I recently read a beautiful poem. it brought tears to my eyes. Because it reminded me that we are the love of our life. It asks the following questjon - What if we are the best friend we're looking for - the answer to our prayers ? In society , we are trained to look outwards. We are willing to go to extensive lengths to keep those around us satisfied. And we forget to realise that ultimately we keep coming back to ourselves. There's no escaping the person we are. We will not be able to escape the reflection that looks back at us in the mirror. And we've got two options - we can keep trying to fix the reflection (spoiler alert - this doesn't really work) or We can learn to fall in love with it. We can seek to understand the person who looks back at us in the mirror. We can gaze into our own eyes and recognize the soul that shines through them . We can acknowledge the divine intelligence that flows through the cells of the body and we can bow to it. We can become the student of our own Sacred Soul. We can choose to hold hands with and choose to walk with it as our companion in our life. It will never abandon us. It will be our guide , our ally and protector. When we stop trying to wrestle with the truth of the soul, we start to finally trace the pathways uniquely designed for us. The map of the soul begins to become clearer to us and we start to walk the path with joy. With a spring in our step and a smile on our face 😀 And maybe it's the grandest journey one can ever embark on. Its the journey that echoes the story of the reclamation of True Self. 🌞 ☀️ 💎 Here's the poem I mentioned Love after love By Derek Walcott The time will come when , with elation You will greet yourself arriving At your own door , in your own mirror . And each will smile at the other's welcome and say Sit here , eat. You will love again the stranger who was yourself. Give wine , give Bread Give back your heart. To itself To the stranger who has loved you all your life Whom you ignored , for another , who knows you by heart

And honestly, if this topic triggers you… good. That usually means your mind is opening to new ideas, new levels, and a completely different way of living. This triggered me deeply in the beginning too. I used to believe struggle was normal. That exhaustion meant I was working hard enough. That wanting more made me selfish or unrealistic. But the more I expanded beyond my comfort zone, questioned old programming, and reconnected with myself… everything started changing. And now? This is my truth. I no longer resonate with fear, limitation, or survival mode. All I feel now is love. Trust. Expansion. Overflow. And this is not about organized religion. Call it God, source, creator, divine intelligence, universe, higher self, whatever resonates with you. But at some point, you realize there is something bigger than your current fears and limitations. And sometimes the biggest breakthrough happens when you finally get out of your own way. The desires in your heart are not random. The vision you have for your life is not random. The longing for more freedom, abundance, joy, and overflow was planted inside of you for a reason. You were not put on this earth just to survive. You were meant to expand. You were meant to receive. You were meant to fully live. Money is not separate from spirituality. And in the hands of a good person, money creates more freedom, more impact, more love, and more opportunities. A lot of us were programmed to believe struggle equals worthiness. That you have to overwork, burn out, and constantly prove yourself to deserve more. I don’t believe that anymore. Now I understand that rest is productive. Joy is productive. Being fully present is productive. Following your gifts, your excitement, your ideas, your natural talents, that creates value. That creates impact. And when you create from alignment instead of fear, life starts responding differently to you. More opportunities show up. More money flows in. More love flows in. More support flows in.

HERE’S BUDDHA’S ADVICE THAT HELPS You keep telling yourself, “I need to move on.” But deep inside… something still holds on. To the memories. To the late-night conversations. To the version of life you thought would last forever. You replay old moments in your mind. You revisit what was said. What could have been. What should have happened differently. Part of you knows it’s over… yet your heart still waits. And that’s what hurts the most. One day, someone asked the Buddha, “Why is letting go so painful?” The Buddha replied gently, “You suffer because you try to hold onto what has already changed.” In Buddhism, this is called attachment—clinging to people, moments, expectations, and memories as if they were meant to stay forever. But life does not work that way. People change. Feelings change. Seasons change. And sometimes… endings arrive long before we are emotionally ready for them. The pain is not always because you lost something. The pain often comes from resisting the reality that it is already gone. The Buddha taught: “Letting go is not forgetting. It is accepting.” Accepting that some people were only meant to be chapters, not permanent homes. Accepting that some connections teach you more through ending than staying. Accepting that holding onto the past too tightly only keeps your wounds open. You do not heal by forcing yourself to stop caring. You heal slowly… the moment you stop fighting reality. So breathe deeply. Stop rereading old messages searching for answers. Stop reopening doors your soul is trying to close. Stop asking why someone changed when life itself is change. Not everything lost is meant to return. And not every ending is punishment. Some endings are redirection. Some are protection. Some are necessary for your next chapter to begin. The Buddha’s advice was simple: “Open your hand.” Because peace enters your life the moment you stop gripping what is already gone.
