Listen for your Intended Life

"We all have two lives. The second begins when we realize we only have one". 

True, with regards to this one specific earthly life. Anyone who knows me - REALLY knows me - which are not many - will know that I am most definitely a believer of past lives and the fact that our souls have lived soooo many lifetimes before this one. So in that sense, we have a long time to learn our lessons, and a whole lot of previous experience and knowledge when dealing with worldly stressors. Knowledge that exists even without us realizing. Some of us have lived more lifetimes than others, and some of us are more aware of our hidden compartments of knowledge than others-this becomes apparent when talking with people-listen to what they talk about, how they talk about others, see how they treat others. I honestly believe that until we are at a certain point with ourselves, we won't be able to move forward from whatever is holding us back from living our intended life. Lessons need to be learned-and understood-before any type of closure or forward movement can take place. And the sad thing is that nobody can get you to that point except you. Absolutely, people are put in our lives for a reason, and can help us along the way. But they alone cannot be the sole solution to conquering your own barriers. And if they do appear to "fix it"-it will only be a temporary fix. Something great happens when you have faith in yourself and begin to release a need to know how all will turn out. As soon as we let life happen as it intended for us to, a whole lot of tension is eased. The second we realize that life is so much bigger than us is the second that the universe will begin to manifest what we want. That being said, it won't happen overnight or without us putting in the groundwork, which is often the hardest/scariest/most overwhelming-and oftentimes the place that we give up on before even starting. That's not fair, not to us or the endless number of individuals who have come before us and continue to live inside of us, desperately trying to show us lessons along the way on how to live our truth.
