect too. Not perfect in how you might think it should look, but perfect for how it’s meant to look. And sometimes that realization, that things aren’t always as they appear is the greatest gift we can give ourselves.

As long as it feels good to you on the inside, then it shouldn’t matter how it looks on the outside, for it’s the inside stuff that truly matters most.

May your inner world be full of peace, love, joy, appreciation, kindness, and respect for yourself and the world around you.

This is what true transformation is all about.

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being real. It’s about honouring and feeling what needs to be felt, and then moving forward to your next adventure with a clean slate, a clear mind, and a heart of gold that knows that the best is always yet to come.
