Killing You Softly

To see what another has and wish for it, is death to the soul.

What has been given to you is for you. What has been given to another is for the other.

Your soul has within it everything you need to know to operate your mind, spirit, body, and heart.

What foods to eat, languages to learn, what kind of person to marry, even which climates are best for your living — all of this information is buried in the essence of your soul.

Walking away from it or wishing for someone else’s essence is a message to your soul that you’re not interested in living with it- being with it. And so, it will commence to killing you – mind, heart, body and spirit through bad choices and apathy; simply so that it can divest itself from the hostile environment that you’ve created.

This is not a message about loving yourself. We’re not there yet. This is a message about *knowing* yourself first. Perhaps liking yourself, so that yes, you can eventually trust yourself.

Beyond your astrology or tour Myers-Briggs type or your favorite color, your deepest essence is calling to be understood and expressed. Knowing and accepting who you are: these are the first steps to self-fulfilment. Because you’re not trying to be someone else. You’re really just looking for you.
