One of the most common reasons we are so tied into making our parents, or others happy, is that we were not properly mirrored when we were children. We were not honored as individuals in our own right, with a will and purpose of our own, and as a result, we learned to look outside of ourselves for approval, support, and direction rather than look within.
When we come to realise that we may be living our lives in an effort to make our parents or others happy, we may feel shocked or depressed by this information, but we can trust that it is coming to us at this time because we are ready to find out what it would mean to live our lives for ourselves.
Following the call of our own soul and refusing any longer to be beholden to someone else's expectations is your birthright!
It’s easy to get caught up in the expectations of others or the pressures we put on ourselves, but the truth is, our souls will always lead us down the right path, but the only way is to go inwards, a journey many of us fear!! to go inwards create space, stillness, and silence, and listen to that little subtle voice of our soul, reconnect with it, and let it lead the way.
The good news is that the part of us that was not adequately nurtured when we were little girls, is still there, inside us, like a seed waiting to sprout and blossom, and allow its inner contents to unfold its truth! It is NEVER too late to provide ourselves with what we need to awaken this inner being!
