And yet…you are not alone!

The journey of self empowerment is a also a journey of loneliness in many regards.

This has nothing to do with whether you have people around you or not. Usually, it’s exactly then, when you do have people that you call ‘your people’, that loneliness becomes even louder and more prominent in your reality.

Because, most likely the people you already have in your life ( your closest ones) are the ones who can least appreciate- or even see- the effort and struggle your journey of self discovery requires from you.

These are most likely the people that may even express their discomfort and annoyance exactly because you want to re-align (hence, change) aspects of yourself with your truth. They know and prefer the familiar (older) version of you even if that is not serving you anymore; it still serves them. So, your (attempt to) change is the least, intimidating to them. They cannot fully grasp it or understand it, and in the midst of their confusion they choose to minimize it, dismiss it or ignore it, as if it’s not happening.

This is not to blame them. Instead this is a call to understand them, and eventually forgive them for their (conscious or unconscious) inability to support us in the way we feel we’d need them to. Forgive them for their inability to believe in our vision the way we are called to believe in it in order to create it. It’s our vision, not theirs.

Their inability to support you feels heavy and is hurtful to you, I know, yet it’s completely normal. Most likely you’d do the same if you were in their shoes. Our minds and nervous system don’t like change. We prefer the predictable because it feels ‘safe’ - even when it is not-.

Yes, I know you feel unsupported and unseen. I know you feel no-one can understand you or cater to your unique needs and expectations for support. at this time. But remember, you always have YOU. And YOU are part of the universe. Yes, having external validation and support in your 3D reality is certainly welcomed and valuable- yet, as an adult - this is not necessary. Because the only support you truly need is your own. You need YOUR trust, you need YOUR permission, you need YOUR validation, you need YOUR love. And when you can provide that support, love and validation for yourself, then you can truly feel empowered and unstoppable.

After all that is what self- empowerment is all about. It’s about building a strong foundation within and finding our way back home, i.e. to ourselves!

You’ve got this! Keep going…
